GPX2 makes retro gaming portable

gpx2.gif

With the Nintendo Wii's virtual console promising loads of retro-gaming glory, playing our favorite games from childhood has been floating around our brains quite a bit lately. However, the Wii isn't the only game in town for emulation. In fact, you can load up the new GPX2 portable with emulated games and play them to your hearts content, and you won't even need to pay to download them. Because the GPX2 runs open-source Linux, you can download any number of ROM emulation files from the internet and play them on the device. In addition to the games, you can watch DivX videos, read eBooks, listen to music in any number of formats, and view photos. You can even hook it up to your TV to play Mega Man in full screen glory, just like you remember it. Sounds good to us. The GPX2 is available online now for $190.
