Cheers! I'd like to do something like this - it all hinges on whether or not I get the time to figure out how to do it :) I thought it was GP2PSX..? I must confess to being more interested in emulators for older machines than newer ones, tho, so it's not really something I know that much...

This is just the text of what I'll be saying - the slides etc. to illustrate will follow later. . . It all started in 2001 with the GP32. This was created by a Korean company, funded by the Korean government, in order to supply a small video game console to people living in a country where...

Likewise. And I *am* doing a write-up for both the web and a presentation. The GP2X is a nice bit of kit, but it's not perfect.

Hmmm... according to The GBAX review it sold over 150,000 Someone, somewhere, has the wrong number ;)

Heh. I'll remember this strategy next time I want more hits on my web page ;) Dugg! :)

Given that the GP2X is Linux-based, you're more likely to get existing Linux games ported over than GP2X-specific commercial games, IMHO..

If you can let me have a copy of the Linux tool, I'll host it on my unbricking guide. . .

It's got some very addictive games. . . I just started playing Crocodingus. That was a mistake :)

There's a few DVD ripping guides for the GP2X that tell you exactly how to turn a DVD movie into an AVI. . .

Python's easy to learn and the GP2X has pygame, might be worth a look. . .

Just something that came up in the conversation about the Gp2X being too geeky for FHM readers - it would be nice all around if the playing of emulated games could be simplified. Essentially, it revolves around making the emulation invisible to the user: Instead of loading the emulator and then...

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. . . . . . but the highest form of intellect ;) On the matter of CDs and DVDs, I find that that frustration goes away if you rip them all to your computer's hard drive, by the way :)

That's not a huge problem: The GP32's games tend to be small enough that 128MB is more than you need :)

It was a First Edition - the one with firmware that was so picky about upgrading. Hence the problem. Having used the BoB to re-flash, it's now using firmware 2.0 and is indeed much, much better. Quicker to start up, and the battery light isn't On the whole time :)

Nawa> IMHO, if you want to make emulated games easier for the average non-geek, you need to hide things from them: Instead of firing up an emulator & loading the ROM within it, you need to think up a way so that you can just select a game direct from the menu, and it automatically gets launched...

And even today, a GP32 is still a damn good buy, IMHO. I still use mine..

You're complaining that the writers of a men's mag didn't read the instructions or ask for directions??? Are you a woman in disguise or something?? :)

What's wrong with that? I can't say that I could fault anyone for saying that the GP2X is geekier than the other contenders. "You just have to download the emulator, unzip it to an SD card, download some ROMS, put them in the right folder, turn on the power, go into the emulator, go to the...

I'm booked in for late September, so I've plenty of time to spare. I'll be highlighting things like the hardware & built-in functionality too, of course, but I know about those- they're built-in :) It's the "Look what *else* you can make it do!" stuff that I really need the help with.. So, the...

So, I made the mistake of letting my local LUG know I've got a GP2X, and now they want me to do a presentation on it :) No problem there, but I'm happy to admit my ignorance about many aspects of the GP2X. I use it to play movies & Doom and the like, but I've never gotten around to using MAME...
