    Our New Machine, Pandora

    I seriously doubt it could be shipped from the UK to USA for $10. At today's rate (on xe.com) $10 = £4.78, which would only just pay to ship, say, a boxed GP2X within the UK. If you want it sent to the USA at a decent speed and with insurance, I'd guess $20 would be the minimum you'd pay. It's...

    Gp2x As Mp3+video Player?

    Music playback is good from .mp3 and .ogg formats. The built-in player is a bit limited, but there are freeware programs -- e.g. CraigAmp -- which will handle lpaylists, albums, shuffling etc. with no problems. Video playback is limited to XVid and DivX in .avi containers; most downloaded video...

    Usb Controller Compatible Emulators

    I know you were asking about emulators, but I thought it's worth mentioning that Beat2x (excellent stepmania style game) works with USB controllers. I seem to remember someone posted a video of themself playing it on a dancemat.

    Script-making Tutorial?

    This is driving me absolutely crazy! Can someone help me with this please? I'm trying to use the example scripts from TelcoLou's post above. I downloaded Programmer's Notepad 2, went to Tools>Options>Defaults and set the default line endings to "Unix (LF)". To be doubly sure I also ticked...

    How Much Does It Cost You To Play That Game?

    It sounds petty if you're thinking about your power bill, but I read a while ago (probably in New Scientist?) that if everyone in the USA turned their TVs off properly instead of standby they could shut down a handful of power stations. There was also something about the switch from filament...

    Broadband Providers

    Does anyone have experience with Talk Talk? Their free broadband deal looks pretty good, but I don't want to sign up without hearing from someone who's tried them!

    Gp Cinema

    I swear I wrote a reply to you yesterday, but it seems the internet goblins have eaten it. Briefly: I had success ages ago with "Xvid 1.0 final" build, but don't know where you can download it from sorry. I tried the latest version of Xvid (1.10 final or something) this morning and couldn't...

    Gpcinema Compatibility With Lastest Xvid

    This is going back a few years, but I used this guide: http://www.btinternet.com/%7Ewaystation/gpcin.html to encode movies using the Xvid "1.0 final" build. I can't remember where I got my copy of Xvid, sorry. You might also want to look at RealMagic codec: REad through this thread...

    Trying To Find A Racing Game For Genesis

    Hi folks, Can anyone reccomend a game for Genesis (or anything else the runs smoothly on a 140MHz GP32) that feels like mario kart to play? I love Mario Kart, but my poor GP32 can't o/c high enough to play it at a decent speed. Thanks, Melville

    Ripping Dvds To Hard Drive

    Thanks guys! Got that sorted now, so tomorrow morning when I'm on the commuter train to London alongside a load of suits checking their emails and playing with excel I'll be watching Duckula on my GP, giggling like a loon! ...commuting really gets me down, so these early morning cartoons are...
