GP2X Wiz handheld gaming emulator reviewed

Remember the GP2X Wiz I wrote about a couple weeks ago? It’s been reviewed by Rob at Boing Boing Gadgets. The verdict: pricey, but pretty much totally worth it if you’ve got the moolah.

There’s apparently a little bit of framerate slowdown with more recently-released arcade and SNES games, for instance, but most of the old classics run like buttah. The thing is tiny, too — smaller than a Nintendo DS — while the screen remains bright and colorful and “the ambidextrous d-pad stylings of the buttons aren’t a problem.”
