I've finally finished the fourth milestones of my GP2X Poker game! .

As you see it's fully themable with custom backgrounds and custom cardsets. It also features an A.I. which randomly generates 7 enemy players with different 'riskyness' and bluffing ability you'll have to beat. The rules are the most common rules found in internet poker, Limit Texas Hold'em.

This is just a first release ( of my first C++ game, by the way ), later releases will include more backgrounds, nicer cardsets and even better AI. There are also other poker variants on the to-do list like Video Poker or No Limit Hold'em. And the next release will have a highscore table secured with an algorythm so you can exchange your highscores without having to mess with those cheaters.

If you wan't to support further releases, please just draw a sweet background, test it on your gp2x and if it looks good send it to me and I'll include it in the next release.

So, have fun, give me some feedback and if you wan't to have a feature included in the next release, first look at the included to-do list and if it isn't listed there, please write it here. BTW, it may be that you win in one round with like 2000$ and in the next round your the same amount in the minus. Poker is mainly a game of luck and since the AI is generated randomly, you may face some very good players and the next time some bad players.

Cheers,
David

I've started to work on nesDS (thx loopy)

So far i've done the following:

- Added Save State save/load
- Added SRAM save/load
- Added Setting save capabilities
- FrameSkip option

The following things are being worked on:
- Fix games like double dragon 2

No way it will fit on a DVD9. Wouldnt give me a number as how big the game will be. Said he couldnt do that, and nothing is been confirmed as how big the final game will be, cause "there still making it." But went on about how Sony is pushing HD content and in no way will it be possible to fit it on a normal DVD, and BD is totally necessary for MGS4.(he kept calling it BD) I brought up compression, but he didnt seem like he liked that idea. Forgot what he said. Basically they dont want to do that. I dunno. This lead into a question about resolution.

-MGS4 will be 1080. Im assuming 1080p, but he said 1080. He said Sony is "forcing" them to do it in 1080. He hesitated when he said this. Im thinking he could not find the right word, and chose to say "forcing." But didnt really mean that. As he continued to talk about it I assumed he meant "pushing". So anotherwards Sony is really pushing for 1080p on MGS4, and he said thats what it will be.

- wouldnt reveal whos grave it is. said you will have to wait and see.

-Expect MGS4 to be in playable form next E3. He gave me a "hint" as he put it, and said to expect it to follow like all the MGS games have done in the past. In that they were always shown in playable form for the first time in the same year they were released. Which all happened to be at E3. so its releasing in 2007, so expect it at the 07 E3. I sugested TGS but this is what he told me

- still learning the PS3 A lot of things are moving along nicely, but they are also struggling with other things. Because of this he told me this is the biggest MGS team ever, and they have tons of people working on the game. Since its a next gen PS3 game. Made it seem like it was kinda hard to develope on PS3 thus far.

-Tilt controller might be used for cracking necks. I asked him about the tilt controller, and he said there testing a lot of things out. I said how I thought it would be really cool if you could crack guards necks with the controller. He laughed and sai another team member came up with the same idea, and there testing it out. He kept reiterating the fact, "ther estill making it"

Kojima has idea's about another ZOE wouldnt confirm anything. But said he thought Kojima wanted to do another one, but is busy with MGS4 right now. Didnt know wether he meant there are already plans for a next ZOE, or already has ideas for it. Whastever it is, it means will will most liekly see a ZOE3 sometime in the future.

I've had a fairly productive weekend. I've been working on a few improvements on the dynamic recompiler, and I've managed to both decrease the amount of memory it's using (by approximately 10-12%), and increase the emulator's speed (by around 7-10%).

I don't want to get into too many details just yet, as I'm planning on putting together a more detailed post with all the gory details (and a few graphs later in the week.

In a related change, I've also managed to identify and fix an issue (read 'bug') with the dynarec that may have been causing stability problems on v1.0 firmware PSPs. This may explain some of the differences in stability users of the different builds have been seeing.

-improved rombrowser

--marks roms red that are incompatible
--ability to delete roms in the rombrowser
