GP2X Preview

I just recently bought a Gamepark GP2X F-100 MKII Linux gaming handheld. The GP2X is from a South Korea and is designed with the purpose of running emulators, homebrew games, and some commercial games. Another unique feature is that it has S-Video out so it can be plugged into a TV to view what would be on the GP2X on the TV.

I am writing a review on the GP2X and might do a comparison to the Tapwave Zodiac. Please post questions/comments in the comment sections of this blog post. I’ll consider them for the review.

An added note, I do not have a Tapwave Zodiac anymore.  But I will be working with some people at Tapland on the more tecnical things.

“The GP2X is an open-source, Linux-based handheld video game console and media player created and sold by GamePark Holdings of South Korea.

The GP2X was designed for homebrew developers as well as commercial developers. It runs many popular emulators for game consoles such as Neo Geo, Sega Genesis, Master System, Game Gear, Commodore 64, NES, Pc-engine/TurboGrafx 16, and others.”

Back on the drugs…

Thats right, I got Linux running on my new PC! AMD Athlon 64 3200+. Not all specs are finalised. My graphics card is some brand that I never heard of but I’ll find out what exactly it is soon. My friend gave it to me and he said it was much better than the one I had.

I choose Ubuntu this time. I’m a fan of Fedora but I heard people were having a few problems lately. I love Ubuntu. Even got an Ubuntu sticker on the front of my PC. I might post some pictures later. I’m just glad to finally have a working PC. Turns out my 512mb DDR ram was bad. Plus had some other stupid problems.
