Title: Old Ndless programs porting to CX continues with gbc4nspire & mViewer
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on December 04, 2011, 08:59:16 pm: Now that Ndless for the CX is officially possible, people who got a closed alpha-test copy have started to port their old Ndless 1.0 and 2.0 programs to the new version for newer OSes as well as the TI-nspire CX! Below, you can see a video (by Adriweb from TI-Planet (http://tiplanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=118469#p118469)) of the Game Boy Color emulator gbc4nspire (and Super Mario Bros Deluxe) running on the TI-Nspire CX:

As you can see in the video, since the CX no longer has the same blurry screen that the older models featured, this means the emulator frame rate could be upped without hurting gameplay.

There are more pictures from calc84maniac thread (http://ourl.ca/3840/268298):

Besides gbc4nspire, the image tool mViewer, which allows you to view images larger than the calculator screen (with zooming in/out and scrolling abilities) has been ported as well!

Post by: TIfanx1999 on December 04, 2011, 09:20:13 pm: I was gonna post about this, but it looks like I was beaten to the punch. :P It's really great that programs are already being ported over to the CX. Even better is that the color screen is of much higher quality. I'm very interested to see what new things the community will come out with once the new version of ndless is available. =)

Post by: Nick on December 05, 2011, 03:29:21 pm: it might be a stupid question, but will sound be supported via the gnd an thx ports of the nspire cx cas with ndless 3.0, or another port, because that would be soooo awesome :)
Title: Re: Old Ndless programs porting to CX continues with gbc4nspire & mViewer
Post by: epic7 on December 05, 2011, 03:31:42 pm: Ooh, sound. Does cx have sound?
Title: Re: Old Ndless programs porting to CX continues with gbc4nspire & mViewer
Post by: Nick on December 05, 2011, 03:49:05 pm: well, euh sound might be a big word, but you can get 'sound' with the thx and gnd pins at the backside
see topic here (http://ourl.ca/12233)

but i was wondering if it might be possible, i really don't know and now don't start hoping it will support it, cause it probably won't i think

Post by: Jim Bauwens on December 05, 2011, 06:08:52 pm: If its possible with Lua, its possible with Ndless :)
I'll probably make a music player when Ndless is out.
The quality will also be better :)

Post by: renatose on December 05, 2011, 06:13:57 pm: can it be possible without arduino? i.e. by just plugging a speaker to the right pins...
Title: Re: Old Ndless programs porting to CX continues with gbc4nspire & mViewer
Post by: Jim Bauwens on December 05, 2011, 06:17:29 pm: Yes, just check my topic nick posted :)
Title: Re: Old Ndless programs porting to CX continues with gbc4nspire & mViewer
Post by: Nick on December 05, 2011, 06:20:16 pm: that would be so cool jimbauwens, let it support mp3/wav files xp or is that a little to far? i don't know your limits xp
Title: Re: Old Ndless programs porting to CX continues with gbc4nspire & mViewer
Post by: Jim Bauwens on December 05, 2011, 06:24:19 pm: It is possible, but mp3 might not be legal (even if I code it myself).

ogg format is free and similar, might be a perfect alternative ;)

I'm imagining a world where we play nDoom in colors and with sounds :L

Post by: Nick on December 05, 2011, 07:09:49 pm: :w00t: that's real gaming world then xp and those machines are called what? calculators? as soon as ndless comes out, my npsire will be more gb then calc and will be called dixie, to the small donkey kong monkey, i used to love that game :) quite appropriate
Title: Re: Old Ndless programs porting to CX continues with gbc4nspire & mViewer
Post by: TIfanx1999 on December 05, 2011, 08:16:34 pm: I don't know why mp3 would be illegal. There shouldn't be any problem using that format.

Post by: jmgrosen on December 05, 2011, 10:47:21 pm: MP3 is patented -- see this discussion -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3#Licensing_and_patent_issues (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3#Licensing_and_patent_issues)
Title: Re: Old Ndless programs porting to CX continues with gbc4nspire & mViewer
Post by: calc84maniac on December 05, 2011, 11:02:46 pm: Well, that does say at one point,

Additionally, patent holders declined to enforce license fees on free and open source decoders, which allows many free MP3 decoders to develop.^{[citation needed]}

No one knows. It depends on its stability and when it is able to be used without, well, bugs, errors, crashes, etc.
I think...
