i'm not a coder anymore November 29th 2004, trace
At bcnparty'100 I decided to buy a gp32, there was an stand there where you could buy a lot of stuff for it so I eventually got one.

I was so happy to have it, with one you can play mp3, ogg, mods (mod, xm, it), use emulators (mega drive, super nintendo, amstrad...) play some ported games (doom, quake,..) and whatever you want. That's a fresources platform, there is not a company like nintendo or sega behind, you can develop your own tools for it, you got everything that you need for it and a lot of libraries ported as well.

Sounds great uh? sounds as great as I tried to code things for it as well, with some Sole's help I installed an already configured setup, I did the very first program, with the typical bouncing pixel, also I did an spiral and those sort of things (with SDL library), then I understood how .lib's and .h's works. And all that. Perhaps the problem was to try to use SDL, perhaps the freedev configured wasn't properly configured, but I wasn't able to make the gp32 play a mod or so. I was dissapointed with all that. So I'll forget about to do something in C or C++, let's focus in one field please!! ;)

But well, perhaps I'll try once again with another IDE and without SDL or something.
