I purchased a GP2X-F200 a few days ago and had it delivered 2nd day FedEx. Delivery was right on time so I can take it with me on a short vacation to New Orleans (close to my hometown of Covington).
So far I am not overly impressed with it, but I will have to play with it for a while to figure it out. My initial impressions are:Pros:
- Large Screen
- Comfortable size
- SHDC comparability (with 4.0 firmware)
Cons:
- Screen quality (horizontal banding in movies- but may need to be re-encoded)
- Button quality; d-pad is 'mushy' and my B button sticks quite often
- Overall build quality (for example, the A and Y buttons are reversed on the unit I have- and the rubber port covers are cheap).
- Non-rechargeable battery/short battery life
- Game Configuration; not all emulators work correctly- I cannot even get MAME4ALL to start! (but I may need to install another library?)
- Spotty manual; the manual I have is for both units- the F100 and F200- and apparently there is a 'USB' feature in the F100 that does not exist in the F200!
