GamePark 32 Europe Release

[Lone_Monster]

Did the GP32 ever get one? From what I've heard, they never released it, but I saw this picture:

It doesn't look real, but is it?

That's just the box for the GamePark GP32 Blu ...

I've got 2 of them....

And yes it did get a European release.

Awesome... I want to buy one on eBay... but the seller only has 23 feedback... It's all positive, and most of them are from him selling...

Think I should go for it?

EDIT: And when I said it didn't look real, I meant the box looked pretty cheap... So I didn't think it was real.

I'd say go for it...

Just be aware that the newest GP32 blu's have a "fault" in them.
They use a new LCD screen that wasn't compatiable with the games and emulators that were already made for the system. So when you use those programs you get a small scrambled graphics "bar , line " across the top and bottom of the screen.

The developers have been working hard and are putting out newer versions of their programs to fix this , so it might not be an issue soon. But some programs stiil have the problem.

And for the record , the developers are calling the older compatiable Blu's "Blu" and the newer ones with the flaw "Blu+"

Thanks for the info. If I do go for it, and somehow win the auction, are there different emulators for each system, so if one doesn't work, i can use another? I'm mostly probably going to use it for Game Boy games, NGPC games, some other handheld games, and maybe some SNES games or something.

Her's the only place you need to visit for all your GP32 fixes. :-P

And yea there are different emulators now for the regular GP32's and the BLU+

When you d-load them just d-load the proper one. You'll know if you have the BLU+ if you d-load the regular emulator and you see the lines. Then just d-load the BLU+ version instead.

If you get one and ned help, feel free to AIM or PM me.
