Well down to buisness, the Portable Game & Media Player from SuccessHK has been out a few months now but at a price of $109 and boasting NES, SNES & MD/SMC Emulation it sure is very interesting

Heres the ful spec/info:

JXD Preorders Being Taken at GP2X Store

Posted By: wraggster

The JXD301 a new console with several Homebrew developers already working on it is now available for preorder at a decent store rather than the like of dodgy ebay traders.

For those who need a reminder heres the specs:

Heres a quick detail of the console:

The JXD 301 has a LTPS TFT (Low Temperature Polysilicon Thin Film Transistor) screen, which allows for better screen performance than most other players. It can also play a large number of audio and video file types, most importantly RM/RMVB, which is growing in use due to is high compression/hi quality ratio, it also allows for FLV playback allowing users to download off sites like You Tube and watch the videos directly on this player. One of the nicest features is its ability to play NES, SNES, SMD, GBC, GBA and Neo Geo games.

Preorder this new Homebrew Console (with emulators already working) at GP2XStore , price $119

New SMS Plus Beta

Posted By: vbt

This new release uses the famous and incredible Faze by Fox68k. Some games like Sonic run 30% faster than before.

So, have a look at it but be aware that the Faze port to the Saturn may not be completely finished. Well, the compatibility is quite high.
