A Proper Handheld A500 Style Games Console - Cool Idea?!

@CU_Amiga

Great idea, but...

Why limit yourself to floppies?  Why not just have some sort of dedicated (hardware?) emulation and load ADF's off of a CF or SD?  

I'm not sure where a widescreen would help though, since there are no widescreen games.  BTW, the PSP has an excellent screen (best I've seen on a handheld).

Hey Yo!

You're wrong on that one buddy! :-) The PSP screen is lovely, and it's big and clear. But unfortunately the quality of the screen itself is of lower quality than GP32 or Nintendo DS. Hence, that is why you get quite a few of PSP's with "dead pixels"

Regards,

Nintendo has/had the same problem with the DS initially, and have taken action just like Sony has.  I guess I'm lucky because neither my DS or my PSP have dead (or stuck) pixels.

But, the GP32 (not BLU/FLU) screen is aweful.  Perhaps they fixed it when they made the new units but on my original GP32 the screen is not even centered.  :pissed:
