The spec might be better than NGX, but that button placement just leaves something to be desired.

I dunno. for some games it could be very intuitive, for example if you shoot and jump on face buttons and throw a grenade from shoulder button in metal slug, it ought to work very well indeed. You see with these smart portable devices I find that with one finger it is intuitive to press no more than two buttons, I can do that without moving my finger. middle of the finger can press one button and the tip can press another (for shooting and jumping). Then another finger can use shoulder button.
If its cheap, works well and is easy to use then the only reason Im not getting one is that basically for me this is the whatfrog whatster. I´ve never seen one. I reckon they are US of A only.
Do you think it would be possible to get a homebrew game working on the Leapster or LeapsterGS, without a custom version of Linix?
I did a port of a game to the Didj using the default system (http://rastersoft.net/?p=97), and would like to move it over to the Leapster. The only issue I ran into was getting access to the audio device, which was already in use.
It appears as if OpenLFConnect could do it, and Leap Pad Manager (http://spiffyhacks.com/thread-212.html) recognizes the Leapster. I'm just not sure if the default paths are the same as they are on the Didj. And, unlike the Didj, the filesystem does not appear to get mapped into the windows filesystem.
Pretty cool MikeW. I think my kids have a GS and 2 somewhere in the garage just gathering dust. Am not a pro at this but do enjoy installing Emulators on my systems. Is there a step by step write up for this? By what I've seen so far, it looks like i should be able to root this with a "Mac" computer correct? Looks like I might have a project for the weekend.

Yeah, I think I know what you mean. Looking closer at the links you posted, it looks like its a bit out of my computer skills. I think it will be easier to send you the Leapster and let you do the hard work for me, then I could just load games that my kids can play.
