Video of an Arcade cabinet going against a handheld mame box!

<< < (3/4) > >>

sodapopinski:
The GP2x impressed me as well, but I've broken many handheld systems aand controlers. I don't know if its an anger issue or durability issue, but i've never broken arcade controls. Heck, the're ment to be molested!

FrizzleFried:
I enjoyed the video...

RandyT:

Heh.  Don't take this video seriously.  I'm sure it wasn't meant that way.

This is obviously just someone who is a fan of both, and is really impressed at how well this little handheld stacks up to bigger machines.

The GP2X is an absolutely amazing little gizmo.  It plays a lot of games better than you would expect it to, the screen is better than any other handheld, except for maybe the PSP, and the fact that 2gb cards are getting so cheap means that you can carry around a lot of stuff to play with.

Drawbacks:  The stick leaves much to be desired. It's usable, but I'm baffled that they couldn't have done better.  The speakers are "tinny" sounding, and the "fake 3D" sound processing kind of makes it worse.  Other than that, it's a really neat toy.

Oh, and they have a docking unit on the way, the "consumer" version of the developer "breakout" board, that has TV out and 4 USB connections, plus other stuff.  Might be a great foundation for a mini-mame cab, or "all in 1" control panel!!!

To me there is no comparison - a cabinet wins hands down. Especially in the controls category. Not to mention: Sound, screen size, being able to play 2 players at once, etc.

The only thing the handheld has is it's portable. Great - I got a portable with inferior controls, a tiny screen and piss poor sound - thats just swell.

Lew- Didn't you once build a handheld? I could have swore i had seen something about one over in the "projects" forum.

i have a gp2x and im very happy with it for what it is. the sound is dissapointing i must say, but you never seem to be able to have EVERYTHING in one system  :(  from what ive seen of the psp, the gp2x screen is second only to sonys machine.
