I hear ya, i now think slightly less of you but thats ok
So I'm thinking on picking one of these up. Is this handheld system as good as people say it is? I want it pretty much for running emulators. I was looking at the dingoo, but that looks crappy compared to the GP2x wiz. I have two psp's but never figured out how to hack them nor do I want too. What concerns me the most is how Neo Geo and Cps2 roms run on this. Do they run fine?
I love mine. The screen is insanely clear [way better than emu's on the ghosty-McGhost PSP] As far as how they run? The answer is "very well". Very little frameskip on higher end CPS2 titles. No Neo at the moment, only Neo CD. Which is fine for me right now, but I am anxious for someone to recompile the Neo on it since it supposedly ran so great on the GP2X F200. So far, mine has been used primarily for Doom(s), Wolf3D, Quake 1 and 2 and Rise of the Triad. Sega Genesis [and Sega CD] and PC Engine run amazing on it, SNES as well.
Plenty to keep one busy for now, with only more to come...but its not nearly as widely supported as the GP2X yet, so...maybe look over the file archives and make sure there is enough there for you personally.
I love the shit out of mine.
I just got it in yesterday and I have to say that I'm not that happy about the emu's they have for it. I'm having problems running the cps-2, and I followed the cache instructions. The Gba Emu does not recognize the same bios that I was using on my pc so that doesn't work either. The Pico Drive does not run any sega cd roms that I tried (Final Fight, Road Avenger, and Slipheed). It gets up to the splash screen, then freezes and yes I do have the sega cd bio's. The nes emulator does not run Mike Tyson's Punchout correctly. I'm like what the fuck.
Did you pick up a Wiz or an F100/200?
hmmm, i haven't tried the NES emu, but everything else you listed works great for me. Sega CD needs to be ISO/MP3's....I also haven't tried GBA yet. But CPS2 and Neo Cd, Sega CD/Genesis all work great. I've noticed things are a little tricky sometimes with paths and folder locations....but you should be safe if everything is dropped into that "game" folder.
Can someone check and see if there castlevania dracula x is screwed up on there pocket snes for the wiz. When I play the first stage, the flames are in front of the screen instead of being in the background. WTF!!
you have to turn on layer transparencies or something like that....but it will slow the fuck out of those screens.
For PocketSNES I'm using firmware 1.0.0, so your mileage may vary:
Sound rate: 22050 Mono
Frameskip: Auto
Region: Auto
Show FPS: OFF
Transparencies: ON
Cpu Speed: 780 (the highest my wiz is stable at)
MMU Hack: ON
Saving SRAM: Automatic
All "advanced hacks" are OFF.
With those settings Dracula X runs fine for me.
As for Punch Out, with "Accurate renderer" set to ON, there aren't any graphic glitches.
Not all romsets are working in the CPS2 emulator. You have to run Street Fighter Zero 3 instead of Alpha 3, etc.
