        \_ Doesn't look too different from a Tapwave Zodiac.  I have a
           Zodiac, and I have to say, the thumb joystick thing kind of
           sucks for NES/SNES games.  I'd prefer a normal directional pad.
           \_ I've never seen the Zodiac before.  Interesting.  Looks like
              you can get it new for about $200 now that the company has
              abandoned it.  I can see how the analog could suck for
              emulation though.

I ordered my gp2x from gp32z before the "official" release which means I get to deal with all of the early bugs, but despite this I love the gp2x! Right now I have pulstar, metal slug 1, and metal slug 2 on it which I run using a neogeo cd emulator for it. I have chrono trigger, final fantasy 6 , and sword of mana which I run on a snes emulator for it (still rather slow, only good for rpg's). I have >50 sega genesis/megadrive games on it inluding sonic 1/2/3 and phantasy star 2/3/4 which I run using DrMDX which runs just about any game I through at it at 60 frames per second With 22khz sound and 0 frameskip! I have about 12 GB/C games which run pretty well, except that there is no rom selecter (not a big deal, you have to run a script to scan the roms and then load each game seperately) and there is no stretching (it is very small on the gp2x's higher resolution screen). I also have some nes games on it including mario and zelda. I have MULE and a few other commodore 64 games on it which I run through frodo nearly perfectly. I have flashback (ported), Duke Nukem 3D, Quake 1, open transport tycoon deluxe, and a lot of very good homebrew games! de When I run out of games to play, I have two episodes of xenosaga: the animation and one of the simpsons on my SD card to watch. They are encoded to 100MB each using autogk and divx 5 (xvid isn't supported on the early firmware I have, it should be fixed in the newer firmware/s). And all of that takes up less than 700 MB of my 1GB SD card which I bought for about $50. And if I really get ambitious I can set up dev-c++ and the sdk to begin developing games and applications for my gp2x. If you are looking for an amazing community-driven handheld device that can emulate many older systems, play many types of media, and also has a large number of good homebrew games then the gp2x is for you!
