Here is the port of gngeo to the GP2X.
Compilation from source:
# ./configure --host=arm-open2x-linux --enable-gp2x=yes --with-sdl-prefix=[Path to your gp2x SDL] --disable-sdltest
# make
With open2x, I build gngeo with the folowing commande line
# ./configure --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=arm-open2x-linux --enable-gp2x=yes --with-sdl-prefix=/opt/open2x/gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.3.6 CFLAGS=-I/opt/open2x/gcc-4.1.1-glibc-2.3.6/include
TODO: Almost everything bellow this line is outdated.
Instalation:
- Just unzip the dist in a dir call gngeo or whatever
- Put a neogeo bios unjzipped in the roms dir. You should have the folowing files:
vs-bios.rom, usa_2slt.bin, asia-s3.rom, sp-s2.sp1, sfix.sfx and 000-lo.lo
If you want to play in AES mode, you will need also aes-bios.bin
If you want to use the universal bios, you will need uni-bios.rom
- Put your favorites roms in the roms folder
- Edit the conf/gngeorc if you want.
- Optional: Install Rage2x, a nice frontend dedicated to gngeo http://archive.gp2x.de/cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi?0,0,0,0,5,1294
- If you don't use Rage2x, launch gngeo by chossing gngeo2x from the games menu.
While in the game select screen, push Y to enable sound (see the bottom of the screen)
- If you have Rage2x, just launch it ;) You can configure almost everything by pressing Select
Jostick configuration:
Quit: R and StickPush
BIOS: L and StickPush (do not work with the universal bios)

BIG ROM Support:
**** NEW ****
Gngeo 0.6.10 can now automaticaly dump the gfx file if the selected roms is to large to fit in memory.
You just have to select a game in Selector, then gngeo will create the needed gfx file and exit. Just re-launch
the game to enjoy it.
Dumping gfx is a very slooowww process, so be patient :)
Old method (still valid):
Gngeo 0.6.7 add Big roms support on the gp2x. The principe is simply to mmap a special dump file and use
it as gfx memory. This file have to be created on your box before.
I'm pleasently surprised by the result. On my modest SD, games like rbff1 are playable. A fast SD is still
recomended
Please note that newer (encrypted) roms support is very limited in gngeo. But some hacked one made for
NeoRageX work.
Here is a little tutorial to enable big rom support.
- The first things to do is to compile the dumpgfx utilitie for your platform. A version is available for linux. Help is wanted to port it on other platform (especialy MacOS & Windows)
. Untar the dumpgfx.tgz available in the source package of gngeo,
or here http://m.peponas.free.fr/gngeo/download/dumpgfx.tgz
. go to the dumpgfx dir
. Compilation is a simple "gcc *.c -o dumpgfx -lz"
- Now, Create a dump with "./dumpgfx games.zip" where games.zip is the game you want to dump.
- A .gfx should have been created
- Copy this gfx file in the gngeo's roms dir on your sdcard
- Don't forget to copy the rom too ;)
- Now you can launch the rom as usually, and enjoy.
Compatibility/issue :
- Check the wiki for a good compatibility list: http://wiki.gp2x.org/wiki/GnGeo2x
That's all folk
