Hi, I'm considering purchasing a GP2X, and I was wondering.

If I bought the cradle, and the tv cables, and two USB controllers and connect them to the cradle, is it possible that I could play a 2player (e.g. sega genesis game) game with the two controllers on the tv? As if it were a real console?

Thanks in advance

Yep, you certainly can

So, what is the official word on the OFFICIAL cradle, is it a good buy? I've read preliminaries that say it has some problems/bugs. Any thoughts?

check this topic for instance http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?act=S...=48&t=36939

Err are they talking about this cradle? http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-d1-49-en-70-1f8w.html
Argh, I really don't want to start cutting up my GP2X just to make it fit! Surely there's another way?

Hi Gregor, yes, that cradle. You don't need to cut off the ext rubber cover, you could only open up the GP2X a bit and slip out the rubber cover.
