I don't want to buy the GP2X because I' ve already got the Tapewave Zodiac Handheld.
And I plan to buy GLBasic SDK premium if you port GLBasic for the Zodiac.

Thank you very much. Best Regards.

I think it will not be suported, since I just don't have the time for it, nor do I see great community for it.

Hi Gernot,

Ok... But There's a WinCE version ...
And I think there 's a great community for PalmOs too. So can you port GLBasic to PalmOs ?
Many people like me want to code Games with Basic.
And GLBasic seems to be a great one !
If not what about a Sony PSP version ?

Best Regards.

I'm no expert on this but porting to WinCE is probably childsplay compared to porting to PalmOS if the code is already written for windows...

Palm should not be much of a problem. But the screen resolutions are so, so different.
OTOH, I have te feeling that palm is quite dead, no?

I 'm not an expert coder...

The Gp2X screen resolution is 320*240 pixels and the Zodiac is 480*320 pixels.

Also the PalmOs community is very very active.
Just google and you will see hundreds of games and applications for PalmOs Handhelds.
Both Freeware and Shareware...
