Why bother with risking bricking a $200 PSP when you can get this?
Rememeber the Gizmondo and the GP2X?
No?, well most people don't but they were hackable protable gaming consoles made to play emulated games as well as MP3s and movie files. They are a pretty sweet idea. Here is the next gen of them:
http://kotaku.com/5042675/the-wiz-+-gameparks-successor-to-the-gp2x
The Wiz (I am assuming it is a Wii name joke)
From Kotaku: " it runs a Linux-based OS, has a GBA-ish form factor and is wide open for homebrew developers to code original games and — always the killer GP2x app — emulation, emulation, emulation.
Unlike its ancestor, it has a 533MHZ Arm 9 processor with 3D acceleration, 64MB of Ram and a touchscreen. There is only the one screen, so DS emulation is fairly unlikely, but there are already some touchscreen games and apps in the pipeline as you can see in this ridiculously large picture. Long JPG is loooong.
Also new is support for Flash 7.0 which should open up the possibility of playing web-based games that you manage to get on an SD card by whatever means necessary. There is no wifi, which is a shame, but you can't have everything.
The Wiz is available for pre-order now at around $179.99 , due out in October."
Here is all the info on it in a VERY LONG JPEG shot: http://gp2x-emulation.dcemu.co.uk/Wizintroduction.jpg
Seems pretty sweet to me even with out WiFi, what do you all think?
