There are two SNES emulators available for GP32. Snes9xGP allows you to map your buttons, so if you need to, you can have two buttons (like A+B or L+R) equal one SNES button (like X or Y). I haven't tried the other SNES emulator so I don't know if it allows button-mapping or not.
There is a Gameboy Advance emulator in the works. The Gameboy Color emulator works at very good speed with sound and saving supported; I've had my GP32 for a long time and can attest to this. You have the option of playing with GBC's little letterboxed screen, or having it stretched to fit GP32's big screen.
Especially this war. Dictionary.com defines terrorism as "The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons."
unlawful - the USA does not have the UN's approval to use force or violence against Iraq. The intention is clear to everyone: to coerce Saddam to leave the country and/or relinquish control of the country, which is certainly a political reason.
We're waging a "war against terrorism" but we are committing terrorist acts ourselves.
The GP32 can't even been seen as an issue due to its pure lack of power. While it has a higher MHZ rating it doesn't have any special hardware to deal with sprite effects, background effects and more...
With a much more powerful processor and 8MB of RAM, GP32 can emulate GBA's hardware effects in software. I've owned a GP32 for about half a year, and a GBA since launch date. Many GP32 games meet and exceed GBA graphics, such as Astonishia Story R.
Plus, a GBA emulator for GP32 is in the works. TONS of other systems, including NES, GameGear/Sega Master System, and SNES are already emulated well on GP32. Despite all this, however, the one thing really keeping GP32 back from direct competition is Nintendo's stranglehold on the handheld industry and the Game Boy's huge library of games.
When GP32 came out, people accused it of being too similar in design to Game Boy Advance.
Now, it looks like Nintendo has decided to borrow Gamepark's design for the GPi, a notebook-style GP32 device (not yet released) that has a touchscreen, built-in mobile phone, and runs Linux.
Another interesting thing about this is that both devices are updates to existing platforms: GBA SP from GBA, GPi from GP32. Perhaps Nintendo sensed a potential threat from Gamepark and decided to become more competitive?
I don't know about your state, but here in mine (California) anyone who wants to ride their bicycle on a sidewalk may do so. Why would you say they are faster than a Segway? You can ride your bicycle at any speed you please. You can pedal slowly or even walk your bicycle if you choose to do so, or you can pedal quickly if you need to get somewhere.
The way I see it, this is more intended to sell GBA games to Gamecube owners than anything else. In my opinion, the target market for GBA and for GCN are very different. Some people just want to play a handheld game on the train now and then; they have no reason to buy a Gamecube. Others never leave their couch; they have a Gamecube, but no need for a GBA.
So, I think this is aimed at people who own GCNs but not GBAs. The adapter is about half the price of a GBA. People with Gamecubes may buy it and buy GBA games for it, and never need to buy a GBA.
Of course, people with both systems can obviously enjoy it, but that's what I think Nintendo was going for.
Oh, so the European Union gets to decide what's good for the word? I hate that.
Oops...I mean, I respect all humans equally. Even those who try to make decisions that affect people they don't govern over, such as Europeans affecting the way Japanese can access the internet.

Did you take into consideration the fact that Microsoft loses money on every Xbox, trying to regain it with software sales? If they stop selling Xbox's in Australia, then they won't have to produce as many, and therefore not lose money on Xbox's there.
The smart move for Microsoft would be to stop selling Xbox's in Australia, but keep selling Xbox software there.
So couldn't a computer manufacturing company, who has these parts for ultracheap, start making Macs and selling them? Or possibly making Macs that run Linux, Windows, BeOS, whatever...
Trillian - Who cares if they work together? Trillian's still damn good, and despite threats of legal action, works with all the major IM networks (besides Jabber). It even has a quite nice IRC client.
Just a bit of trivia - Shenmue II is not an Xbox exclusive. It's available for Dreamcast (PAL only).
You can add a DVD-ROM drive to any PC for as little as $30. Doesn't a modchip for Xbox cost around the same, if not more?
You can plug your PC into a TV or a monitor, too.
If you've already paid for that monitor or TV, you can get a PC that runs Linux for $200.
So basically, what you're saying is that for $200 you can get a computer that runs Linux, plays DVDs, and plugs into a TV or monitor...or you could pay the same amount get an Xbox, which is non-upgradable, and doesn't have all the standard ports that a PC has?
It's already been done. You can share your PC's dial-up OR broadband connection with your Dreamcast.

Is that really fair, though? Banning someone's IP from using accessing the Gnutella network at all, just because they decided to see what QTraxMax is all about?

Hopefully, after the novelty of television wears off, the Bhutanese people won't become as obsessed with TV as Americans are. When I was a kid, I used to wach cartoons every Saturday morning, without fail. I'm sure many other people did the same. But as I grew older, I watched TV less often, and now I only watch the news and sometimes a few programs I enjoy.
The article made the Bhutanese people seem, to me, like America's children. But in a few years, hopefully the novelty will wear off, and Bhutan won't lose its rich culture to Sex in the City and MTV.

Pre-order the GBA SP.
When GP32 came out, people accused it of being too similar in design to Game Boy Advance.
Now, it looks like Nintendo has decided to borrow Gamepark's design for the GPi , a notebook-style GP32 device (not yet released) that has a touchscreen, built-in mobile phone, and runs Linux.
See for yourself:
-- GBA SP
-- GPi
Another interesting thing about this is that both devices are updates to existing platforms: GBA SP from GBA, GPi from GP32. Perhaps Nintendo sensed a potential threat from Gamepark and decided to become more competitive?

Gamecube is $150. (link to where I bought mine).
Are you saying PS One is free?

Not likely...why would a bunch of geeks at a LAN party want to go outside? ;)
Why do we even need this technology? Webcams are so cheap these days, and a good broadband connection isn't difficult to get in most areas.
And do you really want to be prank-phone-called by someone at 3 in the morning by someone not wearing any clothes?

Yeah, it also sells video cards.
