    Looking For Lite Alternative To Pandora or good tablet

    Is there a 'lite' alternative to the Pandora out there? Something that's got a decent web browser and boots quickly but is smaller than a netbook? I'm mostly interested in it for web browsing and general fiddling with so I'm not bothered about gaming controls etc. I have been pondering buying...

    Boo

    I know the GP32 section of the forum doesn't get much going on in it any more but it still seems wrong that the device that started the whole thing off is now relegated to the bottom of the "Other OpenSource Handhelds" section. So BOO!! to inevitable but sad changes and YEH!! to the GP32 -...

    Worst Average Posts Per Day Record?

    Okay, so I lurked on this board for about 6 months before joining and posting and then after a while decided I had nothing interesting to say and went back to lurking. I just noticed that I have a fantastically low average posts per day rating - just 0.16. Is this the record for longest...

    Fnes32

    It's been a while but I thought I'd dust off my trusty GP32 and enjoy some of that retro gaming emulated goodness... and lo the SMC is corrupt! So I am now re-installing everything and have got to fNES32. Or more to the point, I haven't, because I can't find it anywhere. I am sure I used to...

    Cards Larger Than 128mb…

    Having trawled through a million threads trying to find a definitive and simple answer to whether the GP32 will ever be able to use cards larger than 128mb (for use on my GPAnswers website), I’ve been left wondering something similar. The answer seems to be a resounding no because it would...

    Gp32 Newbie Website

    For quite a while I have been thinking of putting together a GP32 Newbie website. The FAQs on this board often go into a lot of detail and offer no definitive answer while the Search function can turn up a hundred results to wade through. The recent glut of newbie questions and usual reaction to...

    "different" Genesis/megadrive Games

    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+...

    Alternative To Gp32

    It seems I love my GP32 too much... I use it at home and when going away for a few days but I like the thing too much to just throw it in the bottom of my bag and take everywhere. So what I'm after is a cheap alternative that I wouldn't mind if it got scratched/dropped/stolen. At the same time...

    View New Posts Acting Funny?

    I'm one of those that just hits the 'View New Posts' link when I visit this board as it's a damn easy way of keeping track of new stuff. However, recently it's started acting a bit odd. Quite often threads are listed that I have already read from top to bottom BUT not all of them - just some...

    Xbox Or Media Box Pc?

    I am about to move into a new flat and had planned on getting a small media-box pc (running Linux) to go under the tv in the siting room. The idea was that it would be permenantly turned on and use the tv as it's screen. I would use it for downloads, watching divX movies, playing emulated games...

    Director Sources Convertible?

    This may be a really dumb question but just how hard would it be to convert source code for games written using Macromedia Director (lingo) to C with a view to using it on the gp32_console ? I have written a few things using lingo and I am aware that it is much more simple than C but the basic...

    Locations And Languages

    Any chance we could make the 'location' field of the user details compulsory? This may seem like a strange request but I am sick of seeing people getting flamed for improper use of english. It hardly seems fair having a pop at someone for their use of grammar when they may only speak english as...

    Know Of A Batch Zip Utility?

    Anyone know of a utility that can do a batch zipping of files in a folder? Say I had a folder with 100 jpegs in it, I'd like to be able to run a utility that would create 100 zip files - one for each jpeg. If I could set the utility to truncate the filenames down to 8.3 that would be even...

    Gametrac/gizmondo

    I read on teletext today that the Gametrac is going to get a UK release this summer exclusively in Toys R Us stores. Toys R Us is hardly the place that people wanting an alternative to a GBA go to and I also don't see them as the kind of place that'll keep pushing a system with poor sales. If...

    Vorton - It's Highway Encounter!

    I was a big fan of Highway Encounter of the Spectrum back in the day and so was well chuffed when I found a version for the GP32 called Vorton. However, I can't get the thing working - it just hangs at the bit where it pre-renders the levels. I'm using MultiFW, is this the problem? Anyone had...

    16 Bit Emus On Dreamcast

    With all the fun I have been having playing with my GP32 I had totally forgotten that I have a Dreamcast in the cupboard gathering dust. I downloaded SNES and Megadrive emus for it ages ago but they were pretty ropey. Does anyone know is there are any full speed SNES or Megadrive (aka Genesis)...

    Platform construction kit?

    There seems to be a lot of people out there who are keen to start programming for the GP32 (going off the number of posts from people asking how to get started) and this got me thinking about some kind of 'construction kit'. Shoot em up construction kit for the ST was excellent - where people...

    Carry Case

    I dunno whether I should have stuck this in 'Marketplace' but I just nipped in Curries and spotted a GBA carrycase for £2.99. It looked about the right size for the GP32 so I gambled £3 and got it - fits perfectly! So if any of you UK folk fancy getting a piss cheap carrycase it's called a...

    Where Gamepark have gone wrong

    I can't help but wonder how the GP32's fortunes may have run if, shortly after launch, Gamepark had employed a programmer full-time to write a GBA or SNES or Megadrive emulator - in assembly. It would take what, 6 months, to come up with a pretty good version? I doubt Nintendo/Sega would be too...
