I had heard about the build quality, and while it may not feel nice, as long
as it works, surely that's the important thing?

I'm put off of the PSP with the constant battle to hack the firmware to
allow homebrew. It gets hacked, Sony release new firmware, wait weeks for
hackers to hack it again, repeat ad infinitum.

I'll maybe have a look at the DS though.

But from a brief glance, the amount of Emus, and homebrew for the GPX2 looks
impressive. I'd love to have MAME and Spectrum stuff on a handheld. And the
video aspect appeals too.

Have you had a play with one? I've had a go on one or two (I'm a programmer
for a computer games company) and was very disappointed with the build
quality. You might be better off looking into the homebrew scenes for the
Nintendo DS or Sony PSP.

Cheers,

Kris.
