[GP2X Review By Wraggster]

[wraggster]

Tonight i finally got a chance to review the GP2X (http://www.gbax.com/main.pl) this is the console with the latest firmware and lets just say i was suitably impressed infact in areas such as Movie Playback and the Homebrew side of things i was gobsmacked at how good things were, heres an excerpt from my review:

"Well first a tried a normal avi file and it wasnt supported, but in future i should read whats supported :P, next i tried a xvid of the latest Harry Potter film and the fact that i didnt have to encode was excellent, and the playback for me was perfect, infact on that point alone i was sold, the picture and sound quality were spot on, the list of features like fast forward etc were there as you would expect :)

Games and Emulators

This is the big area and if you look at any of the decent GP2X Sites youll see that theres been a mass of great game ports and emulators released for the GP2X, the buttons felt right and the joystick too, i can honestly say that the GP2X was spot on although at 3am i couldnt turn the sound down in a Tetris game i was playing but that was more than likely the game not having the controls coded in."

I love the GP2x got one of the first units and have been very impressed with it so far.

Sega Genesis emulation is very good, and you can overclock the gp2x to get it running nicely with SNES emulation. Should eventually be able to emulate most 16bit consoles full speed in no time.
