Any GP32 owners out there and able to help me.. I have owned mine for a few years and my recent Gizmondo purchase has promoted me to have a bash on this once again.. Whats the best emulators and Games for it.

Some info for those about the Handheld below.

QuoteThe GP32 is based on a 133 MHz ARM CPU and 8MB of RAM. Unlike other hand held gaming systems, which tend to be proprietary cartridge-based, the GP32 uses SmartMedia cards (SMC) for storing programs and data, making it accessible for amateur developers as no further development hardware is required.

The console has a four-way mini-joystick controller, two main buttons ('A' and 'B'), two shoulder buttons on each side of the SMC slot ('L' and 'R') and two other menu buttons on each side of the screen ('SELECT' and 'START'), made from a softer, translucent rubber.

The console also has a USB v1.1 port for connection with a host computer, a serial expansion port, a 3.3v power adapter input, a headphone connector and a rear compartment which holds two AA sized batteries.

The overall design is not unlike the original version of the Nintendo Game Boy Advance.

Commercial units are white in color with either grey or white buttons and trim. There are also a number of differently colored promotional units, and several prototype units with different designs.

There are three main commercial versions of the unit characterized by different display types.

I had a gp32x some time and in a way I'm sorta sorry I got rid of it, and now use a dingo a320, but I still have the old gpx app database links here, so the best advice I can give you is to browse throughout this database, all nearly all the top emu on it near perfectly based on the Linux os they are programmed under, I used to play all the time with UAE4all emu for Amiga stuff, brilliant that.. But they have a rating system for each emu plus comments on what works and what does so check it out

This should do you good ;)
