That's my question! Who has a gp2x? I just got mine and it's sweeter than sweet! So if anyone has one too, What do you do with it? I have been playing gnuboy and squidgeSNES. both of those are very good. Though gnuboy is much better. I can't wait til a stable and fast GBA emu comes out :D Hopefully one is in the works.

I was gonna get one a while ago. I made a thread about it.
Is it a recently updated version?
I dont know... I heard all the stuff about it being underpowered and there being a chance that the joystick might not work(large number of bad units were released I guess)... Anyway, I got the PSP instead.
But dude, you should post your experiences with it and what it can really do. :-)

Well so far it plays native games very well, (like vektar) and it plays genesis, game gear, and master system all flawlessly (one emulator for all three). It also plays gameboy and game boy color games pretty much flawlessly. It's also very easy to overclock which makes games play much better. One thing that's really nice about it compared to PSP is the fact that you don't need to rely on exploits to play stuff. It's much more simple and intuitive to use. The firmware upgrades also don't cripple the system (so far).
I got a mk 2 system which is what you'd want to get if you get one (or a mk 3 if that's ever released :P). It's got a pretty good joystick thing and I hear a lot of the bugs from mk1 are fixed :)

It sounds good to me. But I don't think I will grab one till SNES and GBA emulation are polished.
