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!

DRM/DMCA/Profit? by st0rmcold · 2003-04-03 08:50 · Score: 0, Redundant

Great, but I still wonder how long it will last until they get nailed for making a better product than the original :)

DRM in the GBA games will surely be here soon to force only a real GBA handheld can play the games.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's great, but big corporations don't like competition and tend to crush them everytime the oppurtunity comes along.
