Nothing better than playing in the middle of the day on the JR, not having to worry about the glare! Sucks that they took it out of the Caanoo...

Does this play original GP32 games? Curiosity always got me about stuff like "Tomak: Save The Earth Again", "Her Knights" and "DyHard With Infinite Stairs". Was obsessed with getting a GP32 for a short period back in 2004 (when I read that Insert Credit writeup about its games) but that faded upon DS/PSP's release.

And the funny thing about gamepark hardware is what they're always almost awesome. The Wiz has a proper d-pad! but the face buttons are like a second d-pad. The Caannoo has regular buttons! but there is an analog stick and no d-pad :-\ The analog stick does look like the one on the Tapwave Zodiac and that wasn't too bad after you set a really tiny dead zone.

I already have more handheld games than I can finish in the next several years. Or am I missing the point?

The face buttons on the WIZ work a lot better then you might think by looking at it.

Post by: originalz on August 28, 2010, 11:42:44 AM: Yeah, FunGP not working is pretty annoying, although they're supposed to fix it soon. I can't even get the software to recognize my WIZ at the moment!
