As Mark said they are simply too long and a lot of editing needs to be done to make it easy on the eye (I tried to convert GPM once, it took me afew hours to do the first 3 pages)
I made pintsized using photoshop and it was VERY time consuming, I'm not sure how long it take for Mark to do GPM, but considering you can only get a few medium sized paragraphs on 1 GP32 screen you need to do a lot of art work to prevent it from being samey and boring
If anyone does decide to make a magazine for the GP32 i suggeat the following
1.) Make a programme using Fenix or anothe coding language to view it in. Dalto did it for pintsized and it made the whole thing work very nicely
2) Write all the reviews first then once you have written them all just paste them into a few varied premade templates
3.) Make everything short and punchy, it is a lot harder to keep the reader interested when they are havign tofocus at the screen
