The GP2X Wiz
« on: June 14, 2009, 02:30:03 PM »
Hi Everyone,

Based on a thread I saw on here about a month ago, I've ordered one of these:

http://www.gbax.com/gp2x.html

Does anyone own one and know how good Amiga emulation is on it? I realise the lack of keyboard will be an issue with some games.

Also, for other emulators such as MAME, what is the speed like? I realise I won't be playing Tekken 5 on it but games of the 80s and early 90s - are they playable or is it like watching a slideshow?

Thanks,
Robin.

Thanks guys.

When it arrives I'm going to try and get a version of UAE, MAME and emulators for the SNES, NES, Megadrive, Neo Geo, Amstrad CPC.

I've got one of those handheld Megadrives with 20 games that I play to keep me sane on the way to and from work. This will be a huge step up.

It finally turned up and it's amazing!

So far I've only installed Kickstart 1.3 so I'm playing OCS games. All the games I've tried run at full speed and UAE4All is really easy to use/configure. These are the ones I've tried:

The New Zealand Story
Sensible Soccer
Rainbow Islands
Galactic (Playable demo from the One which I don't think was ever completed)
Creatures
Another World
Jaguar XJ220

I've not figured out how to get mouse games like Lemmings to work.
