Game Consoles Worldwide GCW Zero is a gaming handheld launched in 2013. Powered by JZ4770 (2-core, 1.0 GHz), 512 MB RAM. Features a 3.5" TFT LCD display (320 x 240). 2200 mAh battery. Runs Linux.
The Game Consoles Worldwide GCW Zero is a horizontal handheld launched in 2013 and now discontinued, built around the Ingenic JZ4770 SoC. It pairs a dual-core XBurst CPU on the MIPS instruction set, clocked at 1.0 GHz, with a Vivante GC860 GPU running between 315 and 575 MHz and 512 MB of DDR2 RAM.
When it comes to emulation, almost all SNES and PS1 games run at full speed, with slight lag only on a few FX-chip SNES titles and some 3D PS1 games. Below that tier the platform list is broad: NES, Famicom Disk System, the Game Boy family, Genesis / Mega Drive, Master System, Game Gear, TurboGrafx-16 and its CD add-on, Neo Geo, Neo Geo Pocket, WonderSwan, Atari 2600 and 7800, MSX, Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, MS-DOS, ScummVM, OpenBOR, Pico-8 and TIC-80. Nintendo 64 is listed too, but the console's comfort zone remains up to PS1.
The 3.5-inch TFT screen offers QVGA 320 x 240 resolution, a 4:3 aspect ratio, 60 Hz and roughly 114 ppi, behind a plastic lens. Its native resolution matches many classic systems for a faithful picture.
Controls include a cross D-pad up top, a single analog slidepad below it, four face buttons, L1 and R1, plus Hold and Reset buttons. The console has rumble and a microphone, weighs 225 g and measures 143 x 70 x 18 mm in a plastic shell. Dual stereo speakers face downward, and volume and brightness are adjusted via button combinations. Worth noting: the D-pad can squeak and the slidepad cap can rotate.
The 2200 mAh battery charges over Mini USB. Connectivity covers WiFi, a microSD slot, a 3.5 mm headphone jack and AV out; a Mini HDMI port is present, but HDMI and OTG support is still missing.
The operating system is OpenDingux, a Linux-based platform that provides an open environment for emulators, OpenBOR and fantasy consoles such as Pico-8 and TIC-80.
Ideal for: collectors and retro enthusiasts who want a historic, open handheld with a 4:3 screen and solid emulation up to SNES and PS1.
