Gp2x Mock-up Images


Better yet lets just say it wont happen at all and be plesently suprised rather than sitting around expecting it to. I'd really rather stick to hoping we can atleast get strong 2D emulators before we start talking about 3D focused systems like the PS, even if it's just for it's 2D games.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what home-brew games people come up with using the SDK. I personally would love to learn the basics of C and programme my very own game, alas, I still have to master PHP and MySQL before I even consider such an endeavour.

As for a PSX emulator, I really don't think there will be one for a very long time, if ever. It took years for epsxe to mature into a usable emulator and even then it still has problems with some games. Like Alpha2 said, lets just be "plesently suprised" if one comes along.

Interestingly, I've always found with PSX emulation that 2D seems more of an awkward thing for an emu to get right than 3D... and then we have the fact that a 2D picture is actually still using a full 3D engine to display a polygon, just so close to the camera as to appear entirely 2D.

Does make me wonder if some of the really simple 3D games/demos might actually be easier to pull off than 2D games.

Yeah, 3D simple demos would prob. be easier... but time will tell... ;)
