Don't feed the troll. Let's just let the thread die.

Look at some of the GP2X MAME compatibility threads to get an idea of what's possible. I'm going to make a huge assumption (based on what I read of the Wiz MMU hack) that Wiz MAME should be able to run around 50% faster on average (but not twice as fast as you might assume from the relative...

Hando can change all this if he wants. Just fix things. I'm pretty sure most of us would rather just stay here. But the board is pretty broken lately.

Good review. Personally I'm more interested in the Wiz right now. But I think Dingoo could easily eclipse it if they make a "Mark II" version with the following: - OLED screen (it's the next big thing for handheld screens) - fix that button combo problem (I forget the buttons, but you know...

This reminds me of the enmity displayed in the Zodiac days. All the accusations and suspicions are silly, and this is a small, niche community - we shouldn't be turning on each other. And seriously, Craig has been a Gamepark distributor, developer and user for years. Wiz sales aren't going...

Only good pics I've seen are renders.

Bad. :-( But I guess we can't judge what the Wiz will be like in the long term, until the devs get a chance to try the new technique from GPH that Warmfluffy mentioned. If that "fixes" tearing without a big speed hit, then it's OK and will just be one of those little quirks. But if tearing...

Is that a beta unit or final production? Also, how are the diagonals? 2D overhead shmups are usually good indicators. Reliable diagonals really can make or break a dpad to some degree. Sadly even Nintendo still gets that wrong.

Thanks for the offer. If someone wants to send me a final production unit, I would gladly write up a review with photos. I would just need a place to host it. Maybe Guyfawkes @ Emuholic, he's an old friend and they post hardware reviews sometimes Peter R. - I don't think Craig is lying. In all...

Those who know GP32Spain, Anarchy recently posted the following impression of the final production Wiz he received (translated via google): QUOTE Wiz Today I received a "final" (the production date is April 15), and has left me feeling that is unbeatable. I am absolutely amazed with the final...

How about in comparison to other handhelds? Especially those who already have a final production Wiz. Is the Wiz dpad better/same/worse than: - GBA Micro (supposed to have a great dpad, I don't own one) - DS Lite (mushy and poor diagonals) - PSP (horrible dpad IMO, but have the old 1000...

It has to have a pivot. Not even GPH would do something that dumb with a dpad. I hope... :-P I'm with the "Craig just got a bum unit" theory. Anyway - those with final production units - start posting detailed impressions ASAP. I'm still slightly on the fence with buying a Wiz right away, but...

Is that using the new method to render landscape mode (using the 3D hardware) that was discussed before? Does this mean there will always be some tearing using landscape mode? No way to completely avoid it? Or are you describing something else?

SegaSonic (the arcade Sonic game, 32bit system) and Sonic Fighters (Model 2) are based on fairly complex respective hardware. It's highly unlikely either will run well (if at all) on the Wiz using MAME. Especially the Model 2 based games - Model 2 is very powerful hardware and needs a fast...

This is a bit depressing. But I suppose it's inevitable.

I just did a search for "diagonal" and nothing came up about the dpad, just screen tearing, so here's a topic about it. For those with beta Wiz's - how good/bad is the dpad? How are the diagonals? Do you have to press extra hard for them, or are they smooth? Basically - is this a dpad that...

There's nothing bad here. Or even new. The old Gp32 had an "app store" too. Hmm, that rhymes...

Nice. Seems like a good feature to have these days. If the tearing issue has really been addressed for all practical purposes (i.e. there's a legit workaround that doesn't involve a big speed hit) then I'll get one.

Hey, you stole my translator program!
