hi, want to check that anyone hve expericne with this console?
seems is preety good, uses SD card as storage.

There are many emulators available for the GP2X which allow you to run software from other systems on the GP2X as long as you possess a copy of the software you wish to run (generally in the form of a ROM dump). Many emulators will run most software perfectly and at the intended speed, but some others may have various issues (often to do with speed or sound). Popular emulators include GnGeo which emulates the Neo Geo; GNUboy2x, a Game Boy Color emulator; MAME, an emulator of various arcade machines; DrMD, which emulates the Master System, Game Gear and Mega Drive; SquidgeSNES and PocketSNES, which emulate Super Nintendo games; and Picodrive, which emulates Mega Drive and also many popular Sega CD games.

spec as the link
GP2X spec

get it here.

dude, I know Play-Asia, thank for the pointer anyway,

I am asking do anyone know any local source here.................. in Malaysia

i think there is 1 lyn forummer using it...
i dun remember who...

i had been looking into this console for quite sometimes, but the screen size and color are not as good as psp, see data below:(170k color VS 16.77milion color).

i haven't seen the actual gp2x, i only guess based on the spec.

GP2X:
"The vivid 3.5inch screen features 170,000 colors and a 320x240 pixel TFT LCD display."

PSP:
"Display: 4.3 inch, 16:9 widescreen TFT LCD, 480 x 272 pixel (16.77 million colors), Max. 200 cd/m2 (with brightness control)"

beta get a psp la if u want a multimedia device. psp is a beta choice.

hmmmm true true.. but the processor, seems GP2X is a better RISC processor...

psp is also using RISC cpu. MIPS R4000 (32bit version), see link below:. BTW, i also think GP2x is fatser due to the 170k color and 320x240 pixel, less processing on graphic????? (i guess, i might be wrong. ). anyone here own one?

David, thanks for the information !
anyway , I already have few PSPs... hahaha

i also have psp too. i'm also thinking of buying GP2x for testing/playing around. too bad it's not selling in Malaysia except buying online from oversea.

I got GP2X from play asia...

It runs most of the emulators...
It runs open source, linux operating system.

It runs on 2xAA battery... and should last for about 3-4 hours if you use 2600mAh rechargable battery.
You can watch divx, ogg or MK video without any problem.

i see. finally saw one forumer got gp2x. do you get taxed by malaysia custom when purchasing from play-asia? can post some photos how is the screen color look like?

i wonder can it run all neogeo games in full speed like what psp does.

today i see gp2x at ampang point sale at 1k plus

wah 1 K + killing !!!!

Nintendo DS can do 260 000 colors, but less resolution than GP2X..

i don't understand this. NDS is 260 000 = 260k colors right?

yes david , 260 0000 = 260k , therefore psp owns by 1677000 - 16.7 million colors if im not wrong , offtopic liao .LOL . anyway is this a branded unit? like Sony trademark . Nintendo t rademark .. tis one is wad leh? o.o

This one is from a Korea Company, used to be very famous with it's GP32. At that time, it's consider a special handheld using smart media card instead of catridge based. you can search link below for more info:
