Gp2x Wiz played again... January 2010

In this video I revisit the Gp2x Wiz handheld Linux device and show the improvements in the software that have been made since the summer of 2009. It is filmed in 720p HD footage so make sure you watch the fully encoded version to get a good idea of the picture quality the Wiz has to offer. I think the HD video really shows off the quality of the screen.

I ordered a Pandora way back - I'll probably do a video on that too when (err. if) it arrives :P

how did u get quake 2 to play?

@mikepentop You need to download the gp2x binaries and stick them in a folder on your SD card. Those binaries are replacement executables for the PC ones. You do need to transfer the right datafiles off the cd to the right directory on your SD card. All should be explained within the zip file containing the gp2x wiz port.

Good luck.

Respond to this video...  So you do need the PC game to be able to play this on the Wiz.

If it's a pinball game you want, try Devil Crash for the Sega Genesis/Megadrive.

I play it using PicoDrive on my Caanoo. I love my Caanoo but part of me wants a Wiz also.

@nickbaldeagle01 Devil Crash I got that for real on my old Sega Console but thanks for the tip. Excellent game to play on the go.

The Caanoo seems very well built how are the controls on it? A lof of the same stuff comes out for the Canoo, Gp2x, Wiz and Dingoo right?

[nickbaldeagle01]

@markvergeer The controls are good. The little joystick takes a bit of getting used to after a d-pad but once you are used to it it plays superbly.

A lot of Wiz emulators are being ported to the Caanoo. GNGEO is excellent for the Neo Geo games. There's a Doom interpreter too.

I'm anxiously waiting for C64 emulation.

@nickbaldeagle01 C64 emulation is a must for any handheld device in my opinion ;)

[mikepentop]

@markvergeer thank you

@davidhass3lh0ff I 100% agree with you. Emulation for devices on the go is the perfect thing. The Wiz is an absolute awesome little device. Nothing can beat that superbright vibrant screen. The built in stylus/touch combination works really well. I was actually quite addicted to one of the build-in games - a same game with animals.
