IndieGogo - Windows 10 GPD Handheld -299$ "A Laptop Fitting in Your Pocket"

Supposedly someone has received a Unit from Geekbuying already, GPD pls...

From the second production? I wouldnt have expected those to arrive until next week at the earliest. Maybe its a late arrival from the oroginal 40 extra. Did the say when they placed the order?

"Hi, I received my Win from Geekbuying yesterday. It took about 7 days shipping to get here in the US. I have no idea why I got mine so quickly, as I ordered it on August 8th. It also has an 8750 in it."
Yeah leftovers from the 40 units it seems.

Ok , that makes sense. Now we just have to see who gets the next units first.
 
Geekbuying told me they're shipping today when I said it's ridiculous they charged me for something with no shipping date.

Fwiw
 
Yea, as soon as I figure out which specific change it was. (I made a ton of changes to the BIOS) XD

Also no big thing, here is Owlboy on a handheld:

ITS AMAZING!

This is great! Does it stick to 60 fps most of the time?

It'd be cool if you could try some more modern games like this (Say Axiom Verge, Enter the Gungeon, Hyper Light Drifter).

What engine is Owlboy on? based on how well it runs, probably not Game Maker right?
 
Just ordered one unit from GeekBuying! Where can I check my que number for the order shipment?

You can't currently they've removed the preorder counter, possibly for good.

Last time I checked 465 units had been ordered before it was removed, minus the 40 units that have been shipped already.
 
If i order now, when is a likely date I will get my hands on it?

Also, most people seem to be getting it for emulation. Am i odd getting it for games such as Stardew Valley, older CRPGS and other indies?
 
Is the palmver of mario kart double dash different to the us version?



All PAL versions are different from that era because they can run at 60hz, so 60fps... or 50hz, so 50fps. What it means is that running your PAL game at 50hz requires 50fps to get fullspeed instead of 60fps. Basically, for low end devices, it is far easier to reach the 50fps target and get the game running at fullspeed, without any sound crackling.
 
Over at Dingoonity, Victor posted an email that Kendy said IGG backers had stuff shipped out yesterday.

It might be like Geekbuying where we won't get any email and it'll just show up at your door.

My order ID is a single digit and I have yet to receive an email, just FYI.

What the fuck

They better send me a damn tracking number
 
I sent Geekbuying an Email asking about the shipping status of my order. It's been on "processing" for several days now.
 
Ooh boy crossing my fingers if I don't get screwed XD I would like it next week but I'm feeling I'm gonna see it in November :p
 
Here's the thing I've learned about Kendy. If she says something with affirmation, it's the truth. If she uses words like, maybe, we'll see, try, it's not going to happen.

So having read that email, I'd say my GPD Win is probably already on it's way to me.
 
It's good, though with that Atom x5-Z8500 you'll be able to run almost only 2D indie games and mobile games from Windows 10 Store, i had a Surface 3(before upgrading to Surface Pro 4 i5), and despite it having the faster Atom x7-Z8700 it wasn't even able to run at a decent frame rate stuff like Oxenfree or Abe new'n tasty at the lower resolution and detail.
Well, this post is from the first page. After seeing Phawx's videos, I have a hard time believing Oxenfree won't run well. Thoughts?
 
No one knows. Seems perfectly fine to me and I've been purposefully trying to push it to the max.

i requested a couple times some mame videos from ya on youtube. Also would be great if you could maybe also show hyperspin for emulators running. I am pretty much only going to use this for mame and 2d inde games and facebook and such.

also just ordered mine i was on the fence but meh now i can play mame on the road without having to hack a vita or psp or carry a laptop.

Yea, I saw your request. I was trying to swing it with my current MAME romset and it's just a mess trying to remember how to convert my set into a current working set. Ideally I'd like to just download the latest MAME romset but it's huge and would take days to download. It's one request that I'm going to have to skip for now. Sorry about that.

I know there is another person on Dingoonity that has a MAME set and will be posting reviews.

Aside from that, I do have a PCem set and I'll try to see how it can emulate a Voodoo card and jazz.

Here is a PSP compilation video I wanted to get done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgrsZ08BSr0

OGL Backend, frameskip 1, all safe hacks and most games run like butter. There is a little bonus game at the end. Ilomilo+

So glad I bought it when it was 10 cents .. 2 years ago I think? Anyway, it plays perfect on the GPDwin and looks amazing. Hopefully it goes on sale again, for those of you getting the GPDwin make sure you buy it on sale. It's an interesting twist on the sokoban genre.

Is there a reason you were panicking about CPU temp in your Fallout 4 video, but were cool as a cucumber about the same temps in this one?

I'm glad I came off cool as a cucumber. I was still plenty worried. I know enough with having stressed my machine that it has legs. I've yet to see any artifacting but I do worry with the efficiency of the heatsink not properly sapping the heat. Also for comparison, the Fallout 4 video I was playing Fallout 4 for 10 minutes prior to me recording. That WoW video I started pretty much then and there.

Still I wasn't happy with the temps. Until I can do the heatsink mod, I'll probably ease my throttle down a bit.

Dam the PsP performance was disappointing.

I sent a link to something for you in a pm

The good thing about their testing is that they make sure the unit work so you don't receive a DOA unit.

The bad thing is... well... technically it isn't a brand new sealed product anymore.

Hah I was just struck by the difference of how you were acting in both videos, you really did seem calm in the WoW video. That you were playing 10 minutes prior in the FO4 video makes perfect sense.

This is the exact email I received. Verbatim.
 
How's the wifi on this one? The XD did not have very impressive wifi in my limited experience, so was hoping this one might be a little better.
