Damn it. I wrote a long response in this thread, but I accidentaly pressed Ctrl+Q and closed the browser. The short version of the answer is here:
@JB: Emulation of 8-bit machines is very good in GP32. It also emulates decently some 16-bit machines (DrMD emulator for Sega Genesis - Megadrive works perfectly with sound, the SNES emulator works ok without sound). I tried an old version of the MAME emulator, and it was a bit slow, but recent versions claim to be much faster.
I will also be definitely getting a GPx2 when it's released. It will simply be the perfect emulation - multimedia machine.
