and

B, there was an app out for it that i simply must have as niether my gp32 or zodiac has.


is frodo a lot better than the gp32 version?

 

[nickspoon]

DrMD is probably the killer app at the moment. Have yet to try Frodo.

 

[Vimacs]

Not realy any killer app if you allready have a gp32 and a zod.
But dont forget all the fun testing out new releases!

Hi moz!

It's me LK from ZodiacGamer!

You want the killer app for the GP2X... How's about Dr.MDx, the badass Genesis Emu!

or StarControl II from the 3DO source if I can get it to run.... :rolleyes:

 

[craigix]

Rather than a single killer app its more like a lot of apps which run really really well, plus of course the speed of this scene.

And here comes craig again, trying to sell another person a GP2X, and quick.

 

[icurafu]

Ur-Quan Masters is the killer app for me. But it's only beta. so there are a lot of issues.

Dr. MDx and Frodo2x would be the killer apps after that.

I haven't noticed any big improvements in frodo on the gp2x, but thats probably because it was already so good on the gp32 However, I could be wrong. I thought that DrMD was as good of a genesis emulator as I would ever get and then I tried it out on the gp2x running at 266mhz (with the overclocking utility) and WOW it was a large improvement! It runs just about every game I throw at it at framskip 0 with 22khz sound at 60-62 frames per second! I only got 30 frames per second or so on my gp32.

About killer apps, well, i'm not sure.... there are a lot of good games out for it but most of them are on the zodiac or gp32 already (but not as good ). There's some good homebrew/ports (rock dodger!! I can't wait until the high-score saves work!), some really good emulators (DrMD, frodo, all of NK's stuff), and a lot of other great stuff. If the psx emulator keeps improving that will definitely be something to consider. OnScripter looks like it could open up a large number of possibilities (i'm thinking of getting some people togethor to make a visual novel on it after I figure my way around the "coding" ). I "beat" narcissu on my gp2x using onscripter, and it was very good (and very sad ) but I haven't found any other free visual novels for onscripter that are in english.

If you're not sure, just wait for awhile, there's bound to be a lot more stuff coming out, and there's always the rumored "f-day". Some people said that ryleh hinted that it would be this christmas but I think this is all rumors as I don't remember rlyeh ever telling us when it would be released. The f-day preview emulators were simply amazing so i'm definitely looking forward to the full thing.

Spout is a port of a gp32 game of the same name

 

[sam fisher]

i just played a movie at 2mbps with 400kbps sound..........

 

[nubie]

Yeah, full res Divx on TV-out the size of a GBA kicks the PSP's ass all over the place.

S-Video to full res 720x480, something the PSP CANNOT DO!!

 

[dennis20014]

Yea there's ton's of cool stuff to use with the gp2x, and I dont even have mine to say for sure! The gp32 and zodiac are getting out of date anyway, go new!

 

[declaration]

DrMD is the killer app for now.

The NeoGeo CD emu is pretty fucking cool too though.

DrMD is the killer app without a doubt. It crushes Genesis emulation on the zodiac and since your GP32 isn't backlit looks worlds better on the high contrast backlit GP2X screen.

 

[sam fisher]

one of my gp32'x is backlit and one is frontlit! They are opposites, ying and yang. Anyhoo.

 

[moz]

oh well guess i'll hold off a while, thanks all for the input

hmm well I guess with an GP32 and a Zodiac you don't have many reasons to get a gp2x. However it isn't even out officially and the dual core setup is sure a given for some nice surprises B)
