I've got a couple leapsterGS devices and leappad2 devices (both revision 0x310) and a DIDJ. I don't have kids. I bought them in a bundle a few years ago when hackaday showed pictures of Mike Wolak's work. Unfortunately, he left no documentation about how he did it so they sat in a drawer for a few years until I noticed a few weeks ago that retroleap had come along (and apparently gone away again.) There's some good info on that elinux.org site, but it is too general and disorganized to be much help.
I'm really surprised at how crappy the original OS is...Would a kid really put up with that turgid user interface? Everything is so painfully slow and impossible(?) to customize. It's so slow that at first, I thought the Leappad2 was broken somehow....
I've recompiled gmenu2x, a handful of games and dingux apps for the Leapster GS and they run really well, better than on the original dingoo (which like the "retrogame" rubbish is flimsy, overpriced, overhyped, underpowered junk). Unfortunately, the leappad2 takes some work because of the weird 480x272 screen.
You mean retroarch supports some kind of netplay? Pretty much just me and the dog over here, so I have not looked into 2 player games much, LOL.
