How to Set Up Your GP2X Wiz

The GP2X Wiz is a handheld gaming unit that is unique because it doesn't play game cartridges or discs. Rather, it plays emulators downloaded from the Internet on your computer. An emulator is free software and there are thousands of game emulators available online. Once you have decided what game you want to play, you can download the emulator and be playing in no time.
