So, now you can create for GP2X platform.
(http://gp2x.co.uk/newblack.gif) (http://www.gp32x.com)
Please download a new setup for this purpose:
http://www.glbasic.com/files/glbasic_sdk.exe
With this you can build GP2X games. Attention- there is much space for optimizations left and it might be slow on some purposes. 3D is sub-optimal, too. Simply check for internet updates frequently.
I try to get a bundle GLBasic+GP2X for a decent price - stay tuned.
Bye,

Wow... well done Gernot! :D
I've posted this news on some of the GPX2 developer websites.
Hey hey nice to see you compile for GP2X!
I'v downloaded the demo SDK, and tried some very basic sample projects (hello world etc.)
Now it always compiles fine, then I copy the .gpe, the mmuhack.o and related fonts/bitmaps to my GP2X, but... nothing but a black screen.
I'v tried to run it in a shell, so I could see any error messages, but all I see it this:
[root@gp2x test]$./Hello_world.gpe
Got /dev/mem at 0x7
Got blitter at: 0x4232a000
writing to back buffer
worked!then nothing... if I press ctrl+c it returns to the shell.
Can you tell me how to get it working? thanks! or maybe tell me how to get more debug info so I can find out what's wrong!
Oh dear. I'll upload an update. Sorry.

Hello,
I've donwloaded the last version (4.085) of GLBasic and
I've wrote simple program :
PRINT "Ciao Mondo" ,10,10
SHOWSCREEN
KEYWAITbut when running the program into GP2X the screen is black
and for exit I've turning off the GP2X.
The firmware version of my GP2X is 2.11 and the maximum frame rate is 66 Hz.
Regards,
Neurox
OK. I have to fix this tonight. I don't have my GP2X here at work, so was unable to test it. So, so sorry!
Quote from: GernotFrischOK. I have to fix this tonight.
Ok !
I'll wait ;-)

I tried the latest webupdate. The GP2X still doesn't seem to work.
Compiling for windows now gives the error:
linking:
C:/Program Files/GLBasic/Compiler/platform/Win32/Lib/libGLBasic.a(OpenGLRainbows.o):OpenGLRainbows.cpp:(.text+0x6c60): undefined reference to `gf_write_png'
*** FATAL ERROR - Please post this output in the forumP.S. The GP2X still compiles, but still shows black screen, let us know on the gp32x.com forums when it's fixed! I'll create something like a 3d arkanoid game then to show the community how it runs on GP2X :)
Fixed both bugs.
Hi, sorry but I'm go to crazy ;-)
I have updated with last version of GLBasic (4.086)
and I've compiled this simple file :
// --------------------------------- //
// Project: 01prova
PRINT "Hello GP2X" ,10,20
SHOWSCREEN
KEYWAITGP2X Firmware version is 2.11
I've copy the file gpe and mmuhack.o into GP2X,
but the screen still black
Please tell me something :-)
Paolo
YEah me too, tried this:
PRINT "Hello GLBasic World !", 0, 100;
SHOWSCREEN
WHILE (TRUE)
WENDto avoid code that might be bugged, and also tried arkanoid, and simple3d (without the MOUSESTATE stuff)
but all 3 still give a black screen.
Update online. You should be able to make games now. Only problem seems clipping of upper border with SPRITEs so far.

I've downloaded the last version (4.089) and compiled the "Hello World" file,
but still shows black screen on GP2X!
Neurox
O_O? Try something more sophisticated:
WHILE TRUE
FILLRECT 0,0,160,160,RGB(255,0,0)
PRINT "Help Me", 100, 100
SHOWSCREEN
WENDPress Vol- AND Vol+ for "Escape". So, so strange. It wokred here...
See the file: GLBasic/Compiler/platform/GP2X/Lib/libGLBasicGP2X.a and tell me the "last change" date, please.

that's the correct one. Did you "sync" before starting? That is: open a telnet, login as root and type "snyc" (no quotes).
Or: Get the SD card out, copy there and re-insert it.
Have you tried http://www.glbasic.com/beta/wumbo-gp2x.rar? It was compiled using exactly this library.
So strange...

I have also tried this now, with identical results to Neurox. The Wumbo demo works fine however.
I've uploaded a new update with works 100% perfectly on my machine. Can you please test? Also, can you try starting the .gpe over telnet and post the output if it fails?

I've also tried this now with telnet .
The GP2X is always black :-( but telnet output is :
Using mmuhack.o
Got /dev/mem at 0x7
Got blitter at: 0x4232a000Other steps ?
Neurox
With version 4.090?
Quote from: GernotFrischWith version 4.090?
Yes !
Neurox
Would you mind uninstalling GLBasic, Delete _all_ files from GLBasic folder, download the SDK again and re-install it?
I have not the faintest clue why it does not work, where the Wumbo game _does_ work. I mean: It's the exact same compiler I used. I'm so puzzled...
Quote from: GernotFrischWould you mind uninstalling GLBasic, Delete _all_ files from GLBasic folder, download the SDK again and re-install it?
1) I've uninstalled GLBasic
2) Delete all files and directory remain
3) Reset Windows XP
4) Download the last version of GLBasic
5) installed GLBasic
6) I've rewrite the sample codes and compiled / copy to GP2X
7) Execute with a telnet but the I've same result :-(

If you want , I'll send the gpe file for test with your GP2X ?
Neurox
I've got an idea!!! My code first didn't work because I had a wrong mmu_hack.o.
Please check, if the mmu_hack.o you're using has these details:
Last Change: Aug-12-2006, 23:38:28
File Size: 1676 BytesAlso make sure you don't have an older mmu_hack.o in your /usr/lib/modules/... directory

the only mmu_hack.o found into my GP2X is with glbasic test file,
and mmu_hack.o details is the same!

FIXED!! It was a Demo-Version problem. Thx for your help.
Quote from: GernotFrischFIXED!! It was a Demo-Version problem. Thx for your help.
Excellent. Is this fix an internet update or a full version download? Off to work now, but I look forward to trying it out later :)
Quote from: GernotFrischFIXED!! It was a Demo-Version problem. Thx for your help.
Yes, good work, the problem is fixed!
But I found another problem :-(
When you exit from GLBasic application to menu,
the menu,icons and various options are "mixed"
and made a strange problem.
Thanks,
Neurox

I've now had this working. I've noticed a different bug to Neurox though: I can't seem to exit the application. The blue bar slowly decreases, but pressing vol- and vol+ just freezes it and does not exit to menu. I've tried a few other things (I lost the while/wend loop and tried a keywait at the end instead) but I still cannot exit the application. Maybe i'm just making a stupid mistake though :)
No, you're right. 90% of the time it locks up and won't reload the gp2xmenu. I've got to find this bug, still.

there is a same problem in last version (4.092)
Neurox
Does 4.092 run? I mean: I've not done anything to the end-problem, but does it run 2D gfx?
It should be able to run 3D graphics, too. (try Samples/3D/Simple)

I can't even so much as draw a simple shape in 3D on GP2X. I presumed that was just because the GP2X doesn't support the 3D stuff.
3D on GP2X is quite useless. I'm working on a great improvement, but it's going to take some time.
