Ginge: Playing GP2X Games on the Pandora (or WIZ)

[lexxman1]

is it possible to play gp32 games on the caanoo? the gp32 has coolgames

[OCNRob]

I'm dying with anticipation for Ginge to come to the Caanoo, I hope Notaz didn't give up work on it.

[christo930]

Electonia is a great game. If you have a gp32 gp2x or wiz, caanoo or pandora, download it and run it. One of the best puzzle games for the machines listed,

[MkombatP]

Which GP2X emulators are currently running?

[jlenoconel]

Ginge lol.  Best name ever.

[zbarsky]

this all looks like a big bag of win!

[itchytastyurr]

this means games made with GAME EDITOR can be ported to CAANOO?

(game editor is a game making soft for cross platforms- but only states it exports to gpx2 with no indication it will or has been modified to cater for the newer console; so this would be of benifit for making games for the caanoo.....

Cave story! O_O

[CiniCraft]

does the pandora have internal memory storage or do you need sd cards?

evil dragon here back from the dad

[hollandc27]

will this be easy to port to Maemo5/n900 ?

[kennyspirit]

notaz u are fucking awesome!!

(I don't have wiz or pandora, but ginge is absolutly great and I must say it!)

[TheRealAlpha2]

WOW. I am seriously find it hard to contain the desire for my still as of yet unbuilt Pandora. It really does seem to get better and better! (and I'm sure the other guys are excited for this too!)

[jonathanrpritchard]

So sweet, go Notaz.

[Grus0]

So good. Hey ED, do I see one or two other GP32 Spain entries after the 5min mark? :-)

To those asking about what will run - Notaz says he has run the Payback demo without a problem. Games that use the second GP2X core _won't_ run, that includes Egoboo and Vektar.

This is clearly some kind of witchcraft!

[GodliKeRem1X]

Oh my, this might be a killer app. I hope Payback works :D

[shaurz]

Nice! Do you think Cave Story will get a native Pandora port?

[geekymarianne]

@shaurz, probably not, noone's been able to get permission to make a new port of Cave Story since the Wii version got started, so I'm extremely glad for this way of running it on a Pandora.

[mangabuddy]

Great project! Does Payback work? Is the touchscreen supported?

[markvergeer]

Wow. Being able to run Wiz games on the Pandora in a similar fashion would be very awsome, same goes for gp32 games!

[EvilDragon1717]

@markvergeer

WIZ should be possible, as it also runs on Linux, however, GP32 is pretty hard (since games run directly on the hardware)

[markvergeer]

@EvilDragon1717 Ah so it is just a matter of providing a pipe to the old library (gp2x) within a runtime environment on the host console. So no emulation but more like the Wine implementation on x86 linux.
