A500 ported to GP2X (ARM9 based Hand-held)
« on: February 27, 2006, 07:25:16 AM »
The GP2X is a Dual core 200MHz ARM9 handheld system running Linux. Released just before Christmas 2005 costing USD$169.

I have one and they rock.

Anyway, work has been doen recently to port the UAE4ALL emulator to it.

A thread about it exists here

Just thought I'd mention that the "U" in UAE seems to be quite applicable when I'm on the bus playing Turrican :)

The official site for the GP2X is http://www.gp2x.com/

U is for ubitquitous

and yeah the gp2x platform is a good one imo.

Amiga support is still not perfect but is being worked on all the time and it is all open sourced so everyone gets to play :)

(It has Sega Megadrive/Genesis emulation that is pretty close to 100% amongst others)

I think it might be a while before everything that runs on a A500 will run on the GP2X - 2x 200Mhz ARM9 cores aren't super fast when it comes to emulation of course.
