If anyone is interested in seeing the problems that my GP32 is exhibiting then click here to download a 3 minute video I've made tonight of my attempts to launch Frodo. It's over 15mb so you'll probably only want to watch it if you've got a fast connection.
Apologies for the sometimes shaky camera work but it's damn difficult to keep steady when you're trying to operate the GP32 with your other hand! You'll probably hear my four year old talking all over it too!
One particularly interesting bit is when I finally manage to get Frodo to run and the c64 startup screen appears. If you keep watching then during the course of the next minute the picture begins to flicker and gradually gets worse before the machine finally gives up altogether and resets itself.
Sometimes though I manage to get a game up and running. Tonight I was able to play "Bounty Bob Strikes Back" (what a fantastic game that was/is) for about 5 minutes before the machine died.
I'm definitely gonna have to return this machine. I hope none of you are experiencing the problems I've had!
