I always dreamed with a portable thing for play my retromusic stuff. Now with an UADE port to GP2X (built-in into OldPlay) it's possible!

If could be quite NICE if UADE developers helps him for improving the UADE port for GP2X/OldPlay and including it into the UADE codebase.

[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GP2X]GP2X[/url] is a linux-based PMP(portable media player)/video game system. It has a great scene and of of the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GP32]GP32[/url]  homebrew developers are developing for this new system.

Here is the readme quoted...

OLDPLAY V0.8
------------
OldPlay is a music player that uses libsidplay1, modplug and UADE
to play a multitude of classic music formats.

Sids are played using libsidplay1 (resid wouldnt work on gp2x) and
so filter emulation is far from perfect.

Amiga formats uses UADE, which is based on UAE (The Amiga Emulator)
and Eagleplayer. It takes quite a lot of CPU so the equalizer is
automatically turned off when playing amiga formats. However, if
you want to avoid stuttering on TFMX and other songs that require
a bit more CPU, you can try overclocking (~250 should do it).

Oldplay also uses libzip to look inside zipfiles (which is almost
a requirement when playing from HVSC).

INSTALL
-------

Copy the files inside GP2X to your flashcard. Also copy the music
directory for some example music.

There are two windows versions inside the Windows directory. One
looks like the GP2X version and the other uses a larger theme
(the Oldplay GUI is rather dynamic, but you cant change that 
much without the sourcecode yet). You also need the files
inside the gp2x directory, otherwise UADE wont work.

FORMATS
-------
Too many to list; In theory everything that modlug and eagleplayer
supports. Some notes however;

- There still some issues with modplug on GP2X. For instance, XM
and Oktalyzer doesnt play (but ImpulseTracker does).

- Amiga formats requiring fasthack doesnt play currently.

KEYS
----

GP2X    Win      Action
......  .......  .......................... 
Vol     F1/F2    Volume
Stick   F1/F3    Stereo Mix
Start   SPACE    Pause
Joy     Cursor   Navigate &amp; Subsongs
B       ENTER    Play, Enter dir or zipfile
X       BSPACE   Parent
Y       PGUP     Page Up
A       PGDN     Page Down
Sel     ESC      Quit

BUGS
----

- Sometimes the sound fails to initialize. The player runs without
reporting this, but you cant hear anything.

TODO
----

- Playlists
- libmad (MP3) plugin
- Amiga emulation optimization (hopefully)
- Themes

SOURCECODE
----------

...will come along shortly.
