A Full Arcade and Game Console Collection in my Pocket GP2X Wiz

Play Arcade, Nintendo, Sega, SNES, Genesis, Neo Geo, TurboGrafx-16, Gameboy Advance, and Many More Games on the GP2X Wiz Portable Gaming Emulator. http://gp2xwiz.info ...

This is a Linux based, open-source portable gaming device (try saying that 10 times fast). It boasts more powerful hardware than a Sony PSP and is capable of playing tens of thousands of our favorite retro games. I first bought this device a month ago, and my hobby has turned into an obsession. I've had so much fun playing my old favorite console games ... not to mention the countless arcade games which I used to spend buckets of quarters on.

I'm also putting together some resources for fellow enthusiasts who are experimenting with their new GP2X Wiz systems. I've figured out a lot of things by trial and error, so hopefully the learning curve can be reduced for everyone else.

Some other great news is that these systems are now available in the USA. You can visit http://shop.gp2xwiz.info for one of the best sources to purchase this.

At 2:18, the Super Mario Bros 3. audio seems a bit glitchy. Is this a problem with the system, the emu, the rom, or just the video?

[gp2xwizinfo]

@TehGingersaurus Sometimes NES can be a bit glitchy because of the timings and everything. It plays SNES better than NES; But then again, there is probably a newer version of the emulator available since the video was made which resolves minor issues...

@gp2xwizinfo Okay, good. I'm assuming that the GP2X Wiz can be used no matter what sort of computer you have as long as you have an SD card. I heard somewhere that it was Linux-only, but I think this just means that it runs Linux, not that it requires a Linux computer to run. Is this correct?

[gp2xwizinfo]

@TehGingersaurus Yes, you are correct. You can manage the SD card in any operating system, it is just the device which is running Linux.

Is there a list somewhere of arcade games this can play?

[gp2xwizinfo]

@grendelee Search Google for "mame gp2x_wiz 2.2 full romset" and then one of the various results should list out all the roms it supports in MAME. And then remember it also supports CPS-2 games (such as 1944, Super Street Fighter, etc) through another emulator

@mangemonk42 There is now a patch for that on the openhandhelds website. just plop it in the snes folder and replace the files.

@XXXXNanoXXXxxx Street Fighter, jojo, and turtles in time...I think.

@bensbrilliantvideos lol no. I wasnt talking about that.. Those games I listed are from high level of mame emulation and from CPS3 system.... I already know the answer to this now btw. The wiz can not play very good mame games ! I high Advance mame games the wiz can not handle like the list I listed...
