GP2X F200

The GP2X is a Linux-based handheld game console and portable media player developed by the South Korean company GamePark Holdings. It was released on November 10, 2005, initially in South Korea and later available in other regions, and sold over 60,000 units before being discontinued in 2008.

The device features dual 200 MHz ARM CPUs (ARM920T host and ARM940T coprocessor), 64 MB of SDRAM and 64 MB of internal flash storage. It uses a 3.5-inch 320×240 color TFT LCD screen and supports expandable storage via SD cards, including later SDHC models. The GP2X is powered by two AA batteries or an external adapter and offers TV output through a special port.

Its open Linux architecture makes it popular for homebrew development, emulation of classic systems (NES, SNES, Genesis, MAME, and more), and media playback (video, audio, photos, e-books). A later revision, the F200, introduced features such as SDHC support, a touchscreen, and a revised D-pad.

Additional characteristics include an expansion port allowing USB host and TV-out accessories, and the ability to overclock the CPUs via software. Its active community supported a wide range of emulators, multimedia applications, and original games,
