On page 28 of the September issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly they write about the GP32! Heres what they say:
The Outsider: Meet the GP32, the Kewl Kids' Nerdy New Toy
Hardly a contender in the handheld wars (for starters, it's available only in Korea), the Game Park GP32 is nevertheless becoming an underground sensation among import-savvy gaming hipster-online import store Lik-Sang has sold more than 4,000 of these things. The big deal isn't that the system packs a heftier punch- including a larger (though, not backlit) screen, wireless networking capabilities, crisper graphics, and slicker sound-than Nintendo's GBA. Rather, people are going gaga over what the GP32 lets them do. A USB interface links the handheld to your PC, so you can transfer and listen to MP3 audio files or watch video clips. And you copyright-law-flauntin' types can download emulators and games for just about every classic console, including coin-ops and home-brew titles (the system has spawned a massive amateur-coding community). It's all stored on the upgradeable Smart Media Cards you slip in the unit. The GP32 costs $160 at www.lik-sang.com- or get a special backlit model for 70 bucks more.
Hopefully some master coder will see this article and want to code some full speed SNES and Genesis emulators for us or something.
