Title: Anyone bought a Zodiac?
Post by: Nimbus on February 17, 2004, 03:58:58 AM
This thing look way better than a NGage and I would be interested in one.  If you own one, share with us.

I'd also like to hear about anyone who owns a Zodiac, considering the Nintendo DS is
using the Arm 9 processor, the same as the Zodiac's, in conjunction with the current
arm 7 gba processor.

The ARM9 is used in the GP32 and IIRC NGage as well. Though I believe the NGage has more than that one processor. Maybe the DS will get additional GPUs as well?

THe N-Gage has good graphics, but the screen is not large enough

yea thats my main problem with it also. If it had a couple of good games and they redesigned the system I would be more tempted

The Zodiac is said to have the same battery life as NGage or PSP, that's what puts me off.

The games turn me off.  I'm not saying they suck its just that I prefer if the games were JPN.  Most games that aren't JPN that I play are on the PC.

Oh, I didn't even know the Zodiac is even out or has any games. Interesting.
