lol
I'll try and find the forum / newspost for you
EDIT: Windows 95 CAN be run but so far only through DOSBOX Ie Linux -> Dos emulator -> install Windows... I imagine that would be very slow for running games though. I remember seeing something similar on the psp that only ran at about 10fps lol
However a search and translate of the korean and dev sections of the sites reveal the following quote: "since the GP2X can boot from SD cards, theoretically the GP2X could run any OS adapted for it". I would imagine that it won't be too long before we see a version of windows, I have read of many developpers trying to port dos, windows and even amiga 1200 os to it - however these are only threads about people "trying" or "planning to" - a case of wait and see I reckon, its still early days.
I found this quote on the Spanish forum (babelfished)
"a PC emulator is possible. Bochs is very slow because it translates instruction to instruction, but is another project for linux much working but fast, that temporarily keeps the sequences from translated instructions I reach a very good performance
qemu (http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/)"
Many people have got Win95 and dso workingbut at VERY slow framerates, and claim its impossible to do any more. a few people claim there are other ways to do it faster. apparatnly Win 95 at the moment takes about 15-20mins to boot though lol oh well we'll see if it happens. In most cases if a game is popular enough it'll be ported to Linux, and then its a lot easier to get iot running with better framerates
Unfortunatley two negative peices of information I found out searching, not sure how I missed them before,
1. the gp2x will NOT be backwardly compatible with gp32 software (although most of that is open source so it won't be long beofre its all ported) but in a way this is positive as emulators and games can be written specifically take advantage of the new spec.
2. the gp2x does NOT have an analogue stick as such, it actually has 12 sensors to simulate analogue with 24 directions.
BIG News: It seems I was slightly confused. The GP2X is not the only sucessor to the GP32 coming out, there is another console due late 2006 called the XGP which
has a 3d accelerator and can already run Quake 3 engine perfectly
Apparantly the team who made the original gp32 split into 2 teams and built a console each. The GP2x aimed mostly at homebrew, and emulators, the XGP aimed at developing commercial games to rival the PSP. The XGP will ship with a SDK just like the GP2X but will be more focused at building commercial games, not homebrew. I'll most probably buy both, they both look awesome and I think its important to support such independant ventures
