Took about a week, which is not bad from Hong-kong (Global Priority shipping)

Didn't pay any import or VAT, which is nice, so final price was £95.

Unfortunately, it only goes upto 160Mhz reliably :(
 
By not paying VAT or customs duty you have officially forfeited your right to complain about how taxpayers' money is being spent, cheat.
 
I thought you went to Zodiac again. Are you just keeping the GP32 for fun now?

Anyway good luck with it.
 
Congratulations Squidge.

Well, Maybe you should not of got rid of your FLU [whispers] 220mhz, 220mhz,220mhz,220mhz[/whispers] :p .

Sorry squidge, Couldn`t resist. ;)

Yeah, unfortunately it seems his coding is primarily for Zodiac. He is doing an awesome job with the Frodo port on it. I wish the GP32 version was as nice. I would have been happy about the port before but since I sold my Zodiac I won't be able to try it :(

220Mhz is pointless if no apps use it because there's about 1% of GP32's that'll go that high :p

I've changed my status now, and no, I'm not keeping it for fun. Development carries on :)

Sorry, my price was £95 before shipping. Still, after P&P of $10, it's still only £100.40.

BTW, This BLU is much much better than I thought it would be ! With everyone saying the screen was dark, and useless in the light I really thought it was a badly designed unit just to keep that Europe buyer happy. It's actually a fantastic update from a FLU with a brilliantly looking screen, and buttons that seem much more firmer and responsive now than they did on my old one.

Well worth the £25 "upgrade fee" if you ask me.

Fgen looks really awesome on the BLU. Plus it fills the screen with no filtering etc. If you notice a slight yellow tint it is the plastic screen on there. I put in the glass one and the screen looked even brighter and whiter.

What are your opinions about the BLU screen in direct sunlight versus the FLU in direct sunlight, both with their light off?

Don't know yet, how do you turn the BLU's light off? I thought it was hold down select, but that doesn't seem to work.

It is with Select, but it takes about 3 seconds. It's too dim to be of any use besides conserving power while playing MP3/OGG/MOD/MIDI tunes.
