Gametrac Handheld To Debut At CES

Thanks to 1UP for their story revealing that Gametrac's new portable gaming device will be publically shown at the CES show in early January. The portable, which runs on the Windows CE.NET operating system, has "...a 400Mhz ARM9 processor and 64-bit graphics accelerator... MPEG4 movie playback, MP3 audio playback, SMS and MMS text messaging, a high-resolution JPEG digital camera, plus Bluetooth 2 and GPRS wireless networking for short-range and long-distance multiplayer games." However, the article points out that "mention of any specific games" is a feature "conspicuously absent from Gametrac's announcement", but notes that at CES, the company promises "three titles on display, as well as the system's music player, text messaging system, and a new multimedia advertising system, 'Smart Ads'." We've previously mentioned early word of the Gametrac.

i'd like to add in that emulators are also popping up for the zodiac. not that anyone would use those or anything, cause, you know, it's just not right.

but i believe that there are currently optimized emulators for Atari ST, NES, Sega MS, Sega GG and a few others that i'm forgetting. I believe that an SNES emulator is in the works.

The damn things only been out for about two months, so it's bound to pick up more speed. Even if none of the zodiac specific games ever are release (they seem to be getting out, just slowly) there will be plenty of potential for this thing.

of course to use emulators and roms you'll have sell your soul to the devil and fear the wrath of the rightous game companies.
