Newbie Alert: Just Got A Gp On Ebay

[monoone]

What up peeps. I'm new here to the gp32 scene, been following the gp32 since like damn, since fucking like the days of the ugly rectangle thing with wings. Well, I'm an accomplished aggressive inlin skater with a forearm in two pieces, so I'm out for the summer, so for graduation I treated myself to this http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1 So now I'm gonna be sitting on my ass in front of my comp teaching myself to code, nothing else to do, soo a solid three months to learn, I gotta have something running by the end of the summer.

So, to start some chit chat, how much more life do you think the gp32 has? I think commercially it aint going no further then the gp32, but I think the scene will keep it alive like the atari scenehas kept the jaguar and lynx still kicking.

 

[Huxley]

Yeah, it will be around for a good while longer for exactly the reason you stated. I only hope we get a few more decent commercial games before Gamepark pulls the plug

And welcome! Nice to see more people gaining interest in the GP32. All the best with the coding

Yep Yep, I was gonna get a blu, but then I noticed BLU means back lit unit, and back lit things dont do to good in the sun and I spend a lot of my time in the sun. But I only had around 250 to spend and I wanted the most bang for my buck, and 3 128mb cards and the card reader was really ehat sold me, so... I've done hecka research, what makes the BLU so better then the FLU people are sellingthere FLUs to get one.

The old prototype they showed when they first announced the gp32, it looked like a rectangle block with wings.

I haven't seen that!

Just to note, I noticed the Ebay advertisement said the GP32 could emulate the GBA, but in reality it can only get maybe 1 or 2 FPS if the game works at all <_< (meaning even if you could get it to work, it wouldn't be at a playable speed and it would have no sound).

Please check our FAQ for more GP32 information, found in my signature. Just want to make sure you aren't disappointed with your purchase

Good look out, but I know it aint emulating the GBA, I've been following the GP32 since the beggining, never got one because at the time I was selling my video game collection to buy a pimp ass computer so I never got one cause I thought I would never play video games again, I had just sold a collection of shit, I had 355 nes games all the jaguar and lynx games and then about ten other consoles with hundreds and hundreds of games, so I honestly thought my video game days were over. But, because of a freak accident two weeks ago that happened after recovering from a freak accident that put me out for 3 months I'm staying grounded and gonna teach myself to code.

 

[sam fisher]

I'm teaching my self to code and have a virus that makes me feel really ill so I have loads of time to. Anyway you can learn to code and then teach me how
My lifes ambition is to become the person in my avatar! COSMO!!!!!!!

Alright people, I need urgent help, making choice pretty much right now, is the BLU that much better then the FLU, I read that the picture is gonna be way better. And on gbax it comes with a free card reader (something I need and for some odd reason dont want to buy one). So is the two extra smc cards I'm getting worth getting a FLU over a BLU?

 

[sam fisher]

Ok I have a flu and am getting a blu. On the flu the colours are washed out and sust collects under the screen. You cannot open it up or you'll cause serious damage to it. The blu is better in light and clearer and can probably over clock faster from the looks of it plus the free over clocking upgrade anyway.
