Title: GP2X Wiz and Gizmondo
Post by: KidA on April 20, 2012, 06:38:00 PM
Well, I was waiting to receive mine, seeing as I have, I think GamePark Holding's (successor to GamePark of the GP32) GP2X Wiz should be added to the database.  Although the Wiz is the second handheld released by GPH, it wasn't entirely an emulation and dlc-only device--two official games were released on SD cards.  Its predecessor, the GP2X, also saw the release of two "commercial" games, but they were developed and manufactured by supporters of the system and not necessarily supported by GPH, classifying them as home brew in my opinion.

Also, the Gizmondo is listed as the Tiger Gizmondo, not Tiger Telematics Gizmondo, which was in no way associated with the Hasbro company known for the uber Game.com, and other stand-alone handhelds. 

Let me know if this was of any help!

UPDATE: Here's a picture of my two aforementioned Wiz titles. They are both quasi-compilations--one main game with the addition of several classic games.  The first game was released in a plastic clam-shell type package, while the second, and last, game came in a sturdy black case similar to that of DS Games.

Do you guys need more information by chance?

Nope, I think that's enough information. I was just waiting to see if ApolloBoy was going to respond, since I believe he had information about the GP2X Wiz that was applicable. I'll send him a PM, and if he doesn't respond before the contest starts, I'll add the system to the database.

I don't know anything about the Wiz but I'd be in favor of adding it, even if it does only have two games.

Thanks Apollo. I thought we had rejected something for the GP2X previously that you were involved in, but I guess not.

Cool cool.  There were a number of downloadable games as well that can be added with a dlc variation tag I suppose.  Once the system is added I'll of course submit supplemental info. 
Will the contest be based solely on scans?

Contest is based on any type of site behavior, including posting, blogs, reviews, page edits, variation additions, scans, etc.
Things are just weighted differently based on what is most desirable for the year's contest. Details will be out shortly.

If it could be added during the contest, that would be great haha

Updated the database information and console name to display Tiger Telematics Gizmondo.
EDIT: GP2X Wiz added for Korea. Any other countries you want enabled for this right now?

To be honest I've kinda wanted a GP2X for awhile just to have a crap ton of emulated games on the go.

Stone me if you must.

I thought that's what a PSP was for?
