What a suprise...

No one talk about GP2X... and yet lots of people use emulators to play retro games..
Its development in homebrew software are far much faster than PSP...

Can PSP ever play Metal Slug 5 or King Of Fighter 2003?
I don't think its ever possible because of memory limitation...

Sony will keep pushing new firmware... with protection against homebrew software...
So if you are playing retro games ... consider GP2X...

I'm happy with my GP2X.... its light (fit in my pocket), uses AA batteries... , play all my Xvid videos.. , with built in TV-Out... , play OGG.. and can support 2Gb SD card...

No Wireless ... is one bad point... but i think GPH will make one soon... when they sees the market...

GP2X uses linux OS.. and most linux apps can be ported to run in GP2X...
PSP uses Sony proprietary OS.. UMD is really a bad idea... why can't they just use a protective SD card instead of UMD.. save energy and smaller PSP... and why can't they use SD card instead of Memory Stick ... Open Standard...

NDS is different... its games is nice ... i rather buy NDS than PSP...

I don't work for GPH... just sharing my comments on handheld console...

You can get it from play-asia.com

Total cost is USD 169.00 + USD 19.90 + RM 170 (custom tax) ...
If you go to hongkong.. u can get one from lik-sang... or play-asia..

I wish the GP2X can play multiplayer neogeo games.... like metal slug 5 ...
that will kick PSP a**.

Metal Slug 3 rocks (full speed at 266mhz GP2X) ... haven't play metal slug 5 yet... though

but the batteries are cheap... and u can keep a few set...
My panasonic 2500Mah can last for about 2 hours .. just enough for a movie
its a trade off... between accessibility and long lasting... lithium are longer lasting.. but pricey... NiMH are cheaper not long lasting...
