GamePark Holdings GP2X Caanoo is a gaming handheld launched in 2010. Powered by Pollux VR3520F (1-core, 533 MHz), 128 MB RAM. Features a 3.5" TFT LCD Touchscreen display (320 x 240). 1850 mAh battery. Runs Linux.
For emulation, the Caanoo comfortably covers classic systems: Atari 2600, 7800 and Lynx, Commodore 64, VIC-20, ZX Spectrum, MSX, Amstrad CPC, NES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Master System, Game Gear, Genesis / Mega Drive, PC Engine, Neo Geo and Neo Geo Pocket, plus MAME, ScummVM and MS-DOS. Most SNES games run at 60 FPS, but titles using the FX chip and Mode 7 slow down, while on PlayStation mostly 2D games run well, not all at a full 60 FPS, and 3D games lag.
The 3.5-inch TFT touchscreen offers QVGA 320 x 240 resolution, a 4:3 aspect ratio, 60 Hz and around 114 ppi, covered by a plastic lens. The 4:3 format suits many retro systems naturally, and the console also supports vertical (Tate) mode.
Controls include 4 face buttons, L1 and R1, a Home button and a single upper-mounted analog stick with L3. Rumble and a microphone are built in, volume is set with a slider and power with a switch. The stick has aluminum legs and can wear out after intensive use. The plastic shell measures 146 x 70 x 18.5 mm and weighs just 136 g.
The 1850 mAh battery charges through a proprietary port. Connectivity includes USB-A host, WiFi via adapter, AV video out and a 3.5 mm headphone jack, while sound comes from dual rear-facing stereo speakers. Storage is handled by SD card.
The console runs Linux and its modding policy is permissive, making it well suited to emulators and homebrew applications.
Ideal for: collectors of historic handhelds, Linux and homebrew enthusiasts, and players who want to emulate 8-bit and 16-bit classics on a lightweight device.
