GP2X F-200 Released Today With Touchscreen and More

[hacksparrow]

Some people need to understand that this is not made by a multi-million/billion dollar company. It's also not a system that is geared towards the mainstream market, so it's no wonder there's so much bashing of this system. It kind of surprises me though, since it is a "homebrew" system you'd think a lot of people would embrace it. People that will want this system would be one's that have been wanting a GP2X, but have been worried with certain issues from the MK1 and MK2 releases. This new F-200 fixes most of those and seems to improve on them. I own a MK1 and have been very pleased with it. I bought it after I bought my PSP and it gets way more play time than my psp. This will be awesome to see what kind of homebrew can be done with this added touch screen support. It will b e nice to see if some computer emulators will use the touch screen as a virtual keyboard for Amiga, Atari ST, C-64 and others. I'm anxious to see what is going to be coming out for it down the road.

i like these things. as soon as i get rid of 1 of my psp's i will try 2 locate a xgp or kids version.

but geise, i think in the homebrew community we'd like a psp-like device without all the damn locks, and i personally have never heard any1 wantin a touch screen. which is confusing why does it not have wifi & this is not the first second third or umpteenth model...

games and emu's on this thing is friggin awesome tho

Get a PSP and hack it. At least with the emulation you'll get wifi play so you and your friend can play. If you do go that route though I suggest you do ur research before you start complaining like some others because they didn't research. use psp-hacks.com or pspmod.com, here at dcemu or psp.qj.net. It's really not hard to hack it, you just have to find the right tools in a sense.

You won't get AVI or Xvid support for PSP anytime soon though, a big plus for some people.

that is a + for it over the PSP but I already have a 60GB ipod with movies/tv shows. So I have portable video covered
