About Me
Hi, my name is Matt, but you can call me doctor insidious, because that is much more awesome.
My top ten games:
10. SBCG4AP

I am one of the few people who actually know how to program in this world. And by program I mean know how to use pointers.

#include <stdio.h>

#define COCKS 0

int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
printf("Hi I'm doctor insidious\n"
"This is the most useless program I have ever seen\n");
return COCKS;
}

GP2X WIZ Unboxing! Yay!
doctor insidious | 7:11 PM on 05.19.2009 8 comments


Well guess what arrived today? It's my GP2X Wiz (that I waited like three months for)! Here is a video I made of unboxing this beauty, I hope you like! I know you guys hate blogs with just a single video in them, so I put a review in here as well. Sorry for the low quality, had a lot of trouble doing this covertly. I'm especially sorry for the grammar mistake in the beginning, I'm not having a "smart" day.

Review:
The Wiz is really great, very well worth your money. All the complaints I have heard of Wiz seem so completely invalid to me; the issues with the dpad is totall BS, the screen tearing issue is unnoticeable, and, um, I can't think of any other known issues. In the video I mention that the touch screen is solid, and wow, does that really help when playing games. The fact that it's open source means that I'm soon going to be able to take my entire collection of sonic games on the road, thanks to a large community ready to make emulator after emulator for it. In fact, I'm considering taking a PS2 emulator, shaving it down until it can only play one specific game at full speed, and dub it as "Katamari Player", so I can take that too on the go.
But I'm rambling now. It's an easy 9/10.

Score: 9 -- Superb (9s are a hallmark of excellence. There may be flaws, but they are negligible and won't cause massive damage to what is a supreme title.)

I heard there was tearing on the screen when scrolling, is that true?

Also I hope you were joking about the PS2 thing. PCs 100 times more powerful than that thing can't emulate the PS2 correctly

Would be nice to have a portable cps2 player for 2d fighters but it seems a bit pricey especially with the issues i've read in a few reviews.

I got my Wiz this weekend too and so far I'm loving it.

The screen tearing isn't that bad but it is noticeable for fast scrolling games like Sonic, but even still, its mostly negligible in my opinion.

and the CPS2 emu works great, I'm loving me some "Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix" right now. haha.

Yah, the screen tearing is somewhat noticable on fast scrollig, but I am almost certain that it will be fixed in a future update.
