If you are worried that Europeans may not like you because of George W then you have nothing to worry about... If you were blissfully unaware of possible friction then that may be a differnt story ;) J(ohn)

Seeing as you are coming from the US, which is enourmous and you are all well used to travelling, I'd say it's well worth a wonder out of London (all of the UK fits in Texas remember). The south coast is excellent and is only about 1hr from London. In fact you should try to get around as much as...

...and in the distance you can hear the community gearing up for a good old fashioned lynchin'. J(ohn)

I know, I know, I know... I was just shocked that the price had dropped so much! Sorry folks... J(ohn)

Oh shit! I wish I hadn't said anything now! J(ohn)

To be honest, if I were coming at it completely fresh I'd be hard pushed to choose between: - The cheapest GP32 on GBAX £124.77 inc VAT & postage - A Zodiac 2 on MorganComputers £126.30 inc VAT & postage ...and if you go for a 166mhz guaranteed GP32 from GBAX it would actually be...

The GP32 is VERY good for emulation but whether it is good for you depends a lot on what you want to see emulated - any systems in particular? From what I hear the Zodiac is also pretty good for emulation but suffers because of it's analogue stick (not ideal when playing games designed for a...

One of the problems I've found with castaway is largely due to the game files I'm using - all of which are from Pompey Pirates or Automation (I have loads of original ST games somewhere but no idea how to get them off an ST floppy). Pompey Pirates/Automation disks have an intro screen and then...

If you are *really* keen to use the GP32 for Gameboy/Color games you should probably be warned that Gameboy emulation isn't perfect. The framerate can vary quite a bit (usually fixable by playing with the settings) and save states can get lost if you add or remove roms to your SMC. Like many...

Yeh, I've had trouble with XP and GP Manager too. I always thought it was the multi-firmware I'm running but my work around may work for the original firmware too. Try installing the 'proper' version of freelauncher then using this order: 1) Plus USB lead into PC (but not GP32) 2) Set GP32 to...

Exactly :D J(ohn)

Towards the end of the Speccy's and Your Sinclair's reign they did a top 100 games of all time, both from the reviewers point of view and as voted for by the readers. I've stuck the lists online here. Hope that helps! J(ohn)

I don't doubt for a second that Kubrick knew what he was doing ;) I think that, more than anything, it would just piss me off having read the book first and *really* liking it, particularily the conclusion. J(ohn)

I refused to watch it on general principal... Pretty much the whole point of Anthony Burgess' book was in the last chapter. When his publishers released the book in the US they weirdly decided to omit the last chapter. The film was based on the US version of the book so also did not include the...

What about if you put an mp3 in the mp3 folder? Does the mp3 player see the file? Alternatively, is this the 'cracked' version of freelauncher that you are using? If so, try downloading and registering the 'proper' version from Gamepark. J(ohn)

Ain't that the truth! I used to play any old crap game for hours on end, simply because of the investment in time loading the thing (possibly taking three attempts due to my Speccy 48k's temperamental tape player). I often find myself overwhelmed when I have a choice of 1000 roms, 998 of which...

To some extent it can be quite easy to get a GP32 with too high expectations - simply because people tend to put a positive spin on things. I got mine primarily for Spectrum and Gameboy emus, having done quite a bit of research beforehand. Even then, I've got to admit that I was a little...

It's good to see Nintendo actually putting some effort in - they've obviously been sweet talking GAME & co quite a bit :) Hopefully Nintendo will manage to give Sony's marketing bods a run for their money (nowt against Sony but the more the merrier eh?). Sony have obviously been making some...

Klax on the Lynx is the best version around. I actually had to stop myself from playing it at one point because I was losing entire weekends. Avoid Hard Drivin at all costs. It's worse than the Spectrum version which is REALLY saying something. Go here for everything you ever wanted to know...

Y'know, it's a funny old thing - different people have different reasons for playing different systems. I've probably played Spectrum games (via Speccyal K) more than anything else on my GP32 but I have barely touched Frodo. This might be because I used to have a Spectrum as a kid... but I also...
