That's not actually Half-Life but Doom with different models and half-life levels, right?

But it's pretty cool. Need to get Half-Life on my GP2X.

Edit: I think the half-life one was a joke,though i dunno yet,but the doom one certainly works!!

Doom is not a modern FPS. You It's missing a viewangle: you can't look up or down. As such the controls are simpler.
Though I think that touchpad could control a modern FPS too.

Yes,I aint taking it too serious,its still all cool,i wont be playing friggin doom 24/7!
The system is packed with "plugins" like asteroids and pacman can be played using the original arcade rom,so its just like mame and in theory will soon have loads like that,also it has a zx spectrum emulator that loads the .taps or whatever like a windows emulator!A gameboy/colour emulator...Gnu chess has been ported,i can play against A.I..
I could show you it all,but i cant be assed
But best of all I guess is that it now supports ogg and a few other formats!! Its just a good way to say fuck itunes!
Take my word for it,if you have an ipod, then use rockbox!!

If they want to play half-life on it they should. I'd beat any ipod cs'er though. Oh well, just the idea of getting it to run on an mp3 player is cool :)

Finally!
Well I had to wait for a sata pci card from china!! It had to be a certain via chipset. Following online instructions I opened up the xbox360,you kinda pull it all open albeit 6 screws within the case... rigged the dvd drive upto the sata card and flashed the dvd drives firmware,of course things went wrong in that the 'backedup' games would only load so far then they would crash, I found out that the burner was crap for this sort of thing, so I bought a pioneer 111D,aparently the best for this!burned off the same games and BAMM! They work!! within all this I learned that the dvd's are friggin expensive! so wasting them is not a very good thing. So there you have it,a self flashed xbox360 that works perfecto!!

How come the different writers make a difference? It's fucking madness. Is it more precision?

It is madness isnt it,i was gunna try different media, not thinking of the writer atall, but i mean as i said the media isnt cheap,so i thought i would buy the writer that is specifically mentioned by sum1 who uses any old media and works fine! Apparently i heard something about the pioneer having auto bit setting, whateva the fuck that is!

The pioneers are meant to be amongst the best writers though. Maybe it is something to do with the precision of the laZOR
