Omg!!! I So Want A Blu Gp32 Now

[orangemapped]

Does the screen on the BLU still get scratched to fcuk very very easily?

I dont remember a single time whereby I've realised I've scratched the screen - but its covered in them. Whether it be from just being in my pocket or getting wiped clean of dust.

Its annoying.

I look after all my stuff - the whole console's perfect, and still as good as when I bought it - you couldn't tell it's been used - aside from the scratched screen. <_<

Nope the screen is very clear and without any scratches. I´ve left the protection where it was. Doesn´t look very good, but its better than a dirty or scratched screen.

I have a BLU since friday and i´m really, really happy with it. But batterylife sucks.... <_< ....2 - 3 hours max.

2-3 hours max?!? Is that playing processor-intensive emulators, homebrew games/utils or comercial software? I mean, at a regular speed the batterly life should be more than that. And what strength batteries are you using?

 

[unlucky]

Battery life is god for me so i think i'll stick to non lit "_"

Not exactly a scientific test but I've watched a 2 hour film (@120ish mhz) spent another 4 hours playing snes and megadrive emus @166mhz. I then listened to mp3's for roughly 2 hours before the batteries gave up.

That really isn't too bad... is it?! :blink:

i love my non-lit gp32

Are the start and select button meant to light up?

No.

What are you talking about?

Hm, I may keep my FLU for sunny days then :lol:

But can you still see the screen if you tilt the gp32 at an angle? I'm curious to see if backlighting tech has gotten past that.

Yea you can still see the scren fine outside if you tilt it a little.
But the Regular Gp32 and Flu were easier to see outside.

You must be using some cheap batteries.

With Ni-mh 2200 I get 7 hours or more playing Nes at 133mhz and Snes at 166mhz.

 

[Grim-Fandango]

Guess you´re right.

First batteries i used was this korean...and they are really cheap

Today afternoon i bought some better ones. Looks pretty good now, 4 hours nonstop playing, no problems.

Battery life: About the same as the FLU (I'll go so far as to say exactly the same, but I swap out my batteries as soon as I get home from work, so I never use them a full 8 hours)

Angle Viewing: the LCD fades a bit, as expected, when viewed at harsh angles.

The one thing I'm put off about is the damn plastic screen; it has that anti-glare purple-blue coating crap on it! I hate these frigging screens; they smudge so easiliy! </gripe>
