MP4 player with various emulators
October 25th, 2007This is my first post on this blog, so let me introduce myself. My name is Didrik, and I’m a Gameboy musician under the name nitro2k01. I also have my own blog, called Gameboy Genius. The other day I asked Jeremiah if I could post my geeky net findings here. Now, back to my post.
I stumbled upon the JXD 301 MP4 player. (MP4 is not a typo for MP3. MP4 is a video format, and accordingly, this is a video player.) The JXD 301 plays all common audio and video formats, and has a high contrast LTPS display and a builtin speaker which is amazingly clear for a unit of this small size. It also has two headphones jack as opposed to the regular one. It’s still unknown to me whether they can be controlled separately from software though. (Which would make it even more interesting, having 4 sound channels in total)
But what makes it interesting to me is that it ships with emulators for a large number of oldschool consoles. (NES, SNES, Sega Mega Drive, Gameboy Classic, Gameboy Advance and Neo Geo) It sports a powerful Blackfin CPU clocked at 600 MHz and has an upgradeable firmware. At a price of $126.50 this could be a serious rival to the GP2x, if it can attract a devoted community of homebrew developers and users.
If you’re interested in buying it, you can do so from MP4Nation.com who have also made a demonstration video, that you can watch here.

Great mp4 player! The battery don’t last the neccesary time to play the video games for a long period of time (I love play Tetris and I get to my nerves every time I am in a good game and have to turn off this player and recharged). Also,the instruction manual is in Chinese (ahhh!!!!) It will be an excellent idea to have it in English. Sign me in your list of the users of this mp4 player. My boyfriend loved it and wants one too. See you.
