im really hyped about this console, i'been using my PSP for emulation for like 5 years now and i would love to have something a little bit better, i really wonder if n64 playable is possible at all, if not i think that 120 dollars is a bargain anyway, i can't wait  ;D

I feel the same way. Heck, I'm even hoping someone can figure out Dreamcast emulation for the Zero. The buttons would be perfect for it. Of course another open handheld, Pandora, can do it so it's not beyond the scope of possibility.

I'm not expecting miracles but I'm wishfully thinking along the same lines as how PSX emulation "worked" on the a320, i.e.- barely, but gave us a nice preview of good things to come.

I doubt local "shops" will sell anywhere!  U could purchase online and GCW plans to ship "worldwide" as their name suggests. 
So to answer your question, "no" shops wont sell in Europe.  But, "yes" you can order online and have it delivered to ur home in Europe.  ;D

If i recall correctly, some months ago GCW said that they were looking for resellers. I think it was one reseller per country...

I dont think we will see dreamcast on it. Dreamcast emulation isn't perfect even on a pc. Its pretty close though

GCW Zero

@ruff
First, welcome to the club buddy! Congrats on the preorder!

Second, for me it's all about psx, gb/gbc/gba, nes/snes, tg16/pce, gamegear and genesis. N64 would be awwwesome if it happens, if not, no biggie. Good psx emulation would be dope though - i get pretty decent results from my caanoo (nothing else even comes close really except maybe the pandora but c'mon haha), but even the earliest prototype video qbert shot with crash bandicoot psx looks pretty damn promising that when optimized and ready, the gcw will blow the caanoo out of the water (also the dingoos as well. A320/330/380 don't really stand that much of a chance in my mind, although their following is huge)

I've been using my PSP for years to play PSX, Sega, SNES, GBA, NES games but Daedalusx64 just doesn't work for me as an emulator.  I basically just want to play OOT and MM with good speed and sound.  Ideally with the GCW I would like something that could run these emulators, but be able to run games that my PSP can't run well or I have to use liberal amounts of frame skipping.  Super Mario RPG, Kirby, Golden Sun, DKC.  Even Chrono Trigger has terrible slowdown, especially with full screen techs like Lightning 2.  The background during the final boss makes the emulator chug so badly that the music is atrocious. My wish list for the GCW would be: SNES full speed, N64 at a good playable speed with sound, and PSX with the ability to handle FFVII, FFIX, Chrono Cross, etc.

@Dexidus  cheers matey.. I can't wait now lol started playing me caanoo again and forgot how cool it was lol,
I got a PM from gcw so it looks like I made the SE version woop  8)

See how well duke nukem worked I'm hoping it can play the Starship Troopers Conversion that is a really nice add on,
I agree PSX flawless would be great and N64 would not go a miss.. optamistic with dreamcast all though it runs not bad on Android....

I'm very sure that GCW will have a massive following just like dingoo  8)

BTW Do you think it will be overclockable?

it's almost too bad because this is MIPS processor instead of ARM, it would be cool if lots of the software from the pandora was portable. PCSX rearmed is damn near perfect PSX IMO. Maybe the ARM assembly can be translated over, or other interesting project will pop up. mupen is also a pretty advanced n64 emulator for ARM

Qbertaddict said it's default underclocked to 800mhz, chipset standard 1Ghz, overclockable to 1.1Ghz iirc

I just hope to see SNES fullspeed on the Zero. If it is powerful enough for that, then it is powerful enough for everything else.

The SNES emulation requires even more power than neo-geo, or even CPS2. I would even bet that if SNES is fullspeed, then the Zero will be also capable of emulating PSX at fullspeed. Not sure about N64, though, but i'm not really interested on that console.

The only bad thing about the Zero is the lack of marketing/advertising. It is a very promising device, but almost no one out there has ever heard about it.

I'm not so sure: Front Mission- SNES, unofficial english translation- runs fine in PocketSnes on dingoo (both OD and native) while in PocketSnes on caanoo (both fast and accurate binaries) it doesn't
