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

Is the default analog mouse usable in FPS games? Or do I go back to pinnacle, xpadder, and the like to play older games without pad support. If the direct input mode works with Steam's Dual Shock 4 menu, when it's released, that'd be ideal.

Yes you can you the mouse mode in FPS games. It's not ideal as WASD is hard coded to the Dpad and not the Analog. You can see my latest video on CS Go where I use that control scheme.
 
Damn geek buying. I PAID extra bucks for express shipping they sent normal one. Can't they do anything right ?
 
w00t! Glad everyone is getting shipping confirmation. Sucks to be an IGG backer tho XD If you are a Western IGG backer, you'll be getting yours dead last. Also I'm almost positive now that my "review" unit is just the IGG unit I paid for.
 
The good news: I got a shipping confirmation too. Mine went out via EMS.

The bad news: Nothing when I try to track it-- the number starts with "EQ." Never seen that before and maybe it's a Chinese thing, and when I google about it I see people saying that they can't find anywhere to track these numbers. Guess I'll know if something's up if I don't get the package in 1-2 weeks.

EDIT: They provided a site to track it on. It's in Chinese and when I run it through google translate, I get a message that there's no info yet. So OK, must have just created shipping labels for people.
 
It's looking like you guys will receive your 8700 GPDwin in before me, could one of you test Metroid Prime NTSC on Dolphin 5.0 and let me know what fps you're getting?
 
I also had my Geekbuying order shipped via EMS. Sweet. (Doesn't track yet either, but no biggie, that's pretty normal in my experience).

At the pace they are(n't) putting out IGG orders, my Geekbuying order will probably come almost a full month before my IGG order.
 
Sure thing! Had originally planned to test that one anyway.

Sweet thanks man. I'd like to see what the deal is. If the 8700 does wind up being faster than the 8750 (for whatever reason) than no big deal, I have an 8700 coming my way and I'll just sell the 8750. But ideally, I'd like to *know why* the 8700 is seemingly faster in emulation.

Mine says:

"Why my tracking number is "666666"? "666666" means your order is fectched by the shipping courier from geekbuying's warehouse there will be a transfer trackings sent to you within 48 hours normally. Please wait patiently."

Is this normal too!?

That's what your email says? I haven't seen it before myself. For my GPD Win, I got a normal looking EMS tracking number (it looks like it's being shipped out from Singapore, although I'm not 100% positive on that).

Yes, on the page the tracking number is "666666", which obviously isn't a normal tracking number. >-<.
 
Intel announced a new Atom e3900@12W. Looks to be targeted at IoT stuff as it has some hardware features that help in that segment. If there were going to be a GPDwin2 replacement, don't think this is what would be used.

Same message -.-'

Thanks. Reading up, AntiMicro seems to be newer program to get around it.

Well, at least I'm an IGG backer. Plenty of time for you all to figure it out...
 
Guessing mine is gonna be dead last, post 2000 IGG backer.

It anyone gets a chance, I'm really curious to know how black desert online runs in its optimization mode. I have guest passes if you need em. Not hoping for much, but it looks like WoW runs pretty well, so maybe with everything turned down it may work.
 
Seems like slowly but surely more people are getting some units in. Some people are apparently still getting the 8750 version.
 
Going to be doing a quick video showing all of the performance tweaks in the BIOS I made. I'll link it when it goes up.

Edit: Video done. Will upload when I get home.
 
Dang, was hoping for a case. I'll be happy if one of my units gets here in the next week or two.

GB is out of stock now. But the gift is a free case, whee.

Actually, talking to GB now, they claim the factory over promised units and not everyone who bought yesterday will receive it soon (they claimed that IN STOCK meant PRE ORDER... what?). They also claim the next batch is 11/20. Shady.
 
Not very good. Here's hoping they eventually make a Vulkan or DX12 backend.

welp, that's no good - ohwell

still want one tho, got a nvidia portable atm; psp and ps1, + nds emulator runs well enough

still want that gc + wii emu tho in my hands
 
It's really sad how I'll get mine before backers. I have been trying to cancel and yet mine still got shipped. Sorry :(

I've decided to keep it, since there's literally no stock available at all. What a turn of events. Who'd have thought it would be a limited item? That's crazy.
 
Damn, looked like I got on to this too late. I've been searching for a good handheld device to stream Steam games at home and I can't decide what would be best.
