Hi all,
just got my GP32 FLU from GBAX.com (thx Craig) - wow it's awesome. Never heard of it before a fortnight ago - stumbled across gbax.com while thinking about getting a flash unit for my gba-sp.
After I read about the emulation on the gp32 I decided to plump for that - c64, atari st, and scumm oh yes! (I had a c64 & atari st 1st time round, and always loved monkey island et all)
So the unit arrived the other day, and I quickly tried out some c64 games - last ninja, wizball etc. Dungeon Master on castaway, and DOTT on scumm. Also tried some mp3s. Wow - this piece of kit is excellent and deserves to suceed (or is it too late already!). Anyway I have to give up my GP32 until christmas now, as I'm getting the gp32 from my Wife for Christmas, and I was just "testing" it to make sure it worked.
Anyway on to my questions ...
1/ Fancied getting the movie player from joygp but it said my gp32 wasn't registered/authenticated or something along those lines. Craig had preflashed the gp32 with 4 different OS's since the register site was down. Joygp asked me to download some register tool but I was a bit wary since my gp32 was flashed already. Is this okay to run? and once I do this can I buy games from joygp without any issues?
2/ I hear a new official OS has been released for the GP32 how do I go about upgrading my official OS and retaining my current multi OS boot up options?
3/ I see keyboard drivers have been developed for the gp32 has anyone managed to rig a pda keyboard up to their gp32? I'm sure some electrical techie could do something with the expansion port (please excuse my ignorance if this a major task - I don't know the first thing about how to do this
). This would turn the gp32 into a fully functional pda as well (along as we could get some basic apps - diary, calculator, text editor)
4/ talking of using the expansion port has anyone looked at outputting the video output to a tv?
5/Also heard about the new Zodiac console - do you think all the homebrew developers will abandon the GP32 for the Zodiac?
Anyway that's enough ranting for now - sorry for the length of the posting and that most of these questions have probably already been asked.
Cheers,
Scott M.
