I own these systems and wanted to know if anyone here got one besides me and also wanted to know if you use yours for emulating classic games.
If you do, what are the best games that you play on your system.
heres where you can get one if you don't have these awsome handhelds.
GP32: www.lik-sang.com, www.gbax.com
Tapwave Z: www.tapwave.com (or at CompUSA or J&R retail Stores)

I've been wondering is there any place where you can still buy gp32 games?

Id go here, http://www.gamepark.com/eng/games/games.asp
find the game you want and do a http://www.Froogle.google.com search for it. (If that answers your question...were you asking about local retail stores?)
I dont have one but do you think that for emulation, the Zodiac was worth the extra $$? Ive been looking at the both for a while but I may go ahead and just wait for a DS specific emu device now that I have a DS.

I've bought them from lik-sang.com in the past. You can also find the overclocked BLU systems at gbax.com

Thanks, yet liksang only has some 3 games left, and these games aren't as easy to come by like the wonderswan games.

I've got both :D
I use the GP32 for Genesis, and Snes Emulation. My GP32 is overclocked to 200mhz so both of these run Full Speed w/sound and no frameskip.
I use my Tapwave for Nes emulation and for all the awesome Palm games... The screen is bigger and a lot brighter and the sound is better. If the Snes and Genesis Emulation is better in the next LGZ I will be using it exclusively.... :)

Well if you get where you want it done. I could do it for around $20 shipped in the U.S or $30 from the U.K.

Thank you'll for replying this is my first post so I did not know it would go this well.
I got my GP32 BLU at gbax.com mine is overclocked all ready to 220 Mhz.
My Tapwave Zodiac is also alsome, if there is more software availible for it, it will stand out but right now, the GP32 is on top. I see potential in the tapwave zodiac, so to all developer out here look in to the zodiac, the price is dropping more, and more so there is no reason not to develop this thing.
Thanx
