Ezxmame [Version 0.5]

[epinter]

Here is EZXmame 0.5 !!! It's based on xmame.SDL 0.104. It's a bit slow, and sound it's not so good...

Buttons:
GAME A: BUTTON1
GAME B: BUTTON2
VOLUP: BUTTON3
VOLDOWN: PAUSE
CAMERA: EXIT
PICKUP: START
HANGUP: SELECT

Roms must be placed in /mmc/mmca1/games/EZXmame in .zip format.
Must be installed on SD, uses 40MB of space. Some games may need swap.

Have fun !

it is using floating point code? if it is, you have to port it to fixed point arithmetics to get a better speed. Memory load contributes to slow down, because of the low memory disponible in the phone(ezx things consume lots of memory)

[epinter]

my first objective was make it run ... Now, with the help of more experienced developers I can improve it ...

Thanks for the tip...

maybe u want to take a look here, i have compiled xmame.SDL from the site and it gives faster speed (~ 15-20fps)

what the difference between the source from x.mame.net ? The xmame.SDL 0.77 is faster than 0.104 ? Is a modified code for zaurus ?

thanks, intoxicated ...

I have compiled xmame.SDL 0.77 from the posted link. No performance gain ...
Looking inside the files from source (xmame-0.77.1.src.tar.gz), I see that SDL.c have modifications to disable centering screen and ajust some video modes. The file arm.c has one variable with name changed ... I don't think that this modifications give more speed ... What the version of SDL you tried with xmame.SDL ? I'm using SDL from alebm ...

When I was installing the mp3player.mpkg, it didn't prompt any message on where I want to install it (Phone memory or SD). So, how can I choose the path that I want to install .mpkg files?

[epinter]

You can enable the native mpkg installer changing flexbits on /usr/setup or using a pre-made CG36 (sandman have one for E680i ABP).
If you don't want to flash your phone (it's my case, I have A6P with modified CG36 by myself) you can learn about flexbits and create your own CG36.

Could anyone make a NEO package of this program, please? I think it is the better way, isn't it?

Thanks epinter, btw!

Hi epinter. I finally created a NEO-package of your application and succesfully installed on my E680i! Good job, man! If somebody makes it running faster, it will be perfect! Thanks!
