	[quote name="Entropy Stew"][quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"][quote name="Entropy Stew"]Video player - 2/10: codec support is too limited to be useful, unless you happen to be encoding the vids by yourself. I tried about 3 files and none came up Ebook reader - 1/10: By "ebook" they mean .txt files. Assholes. Music player - ?/10: I have an iPod Photo viewer - ?/10: I don't want to view photos on this Hardware - 6.5/10: The digital thumb joystick requires too much travel. I'd have much preferred a D-pad. Dual-core 200mhz ARM processor would have likely done better as a faster single core. Build quality is decent, and the screen is nice. Seems a bit flimsy compared to a DS or PSP, though. Games (native) - 1/10: The one is for that one game you can buy Games (emulated) - 3/10: The MAME port has been disappointing so far. The Genesis emu is quite good. The SNES emu is slow. Haven't tried the others yet. Hackability - 10/10: The system is wide open for whatever you want to homebrew or port to it Overall - 3/10: I thought I'd at least get a portable video player and ebook reader out of this if none of the emu stuff worked well. OOPS[/quote] The "right" button on my PSP stuck, so I sold it on eBay. I was only using it as an emulator anyway. So I got a GP2X, finally. I guess there are a number of NES emulators, and the one I have doesn't have clean save state support. I do miss standby mode. I finally used clrmame (or whatever it's called) to make a set of .34 ROMs. Let me <a href="mailto:caltrops@gmail.com">know</a> if you need some of them. The clrkrklmame guy said, "Hey, this program can be used for many kinds of files!" even though "mame" is in the frigging title... and therefore made it much more clumsy than it needed to be. Whatever, I eventually got it to work. One problem: how can I advance past the "All systems go!" screen in Robotron???! Note: there may not be a way, which fucking sucks. I love the flip mode the MAME emulator has, however.[/quote] I already used ctrlmame to build one from a .9-something 16 gig monster, but thanks for the offer. The process was something akin to removing excess toenail via belt sander - possible, but ill advised. -/ES/-[/quote]
