I am totally amazed by the nintendo Wii. This ist definitely the next console I will be buying. No reason for me as the occasional player to get a 360 or PS3. Check out the videos at IGN and you will know what I mean.

I had to send my GP2X back to ED. It will get a new stick cap and a general refreshment. I really can't wait to get it back!

You need another gether driver. Fetch it here : gether.o replace your existing gether.o (firmware 2.0) with the following command in sterm (the new gether.o needs to be in the root of your sd-card):

cp /mnt/sd/g_ether.o /lib/modules/2.4.25/kernel/drivers/usb/gadget/g_ether.o

That should do the trick. After connecting the GP2X and starting networking through the menu you will se that the Mac OS X Network-preferences already detected the new device. Yust configure it and you are ready to go. This is based on a post by woogal

Here's a screenshot of the new supercool feature in action - Lua Robots. Each level-folder now has a file called robots.lua, which describes the behaviour of moved objects in the level. It is far from finished yet, but already looking very cool - Lua is a very easy to learn though powerfull language which should enable almost everyone to write their own robots in no time.

The StarTrucker release has been postponed, because I am working on a very cool feature, that I really want to include before version 1.0 is released:

function initBot()
print ("I am da Bot!");
return "sprite1.png", "sprite2.png";
end

Gamecube and Dreamcast developement...

During the few Hours I was not visiting my Family or eating the last three days I investigated a little about developing for GameCube and Dreamcast, as I would love to port StarTrucker (and my new Ultra-Secret Game-Project) to those platforms. SDL is not available for the GameCube right now (at least not without linux), but I have a working toolchain and already compiled a "Hello World!". The Gamecube-Port is dead though, due to the lack of an SDL port.

Dreamcast semms to be a lot mor promising, if only I could get a toolchain working on my Mac. All Information on the Web seems to be outdated and incomplete. If anyone could get me started, please...
