Finally Getting A Gp32 ^_^

[markusdragon]

Well, it's taken me 8 long hard months. I've tried saving money (not good, i'm too spendthrift), earning the money (even worse, I'm lazy), earning it from good AS level results (worst yet, I needed two As, I got an A, 2 Bs and a C), and I've even tried forgetting about the damned thing and convincing myself I want a less obscure, less imported handheld, like a GBA (then they announced the DS >_>), but finally I managed to get the parental units to buy me one for Christmas.

But anyways, I really need to know whether the LikSang ones can be trusted, or whether I should go modded, only the £50 extra for a modded one just doesn't seem worth it, I don't have that much. What will I lose out on if I have an unmodded one?

 

[kuriboh]

One word: No. I personaly think it doesn't matter, from what I've heard. glad u are finaly going to get a gp32. u will be very happy.

Good for you bro. Even with the DS and PSP on the horizon I still think the GP32 is a great choice for a certain type of gamer. I got mine from Lik Sang in April and I was happy with their service; the delivery wasn't what I'd call swift but I didn't encour any tax charges so I saved myself quite a few pannies, although you'll find some on these boards without such happy stories to tell.

And unless you want to play SNES games at full speed w/sound I wouldn't bother with a modded unit. My 156Mhz unit does me fine.

I finally bought my GP32, its a FLU, perfect condition, has had both the 166mhz voltage mod and the glass screen replacement mod, includes the GP32<->PC cable, a high speed SMC reader/writer, a 128 MB SMC and a power adapater to plug it into the wall.... I got it all for $100


hehehehehe....yay!

Craigix: Buy from GBAX

Drumaster and Aquafish: NO! Where's Yoyo?!?!

Jr2Swiss in the background: Buy from gp32z. It even has gp32 in the name.

Definately a BLU. Unlit screens just aren't a feasable idea for the true obsessive anymore, and my experience of front lighting is that it's a little dodgy.

And unless you want to play SNES games at full speed w/sound I wouldn't bother with a modded unit

I guess SNES games was one of the reasons I'd go for a better CPU, but then, its not like i don't know the entire Chrono Trigger Soundtrack off by heart, so myeh.

 

[worldwriter]

perhaps no one heard me....
GP32 FLU, 'like new' condition, modded by MashMods to go atleast
166mhz, also modded with a new Glass Screen (the old plastic ones are
blurry and scratch easy, this glass one is crystal clear and it takes
a lot of effort to scratch glass)

A 128MB SMC, with a SanDisk USB HighSpeed SMC Reader/Writer, a GP32
<-> PC cable, and a Universal Power Adapter so you dont have to drain
your batteries to play the SNES emu at 166mhz It has the Euro
firmware on it (the firmware the BLU comes with)


and it's all mine for $100 american!!!!

 

[tekt5]

Yes definatly if your in the US go for GP32z.com
I just got mine from their a little over a week ago
with a 166 mod and a glass screen mod w/ a free game all
for only $21 more than a normal one. Plus the BLU's screen is..

AMAZING!!!!

of course I can only compare it to a non-lit gba :lol:

and it's all mine for $100 american!!!!smile.gifsmile.gifsmile.gifsmile.gifsmile.gif

That is a good deal. I couldn't stand the washed out FLU screen myself but I am picky.

What?! :blink:
It was the 1st thing I did.

It was the 1st thing I got working. I was anticipating to see movies on it
ever since I'd heard of the gp32.

 

[Linkinparkfov101]

Guys i went to gp32 z. I Saw that they had a paint mod availble for 20 bucks. That would be so awesome to have a black gp32. Dose any one have theres in black and are they willing to take a highquality picture and show it to us?? Prob not

Oh and where the hell did u get the gp32 loaded with all that shit for 100 dollers. Dont say ebay because if any resonable person saw there gp32 with all that shit going for 100 dollers theyd retract the bids and start the auction all over again........................

 

[worldwriter]

Linkin...I bought it here in market place... lol go check it out.... done and done....you probably should watch marketplace section closer.... jr2swiss gets all the good deals and you guys wonder where all the cheap gp32s are...lol

 

[finraziel]

Bought two from liksang myself.
Both took about 9 days to arrive (from japan to the netherlands), no added importtax so I'm happy . They go 160 and 166 mhz (unfortunately the faster one is my friend's lol )
