I've always wanted perfect Amiga ever since the GP32... and now we have as close as we have ever got to it. I'm really loving it.

 

[tim0391]

a bit of all that really and it is a fast developing scene with things that with the specs given could never be achived

Wanted to have a mobile Surfing station. Can be done with the help of external devices.

 

[Miika]

Amiga Emulation!

 

[skeezix]

Because all you Amiga fanbois needed to be put in your place, so OutcaST had to be made! =) (And thanks to everyone, who in fact chipped in to get me a gp2x. Prophet ftw!)

Amiga! I've never played an Amiga and the emulator on GP2X is so diffecult that I couldn't figure out how to run it h34r: :unsure:

I love my sega nomad, but its just like a big black brick and that's not portable, so i have my gp2x to play alien soldier and gunstar heroes on the go.

I got it for a few reasons- To play emulators and watch movies, and for the development scene. I really like the community here and that you get to talk to the devs and give them feedback on their projects. I also find that it is a good way to learn too. Basically, I find that having a GP2X is a great way to further my dev skills, because anything that you release will almost definitely be used and you'll get feedback on it

 

[shinneri]

Because new apps weren't coming out for the GP32 anymore.

 

[Blah]

I bought it because my GP32 died.

 

[Parkydr]

I bought it because for development (Linux ) and as an ebook reader - I only tried printing and binding one once

 

[pkostrze]

I got mine for emulation, mainly. I went to Lik Sang to get a GP32 and saw the pre-release info for the GP2X so I pre-ordered one. It's gone so far beyond my initial expectations... emulation is great but it turned out to be just the tip of the iceberg.

Emulators. Mainly Amiga and C64

 

[semyaza]

Amstrad CPC emulation, movies, homebrew and development, although I can't get past 'hello world'

 

[b._.o._.b]

I bought a GP2X mainly for Atari-ST emulation and that it runs Linux.

 

[bacteria]

Emulation, definitely!

 

[Micket]

I bought it for the emulators, but nowdays i don't use it at all. I just code for it. I've easily spent 10 times as long time coding on oldplay then i have used it.

 

[Lithosphere]

I bought it for a little bit of gaming / watching videos and mainly for development. I've never regretted buying one. I really learned a lot about linux, kernel, cross compiling, programming in c/c++, hw registers, sdl, ...
