Guy!  I'm glad you got a Wiz.  I love mine.  I did notice however you have some issues.  I don't know why you can't use SDHC.  You should since all 4 of my SDHC cards work in my GP2X WIZ. 

Also for Temper there is a fix that was going around on the forums.  The stuttery sound is not the emulator but the system itself.  There's a ram timing fix that will work.  When I get time I'll PM you and send you the fix.  Then it should work perfectly.  I can't find the link for the fix off the top of my head on the gp32x forums.  Also you should underclock the emulator.  It defaults at 533mhz.  I have mine clocked back to between 400-450 mhz for most games.  Quite a few can be underclocked even more.  I don't know why it works better underclocked but it does.

Now regarding file size for your cd games.  I guess you're ripping your original to bin/cue.  To save space I rip them to iso/ogg.  The Temper emulator should've came with a iso ogg program.  I rip my games from cd to bin/cue, then use the converter program that came with the emulator to convert it to iso/ogg.  I don't believe it does mp3 for audio tracks. There should also be a link in the readme for the ogg codec used to convert the bin/cue files.  I hope this helps.  Temper really is the best pce emulator i've used actually.  Just as good as Magic Engine in my opinion. (minus the extra options for visual effects/ audio balance etc) It is the only emulator for pce on a handheld that does ACD and other CD games to near perfection.  The ram timing fix really does fix the stuttering issue.  It's a fault of the system, not the emulator.  Temper on my regular GP2X runs perfectly.  It's the Wiz version that has this stuttering issue, but it's a hardware issue.
