I am an old timer, I have grown with an Apple IIGS, Amiga, the old consoles, NES, SNES, Genesis etc... So it was an obvious choice for me. It does emulate a lot of old computers, consoles, plays MP3's, Videos, Photos and so much more. It has a Unix core and is made for homebrew development. Check it out: A good place to discuss about it: Regards, Alain Deschenes President and programmer ArianeSoft Inc. (http://www.arianesoft.ca) | ||

I had actually considered trying to get a GP32 at one point, though I'm not really sure how wide spread a release it had. Anyway, I think it would be great fun to develop for a GP2X. You should make a version of PPL for it  Eric Pankoke Founder Point Of Light Software http://www.polsoftware.com/ | ||

The C64 emulator is pretty good on the GP2X, in fact there are two. Frodo and Vice ports. The Amiga emulator is pretty darn good too. Talking about the Apple II, I have just ordered the 2006 back issues of Juiced GS magazine. I feel nostalgic these days for some reason.

Now there were a couple of fun computers. Eric Pankoke Founder Point Of Light Software http://www.polsoftware.com/ | ||

Apart from the experimental 4004 (4bit) this was the first microprocessor. Then I remember using an assembler/editor to program this, using a Digital minicomputer with 4Kb of core ram. This had to be bootstrapped by feeding the code in with a bank of front panel switches. Showing my age here. You only stop learning when you die.

So at this point we should port a game or something to ppl to give a tribute to that days! | ||

I've had every model all the way up to the 16 bit. Some where in the black holes of my house I think I still have an old sinclair, at least I think that's what it was called. Some where along the way I moved to Ibm compatibles. I always played with basic. I started to take a course in night classes at the local college for assembly but after the first one they dropped it for lack of interest and didn't consider two people enough for a class, so that was that.

I still have the book somewhere. Regards, Alain Deschenes President and programmer ArianeSoft Inc. (http://www.arianesoft.ca) | ||
