GamePark Holdings GP2X is a gaming handheld launched in 2005. Powered by MP2520F (2-core, 200 MHz), 64 MB RAM. Features a 3.5" TFT LCD display (320 x 240). Runs Linux.
When it comes to emulation, the GP2X comfortably covers 8- and 16-bit systems: NES, Sega Master System, Mega Drive, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Neo Geo, MAME, Final Burn Neo and many classic computers such as the Commodore 64, Amiga, ZX Spectrum and MSX. Most SNES games run at 60 FPS, though FX chip and Mode 7 titles slow down. Many 2D PlayStation games run fine, although not all at a full 60 FPS, while 3D games remain a struggle.
The 3.5-inch TFT screen offers QVGA 320 x 240 resolution, a 4:3 aspect ratio, 60 Hz and around 114 ppi, protected by a plastic lens. Its proportions suit retro games naturally, and brightness is adjusted through the menu.
Controls include an 8-way digital thumbstick with L3, placed in the upper position, four face buttons, L1 and R1 shoulder buttons and dedicated volume buttons. There is no analog stick and no rumble. The plastic body measures 143.6 x 82.9 x 34 mm and weighs 161 g, with front-facing stereo speakers and a built-in microphone.
Power comes from AA batteries, with a Mini USB port and DC power input. The console offers AV out for a TV, a 3.5mm headphone jack and an extension port. The 64 MB of internal NAND storage is complemented by an SD card slot.
The Linux operating system is open and modding is permitted, which fostered an active community of homebrew, ports and emulators, including ScummVM and MS-DOS games. The console has been discontinued.
Ideal for: collectors and fans of open handheld history, lovers of 8- and 16-bit gaming, and users who value the flexibility of AA batteries and an easily modded Linux system.
