New handheld Retro Gaming console

[Harrison]

The GP2X and its predecessors are great handhelds for retro emulation fans. It definitely has a wide range of emulators and other software already available due to the easy recompiling of existing Linux code for the platform.

And this new one has a faster 533MHz Arm9 CPU so emulation should run well.

I don't know anything about the other one though. At $100 it isn't really expensive. About the same as a mid range MP3 player, and it it does have battery life was claimed and it well made with good controls and screen then it could be worth it.

However I have a PSP and run a lot of emulators on that and it does me for the moment. SNES games run especially well.

I just found a lot more information about the system here.

It seems to only have built in emulation for NES, SNES, GBA, Genesis and Neo Geo. There is a video showing it working though.

Yeah, I saw that too this afternoon, so I guess the variety of emulators is limited, obviously more than on the PSP or the GP2X.

According to Thinkgeek's product page, it doesn't need you to install any emulators. It plays the roms out of the box. Also it plays a bunch of audio and video formats, and has a radio and ebook reader software. All you need to provide is the media.

Am I on your ignore list or something?
