    Has Anyone Benchmarked The Wiz / Gp2X / Dingoo / Pandora?

    Well, yes, those are all reasons which appeal :) An ex-neighbour has a Wiz and it seems like a nice bit of kit, they're after a Dingoo too. I suppose what I'm looking for, in regards to benchmarks, is similar to this MAME site. Except with different machines, C/ASM settings etc.

    Has Anyone Benchmarked The Wiz / Gp2X / Dingoo / Pandora?

    I was referring to you saying you had to overclock to get VICE running games at C64 speed, and the scrolling was still bad on some games. So far the most compelling reason to me to 'upgrade' to a Wiz or a Dingoo is the fact that both of them have higher-than-AA capacity batteries... :(

    Has Anyone Benchmarked The Wiz / Gp2X / Dingoo / Pandora?

    Oh dear... C64 was my format while I was at school so I've got a lot of affection for the format, to me that sounds like VICE on Wiz runs barely any faster than on my 2X and I wasn't exactly bowled over by having to use frameskip on it. :(

    Has Anyone Benchmarked The Wiz / Gp2X / Dingoo / Pandora?

    That's the sort of thing I'm staggered no-one seems to have done to compare the formats. I'd love to know just what sort of difference there would be, as things like VICE and MAME would be what a Wiz / Dingoo would probably be used most for. As for Pandora, it's just too expensive so it's...

    Has Anyone Benchmarked The Wiz / Gp2X / Dingoo / Pandora?

    Just wondering as I've not seen such things around. Google brings up nothing and there's only one thread mentioning them on this forum, and that doesn't mention much :/ I know there are a lot of factors which affect such numbers but I'd love to know how I could expect performance differences on...

    Pandora/wiz In T3 Online

    Sounds about right for that magazine. It's a typical 'lad' mag for tech, in that it's far more concerned with image than, y'know, those bothersome and time-consuming FACTS. I wouldn't touch it with a ten-foot stylus ;)

    I Just Bought A Amiga 600

    They wouldn't be ROMs because the Amiga games didn't run on cartridges :P You mean disk images, and it's easier said than done to transfer them over. The basic problem is that the basic PC floppy drive can't write Amiga disks, so you have to transfer them over to the Amiga and then use that...

    The Wiz Gets Proper Buttons And A 3.5mm Headphone Jack

    Is anyone willing to take a photo of a Wiz proto sitting next to a GP2X, both turned on, so we can see the relative screen sizes? Anyway, I'm excited for the Wiz, it's pretty much what I'd want a 2X follow-up to be in most respects. I wanted a handheld with quick and easy homebrew and...

    Gph: The Wiz - Official Announcement

    Those large-rez pics look great, and the news about the flexible nature of the ABXY 'pad' is very welcome. Frankly, ~£100 for a homebrew / emulation / AV handheld was always, always my sweetspot, and of several people I know into gadgets. Frankly mainly due to the price, Pandora was never on my...

    Gph: The Wiz - Official Announcement

    ~£91 at Play Asia for a machine which is double the speed of a 2X, with a better battery and promise of 3D acceleration in future apps? Yes please. This has the price sweet spot for an upgrade as far as I'm concerned... Blimey, I'm just thinking how Amiga, SNES emulators & MAME would perform...

    Fba2x - Finalburn Alpha Beta 7.2

    Excellent work on this, but I still can't get Tatsujin / Truxton 1 & 2 working, I just get a blank screen which I can't return from. Dodgy roms are are they just broken in the betas...?
