The Wiz News Update - Main World Supplier News - Fastest Handheld on Earth ?

We at DCEmu embrace everything that is homebrew and this week the announcement of the Wiz or GP2X Wiz certainly shook everything up.

We now have a new console coming in less than a month which boasts the fastest speed on any handheld console at this time (533Mhz - the PSP is 333Mhz - GP2x is 2x200Mhz) and comes with 3D Chip and 64 Megs of ram.

It also comes with an Oled Touchscreen Display (not that i know what that is) and Dual Pads, but there has been some dismay at having no buttons one one side, well Craig the boss of GP2X UK (Main UK, Europe and Worldwide distributer) has stated that if required they will promise to replace the 2nd dpad with real buttons should any issues arise with the system (thats an exclusive told to me tonight).

For those interested in what will be a new homebrew console heres the specs:

Little bigger than a mobile phone, more raw power than a PSP and 100% open.

Play games, emulators, movies and music - never has so much power been available in such a small handheld console.

Building on the already well established GP2X software base but adding more speed and graphical power to take open source gaming to the next level.

533Mhz ARM CPU
3D OpenGL Accelerator
64MB RAM
OLED Touch Screen
Li-ion Battery
Charge over USB
12 included games plus a large library of free games



Preorders are being taken at GP2X UK
