DOSBox! There are a bunch of games I always wanted to play on the move but the '2x just didn't quite have the power to get them running smoothly. Hopefully the p&|a should have enough oomph to enable plenty more games.
I'd also love to see a good GBA emulator - I don't carry my GBA around these...
We all make mistakes, and the 2x can be tricky to get going at first. But once you figure out how to run the programs, it's friggin' awesome :) enjoy your 2x!
Anyone have any idea what happened to the 'Simple RTS' (possibly renamed to Platoons or something similar) project that was being discussed ages ago? People seemed pretty determined to make it happen, but then it disappeared.. :(
I'm pretty sure they'll both work fine, the '2x supports most cards - the chart at http://wiki.gp2x.org/wiki/SD_card_compatibility says that kingmax 2GBs work.
Cards that are more expensive but the same size generally have speed advantages - so if you buy a cheaper one you'll have to wait...
Bah. I've been trying out the beta, which I enjoy a lot, but I only have space for a couple ROMs at a time - never got the 4gb card that I ordered from 7dayshop :( *sniffs*.
I read your thread on their messageboard...the '2x java implementation doesn't support swing, so it could be a lot of work to port - as I understand it, the whole UI would need to be rewritten.
