Zodiac is a shitty little palm system with awkward controls.

The GP32 is still the gamer's toy.
Could you make your rant a little shorter? Would you prefer a P1 to a P2? Is "cancelled" written all over the place just not a big enough sign of an ending?

Yes, the GP32 is dead. I shouldn't have used a Super Nintendo adapter with it, sure, but the unit just screamed "SUPER POWER!". Kidding.

For most people, the GP32 represents a small niche market in handheld gaming. I don't see any consoles yet threatening that emulator/homebrew appeal of the Gamepark, but of course it won't last forever. Sure the "most powerful console" status will fall very soon if it hasn't already, but does anybody care?

No, the only thing that has a chance of killing the GP32 are posts that say "The GP32 is not dead!" How attractive for potential buyers! I'm kidding again.
 
i was worried about the zodiac abit...(tony hawk look's cool on it)
200mhz processer..(need's 33mhz to run the os..leaving 167mhz to run program's..(not to sure on this...just what i read somwhere))
32mb/128mb of ram...and big buck for the privalige.


now lookin' at thunderz non-licenend 3-d engine....
it will take the zodaic's homebrew programmer's a few year's to get that good....
we will get a full speed snes emu with sound....before they do....
with fmame32 on the way...(soon,maybee a week or two away)....

so to all those people who say the gp32's dead....
F#$% YOU ALL...!!!!!(that's all folk's)
 
Did you all know there is still a very active Atari 2600 community? Yes, the Atari 2600, the home gaming system that came out in 1977, 26 years ago. There are still people coding new games for it all the time. AtariAge has really active forums and lots of people coding for, collecting for and discussing the Atari.

Any talk about the GP32's death is just a wee-bit premature.
 
After reading this everyone should stop worrying about the gp32s dead
and START worrying that they won't be alive when the gp32 is just getting in an adult age!! :D

I live in Europe (Germany). After reading about the release being cancelled not much changed for me.
I STILL know that the gp is an absolte cool machine!
I STILL know that there will be homemade progs for it!
I NOW know that the europeans (who are too dumb to order at lik-sang,...) are not as happy as me!
And I STILL know that the gp is an absolte cool machine!

I don't understand why so much are bitching around like crazy!

the only thing i don't like is that there won't be an englisch asr for long.

BTW: I alredy own a gp!

Sorry for reviving this, folks, but Flack had a great point. The retro community is, in the first place, the one scene where people embrace the notion that a console is not "dead" simply because no more games are being produced for it.

The whole reason so many gamers outside Asia bought the device was to play those classics on emus, and it kind of makes the GP32 the "anti-console", or... invincible?! Well, at least from a poetic notion; this doesn't reflect Entware's undetermined fate.

Wow what a compelling arguement to show the gp32 is alive!!!
