Why is such a simple thing like a joypad so complicated? Isn't that against the idea of good engineering (that the simplest solution is best)?

If both systems were selling for the same price anyone would take the wiz, but extra tech usually costs extra money. I think a better question might be: If you could pick up a used Wiz for $100 or a brand new Dingoo for $100, which would you buy? I would get the wiz as long as it was in good...

Doesn't linux already have a suspend to disk function? Why would that have to be recreated?

On a standard NEOGEO the soundtrack is usually generated, but on the neogeo cd, the sound is pre-recorded as standard cd-audio which is about 10MB/s. So on the cartridge version the soundtrack is stored as notes which then generate the sound but the cd version is simply playing back pre-recorded...

I was watching them earlier this year (late winter-spring) and they were going for around 50 in great condition with an sd card. It could have been that the market was flooded with them at the time due to the wiz coming out and people were selling their GP2X for a Wiz.

According to the linked article, flash memory prices are on the rise... What is the reason for this? Is it just our good friend inflation (govs printing money), or is there some technical hurdles reeling their ugly heads?

You can get these in mint condition for less than that. Unfortunately, they have not retained any value. With all the problems this has, I would be surprised if you got 25 for it (if you included an sd card). Chris

It's actually even better than that since the snes/genesis roms max out at 4mb and the majority of games are 2mb and down. When you add compression to the mix the rom size goes down maybe 3/4 of the original size so that even the 4mb roms usually drop to 3mb after being zipped and the 2s go down...

Since apparently nobody knows if it will be updated, can anyone reccomend a better way to watch youtube videos on a gp2x? I know there is a piece of software in the archive, but some of the videos lock up (or go out of sync) when I try to play them when using that software. Is there a faq for...

I have posted on this issue twice and the answers I got or didn't get point to No amiga emulator even if there was one, it would be too slow because of the lack of a highly optimized core. Chris

If you primarily want a media device and Internet surfing, I would get the ipod, but for gaming, you will be very disappointed in an ipod touch. No matter what anyone says here, the iPod will be better at surfing the Internet because safari just blows anything else away and with all the iapps...

DOS is awesome and I still do much of my file management and networking from a dos prompt. I really miss dos, it's a shame we are stuck with windows. We should be using dos 10 with windows 7 still launching from the dos prompt! That may be getting a bit carried away, but the best thing about dos...

Youtube must have made a change because this great software no longer works. Any chance of a new version?

Can anyone add multiple lives and the ability to get extra's? It's frustrating playing a game with 1 life, no extras and no continues. It takes so much away from an otherwise great puzzle game, especially for a freeware remake. Chris

Does it work under dosbox? T2k was released for dos, but TBO, I don't remember the hardware requirements though I do remember it ran under dos and wasn't a win 95 game.

It seems to me that neither the wiz nor the Dingoo bring anything new from the gp2x and that might be why there isn't a slew of new stuff. From my odd browsing of the wiz software, much of the popular gp2x stuff has been ported over, but what new killer stuff can come out for it? At least with...

Sega made the same mistake with Saturn as it did with 32x in this regard. The dreamcast was a pretty well made system and had great games, I don't why they dropped at the time they did. It was the first 3d system with decent graphics (in my opinion). Chris

The only thing I would worry about with this is things like mame saving hi-scores and junk like that. I have smc's that are better than 10 years old that still work fine with a pretty good deal of writing to them, but they do eventually start giving errors. That is almost CERTAINLY not the...

Even on the gp2x hucard games can be played at 150mhz! Temper and Picodrive are probably the 2 most polished emulators for the gp2x/wiz (Not that others aren't good or appreciated)

It would definitely be nice to get a new version for the gp2x.
