Kind Of A Newie-type Thing, But Not At The Same Time.

[TwoHeadedBoy]

Okay, hello everyone, how are you etc.

I was one of the first to get this GP2X thingy, you know, back last year when we were all getting the exciting beta-versions? Well I've been having a ton of fun with it, but a lot of other things have been happening in my life which meant I haven't been keeping all that up-to-date with it. I still have the original firmware dammit!

Anyway, I'm in the process of ordering a new joystick, downloading the latest firmware etc. and I would Just like to know: What are the most amazing, essential programs I should load onto my SD once I've wiped it?

Asking mostly for the best in
Mega Drive
SNES
NES
Game Boy
Neo Geo
NGPC
PC-Engine
Lynx
Master System & Game Gear
and I suppose I may as well give MAME a go too.

Just a simple question that need only be responded to in list-form, but feel free to add prose if you so wish.
-Your pal.

I think you should be careful about upgrading the firmware from 1.0 to the newest 2.1.1

I heard that you should upgrade 1.0 -> 2.0 and then do the 2.0 -> 2.1.1

Im still on the 2.0.0 firmware and it works great. Much improved since the original (ugh) firmware.

SquidgeSNES is awesome. Picodrive and DrMDX will fix you up for Mega Drive. MAME updates come faster than I can keep up.

You have a lot of catching up to do
