 Neo Slim 3000 Handheld Doubles As Media Player, ROMzzz Portable

It doesn’t have the sleek, polished designed of the GamePark GP2X Wiz, but the Neo Slim 3000 offers another choice to rebel gamers who like their portable media players mixed with a dash of illegal ROMz – - excuse me, homebrews. Regardless of their true intentions, those in the hunt for such a flexible device could do worse than these specs:

  • 3.5-inch (320 x 240) display
  • 2GB of storage (with SD, miniSD, and TransFlash support)
  • Worldwide FM radio support
  • JPG/BMP/GIF/PNG photo support
  • MP3/WMA/OGG/APE/FLAC/WAV support with synchronous lyrics display
  • WIN2000/XP/VISTA/WIN7/MAC

Perhaps most sexily, it supports Famicom, Mega Drive, Super Famicom, and GameBoy Advance games right out of the box, so if you happen to be programming homebrews for those platforms, you’re good to go. Price and availability are still up in the air, but it’s the type of device you’d see in Chinatown, or being sold online at Play-Asia, for around $200.
