Hello,
Recently on a business trip I was reading the holiday edition of PC Gamer and had noticed the GP2x Wiz device, which pretty much sounded cool that I could relive some of my favorite games from yester year.
After receiving the device and installing my SDHC card I started searching the Internet for various Emulators and ROMS. I started by downloading various Emulators and Roms including: MAME, AMIGA, C64, and DOSBOX. However when I unzipped these onto the SD card and tried launching the emulator then for some reason I could not launch them. Basically it looked like I was navigating thru folders and in some folders it did not display any files other than the root. Needless to say I am not sure if the emualtors on other websites works for the WIZ or if I have to utilize emulators strictly for the WIZ.
Early today I was able to download and install a AMIGA emulator from the official WIZ site (the one that I was referred by thinkgeek) and was able to launch the emulator and the ROM but the game (Airborne Ranger) would stay at the menu and no matter what button I pushed it would not leave the menu or start? I did notice that certain buttons I pushed would display the ESC key on the keyboard or a mouse and joystick but again being new was unsure on how to proceed. BTW I did try pushing all buttons.
This device for all purposes sounds cool but the lack of documentation is bad for newbies such as myself. I would appreciate any advice or assistance.
Thanks very much and Happy Thanksgiving.
