GP32 portable console

This looks very very interesting:
http://www.gbax.com/gp32review.html

Nice site about it here:
http://gp32.emu.pl/

I`m very tempted to buy one, especially at that price. Its not even *that* expensive as an mp3 player, which I`ve been thinking of getting for a long while. Adding to that the fact I could play GB, GBA, NES, PC Engine, Spectrum and C64 emulators on it, which all apparently run at full speed, trying hard not to just buy one!

Only £99!

Anyone seen these at all?

Hi there,This does sound a great device.Almost too good to be true.Has anyone got one of these things? Does it do evrything it says (especially the snes emulator bit)?
Do you know if the company is reliable enough to buy one from?
Cheers from Peter

I know that the snes and nes emus run fast without sound, no idea with. :/

I`ve emailed the tech contact on the site who sells it, and will let you know if I get a reply.

Sounds too good to be true, and looks a bit dodgy.

Explain dodgy? Other than an inbuilt sense of paranoia. :)

Looks pretty amazing...thing is, if one was to get one, and it worked fine (so no dodginess), where would you find versions of the games/emulators to stick onto the GP32?

Also, the guy said how he had episodes of The Simpsons etc. on his - but surely the hard disc isn`t that big?

I have been thinking of getting a GBA, but after seeing this...

How big is the hard drive?

I`ve seen that one of the links that was given points you in the direction of the emulators. But where then could you get the games from? Surely you could only have like one game on at a time, because as was mentioned, how big is the hard-drive.

$99 does seem a bit too good to be true...

Your all quite sceptical arent you. This console has been around for a while now. There are people selling them on Ebay (for rip off prices) if you think that they dont exist.
I`ve been thinking of getting one, but would like to know a bit more about it.

Have heard that they can play mp3 and divx files which would be a nice addition to all the games!

And as far as I can make out, smart media is used as a form of hard drive???
I know what you mean about the site looking dodgy though!
