Remember that I promised a GP2X Review?
polycounter lvl 18
Well I am too lazy... but since it is finally at a market ready state (my preview unit from october 2005 still has a few flaws) I guess I can post this really complete review:
http://craig.gp2x.de/review/GP2XReview.html
It is from a distributor, so take it with a grain of salt, but over all it is pretty acurate.
Nitpicks: If you are really anal about the digital stick, than the GP2X might not be for you, as it has a slightly annoying deadzone, but noting extremely serious. And the Amiga emulator still needs some work, so don't get it just for that (same for the SNES but to a much lesser extent... it runs pretty well).
Last but not least, the GP2X is a geeks toy! So don't get it if you are completely computer illiterate
P.S.: there will soon be a docking station, which will turn the GP2X into a complete homeconsole, with high qualitiy TV-out, HD, network, wifi, serveral controllers etc (anything you can connect to a Linux USB port
).

And USB 1.1 Host function now works via the ext.port.
Everything below NeoGeo for Mame runs more or less perfect, earlier NeoGeo Games (metalslug etc) run with overclocking also quite well (almost fullspeed) but compatibility is low for those.
But for NeoGeo games there is also another Emu, that runs those a lot better (but I haven't tried much games with that emu).
