Gamepark GP2X F-200 DivX/Xvid-Playing Handheld With Emulator Now Available

Jason Chen — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 16:00:20 EDT

The crazy GP2X F-200 Gamepark handheld is available today for $169 on Play-Asia. What's so special about this handheld? For one, it's running Linux and can play back DivX, XVid and MPEG4 at 30FPS, or TV-Out your movies that are encoded at 720x480. For two, it supports emulation, which means you can load your old ROMs on there and play NES/SNES and other retro games you download for free off the internet. So in essence, you could be playing Super Mario 3 and watching that Fred Savage movie about Super Mario 3 on the same device! Did we mention that it was only $169? [Play Asia via DCEmu]

Gamepark GP2X Available in U.S.

Wait, wait, wait. Stop the presses—we don't actually use presses, but you know what I mean—something a bit epic is happening here. Remember the Gamepark GP2X? Yeah, that Korean game and portable media player. Well, it is coming to the states, baby. This is probably the first Korean gadget in the history of the world to actually make it to the states—not really, but with the mass amount of Korea-only gadgets coming out, it seems like it.

For a refresher, the GP2X shines because it is actually powered by Linux and encourages home-brew creations. It also includes a video player capable of MPEG, MPEG-4, DivX and XviD playback via SD memory. Dynamism is the lovely company making this device available to the U.S., and they are hocking it for $200. Not too shabby for a PMP and a gaming handheld. – Travis Hudson

Gamepark XPG, XPG Mini Announced

The strange thing about the Gamepark is that it exists at all. However, its very existence is a testament to the weakness of other players in the handheld gaming world, including our friends at the late, great Gizmondo.

That said, there are two new Gameparks hitting the streets, the XPG and XPG Mini. The XPG has an SD card slot, Wi-Fi, and a DMB video tuner. The mini is much smaller and has no Wi-Fi. Both of them are open source and run all manner of games, including multiple emulators. The XPG will be about $300 while the Mini is about $150.
