Guest TooMuch2AM Posted March 28, 2003 Report Posted March 28, 2003 Found this and had to share: http://www.gbax.com/gp32review.html It's a handheld games console that is open source. So far it emulates: SNES, Sega, NES, PC Engine, ZX Spectrum, Commodore, MSX, GBA I am SO tempted to buy one, currently £100... M
Guest SirGaz Posted March 28, 2003 Report Posted March 28, 2003 One word - Wow :shock: Now three words - I want one
Guest chewie Posted March 28, 2003 Report Posted March 28, 2003 Looks pretty damn good, but they are gonna have to do a hell of a lot of marketing if they want a slice of the handheld gaming market. Sega what? Atari who? Ahhh Nintendo Gameboy :lol:
Guest TooMuch2AM Posted March 28, 2003 Report Posted March 28, 2003 Well truth be known, is anyone actually going to buy it for it's 'native' games or for it's emulation/media capabilities? I for one would buy one because of it's open source nature, there's even talk of someone porting linux to it!
Guest Syvwlch Posted March 28, 2003 Report Posted March 28, 2003 I want the same thing with a Compact Flash Type 2 port... SMCs suck big time. But that IS cool!
Guest midnight Posted March 28, 2003 Report Posted March 28, 2003 heh, if it had sd cards it would be even better, you could use the same stuff on your phone as on the handheld console (gb games, movie files, music etc)
Guest yatpeak Posted March 29, 2003 Report Posted March 29, 2003 Wow! It's amazing though, when you think that it emulates so many consoles, and only needs about 6 buttons, where the more recent consoles have around a dozen, including one and sometimes two analog sticks. Wyatt
Guest meaks Posted March 31, 2003 Report Posted March 31, 2003 Anyone bought one of these? I'm probably gonna sell my gba and get one. Reckon its worth it?
Guest Gorskar Posted April 4, 2003 Report Posted April 4, 2003 I recon so - if u get one fo thoses flash reader thingies for GBA advance you can copy your carts to the PC, and then onto the device to play on its GBA emulator. Why bother keeping your GBA then :lol:
Guest yatpeak Posted April 4, 2003 Report Posted April 4, 2003 What's wrong with SMCs? I've never used one, but what do people have against them? Thanks, Wyatt
Guest spacemonkey Posted April 4, 2003 Report Posted April 4, 2003 WARNING FOR SELL YOUR GBA AND BUY GP32 people The GP32 runs on an arm processor clocked fairly similar to our phone. Although it has less OS cluttering it up, the performance is supposed to be slow on SNES and GBA emulation (last I read). They're supposed to have good speed for everything else. So don't expect it to sort all you GBA needs just yet.
