I hope that this proves my theory that the PSP (Playstation Portable) poses no real threat to us as a community - i.e. can't be used for emulation or homebrew stuff....
I hope I'm right!

Why did you buy a GP32?

Bought it for gameboy emulation - which ain't ideal - and the prosepct of SNES emulation - which is looking brighter and brighter....
Since then, I've pretty much given up on Gameboy emulation, principally because there's so much else I can do with it.
There should be a "Homebrew games" option too, btw - there's some stupidly good ones out there, although prolly not enough to sell one on their strengths alone...
Stupidly good ones?
Well - Arcano, Tailgunner, World Of Picross GP to name but 3... and there's LOTS more

Well, technically I haven't actually got a GP32 yet (but the money has been drawn from my credit card, so I guess you can say that I've bought one) but it should arrive soon.
Anyway, the main reason for purchase was to develop on it (and the fact that Mithris and A_Lee_N kept bugging me to buy one!)

I bought mine for emulators, by a longshot.

yeah, it shouldn't be threat to a community like this.....i bought my GP32 for emulators and the development scene mainly (it's just like a mini-Amiga communityAxeman posted on May 15 2003 said:I hope that this proves my theory that the PSP (Playstation Portable) poses no real threat to us as a community - i.e. can't be used for emulation or homebrew stuff....

)however i most certainly will be getting a PSP when it comes out (and i don't care what anyone says
)every machine out there has at least 1 or 2 killa games on it which make it worth getting, and i'm sure that will eventually have a few
also i reckon SOMEHOW somebody will manage to port some emulators across to it aswell.....they always do
time will tell though - for now, nothing can compare to my GP32 handheld-wise, but next year will be a different situation.....either way, there's nothing wrong with having both! (after all i have more than one pocket
)

The memory sticks are going to be used for saved games, just like a PSX memory card.Cpt_Kirks posted on May 15 2003 said:

I bought mine for emulation, Commodore 64 and Atari 2600 specifically, with hopes of NES emulation (that seem to be coming true).
I live in an area where public transportation simply doesn't exist, so I rarely watch movies or listen to mp3s on my gp32. The best I get is making my wife drive me around, and playing games while sitting in the passenger seat.

Yeah, they are *DESIGNED* for that, but some nice hacking should allow emus and such. I would imagine Sony intends for MP3s and vids will play off the stick too. They are talking about this being an "entertainment" (not just game) unit.liquidcross posted on May 15 2003 said:
