And the same look I get when people ask "Is that an ipod?" when I'm listening to my zen micro
Same thing with my *i have yet to find better* iRiver H140.

That is truth. But it is just not funny enough to be discussed hereI think what everyone is just trying to do, is justify the 200$+ dollars they spent on either system.
PSP can handle windows 95... i would like to see that for the gp2x...
Actually it permits developers to use the volume button as a control button, for example when playing a vertical shmup ...The volume control is a joke, it's down to each application to respond to the volume input, not a system-wide volume thing like, erm, every other handheld.

This obviously demonstrates you miss the point here, and that you're just not smart enough to own a gp2x
I'm not sure to understand you ? In fact, each time i tried to use the volume button it worked as it was supposed to work from a user point of view (ie at least it works with mame, DrMD, mp3 player and video player), so i don't even wondered how it was working ?Are you really telling me that when you first saw the gp2x you expected hte volume button to work in the way it does and thought it was a good idea? If you say yes then you're the one that needs to lookup "smart" in the dictionary
That is actually something that people wanted to be used by the programmer. It is. If you want proof I can find some posts from 8 or so months ago.Actually it permits developers to use the volume button as a control button, for example when playing a vertical shmup ...The volume control is a joke, it's down to each application to respond to the volume input, not a system-wide volume thing like, erm, every other handheld.

Dont you just love fanboys who'll argue against what everyone would expect just because they're fanboys

To be honest I noticed that first time I played with DrMD but it didn't surprised me at allWell to use MAME + DrMD as examples, you load up a game, you change the volume, fine, then you load up another game, and the volume has reset itself. This is not typical behaviour and if we're honest, not the kinda of behaviour anyone would expect.
thought I'd stick my oar into this pointless debate![]()
most of the hardware quality features vs price thing balances out pretty well between the two.
it all comes down to whether you want to play:
a. wipeout and gta, etc. - get a psp
or...
b. noiz2sa and gauntlet (and nebulus and...) - get a gp2x
plus there's the issue of open platform or not. you've got the choice of:
a. kick-ass commercial games (at commercial prices) with super-whizzy graphics - get a psp
b. lots of freeware (lower quality and more hassle to setup, but it's free!), plus the ability for you to easily write your own code - get a gp2x.
personally I don't understand people who have a 'brand loyalty' thing going on. I'd love to have both (I DO like wipeout!), but can't really justify the cost![]()
so I'll just stick with my shiny gp2x as I'd rather take the b. options above
Actually I agree with you on this, I had totally forgotten about this problem. I doubt it will be long before we see a someone hack a potentiometer onto the sound rails. I do like the buttons where they are though. They should've just used analog volume control and put buttons in the digital controls placeDigital volume control is shit.
They should've put utility buttons in place of the volume control (if they wanted buttons there), and added an analog volume potmeter on the side.
Problem is the PSP runs emulators AND commercial games, gp2x runs emulators AND more freeware/open source stuff.thought I'd stick my oar into this pointless debate![]()
