You could search for elite in the forum, there are quite a few threads about it. I thought the NES elite version was pretty good (not played it myself)

I don't think NES Elite works properly in any of the GP2X emulators. It was perfect on the GP32 though.

You could try it in beebem - if you come up with a decent keyboard set up, please post it...
 
Back when I had an Amiga, people raved about this game (and it's sequel, Frontier) Never played it myself but i suggest going for the adf version!
 
Elite was released on the BBC micro, Spectrum, C 64 and Atari St. So you should be able to run one of the emu's with it loaded in. Atari ST version is good.

Not true. Gpfce runs NES Elite perfectly. I don't think notaz would have had it any other way.

I stand corrected - the NES version is definitely the easiest to play on a handheld because it's already set up to use a d-pad. Ian Bell has said it's the best emulatable (?) version too...
 
I belive the GBA version (Elite - A New Kind) is the best one. It uses a very similar control scheme to the NES but looks better and plays like the BBC original.
There is also Elite AGB for the GBA. This is an enhanced version of Elite with lots of new ships, weapons, missions, etc and is also very good but is quite hard.
Both of these GBA remakes were done by Quirky.

If you don't want to go down the GBA route then NES is the next best option for a handheld. It is a bit easier than the original Elite and you can pay to dock if you don't have a docking computer. It is difficult to use any of the home computer versions of Elite on the GP2x due to the huge number of keys required to play the game.
 
Shame that the Arch emu isnt working properly, as the Archemedies version is by far the most feature filled version. Would be cool to play Elite Frontier on the amiga emu though :)
 
cheers people. hopefully can get something working. bit new to gp2x so no doubt will ass it up :unsure:
