So, I've been reading those forums now for quite a while, and I'm not really sure about I should buy one of those great toys or not. I hope you could answer some of my questions regarding the usabillity of the gp2x.
I've read that there is a very good Genesis/Master System/Game Gear Emulator around here ( DrMDx and AlexKidd or something like that ) but what's that 'very good' exactly? Is that good considering that the gp2x is a handheld and that it can emulate those devices or is it a 'very good' for a user that just wants to play some retro games? And the music isn't so important, if it can run fullspeed without music, I'll play without it.
And I also read about the Nes-Emulators, it looks like there are some new ones coming up in the last time, fishyNES and Gpfce, but are they already running at fullspeed? I mean, there were a problem with nes emus I think for a time, but there is also a SNES-Emu around, that plays around 30 fps, so a good NES emulation should be possible..
The GBX-Emu, how well are the GB and GBC games running? Again, by the view of a gamer, not someone who just totally freaks out if he just can see the GB-Logo on the gp2x, even if it is running at 2fps.
And the Jazz Jackrabbit interpreter, is it still under development or is it cancelled?
And is there something like a line for the MAME emu where the games aren't running well? I mean, is it possible to say, all the games befor 1990 are running fullspeed or something?
And for the final question, I've programmed some games in Basic and Flash ( Don't laugh
) because I prefered not having to mess around with the graphics to much. So, what is the better language to start developping for the gp2x; Fenix, C++ or Phyton? BTW, I'm running a Mac.
Thanks a lot for reading and maybe answering my question and please forgive my english, I'm Swiss and still a student.
Cheers, David
Edit: Oh, and what's the best shop to order one to the swiss? The one from EvilDragon?
