    Blue LED case mod

    I did that with my Dreamcast (pictured; I also replaced the shell), as well as with my Atari 7800. My Jaguar's getting a purple LED mod at some point. :D

    How old are people on this board?

    I'll be 25 soon. I didn't have any video games as a kid (my folks didn't believe in them), so I had to game vicariously through others. My first system was (get this!) an original Game Boy I bought during my freshman year of high school. In college and shortly thereafter, I expanded my...

    Finally ordered the GP32...

    Hey...rom names don't have to be in any particular format, do they? Other than being 8 characters or less?

    Finally ordered the GP32...

    After a good week or two of researching the thing, I finally buckled an ordered a GP32. It should arrive in a week or two. Many thanks to all you folks for answering the many random questions that I've posted. :D Ah, playing TG16 on the road will kick ass...

    Stinkin' Newbie Needs Your Help

    Or you could be like me, and have no choice but to flash the firmware if you want to get work done. I work on a Macintosh, and there's a glitch in the GP32's USB system that interferes with it connecting properly to OS X 10.2.x, which I'm running. Our friendly neighborhood Mr Spiv has...

    Color palettes & Wind-Ups

    I'm using Photoshop, m'self. Are there any standard palettes that would work (perceptual, adaptive, selective, web snap, etc.)?

    Prospective Buyer Questions..............

    I'm going to buy a dual SmartMedia/CompactFlash reader. My camera uses CF cards, and the GP32 uses SM cards...best of both worlds. And it's only $20, so I can't complain. :D

    Color palettes & Wind-Ups

    I read on the official Wind-Ups page that if you're going to make icons and desktop images, they have to be in GIF format, 24x24 for icons, 320x240 for desktops, and they have to match the GP32's color palette. So how do I do that? Does it fit into a standard GIF palette (like 32, 64, 128...

    Durability

    Since I've never actually handled a GP32...how well put-together is the thing? Is it built fairly ruggedly, compared to a GBA for example?

    Prospective Buyer Questions..............

    I've gotta give Mr Spiv mad props--I emailed him back and forth a few times, as he's a fellow Mac user (I only use a PC at work; my home machine is a Power Mac dual G4), and he helped me out bigtime. One more thing I forgot to ask: when upgrades to Wind-Ups, etc are released, how do I install...

    Prospective Buyer Questions..............

    I've got a few questions, m'self: 1.) How easy is it to flash the firmware? I've read guides, and it seems simple enough...if I follow the guides to the letter, what's the chance I'd have a problem? I don't want to fry my unit... 2.) What are some of the best emus to use? That's the main...

    Flashing firmware using GeePee32

    I put in the default firmware, and GeePee32 runs fine; but I don't know how to load Wind-Ups into a SMC image.

    Flashing firmware using GeePee32

    I flashed it correctly, and everything worked fine, using a virtual SMC...but when I restarted, I got an "error bppmode" popup window, and I had to force quit the emulator. I want to test out Wind-Ups, PacRom, etc. before I actually buy a GP32, and I know it's been done in GeePee32 before. Did I...
