does anyone actually have an xgp and if so where did you get it?

also what is a better console: an xgp or a gp2x?

Ask again next year.

Nobody has an XGP.

As far as I know it hasnt come out... And it might or might not come out in the future. Only time can tell. But as of now the gp2x is a pretty good system. Very good for emulators.
 
I have an XGP...in my heart. XGP 4 LIFE! XGP 4 LIFE! Gamepark shall crush GPH's rebellion.

You are such a troll. Are you real?

I have an XGP in my vapourware jeans! :p

If you were a kitty, I'd still kill you.

What the fuck is so amazingly better about the specs of the as-yet-Vaporware XGP that makes it so impressive to you, JagMs? This is much akin to the fawning over the GP2X specs before release which turned out to be misinterpreted; e.g. suspected ease of use of the 2nd processor, confusion about hardware scaling/rotation abilities (turning out to be for the whole image rather than say, graphical surfaces-- interpretation of the MMSP2 specs though, not GP2X published docs, etc.) ... the machine, odds are, won't be exactly as announced/expected when/if it arrives.

Example. GP promises a '266 Mhz' ARM920T. Yet MagicEyes, supplier of the SoC that powers the XGP line (if it ever comes out), made it clear they had a client buying an SoC line from them with *200* MHz processors. Not 266. Odds are, they just had success overclocking them to 266-- e.g. how Craig calls the GP2X's ARM920T '240 MHz' since every unit he knows of has made it at least that far when overclocked.

The 3D accelerator? Don't expect amazement; it's a simple affair with relatively slow memory-- it'll be nice, I'm sure, to have-- but it'll still be primitive. And while it may enable pretty good PSX rendering, odds are emulation never reaches full speed due to a lack of raw CPU horsepower. It is possible to get to 60 FPS on that, but it's still a stretch. N64 emulation just plain won't happen.

So .. all your spite of the GP2X? Really misdirected. The machine is a pretty shell for an MMSP2 SoC, and the XGP is too. So if you're going to insult the GP2X .. you really just insulted them both.

Hmm... Isn't that what people said about PSX emulation on the GP2X?

It still runs terribly and probably never even nears 60 FPS, sadly. I just have to be honest here-- there is too much software rendering to do. Here, the problem isn't rendering, it's that the CPU is too much to handle. Maybe it would run ... slowly. But I doubt it'd be fast enough for you to tolerate it.
