Gypsy Basics – #1 in Gypsy Video Series

by

Hi Friends!  This is the first in a series of Gypsy videos I’m making.  This one is Gypsy Basics.  If you want to know how to get started with your Gypsy, how to link cartridges and some tips about using the Gypsy this video is for you.  I hope you enjoy it! 😀

This is filmed in HD, so if you want to watch it in HD, first press the play button. After you press play, you’ll see a new button between the volume and the screen expand buttons.  The new button gives you the choice to view the video in 360p, 480p and 720p. The 720p is HD. 😉

    • Hey Joy (I sound like I'm talking to myself, LOL!), It does come with 1 stylus which you'll probably find already inserted in the Gypsy. (Top left hand side ;) ) I think you're really going to like it! Congrats on your new Gypsy and that great price! ~Joy~
