I have one and use it all the time. It emulates the following consoles almost to perfection:

Megadrive/Genesis
PC Engine
C64
Atari ST
NES
ZX Spectrum
Atari 800/5200

The following are getting there, but are still considered works in progress:

SNES
Atari 2600


MAME was just released last sunday, and although it´s showing signs of great potential there´s still a long way to go.

There´s a perfect port of DOOM on the GP32 also. You can watch movies on it btw.

I´d say go for it. An alternative could be the Zodiac, but I haven´t tried it out personally so I won´t comment on it.

I have one but because it's not back-lit I don't use it that much any more. The Atari ST emulator plays Pang very well but not Sensible Soccer due to emulation not being quite 100%.

There are also some hardware/software compatiblity problems with the BLU+ model, so watch out.

I got a BLU late last year - Though I must admit that I don't use it that much. to be honest (as I don't work), I spend a lot fo time using the PC and XBox for emulation anyway. It's just nice to have a GP32 for the odd ocassion when we travel long distances.

I use mine a fair bit.

The movie players real nice, and I use the NES and C64 emu's, I got the non blue backlit one I is most spendid, got mine from http://www.gbax.com, seam a good bunch, mine also overclocks to 166Mhz which is also a bonus....


Its a great bit of kit and the screen is way bigger than the GBA.
