Doesn't the PSP launch in the US very soon (if it hasn't already)? Surely an import from the US would be almost as immediate as getting a DS and not much different in price because of the current exchange rate? J(ohn)

Hmmm... perhaps some sort of additional switch on the back along the lines of the power switch would have been better? *cough* FLU *cough* J(ohn)

Whoah! Now that is handy! J(ohn)

I didn't put puzzlers on the list cos they tend to be quite different - big difference between PuzzleBobble and Tetris for example - and different is what I'm after. What I'm trying to avoid is filling my SMC up with a hundred identikit run n jump games, something that's apparently very easy to...

Sorry to start yet another favourite game topic. I've been through "Official Best Games For Sega Genesis" topic and tried most of the games but I was wondering if anyone has suggestions that are away from the norm... let me explain... In the last couple of days I've tried 1000+...

There does seem to be a lot of blokes that like to pretend to be women online though - strange but true. I used to sit near a moderator for a certain MMORPG and he was forever pointing out female characters that he knew were male in real life. My favourite was when he drew my attention to what...

Been playing Megadrive/Genesis a hell of a lot since DrMDv2 came out (got a new SMC just for that). Prior to that I was playing Spectrum stuff almost exclusively. J(ohn)

Probably the most well thought out and unbiased answer you'll ever hear. Might be worth pinning this or something? J(ohn)

D'oh! J(ohn)

Have you tried different dumps of the rom? Maybe the Japanese version works and the US one doesn't or something like that? J(ohn)

Probably true but that was one pretty strongly worded email to someone who doesn't speak english as his first language (so it may have seemed even stronger to him). MAME is supposed to be a community project so one would hope that they would try to avoid scaring/pissing off new contributors...

It's also worth pointing out that FLUs are not made any more so unless you are buying second-hand/off ebay you will end up with a BLU anyway. J(ohn)

Also embezzled shit-loads from the Government. There is an excellent docu on the whole affair shown on BBC4 every now and again. Well worth a watch - he was either a complete nutter one one seriously devious bloke (but probably a bit of both). J(ohn)

Can't you hot-swap smc cards? Load from one, yank it out, bung the other one in and format it. J(ohn)

Reeeellllllly badly built though. The first shipment to the US had to be completely dismantled when they arrived and then rebuilt properly before they were sent to the showrooms. Damn pretty thing though... course it would be being as it was basically a Lotus Esprit! J(ohn)

Unfortunately, to flash the firmware you need to run a little flashing fxe... which means you need freelauncher working first :( I'm sure I read instructions on how to get the cracked freelauncher working recently but I can't find it again. However, I've just pulled this from another thread...

Yup... the original firmware is a bitch. It's been a long time since I used freelauncher on mine (also a non-lit original Korean one but I've long since flashed the firmware) but what spaceboy says seems right. You register with Gamepark on the official site then download and register...

Wow! Talk about a killer app! Thank you very much sir for producing one of (if not THE) best reason to get a GP32. J(ohn)

Gamepark started making GP32 BLUs using a different supplier for the LCD screens. GP32s with the new screens are what we have been calling BLU+. The different screens require a slightly different driver and this caused some problems with emus/games... mainly the white bar and the scanline. The...

[Chuckle] Well that's probably true. Once again a mixture of alcohol and broadband have been my downfall. J(ohn)
