Trooper:
The world has gone GP32 crazy, Which can only be a good thing. Can`t It???.
Well i dunno about the world but i can vouch for the UK going alittle crazy on this unknown gem.
I was talking to craig from GBAX yesterday and he told me to phone before ordering one online as the demand recently has been really HUGE so they may run out of currents stocks, the reason for his is that its seems to be a great bit of kit, and because it was just recently Slashdotted!
Axeman:
If you need Smartmedia cards and you're in the UK, take a look at www.7dayshop.com. You can get a 128Mb card for about £24 there.
I'm gonna get one in a few weeks time, but in the meantime i have got myself some cheap SMC'S :-)
Thanks for that info Axeman!
As a side note, i have been talking with some of the guys who have been using them for some time and some who develop things for it to, and there take is that only in the past while things have really started to pick up for it, emulators our starting to get very recent updates, some commerical games have been released and as said before in an earlier post, Pinball Dreams is available for it with possibly more in the pinball trilogy to follow.
Native commerical games for me our not the selling point anyway (there ain't many), it's the emulation, C64 on the move! wohoo:)
Mame is also in the works and there has been a release of that a few days ago, not sure if it has sound yet but its running some of the older titles pretty well like Ghost "n" Goblins, Genesis/Megadrive emulator also has been in the works for some time but the author does not want to release it until its perfect, but its coming along nicely from what i've heard.
I Think also its just a matter of time before we see a GBA emulator, thats gonna smoke it's CPU if it can do that
There also seems to be a big demand for some sort of Amiga Emulator for it also, i've seen quite big threads/chat (nice one Axeman) about this subject and and in various IRC GP related channels, most would agree that this would be the jewel in the crown if it's ever pulled of, i won't hold my breath in that one though.
I will say one thing about the GP32 owners i've talked with recently, they remind me of Amiga users and how we look upon our classic bit of hardware, friendly/helpfull know what there speaking about and most of all, they love it and very protective/dedicated to it
They also see a possible huge future for it, when the world knows, sounds familar huh ;-)
