Okay, I'm in the market for my first GP32. I looked at http://gbax.com/#gp32 and it says when talking about their GP32:

Includes CD packed with emulators & games for the GP32.

As far as I've heard, you have to register at the official GP32 website to use files. Have they already registered it? If so, how does this work? Do they just give you a registration number and everything works fine?

Thanks!
 
its cool, i wish now that i would have bought mine @ gbax... ive got a mac and it took me ages to find a peecee to reg. it with... oh well, its done. if you cant get it from GBAX for some reason, go for PlayAsia.com. they have excellent service. Dont buy it from Lik-Sang... they gives me the sh-sh-shivers. :ph34r:

Why does Lik-Sang give you shivers? I don't recommend that you buy from Play-Asia, as a lot of people who have bought their gp32s from there have experiences unresponsive A or B buttons (I myself have experienced this too on my gp32 from play-asia). I recommend buying from GBAX or Entware. I especially recommend buying from Entware because from them you can also buy a commercial game, like Her Knights.

I am not 1005 sure, but I think they come preflash with euro firmware or multifirm thereby removing the need to register. Your best bet is to email craig
 
Dont be so down on Lik-sang. I got mine there and they provided a quick service. They also said the goods only cost $35 dollars so I didnt get stung with an additional customs payment.

Mine was fine from there. and 6 months later when i buggered the control stick they were more than happy to repair/replace it.

I got mine from Lik-Sang with no problems, and no tax hassles since they sent it from their Germany warehouse (and I'm in the EU). Was pretty fast too!

I've used L-S about 10 times with no trouble whatsoever.
 
It is preflashed to multi FW (mr spivs), we decided to do this because of all the hassle of registering and MAC problems.

Makes it all much easier. I am also thinking of including an SMC RW with all GP32's to totally do away with GP's software.

Me and Guyfawkes (gp32emu) made up an SMC to auto-flash any GP32, really quick and handy.

Here's a reply I got from GBAX with some of those questions answered. This'll help
out newbies.

Hi,

If your GP32 is faulty when you recieve it, then yes you can either have a replacement or your money back.
All of our products are covered by a 12 month Gaurantee.
All of our GP32's are pre set-up with the Euro Firmware.
There is an MP3 player already installed when you recieve the GP32.
The Gamepark website is now back up and working, so the Freelauncher download is available again.
Yes the IRC method of registering your GP32 does work, to find out how you can go here :
http://faq.gp32emu.com/ If you go to Newbie Guide Part 1 and scroll down to The Second Way Registering via IRC.
For more information about the GP32 you can go here :
