A500 ported to GP2X (ARM9 based Hand-held)

[Dingo_aus]

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/

Sweeeeet! :-D

22 pages of discussion is a bit much to get through so early in the morning, though...

/me wonders whether it would be possible to get the USB interface to masquerade as a serial port for things like Stunt Car Racer... :-)

A virtual Handheld Amiga! Very good to see.  

I think a GP2X will be making itself at home in my handheld collection very soon.

Not a bad price either...

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.
