Saturday, August 8. 2009A new developer for the Gp2x Wiz console !![]() ![]() Hi, In january 2007 i joined the gp2x scene, thanks to David from gp2xstore.com who kindly offered and sent me a gp2x-F100. It was a really nice experience to develop homebrews for this nice piece of hardware running my favorite operating system (i mean linux of course). ![]() Without him, i would have never done anything on this console since i was already busy with PSP stuff. The good news is that i will soon join the Gp2x Wiz scene because David from gp2xstore did it again ! For those who doesn't known anything about gp2x Wiz, let's say that it is one of the most powerful portable console, two times faster than a PSP with a linux based kernel, dedicated to homebrews and emulators (see gp2x Wiz on wikipedia) Thanks again, Zx |
