A retro machine that didn't offer backwards compatibility would be kinda odd, no?
:huh:

PLEASE let it be as good as DrMD, PLEASE!!!!!!! And please let it come soon so I can play Seiken Densetsu 3. I will worship whoever makes an SNES emulator that's as good as Dr. MD... or even as good as OSNES9XGP without that stupid grey bar.

Yeah, it was closed, and that why they released the freelauncher app and their SDK in order to allow it to be an open console.White Demon posted on May 15 2005 at 07:54 AM said:Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the GP32 like this originally?

Also, they keep churning out those Gameparks like clockwork. And maybe they do have other business; I often wonder what this WES: Ntertainer is that they speak about on their site (not to mention the one below it that's in korean..).KickinWing posted on May 14 2005 at 11:26 AM said:GP32 2 rumor is just that a rumor. if you think about the "business" that is gamepark, they make their money from the GP32 units themselves, obviously not from software, and it's just not feesable that they are making enough money to run a business and develope a new system at the same time. They have to be getting money from somewhere else.
I always speak about it being in the type of business i am in, i can understand costs involved, the only thing is i'm comparing it to US business and i don't truely understand how Korean businesses work, but I'd imagine that they still have to pay for utilities, rent of the building and or property, employee wages, manufacturing costs, supplying costs, and other misc costs. If you take into account all these costs and compare them to the cost of the Gamepark and how many they are actually selling over the years it doesn't make sense to me that the Gamepark itself has kept the company alive so maybe the Korean military is a big part of their moneys but if not, then i can't see how its feesable Gamepark would have enough money to pay their monthly expenses as well as pay for developement/research costs of an entirely new system.
