MP4 Game Player Question
 

Hi I'm new to the forum here, and just had a quick question about a number of postings coming up on ebay: PMP Game Player 3" 260K TFT Mp3 Mp4 Camera Cinema MG5.


I noticed there were a couple of posts about these before, but I'm wondering if anyone has purchased one of these, and if they're any good? I've asked a couple of the sellers about specific functions (namely the fact that it supposedly emulates 16 bit roms) but there's been a number of communication issues. If anyone has any info it'd be great, thanks in advance.

GODVer3 , i recall a post on such a player sometime back, but i couldn't find it. Anyway, the poster could not get the other additional functions working. It seems that the firmware does not contain any of the additional functions besides the basic music, video, radio, picture playback.

Be sure to check with the seller's return policy should you purchase it and decide to return for a refund.

i'll try to locate that post and reply here if i find it.

hi GODver3, i just ordered 2 1gb blackhawk from Uxcell so i should be able to let you know in the next few weeks...

GODVer3,

If you want a TRUE gaming console that emulates roms, you are best to take a look at the GP2X.

It's an open source, Linux based gaming console.

I have one of these and it works great!
It can emulate MAME and heaps of other emulators as well as play DivX movies, MP3's etc...

Have a look at the website: http://www.gp2x.com.

I've taken a look at the GP2X and frankly, it looks amazing. My only problem is actually getting one, as I don't have a credit card (just a paypal account). Do you know of any good sellers in the states or Canada that would accept paypal? Thanks in advance (looks soooo cool!)

OMG! I WAN THAT!
But it's AUD$404 for the value pack.. damn...

GODVer3, i've found 2 sites which accepts paypal as payment. They are the official distributors closes to you.
US: http://www.gp2xstore.com
Canada: http://www.gamersection.ca

GODVer3,

Game Asylum has them on their site. They are based in the USA.

Click on the "GamePark" link on the left hand side or do a search for "GP2X".

Hope that helps.

GODVer3,

I also have one, I got mine last summer, it's pretty useful and you'll want to buy this more than a Black Hawk because this one has a community of people updating games to it EVERYDAY (lol nice all caps warning) It's always improving it's got a well working mame emu like the admin has said, also it has a great SNES emu (squigesnes) Sega Genesis emu (DRMDx) GBC emu(gnuboy) a Flash Flayer (Pocket Flash) and best of all, an in development (but still some great titles working such has Resident Evil & Silent Hill) PSX emulator (Gp2psx) idk if I missed anything but yea if you want a preview of the games they have just check this wonderful comm. http://archive.gp2x.de/cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi

oh yeah, only drawback to it, is that you're definitely gonna wanna buy a 4 or 8gb SD card to fit all your games n movies n muze on.

Also Rechargeable batts. HIGHEST mAh 2500 or 2600 if you can find 'em

here are some helpful links:

Re: MP4 Game Player Question
 

To answer your question about the GAME MP4 player (the OEM ones from china) : i have two of them lying at home, and i must say i'm impressed with them !!
First of all, the screen quality is wonderful ! Much better than the nano clone mp4 players, and with 2.5" QVGA (320 * 240 i think although the manual says 960 * 480 ??) resolution and perfect contrast. Ideal for viewing a movie !
Next, it hasn't crashed since i used it the first time (2 weeks ago) which is also a good point.
You have the basic functionalities like probably mentioned in the ebay ad : mp3 playing, movie playing (mine does .asf format). Also it has a tv-out (all cables included) and you can even record from a movie source through a AV-in connector (using the same cable). Ofcourse you can also record music through the line-in connector.
Next, it has a digital camera built-in : don't expect super quality (think its a 0,3 mpixel) but it still is neat to use it : there are some filters built-in like negative, sepia colors. Also you have a 4x digital zoom, but of-course no flash, so shooting at dark places is not possible.
Next, it has a built-in speaker, that doesn't go that loud, but enough to play games on it ... see below.

And last but not least, you can play all nintendo 8bit games (.nes) easily available on the net. Like donkey-kong, mario bros ... the classics from the 80's ;)

Oh yes, i almost forgot : you can get them with internal memory of 512mb, 1GB or 2GB (maybe also the 4gb, i'm not sure) but you can also expand memory through the built-in sd memory card slot.

Any more questions, don't hesitate to ask !

Re: MP4 Game Player Question
 

Well, I'd already purchased one before I'd asked the questions (impatience...) but I'll post a review once I get it for anyone wondering about these. I've been looking around, and while the GP2X seems a little beyond my price range, there's a number of others I'm looking at, specifically the Gemei X720 or X900 and the Ainol X1000. Beyond that I haven't been able to find much, expect for the fact that the majority of these model player (GAME PMP) are manufactured by Shenzhen Sandshine, and on their website are several conflicting reports. Anyways, will update in a few days.
Cheers
Liam

ps Intrabrew...16 bit snes or md??
