[noob needs help with gp2x]

[PSPworshiper]

Ok I previously ordered a GP2X from gp2x.co.uk and I have a few questions that I'd like to be answered.

1) What is the difference between GP32 and GP2X and their homebrew capabilities?( Can I use GP32 homebrew on a GP2X?)

2) I ordered a 1 gig byte card with the GP2X on their site, is this a SD card?

3) It is said that the homebrew of GP2X will soon surpass that of the PSP. Is this correct?

4) Is putting homebrew on the GP2X as easy as putting it on the PSP?

5) How is homebrew put on the GP2X?

Alright these are the only questions....lol. Any help will be appreciated. :D

1) GP2X is more powerful. Can run more advanced stuff. As for the rest, I dont know.

2)YES

3)Very possible, since Sony is doing everythigng they can to stop homebrew on PSP. If Sony wouldnt interfere, the homebrew could be just as good on PSP as it can be on GP2X. I might be wrong though. I heared the GP2X is more powerful than PSP processor wise.

4) Not necessarily, but it is not easy either. I have the GP2X and it's nothing I hoped it would be. People say it can run old Sega Genesis games well, but it doesnt. The speed is too fast, and the sound is terrible. There is very few things to do right now with your GP2X. There's very little USEFUL software avalable for GP2X. Most of it is useless junk which is only interesting for the developers, since it's a challange to make. People like me who want something that they can actually use, might be VERY dissapointed.

5)Through usb connection.

dont worry, things will become a lot more exciting once gamepark holdings releases the second version of gp2x sometime from between now to the end of march (Q1 2006) i personally hope that they will speed up the gameboy advance emulator, as well as make a genesis and saturn emulator as well

omg i wasted my money on this GP2X when a new one is coming out?

It is unlikely they will change anything major on the GP2X, most of us think at best it be a new joystick cap. Everything is rumours (no thanks to Lik-sang)

GPH develop nothing besides the firmware (if that). A Genesis emulator is already out, Saturn Emulator is not going to happen full stop and GBA is a long term possibilty.
