There's a vid on youtube with GCW Zero running a c64 emu and uae4all.  I'm almost tempted to buy one from Think Geek.

So it runs uae4all?

The only advantage I can see is the portability.

I'm not in the market but it's pretty cool to carry around a portable retro system that can fit in your pocket.

Well, pretty much every smartphone is capable of running emulators, and even have a display with decent resolution. The GCW isn't able to display an C64 or Amiga screen without rescaling it.


but playing c64 games on my note 3 with no touchpad is terrible.  I can't seem to get used to the on screen joystick.

But for Europeans $150 quickly turns into $200+ due to taxes and shipping costs.

(Edit) I did a quick check, shipping to Finland is $46, and on top of that I'd have to add around 20% tax. So 135e seems like a reasonable price.


I guess his deal is mostly for Europeans...while TG  is for us here.  Either way..cool little system to have for portable emulation.
