Muzzaro
Still Fresh
I randomly appear on the boards when i get reminded of the GP2x, and try to find out how it's going. I do want one, (honest!) but at first the whole battery life, screen problems and joystick that doesn't hit diagonals (and has a large dead zone) scared me off. I mean, as i said before, what's the point in buying something "complete", then having to fix various things on it. (i'm not a DIY person either, or i'd have my own arcade cabinet or two by now...*sigh*)
So, i get an email from the Allack site i signed up for and they said...
Is this true? I looked back a few pages and no-ones praising or even mentioning a mhz upgrade on the processor.
I did read a post about what the MK2 "fixed" from MK1, but not many people really kept it on topic, and it seemed to break down into a discussion of how much each person prefers the joystick.
Right now i'm trying to shop for an MP3 player (Looking at the Creative Zen Micro, i'm not really into colour screens of video playback, i just want a multi-line screen and decent music quality), but i'm also keeping an eye on multi-function devices such as walkman phones, PDAs with decent music support, my PSP (which sadly isn't an option, i feel like the thing is about to break each time i touch it), and... maybe this. It would also be nice to play the old games, but if i'm honest, although the odd blast on a classic is fun, i'm not that caught up in the retro scene as others are. However new/homebrew games are normally fun, and you can get some very decent quality free games out there too.
Really this is kinda a "Is the MK2 any good" and "would it suit me?". I have the money to put down for one (i'd have to dip into the Wii fund, but i'm not amazingly nuts about that anyway), but if the problems haven't been fully addressed from the Mk1, i'm not someone who's going to be able to fix them, and i'll end up reselling it on Ebay or something.
Sorry if i seem wishy-washy, i'm not a decisive person. You wouldn't believe how long it took me to focus on one single brand of MP3 player, and even then i only need to hear someone mention a positive about another brand and i go "oh no" and have to sit down and relist every mp3 player and their positives/negatives =/
