From what I can tell is that its Neo games running on EMU's for the GP32.

If it actually works well, I'll get one for sure.

Fake stuff like this is easy to pull off on the GP32.
All you need to do is get some screenshots of the game (use NeorageX for example), then transfer them to the GP32 via the PC-link, and display them using any homebrew picture viewing software.

The GP32 screen is 320x240, which is similar to the neo, so you dont need to re-scale the images either.

I wish it wasn't a fake - but I really, really have my doubts.

If that turns out to be real..it looks like a lot of us will be owning gp32's very soon.

If they are fake, they photoshopped with unbelievable skillz.

Even if that's fake, GP32 is really worth trying or buying. There might be really cool stuff for GP32 in the future.
GP32 is going about $150 but the games are not always in english.
You can also do many cool stuff with GP32 than just play games.

and when they arent in english its usually korean, which is a MUCH easier to learn language, just based on the character set alone (i think its like 24 letters.) it was a scientifically developed language so i'd assume its very effiecent and makes sense.

Bah, it probably is fake.

It looks like someone snapped a pic of KOF2000 with a 'emulator' and viewed it on a GP32 with a pic program.

LOL, it even has the credit indicator and 'Press Start' for Player Two.

I won't believe it until we get some official word from Playmore.

8mb RAM is way too little for emulationing Neo and especially if playing KOF roms. I mean the RAM in the device itself. Of course GP32 supports SMC memory cards which are up to 128mb of storage I think.

Nope thats not happening...
I tricked many people on something like this last year with Samurai showdown. That is either a picture viewer or it's a video running on Divx.

Well, i dunno... i think that korean is far harder to pronounce than japanese, and while japanese requires the knowledge of kanji, Korean takes a much longer time to be able to read fast due to the clusters. there's lots of VERY similar sounds in korean, and if you aren't born with the pronounciation skill, it's QUITE difficult to learn how to pronounc properly. Not only that, but spelling can be pretty ambiguous in korean, and the similarity of several vowels and even consonants adds to the difficulty of the language.

I'm korean, what can i say...

Man I remember reading through some Korean DDR lyrics thinking man there is no way all of this is one word. The Romanization of some words is longer than most Romanic alphabets.
