Thinking Of Selling Gp32

[Sonic_the_monkey]

Can someone give me some last minute ideas to not sell it? I mean not that its a bad system, but it just hogs up batteries, and I never use it anymore. Either my system is too slow of a processor to run the programs or it just doesnt work. I am thinking of selling it with my 64mb smc for about $90. Perhaps its for the best?

Hogs up batteries? Are you using mAh rechargeables? I'd recommened anything over 2000 mAh for a good 4-6 hour run...don't bother with regular batteries or Ni-Cad, they're just a waste of money!

Anyway, what have you tried on the GP32 so far? Surely some of the great emulators impressed you?

 

[Sonic_the_monkey]

I tried snes, genesis, nes, and gameboy emulators. The snes ones run super slow, and only some genesis games run ok with sound and everything. However the nes and non-color gameboy games run great. Basically, if what I heard about psp getting emulators that will run snes is true, its basically going to kill gp32. Most people want a portable snes, and gp32 just cant run it at a good speed.

 

[Goity]

Oh yes it could

 

[Sonic_the_monkey]

Well I would love to see that happen, but it hasnt happen yet . I wish you were right though. But there still arent enough buttons the main system itsself, I know its possible to map B and X to start and select but it just isnt the same as what it would be on DS, or PSP.

NLU FLU or BLU?

$90 is a tad cheap!

​

Just snes? jeez.. i wouldnt be surprised if it could emulate the n64 full speed.

 

[Sonic_the_monkey]

Its frontlit. I still have the cable, box and manual. Not to mention I think im going to include the smc.

 

[Seraptin]

lol the psp is not much better than a n64 how should it emulate it ???

and 90$ is to cheap for a gp + smc ...
and with dr.md i can emulate much genesis games @ full speed with sound and the snes emu is fast enough 4 rgp games or mario if u overclock a little bit
and if you dont want to play games just use it as a mp3/ogg/wma/mod player or as a portable Video-player.
i haven played to much on my gp32 too but i use it everyday to play oggs and it has so much nice things you can do with it i never thougt about selling it

WTF are you talking about? PSP runs at 300 something MhZ! It's faster than a PS2!

The DS is not much better than an N64 IIRC.

I read in a gaming magazine, here in Sweden, that the PSP had a 166mHz MIPS CPU, which isn't very impressive, as my handheld from 1998 has a 67mHz MIPS CPU.
It's probably wrong anyway... :lol:

PSP has graphics that are something in between PSX-PS2 by looking at screenshots/videos.. it wouldnt have a problem running a N64 emu IMO.

 

[tekt5]

Clockspeed isn't everything you know :lol:

Dreamcast had better gfx than N64 but I don't think theres a very playable n64 emu for it

 

[onionfrog]

I wouldnt sell it. Drmd is perfect except for a bit of games that dont run. Mame is excellent. Nes emulation is damn good. Sms/gg emulation is damn good. Plenty of systems emulated perfectly... Probably plenty that you havent even tried yet... Keep, it, your not gonna get too much for it, its much better just to keep it. The gp32 can do so much. Most of which you probably havent even tried yet...
Not just emu's we have great homebrew too. Smashgp, lacuna, drunken frogger and much
much more!! .

YOU SAID IT. it's going to .... WAIT UNTIL IT DOES! and then sell you gp32

what if a snes emu is never released for psp and you sold you gp32 WAIT!

​

Oh come on. The Xbox can only just emulate the N64 and it has a 733 mhz processor, plus a bloody powerful graphics chip. The GP32, with up to 166mhz processor can't even emulate the Snes properly, which has a 2.68 mhz processor. A console needs to be at least 20 times as powerful to emulate something. Plus, we don't even know if people will be able to crack the PSP to run emus on it anyway.

​

Actually, clockspeed IS a big part of it where emulation is concerned.... And If there's a will, there's usually a way. I bet there's some kind of back door left in the PSP by he Sony developers....

We can only hope (only a few weeks till me mum comes home from the states with mine!)

Even if it doesnt get cracked, its a hell of a device! I reckon the most likely avenue of hacking would be via a hacked firmware, as the PSP is specifically designed to be upgraded in this respect.

Ah well... lets wait and see!

 

[Huxley]

I wouldn't buy the PSP for emulation until it actually gets a few decent emulators. Until then the GP32 is your best bet.

 

[Shadow of Chaos]

i was thinking about getting a psp, but if they dont crack it.. sod it

 

[Sonic_the_monkey]

Hey guys I got alot of people telling me they would be intersted in buying it. So I decided to put it up on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...ssPageName=WDVW good luck!
