About distribution; is that Virgin as in "richard branson" Virgin (trains/planes/mobile phones and every other thing under the bloody sun)? If so god bless that crazy tycoon! This explains why Gamepark were stopping production till next year - there gearing up for the european relaunch! woohoo...
multiprocessor systems are inefficient and dont actually give twice the power. not sure if the arm9 is even designed to be used in multi processor configuration. A scalable processor like the the intelliscale would probably be more power efficient and more flexable than two arm9's anyway.
well the best game to play stoned/drunk ever has to be the dreamcast classic - Samba de Amigo (yes i know its not a GP32 game!!!). Two player maraca shaking madness replete with falling over and trying to make you opponent fall over....
And Sombreros
And Monkeys
And La Bamba
And Silly...
ok just tried again (3/12/03 7:00pm) and the korean site is now up but not the english one.
weird
Does anyone know why GP have stopped production till next year? are they going to release a slightly more powerful system, a new console entirely (GP32 II???) or are they just running down the...
a clamshell design means the unit would be probably be thicker and probably more expensive to produce. Also im just so used the the gamegear design for handhelds - ive never liked the classic gameboy/ gameboy sp style. Think about it - why are joypads roughly shaped like a...
flip top/ clamshell screens suck ass, they died on pdas for good reason - just lood at the old psions urrgg. Ok the screen is protected on a flip top but the whole thing is un ergonomic and counter-intuitive - no a decent case is the answer. The sp is horrible to use - buttons and d pad too...
well talking of stands for the desktop i actually found a guy on ebay trying to sell a stand hed cobbled together in a school workshop. It was hilarious - a wooden monstrosity painted black with gamepark stickers on the front. only thing that would have made it more rustic would be a couple of...
true you dont need more than 512mb storage if you plan to use it as a handheld/retro console emulator only (in fact 512mb would be huge)
-= however =-
If you want to be able to run PC FPS's like half life there would need to be at least a 1-2gb of storage. For example full install of valve...
like i said - dont keep up with battery technology that much. Like the idea of an OLED rather than a LCD - heard interesting things about the technology.
4GB on a CF card hmmmmm..... that'd do me nicely lol! :D :D :D :D
I agree with zayfod about spaz's button over kill!
check out my...
Good idea about li-polimer pattery but i wasn't aware they were being produced comerciallyyet? although im probably wrong - dont keep up with battery technologies much ;) .
why not have a processor with architecture similar to the athlon XP M with its power saving technology that lowers cpu...
I like your ideas rcx2100
Best of both worlds with intergrated and removable storge. I wonder how small an intergrated hd could be made whilst avoiding skipping?
USB 2 or firewire hmmmm....
GREAT idea about the replaceable batteries (kind of like e.digital's Treo 15 mp3 player).
how about...
just how tricky is the conversion process, i tried some dvd rippers before (over a year ago) and the results were not great. Is there any way to find them at the correct resolution off file sharing programs such as kazaa???
I've never used a microdrive device before (got an HD pased Xclef HD500 mp3 player) so i dont know about skipping errors ect. I suggested it cos solid state memory is limited in capacity to about 512 meg at the moment (last time i checked) and even if it were possible to get 1GB / 2 GB Cf cards...
Im looking at buying a GP32 and i was wondering - is the movie player aspect of it anyting more than a gimmick. surely a film such as lord of the rings (or even a much shorter one) would not fit the limitations of the storage medium (128mb). i mean an episode of the simpsons maybe but surely a...
too big surely? the size of ipod is small cos other components not needed. if "GP32" 2 was to use an ipod style hd the unit would be pretty hefty or the features and other components would have to be reduced. anyhoo 1gb/gb of microdrive storage is enough surely???
With all this talk of modifying the GP32, what would people really like Gamepark to build if they made a second gen GP32? Keep your suggestions real world (ie a 1gz 256mb ddr ram GP32 is never gonna happen - well not in this lifetime), and bear in mind space restrictions of the handheld format...
Forget the scumm ports (well actually dont cos they are some of the best games ever and the main reason i want to get a gp32) how cool would syndicate wars be! Classic game on a wicked console. mmmmm world domination -= drools =-
