GP2X Wiz
,----[ Quote ]
| Granted, it's a truly blatant clone, but it's incredibly addictive, and makes
| excellent use of the Wiz's touchscreen - a feature that has been borrowed
| from the GP2X F200.
|
| Like the GP2X before it - and practically every single open source 'media
| player' released so far - the Wiz is also capable of handling music and
| video. Sadly, like so many of the machines that attempt to be all things to
| all men, it does neither particularly well.
|
| In fact, video playback is noticeably worse on the Wiz than it was on the
| GP2X - but, as always, there's a chance that coders will release their own
| media player programs that eclipse the performance of those that come
| pre-loaded with the console.

Emulation station: GP2X F-200 gaming handheld reviewed
,----[ Quote ]
| A long-time gaming buddy of mine hipped me to this system a few months back,
| and I have to admit I was skeptical at first because he is prone to a bit of
| hyperbole when it comes to things he owns and I don't. But, after spending
| some quality, hands-on time with the GP2X F-200, I have to say that my
| friend's assessment was spot on: this is a quality handheld and well worth
| the $170 price tag for the emulation capabilities alone. In my mind, the
| multimedia functionality offered on the GP2X is just icing on the electronic
| cake.

GamePark Holdings' GP2X F-200 coming in October
,----[ Quote ]
| Where the new model does differ, however, is with the addition of a 320 x 240
| QVGA touchscreen (with stylus), and a complete redesign of the gamepad,
| moving away from the previous, mushroom-like protrusion to a more flush,
| PSP-esque controller.

US Copyright Office grants abandonware rights
,----[ Quote ]
| What does this mean? Well, those retro games -- classic or otherwise --
| that you can't seem to find anywhere can now be preserved without fear
| of ramifications. Although it is still unlawful to distribute the old
| games, free or otherwise, rarely do any abandonware cases go to court.
| The ruling is more symbolic than anything, but a step in the right
| direction.
