Re: [Prboom-users] GP2x port broken

[Super J. <ja...@su...>]

Thankyou muchly for looking. I don't know of any GP2x emulator, though I'm
happy to test on mine and post output if that's not too much bother.

I have found with a simple two-sector test PWAD it does actually launch.

With a more complex (137 sectors, 1559 sidedefs) PWAD I get a crash
apparently trying to allocate 4Gb RAM:
R_LoadTrigTables: Endianness...ok.
R_InitData: Textures Z_Malloc: Failure trying to allocate 4 228 103 872
bytes
Z_Malloc: Failure trying to allocate 4228103872 bytes

With a large megawad such as Hell Revealed it crashes with Signal 11
(segfault):
I_UpdateVideoMode: 320x240 (fullscreen)
I_SignalHandler: Exiting on signal: signal 11

I haven't contacted anyone about official porting. mongolito404 who ported
2.2.6b4 lost his sources and all interest in the project. Pickle who ported
2.5.0b appears to have been stumped by this and never released a fix, the
last contact I can see on the forums about it was in 2006, I assume he's
abandoned the project. If I can get hold of him and he's still interested,
I'll try have him add the GP2X version here.

Cheers,
Jamie
