prototype gp32....

[rcx21000]

I think its cos they're cheapr and alot more commonly used....

They are cheaper, but AFAIK, CFs are more commonly used... And you can get up to 5GB (or mabye 10GB-20GB? I 4got) with Type II CF microdrives... And you can have up to 1GB with Type I

EIDT: To Shaking Spirit: BUHAHAHAHA

mmm.....I think I would have prefered CompactFlash.
They are bigger (up to 3GB), have a MUCH longer life than SMCs (up to 300 years ) and are very reliable.

EDIT: Damn, RCX was faster

Jesus christ , I would KILL to get a go on some of that. How did you get it all? You are associated with GamePark I assume...?

Jesus, that looks SO much better than the current design. Would look even better in black.

Awesome!

EDIT: http://members.cox.net/kamranjabbari/gp32i.../earlyproto.jpg I reckon Nintendo got their SP inspiration from this! God damn I wish they stuck to this one!

 

[nerd of nerds]

oh, the processor isn't the same? geeze, i want internal pics now... (actually if that was possible it would be great...) i think that you could get a dump of the bios with a jtag cable....or does it have the same ext conn?

 

[Dolfhin]

some informations about my proto...
the screen is 1/3 bigger than the actual screen, there is a contrast button and no usb port.

games are not using SMCs but Compact flash cards.

there is no free launcher, so I can't dump the bios, and I don't think it would work on a normal GP32.

I have little wizard on it. There are only 256 colors and animation is more than awful. (the processor is not the same)

Also, there are only 3 buttons (A + B + C) + the start button. No select button or L + R. And those 3 buttons are so small and so near than when you want to push one of them, you push all of them !

But you can expect a complete review of this proto very soon ^^

I'm looking forward to a long long review with loads of pictures

i second that

If FX man could make a mold of the GP32 prototype case and send it into GBAX.....the possibilities...

 

[jegHegy]

i seriously can't believe it you people like the "design" of that prototype

 

[Hanuka]

i liked the old design, too, although it probably wasnt very usable. the new one is ergnomical and thats what counts

@fx-man: how were you able to get it? when did you get it? where do I get it? where do you live, so i can steal it, while youre asleep :lol:

i would pay almost every price for one of those prototypes :rolleyes:

 

[Mash]

holy christ.

 

[Esn]

A very early prototype (from one of the links at the bottom of that HandheldsHQ site):

:lol:

 

[Axeman]

To all those who wanted the video-out thing....

Look at the screen!!

It looks nasty! Blocky as hell!

it'd still be cool to have though Just for the bragging rights

 

[Azure]

The bad thing about all the prototypes is only 3 buttons.
