Here is some random poll. :blink: Pick the answer that comes closest to the truth.
Comment if you've got something weird to tell.
 
To me the backlight is a big selling point. (my gp32 is Nlu)

1-Ports and Emulators
2-Homebrew games (close second)
3-Commercial games
4-Multimedia (distantly)

Is bylram (sp?) creatures putting out anything on it? If so that gets the top spot.
 
I voted for a media because it will be first (and most obvious) use of the GP2x. The rest will be utilised too so don't worry. :)

Well DaveC that depends. Maybe it isn't for "watching" porn. In that case it goes under "Something completely different." If we can add vibration to it, we may have an entirely different use for it. :D

Emulation and Homebrew all the way!

I have to say emualtors and ports (duke nukem 3d, doom, quake, wolfenstien ect. ect.) have to be the biggest thing I am looking forward too. Then videos come in a very close 2nd, then of course indey games and comerical games come in 3rd.
 
Ditto, Nick, though I must say I have reservations regarding video. Then again, I understand that it shouldn't be long before the GP2X is working as a USB host - once it is, I and my 250GB USB drive will be quite happy with it.
 
Playing emulators
Making Emulators/Games
Listening to music/Viewing movies
Playing homebrew games
Playing 'real' games

In that order and whatnot.

Until I see a full speed SNES emulator for it I am not interested. The GP32 already fulfills most of my emulation needs (NES & Sega Genesis)
So... why are you here?

I voted Coding Stuff, as I primarily intend to develop for the system, current planned projects being a Quake based FPS and a very intense top-scrolling shooter. Secondly I intend to use it to run emulators and play video/music since I am selling my PocketPC shortly.

I'm getting it for a few things... Primarily, as a portable media player. Next comes emulators and homebrew games (tie!), and then making some fun SDL games and porting them.

What the heck did you even bother saying that for? Not even CLOSE to what question is being asked. You seem to be interested in emulation, sure, but unless you voted for emulation, what did you post that for?

My first choice is for media, then ports, then emulation, then homebrew.

Originally the possibility of running emulators on the GP2X caught my attention,
but right now I'm more interested in the media playback capabilities.

I don't own a fancy pda, let alone a notebook (well, I got one, but it's almost as heavy as my desktop pc :( ), so the GP2X seems to me like the best choice to carry my documents (some eBooks, but mostly notes I wrote on the pc) around with me.

And just thinking about watching an episode of CowboyBebop on my way to university... I so have to get that thing. : D
