A Jornada 720 version using the new GAPI

[roadkilldave]

Does anyone know how to gzip the pak files? What is gzip and where do you get it?<br><br>Thanks!

David, if all you need is the un-gzipped version of the demo PAK file (17 MB) you can just pull that from my site: <a href="http://burtcom.com/quake720/">http://burtcom.com/quake720/</a>

I found a version that runs from the dos prompt. I wanted to gzip my pak1.pak file because it is 18 meg.

You don't need to run it from the DOS prompt. It supports drag-n-drop. a VERY handy feature.

Question for Dan or Rob or other C++ guru<br><br>What do the following lines do in gx.h?

That problem should be answered if you look at the gx.h file included with the PQ source.  You have two place a struct def in each of those two commands because this is C.

I dropped back to the gapidemo that Larry has and am trying to get that to compile using the gamex.cpp<br><br>I got lost when I got to the section of code that was dynamically linking the dll and did not know what I needed to change there to get it working.<br><br>Thanks for the help!<br><br>PS When do you think you might have the 640 x 240 working?

[roadkilldave]

Rob did you end up using the gamex.cpp file that Larry sent you?<br>

[R0B]

Kind of, I used it as an outline, but the way he declared the functions wasn't compatible with PQ, so I rewrote all of those.

[roadkilldave]

Any chance you could email me your gx.h and also what you did to redefine those gamex.cpp externs. I am trying real hard to get the gapidemo working and am apparently too much of a newbie to figure out how to call the C stuff from C++.<br><br>Thanks!

[R0B]

You're trying too hard.  GAPI is a C++ lib and you don't need to worry about using C calls to work gapidemo.  In fact, that will probably mess you up.

[roadkilldave]

Well I got the demo going on my HP720 compiled with the HPC2000 SDK. I do have gamex.cpp in there, but I can see from your post I didn't need it. For some reason I was thinking that GAPI was in C and that I needed the gamex.cpp to use it in C++. It's appears it was needed by PocketQuake because PocketQuake is in C and it needs to call the C++ GAPI library. Well i've learned a lot but not enough to get PocketQuake compiled like you did, but I am going to keep working on it. YOU ARE THE MAN!

[Moose or Chuck]

just add "struct" infront of the two pertinent function prototypes in gx.h to make it PQ compile. Or was I not following the conversation long enough?

[Larry Bank]

Nice of you guys to tell me that you got it working...<br><br>I'm glad you did it.  Now maybe MS and HP will pull their heads out of their butts and see that the HPC platform is valid for gaming.<br><br>I have all of my arcade emulators running on the 720 - just waiting for MS to say it's OK to distribute <br><br>Larry B.
