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!

Re:Cool emulator

You should title your comment .... 'I CANNOT EVEN READ THE SUMMARY OF THE ARTICLE' It clearly states that Linux port is in the works. Nice to see that reading is still a specialized skill.

but that's just me

Excellent game titles

[dpille]

The game titles alone make me want to own it:
Little Wizzrd
Dyhard Infinity
Kimchi-Man
Astonishia Story R
Her Knights - "Forcing break-out"
Hany Party Game
Tails of windyland

Especially "Kimchi-Man". Is he really made of pickled cabbage?

Re:Excellent game titles

[pete-classic]

Kimchee isn't necessarily made from cabbage. I can't stand the cabbage kind, but I like zucchini and scallion kimchee.

It also isn't what you probably think of when you think "pickled." It is traditionally coated with a pepper paste, sealed in masonry jars, buried, and allowed to ferment.

It is really just this side of rotten.

The bigger treat than eating kimchee is riding on a bus with thirty people who eat kimchee daily.

But then, they insist that westerners smell like warm milk.

"GP32 uses radio signals to communicate through solid barriers such as a building (unlike infrared signals that require an unobstructed line of sight to make a connection), you can play games even when your lovely puppy is standing in front of you wagging his tail, blocking your view."

Whoo Hoo!!

Slap a cell phone into this thing and I'm ready to sign up!

Not illeagle...

[somethingwicked]

Hardware emulation isn't illeagle. No honest to god it isn't

Honest to goodness, that's good to hear...I mean, we had a parakeet when I was a kid, and it got sick once and it was pretty bad the mess it made.

But a sick eagle?!! THEY ARE HUGE! And with their diet, you would have mice carcasses and such everywhere, it would be a bloody disgusting mess, honest to god
