Puck, that's quite impressive. Seems like RAM access speed will be the main bottleneck.

No. It can vary. But many games ran at 60fps. Also don't confuse internal frame rate of a game with the video Hz rate, which is always 60Hz NTSC or 50Hz PAL.

Great info. Pretty nice battery times. At 200Mhz you'd probably get near 8 hours. And at 800Mhz probably still more than 5 hours. Not bad at all. QUESTION: does the Wiz get noticeably hot at 700Mhz - 800Mhz?

MAME supports many thousands of arcade games. So that's a loaded question. I don't know your age, but think back all the classic 80's and 90's arcade games. Those will be the ones that run best on the Wiz. Here are 10 random arcade games that always liked (top of my head) that probably would...

It would also be interesting to know the approximate battery life @ 800Mhz. Also at lower Mhz (200, 400 etc.) for those apps that don't need more cpu speed.

Congrats to German Wiz owners. Nice photos there sbock. The packaging is definitely more elaborate this time.

The Wiz has started shipping and soon (probably tomorrow) many people around here will have their shiny new Wiz! So it's time for new users to start letting everyone know their impressions. Feel free to post photos too. :-) This is basically the 3rd gen GP32, and we need some more good old...

Agreed. Especially when they're asking $30 for very old GP32 games like "Her Knights." I love that game, and I paid full price for it back in the day. But expecting people to pay $30+ for it again in 2009/2010 is just crazy. I don't even think they enhanced it much for the Wiz, if at all. Seems...

Good to hear a positive impression of the controls from you. Thanks. Fingers crossed that the tearing gets addressed in a satisfactory manner for the devs to use it.

Thing is, Exophase is the original creator of gpSP. The guy is a genius at emulation.

?! Sad to hear. I guess I'd (and others) assumed you were interested since you have a Wiz. Well, there's another reason why I'm not buying one just yet.

Not sure how you could possibly think that. I suggest you look at Game Park's history, from the GP32 to the present. They are not a "multimedia" company, nor have they ever seen themselves as one. They have always presented themselves as a Korean game hardware/software company, and still do...

DaveC... you have a Wiz already?! I really want your take on the screen tearing issue. I know you're at least as particular as me when it comes to such things. It's the one thing that really keeps me on the fence about the Wiz right now. Also - what do you think of the controls? How is the...

ED wasn't the only one who hated the dual dpads. I'm pretty sure I bitched about it as well. I'm still amazed that GPH ever thought to use that in the first place. It's mind boggling that a videogame company can be so unaware of what videogames need to play well. Whoever (ED, Craig etc.)...

Anyone tried these? How well do they run?

Does the new FW version fix anything? (i.e. the diagonal tearing)

Thanks for the article Flavor, sounds good so far. If the diagonal tearing can be effectively addressed in software (w/o too much speed hit) then we have a winner. Too bad about the new delay.

That would be really nice, one cable with both funtions.

Flavor already compiled Giana's Return for Wiz and posted a video if it running. Note this is an early unoptimized build, so it's a bit slow. http://www.gianas-return.de/?p=331 Pretty cool.

Flavor, I just posted a bunch of questions for you on your blog. :-P
