The system looks cool but I want to know if it's for me or not.

For Emulation I already have
a modded Xbox - basically looking for a HANDHELD that would replace or improve on this
PSP Slim Hacked
DS with a flashcard
Wii hacked AND a modchip
A Good computer that runs anything you throw at it just fine, N64, PS1 and the likes

Of course I have many other system too but a Dreamcast, PS2, 360, and old consoles, but the ones I listed are my main for emulation and homebrew.

So with that in mind is the Wiz for me? Does it have some very good homebrew programs, like for example a good drawing program one that is better than Phidias on the DS, can it run N64 games or PS1 games?

Another thing to keep in mind is and I'll be honest here, I can NOT purchase original software, period, I live in Macedonia a country where people don't make much, around $300 a month and we either buy pirated games all over for super cheap and affordable prices or download them ourselves and I hear the main torrents site for GP2x has closed and I can't seem to find stuff for this anywhere else.

Guys, give me all the info I need because I don't want to buy something just cause it looks cool if I don't really need it.

So I'm looking for a handheld as good in emulation OR better than the original Modded Xbox, meaning MAME, NeoGeo and all that stuff at 100% plus more

thanks in advance
 
I would advise you to wait until the scene matures a little to see if it is for you to be honest. I personally enjoyed watching the gp32 and gp2x scenes mature over time getting regular updates to my favourite emulators and homebrew games, but that may not appeal to everyone.

At the moment there isnt much to do on it because only a few devs have units. So there isnt much software out yet, this will change over time of course.

At least until the wiz out performs the gp2x/psp you might not be happy with your purchase.
 
thanks man, but if it outperforms the PSP and equals or is better than the Xbox I might get one.
Is there any other reason to get this beside homebrew and emulation?

I was also thinking about Open Pandora, but that thing seems like a rip off, it seems like a tiny laptop running linux optimized for emulation and it's way too expensive.

A rip off in what way exactly?

it's too expensive and from what I can understand you can buy a fully functional laptop with better specs for around the same price maybe a tad more

Would you say a Pandora is worth investing in? Cause I wanted to buy that over the Wiz until people changed my mind

Can a laptop fit in your pocket? Does a laptop have gaming controls? The Pandora is not a laptop. I'd say it's a good deal considering.
You probably should wait and see. N64 emulation on the Wiz is highly unlikely, and it'll be a while on the Pandora. Most of the emulators available at launch you will probably already have on your PSP.
The Wiz seems to be best suited to homebrew and the Pandora to emulation.

It's debatable whether the wiz will have more power than the PSP, and even so it will probably have much less of a community around it. your devices seem to cover your needs in general.

well that was uncalled for
way to be an ass

It was totally called for.
First of all, and every fucking person who asks what to buy does this, why ask for fucking advice if you're going to make up bullshit excuses about things you don't even know about? Don't ask for advice if you aren't willing to listen.

You obviously did no research whatsoever on the Pandora or the Wiz
You post in the wrong forum, you insult a respected member, you demonstrate stubborness and ignorance, and your username is ShinigamiKiba.
Great start, but I think 'BleachWorld' is more at your level.

thanks to those who weren't being assholes, the rest of you can keep nerdraging
 
listen good you fat nerds... who cares about your shitty video game system. There is something a lot more fun and it's called pussy. You should go check that out but it might be a little pricier than your wannabe PSPs.

And to the queermo who said he was a "respected member of the community"... good job faggot. now try to contribute to society.

Pussy is easily emulated and not that expensive. All you need is porn. If emulating pussy is all you need, I'd recommend the old Gp2x instead of Wiz because it has bigger screen.

PROTIP: This ain't google. Learn to research.
