Gameboy Advance Clone Superemulator
Aluminum Tuesday writes "During a raging internal debate over whether to fork out for the new Gameboy Advance SP, I came across the Korean GP32, a handheld console that looks superior to the GBA in every way. It's capable of emulating the GBA, Super Nintendo, Commodore 64, etc. plus there's a SCUMMVM engine for Monkey Island games and a Java VM. Seems to have a huge online following. It runs its own OS, and there are programs capable of playing divx/mp3 files, though there's also a Linux port on the way. Not too expensive either. (99UKP / 149USD) That's a UK supplier; they ship worldwide, though I found this more expensive American supplier too. (179USD)" Gotta catch 'em all!
No you didnt read the submitter correctly.
It's the typical free-as-in-im-not-paying attitude.
Here's how to read it.
"Emulates games for $SYSTEM" = YOU DONT PAY FOR THEM.
Just like
"Has OGG support" = YOU DONT PAY FOR MUSIC
or
"Has DivX support" = YOU DONT PAY FOR MOVIES.
See? It's all about piracy, err, excuse me YOUR RIGHTS ONLINE. But noone will ever admit it.
They'll give you the standard "I only legally emulate games I buy" horse crap. But who buys GBA games if they dont own a GBA, just out of some sort of moral obligation to do so?
BTW, all you budding l33t 0-d4y-r0mz kiddies, you can emulate the GBA on your PC if free games is all you're after.
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
