I got an email from GCW stating that if I my pre-order went through, then I was good. I then received a follow up email stating that my pre-order has been confirmed, and that it was from a canceled pre-order.

Fast reply -- Awesome! I'm assuming not many are left.

With the small amount of videos already out, we have a great idea of what Zero is capable of.  :)  Zero and GCWs potential is immense and i look forward to whatever surprises they have ahead.

Remember, Zero is comparable to Dingoo hardware but with Pandora power, and will be running OD!  Essensially, we have a beefed up Dingoo that has the potential of running anything Dingoo could, plus running many of what could run on Pandora (with alot of work).  GCW is focused on making this a retro-gaming device.  Many have gotten on board because of this, but in the future, Zero could be a great PMP, maybe have web browser, email checker, who knows??   Its potential will be whatever the community wants, and that could be many things!  But all them, Exciting!!   ;D

This handheld has inspired me to learn C++. It is slow going but I plan to develop for it as a hobby.

The Grassroots Gaming Expo didn't meet their funding target. Is the event still going to go forward?

If it doesn't, that sucks because now I found out I might be able to take time off work and go up there.

Pardue- this is straight from their site dated Aug 1, "Our IndieGoGo fundraiser wrapped up this past weekend, and it was a huge success! It may have not met the goal we set, but we did raise some funds and it definitely helped to get the word out about Grassroots Gaming Expo!"  On Aug 23rd, they posted a picture contest, It seems like the expo is still on!!

I don't get it, did you contribute under a different screen name? If you're referring to gcwnow, props to him for contributing, but I thought that's just someone on the forums, I don't think it's GCW.

Even though I can take time off and go, I don't think I will because its hard for me to justify the travel for an event with such mild support. For those who are closer, by all means go see the public launch of Zero and take plenty of pics to share.

I believe it is GCWNOW he asked me to come up for the launch and he lives pretty close.

Okay, now I'm confused. Does "gcwnow" = GCW on this forum? I mean as in- the official GCW a.k.a. Justin B and not just a forum screen name, like "gcw fan"

I guess I might have my answer, I see his official gmail address is gcwnow@gmail

I'm really interested in some of the initial concept/brainstorming that went on over at gcw along with early prototyping and fabrication.  A product like this deserves to have it's story told.

Perhaps we should wait until it's out before we declare it the undisputed king of retro game handhelds? Just a thought.

Too much gushy hype in this thread.

I'm excited too, but come on.
