I got my GP32 this morning. But I have a dilemma. Wait til I get home to start playing. Or risk getting a bollocking for setting it up on my work PC.

There's lots of managment milling around today too.

It doesnt seem like a good idea. But then I REALLY want to play.
Posted by jlittle, 10:49, 19th June 2003:
 
play on it man
Posted by cal, 10:56, 19th June 2003:

Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 11:00, 19th June 2003:
 
So would I, but i am responsible.

oh that thing, I don't like it, too many illegal games for it and not enough legal games
Posted by Sul, 11:48, 19th June 2003:
 
I'm more impressed with the divx playback capability and the mp3 player side of it. But if I can play pokemon on it thats a bonus too.
Posted by chris, 11:51, 19th June 2003:
 
that's cool :)
Posted by beargod, 11:51, 19th June 2003:
 
it has divx playback and mp3 capabilities? cool, better then what I thought it was then
Posted by Sul, 11:56, 19th June 2003:

Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 12:00, 19th June 2003:

Posted by beargod, 12:03, 19th June 2003:

James: gbax
Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 12:09, 19th June 2003:
 
100 portions of chips...hmm, I am hungry now.
Posted by jlittle, 12:12, 19th June 2003:
 
hmm, did you shop about first sul?
Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 12:13, 19th June 2003:

Posted by Sul, 12:14, 19th June 2003:
 
I know you can buy them elsewhere but the guy mods them with a backlight for you so I wanted that.

Also I ordered at 1 oclock yesterday and the postman came a-knocking with it this morning.

"*Wirelessly link upto 4 GP32s*"

mmmm, doom 2 linkage
Posted by jlittle, 12:31, 19th June 2003:
 
Another amazing emulator is that of the Lucas Arts SCUMMV engine which allows the GP32 to run all the classic adventure games such as the monkey island series, Indiana Jones series, Day of the tentacle, the dig, etc. etc. and yes, it includes the speech sound support (how could you play day of the tentacle without it :)!


Man, im wetting my pants thinking about this :P
Posted by beargod, 12:41, 19th June 2003:
 
I just played day of the tentacle the other day, now that is a brilliant game :)
Posted by jlittle, 12:43, 19th June 2003:
 
it is indeed - classic :)
Posted by Grim...2, 13:24, 19th June 2003:

Posted by jlittle, 13:29, 19th June 2003:
 
Sul - you are a biatch - I just spent £200 on one of these and the add ons ;(
Posted by Grim..., 13:40, 19th June 2003:

Posted by jlittle, 13:44, 19th June 2003:

I got it in black tthough. *smile*
Posted by Sul, 14:00, 19th June 2003:
 
We have possible clients coming round this afternoon. Trying to set it up here would be pretty much the same as trying to get a blow job off a lion. I'll have to wait til I get home. :(
Posted by beargod, 14:07, 19th June 2003:
 
Nov, I want proof, take a pic whilst you are wearing it :)
Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 14:07, 19th June 2003:
 
BJ from a lion....hmmmm...not a nice thought really.
Posted by November Eclectica, 14:10, 19th June 2003:
 
I will take a picture, but as to showing it ... you better ask Foggie. :)
Posted by beargod, 14:11, 19th June 2003:
 
I bet you would enjoy it Sul
Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 14:11, 19th June 2003:
 
Simple answer - No. :D
Posted by beargod, 14:19, 19th June 2003:

Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 14:20, 19th June 2003:
 
I could make it more complicated if you wish?
Posted by jlittle, 14:23, 19th June 2003:
 
Sul - do u know anywhere to get ROMS from nowdays?
Posted by beargod, 14:23, 19th June 2003:
 
yeah that would be better, cos then I wouldn't understand you and I would think you were coming on to me and to cut a long story short it would mean yes :)
Posted by Sul, 14:25, 19th June 2003:
 
"Sul - do u know anywhere to get ROMS from nowdays?"

nope
Posted by beargod, 14:26, 19th June 2003:
 
search for Rom and the name of the console/pc you are looking for in google, thats how I used to do it
Posted by jlittle, 14:33, 19th June 2003:
 
Yeah, i just don't want to run into any porn sites beagod :)
Posted by beargod, 14:34, 19th June 2003:
 
that is true, I don't know then, eat something other then salad, that will help you
Posted by November Eclectica, 14:36, 19th June 2003:
 
Good answer Foggie.
Posted by jlittle, 14:38, 19th June 2003:
 
i havn't had salad today cos i didnt have 1.30 on me - i have had a packed of crips today, that is all, and im starved!
Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 14:41, 19th June 2003:

Posted by jlittle, 15:06, 19th June 2003:

Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 15:14, 19th June 2003:

Posted by beargod, 15:15, 19th June 2003:

Posted by November Eclectica, 15:23, 19th June 2003:
 
LOL at beargod. That is why to much info.

He doesn't have them yet, but he will get them after next week along with his pressie.
Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 15:28, 19th June 2003:

Posted by jlittle, 15:32, 19th June 2003:
 
lol @ beargod - dont think your gf will be too happy with that? :P
Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 15:34, 19th June 2003:
 
Unless she wants to give a helping 'hand' :D
Posted by beargod, 15:37, 19th June 2003:

Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 15:38, 19th June 2003:
 
Well done BG's gf *golf clap*
Posted by jlittle, 15:40, 19th June 2003:
 
I thought everyone liked porn, just not everyone admits to it!
Posted by November Eclectica, 18:59, 19th June 2003:
 
I like porn, there is nothing wrong with it.
Posted by Sul, 09:46, 20th June 2003:
 
Ok. I waited. It was hard, but I waited and oh what beauty the machine holds. The Doom port is spectacular and the spectrum emulator runs great! (sound is a little iffy)

I spent my train journey in this morning playing Trapdoor and Dizzy.

Oh the joy :D

Had some trouble getting any of the free movie players to work so might fork out £3 for the commercial one (moviepark).
Posted by beargod, 09:55, 20th June 2003:
 
sounds cool dude
Posted by Sul, 10:00, 20th June 2003:
 
You have no idea. I'm gonna whip it out (the GP32 that is) in the pub tonight and watch all the women come-a flocking. I'll be like Fonzie only I wont have to click. I just pull out my cock extension GP32 and BAM! I'm getting laid in the toilets.... err... with a ladie.
Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 10:05, 20th June 2003:
 
..whilst playing Trapdoor!
Posted by Sul, 10:12, 20th June 2003:
 
Well lets face it, it'll be a the only reason she's sleeping with me.

"Oh Sul, open the trapdoor, you turn me on so much when you go against the rules"
"I dont know... the song says there's something down there"
"Live dangerously, Sul. Go on!"
"Ok, just for you baby, here goes..."
*opens trapdoor*
"...argh loads of worms have comes out"
"Quick! Gather them up and put them in that tin! Go on Sul you havnt got much time. While you do that I'll suck you off"

mmmmm
Posted by beargod, 10:15, 20th June 2003:
 
Dude, you have one hell of a time tonight in your GP32 pub scoring place, If I had one I would come and join you, Where do you live Sul, we can't be that far away from each other
Posted by Sul, 10:34, 20th June 2003:
 
I live in glorious Swanscombe.
Its not that close to you.
Posted by beargod, 10:38, 20th June 2003:
 
Its around an hour away, thats nothing, its closer to me then Cal, and he will be about 2 hours away from me
Posted by Sul, 10:43, 20th June 2003:
 
An hour's nothing when you're playing Trapdoor!
Posted by beargod, 10:51, 20th June 2003:
 
indeed
Posted by beargod, 10:52, 20th June 2003:
 
have you got the Hobbit on the spec emulator yet?
Posted by Sul, 10:57, 20th June 2003:
 
not on the GP32.

"kill sam"

ahhh the memories
Posted by Victor Menendez, 20:09, 22nd June 2003:
 
Don't try to "kill Gandalf" ffs
Posted by jlittle, 07:39, 23rd June 2003:
 
I've been playing it a bit - not 100% certain on it yet tbh - it's great playing donkey kong country on the snes emulator, however it doesn't seem to save my game - maybe it's me doing something wrong!

Also - i want to play DOTT, but it's monster file is over 200mb - so you need a pretty big card to play it (i only got a 128mb one), but overall, once I work out if you can save things, it's pretty impressive.

Just need to find a decent roms site now!
Posted by Sul, 09:56, 23rd June 2003:
 
What snes emu you using? Perhaps saving's not built into it yet. Maybe you should write it in ;)

The gameboy one works cool too but what's really giving me a raging hardon at the moment is the master system/game gear emulator. It works really well and plays at full speed.

And I havent stolen 1 game yet!!!

I'll shut up now as this will start to get annoying.
Posted by jlittle, 10:29, 23rd June 2003:
 
we should keep this thread as an overall talk on gp32's, i guess we could use email instead though!

Have you updated your firmware yet? faq.gp32emu.com/ has a good guide on how to do it, so im gonna give it a go later (just need to buy some new batteries just incase!) I don't like the built in GUI, so would rather change to Windup on startup, and having an addressbook built it is pretty handy.

I also found out that you can encode your monster.sco fie into a different format, so you can get them to fit onto the 128mb smart cards, which is cool - want to try and get a copy of Indiana Jones and the fate of Atlantis - i used to love that game and will be good fun playing it on a handheld!
Posted by jlittle, 10:38, 23rd June 2003:
 
btw, although i don't endource it at all, have a gander at :

www.emu-nation.com/main/downloads/
Posted by beargod, 10:41, 23rd June 2003:
 
I love the fact most of them are nitendo consoles plus a megadrive and a neo geo:)
Posted by jlittle, 12:37, 23rd June 2003:
 
performed the flash update sucessfully.
Posted by jlittle, 13:22, 23rd June 2003:
 
changed to a different SNES Emu - also installed the GB one so that I can play pokemon.
Posted by Victor Menendez, 17:16, 23rd June 2003:
 
Hang on a sec, how can you "Kill Sam" in the Hobbit?
Posted by Sul, 17:20, 23rd June 2003:
 
I got it wrong again didnt I :'(
Posted by Sul, 17:21, 23rd June 2003:
 
I'm thinking LOTR arent I?
Posted by Victor Menendez, 17:21, 23rd June 2003:
 
:(
Posted by Victor Menendez, 17:21, 23rd June 2003:
 
Yep, you can "kill Gloin" though, just don't try to kill Gandalf.
Posted by Sul, 17:32, 23rd June 2003:
 
I ROCK!

You are in a gloomy empty land with dreary hills ahead
To the west there is the round green door
Visible exits are: east north northeast
You see:
Thorin
Thorin waits

+KILL THORIN

You attack Thorin.
But the effort is wasted. His defense is too strong
Thorin attacks you.
With one well placed blow Thorin cleaves your skull.
You are dead
You have mastered 2.5% of this adventure.
Posted by Victor Menendez, 17:35, 23rd June 2003:
 
Good work, now go for Gandalf.
Posted by beargod, 19:27, 23rd June 2003:
 
You are the master
Posted by jlittle, 08:35, 24th June 2003:
 
I've now got Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantas working (kinda)
Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 08:45, 24th June 2003:
 
Good work there Sul!
Posted by jlittle, 08:49, 24th June 2003:
 
what game was that sul?
Posted by Sul, 08:53, 24th June 2003:
 
The motherfucking Hobbit baby!
Posted by Sul, 08:56, 24th June 2003:
 
I kick arse at that game!
Posted by jlittle, 09:11, 24th June 2003:
 
ah
Posted by jlittle, 12:42, 7th July 2003:
 
Sul - how you getting on with your gp32 then?

have a look at this :

users.skynet.be/firefly/gp32/project/gp3...

should be good when avalible!
Posted by cryptcat, 17:17, 8th July 2003:
 
I use my PC at work with my GP32... just gotta make sure no one is looking!!!
Posted by November Eclectica, 18:14, 8th July 2003:
 
I have never been into computer games or video games. I just can't sit in front of a computer that long. I enjoy being outside to much.

I don't watched much TV either. If it is a movie, then I will watch it or listen to music.

I'm just posting to post, so don't mind me.
