[News] Linux-based Handheld Console Reviewed

Review: Gamepark GP2X 

,----[ Quote ]
| The $199 Gamepark GP2X is an interesting hybrid device. Based on the
| Linux operating system, this unit is about the size of a traditional
| handheld gaming player. It sports a 3.5" TFT LCD display and two
| separate processors (one for video, one for everything else.) Out of
| the box, the GP2X has a built-in video player, music player, photo
| viewer, and e-Book reader.

| Perhaps the most interesting set of applications are the games. To
| begin with, there's a very functional port of MAME, which lets you
| play more than 1,000 arcade games (like Marble Madness and Tempest),
| in their original coin-operated form. There is also an emulator for
| Neo-Geo games, and even the original Quake first-person shooter
| engine. Installing these isn't hard, but it's not simple either.
| It's certainly not like plugging a UMD into a PSP. On the other
| hand, it's all free.
