Just Got a GP2X

cowsgoquack101 - that is classed as piracy, as it could be regarded that your friend might have bought it if you didn't give him a copy; also you making a copy of it is also illegal, as you have "copied it from one format to another". I'm no angel, no-one is, it just means you "need to keep it to yourself".

You're right, my bad.

Yeah, I remember using Mame wayyyy back when it was in like version .16 or something like that. I think it played less than 100 games back then. It was 2000, and I found mame while looking for a way to play Metal Slug. Obviously could'nt play that game on Mame back then, little did I know it would be coming in just a couple years... Now of course I have a job and so I just got a Neo Geo arcade board, did a little hacking, and now I have a Metal Slug of my own!

I just bought a GP2X and i got it today. Can you guys suggest some good Emulators and ROMS.

I know how to work the thing i just don't know what ROMS and emulators i should put on it. Thaaaanks!

I would like to see a Gp2X running Secret of Mana, Seiken Densetsu 3, and Tales of Phantasia. If I slapped down the $160 for one of these things, I'd mostly be using it as a way to play fan-translated roms on the go. But can it play those games as good as ZSNES on an average PC? I remember having a dinky lil Win 98 with a Celeron and it playing ZSNES just perfect.

It really can't. SoM runs fairly smoothly, and Seiken Densetsu 3 will boot, and it runs very near fullspeed with transparencies turned off, but unfortunately, you need 'em to beat the game. As for ToP, don't even try. PSP's SNES9XTYL runs these games pretty well, more speedily than the GP2x does, at least.
