You serious? GP32? GP2X? XGP? XGP mini? PSP ripoff? GBA Micro ripoff?

Anyway, the media slot seems smaller than SMC, so is it binary compatible?]]>Sep 11th 2006 6:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/gamepark-poised-to-release-xgp-kids-handheld/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/gamepark-poised-to-release-xgp-kids-handheld/

The company then split into two;
Gamepark Holdings: Made up of the developers and engineers who made the GP32. Created the GP2x, which is a GP32 with updated specs (and running a variant of linux). Completely open-source and highly moddable.

Gamepark (new): Made up of the executives from Gamepark. Have not yet released the XGP, which is closed-source and supposedly will only run proprietary games. Pretty much a failure before it even launches.

Just so nobody gets the two companies confused.]]>Sep 11th 2006 7:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/gamepark-poised-to-release-xgp-kids-handheld/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/gamepark-poised-to-release-xgp-kids-handheld/Errmm... the GP2X (I have 3 of them) is not an 'updated GP32' .. it is a completely Linux-oriented machine, whereas the GP32 is not. You cannot run GP32 software on the GP2X unless there has been a port (and many GP32 authors have ported to GP2X, incidentally).

These new XGP handhelds represent a 'third wave' of portable Linux-based handhelds .. and should do quite well, if the GP2X is anything to go by .. at $75, I'm certainly going to invest in thew new GPH machines .. after all, when it comes to Linux boxes, "the more the merrier"!

(distccd runs great on my little GP2X beowulf cluster, tee hee...)

Methinks it would be easier to mod than my PSP anyway..and much more affordable as well.]]>Sep 11th 2006 10:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/gamepark-poised-to-release-xgp-kids-handheld/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/gamepark-poised-to-release-xgp-kids-handheld/Sep 11th 2006 10:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/gamepark-poised-to-release-xgp-kids-handheld/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/gamepark-poised-to-release-xgp-kids-handheld/Sep 11th 2006 3:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/gamepark-poised-to-release-xgp-kids-handheld/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/gamepark-poised-to-release-xgp-kids-handheld/Sep 13th 2006 1:55AM
