Tulip launches new Commodore 64 mini game console

The GP32 is the handheld for this. It takes Smartmedia cards - and can emulate many retro machines including the C64.
Snes emulation and genesis emulation has been done - and is being improved upon as we speak ;-)

Aye - the Amiga Emu is taking its time though cos its a HUGE task. The home brew scene is vast - and we will have that Amiga Emu cos the talent in that community is fantastic!

The ST emulation is PERFECT. The new SNES and Genesis emus will be 100% perfect - full speed and sound... but I didnt say anything ;-)

Maybe this is just silly but......
I heard it mentioned that the Gamepark has a USB port. Could you not plug in a keyboard/mouse. You would have a fully functioning OS3.9 handheld. 32 megs on the memory card for storage is better than some old Amiga HDs out there. I wonder if the storage is one way though.

Yes it is possible to attach a keyboard and mouse to it - but through the edge connector at the base. You can buy a cable for around £8, or make it yourself - and software has to be written to take advantage of it. The GP32's USB port is self powered and self hosted. Mods do exist to take advantage of the USB port.

Basically the only limit to the GP32 is that SMC has a slow data rate. Though the edge connector at the base is quite fat - people are already designing ways of attaching pocket HD's to this.
