All these articles are based on misreading this press release.
A Zodiac 2 can now be picked up for less than a GP32 BLU, you can get them in the region of £99-£139. I got mine recently and I love it. It's basically a GP32 with better looks
...And crappy emulator controls with that sloppy analog. If that could be modded out somehow it would be much better. As it is I found ,when I had mine, many emulated games were close to being unplayable.
You're the one who said you can't play games on it, I can play them perfectly. In fact, the zod stick is much better because it doesn't make that bloody clicking sound.DaveC posted on May 8 2005 at 06:24 PM said:Ok so you are saying that it is more important to have a case that looks cool rather than being able to actually play games on it :rolleyes:
I will take better control over a pretty case anyday.
Because they're better.And why is it that as soon as GP32 users buy Zodiacs they become instant Zodiac fanboys?

ill give you a tip defending the Z on these boards is suicide
But that´s what fanboys like you are supposed to be, aren´t they?
However, what´s your point? In what way can a modern gaming system as such be "retro"? I´ll tell you: in none. "retro" isn´t a piece of hardware or a design/style. Maybe some "retroness" can be achieved through the avaiability of emulators, but that´s a whole different matter.
As for the analogue stick of the Zod: I like it, just as i like the analogue stick of my PC gamepad which i use in ALL emulators i run on my PC. It´s simply a matter of taste, and as anybody (except fanboys) knows, such matters cannot be discussed.
Furter on, this thread wasn´t supposed to be a Zodiac vs. GP32 battle, but thanks to you fanboys we´re having this battle running right now, so i would recommend you to check your facts before posting something stupid, like Vimacs did (lol... :lol: how many years have passed sice the signing system was cracked :lol: ).

OMG, seems like i have flamed the wrong person sorry for that. I was just upset that some people (always the same, tiresome bunch) turned this into a anti Zod flamefest (just because the Zodiac was mentioned), then there come the Zod fanboys and can´t help to brag about some features the GP doesn´t have and ZOMG we have another senseless discussion...sensible GP32 posted on May 9 2005 at 12:50 AM said:my god you totally mist my point here dint'cha, yer bum its becuase of the gp fanboyism on this site that i said it was suicide, i dont have any preference i think the Z vs gp battles are lame and over.

I just sold it because I didnt use it enough and could get alot of money for it at that time.
I personally found the controls fine for emulation. Its just like using an Xbox analogue stick to play SNES with. Fine for me, but obviously not for some fussy people.
