Well it's been a little while since I've used my GP2X due to school work however the semester is just about done and as a break from projects/studying I decided to take a look into it once again. I saw the news of the 2.00 firmware and I went ahead and did the update. Now however I'm having the problem that not too much seems to be working on my 2x. The things not working are (squigeSNES, FishyNES, tilematch, etc...). I've tried redownloading things and it still isn't working.

I guess that this is my last option because it's really frusterating when I'm not really sure what to do next to get this working. I hope that someone can shed some light on this problem for me. If I totally overlooked something I'm very sorry.
 
Not to be crass, but could you help us help you? I work for the phone company, and I get literally dozens of troubles a day, and several start off with a description such as:

"Phone lines don't work. Please fix ASAP"

What constitutes "Not Working"?

Do the emus see your ROMS list?

What happens when you try to start them?

Please, details ...
 
Sorry for not being so clear before, studying has me thinking about other stuff basically all the time.

When I say that the programs aren't working it's a little different for all the progams.

In Tilematch I launch the game and I get a black screen that forces me to shut off my GP2X

With the SNES emu I can select a ROM and then I get a lovely black screen and no gameplay.

With the NES emu I can select a ROM and get the same black screen.

I've had one game work for me currently and that's Nebulus if I remember correctly. Again I'm sorry for being unclear before, I don't want to upset anyone here, I just want my GP2x working again. Thanks in advance for any help.

There are several programs that are having trouble with the new firmeware, so that is probably what is happening to you. I think someone started a compatibility list around here, so not to worry. I can tell you that GnGeo2x works just fine with the 2.0, and Dr. MD seems to be having trouble. Not shure about the rest, H.G.

Best advice seems to be to wipe your sd card and start again from scratch - that seems to fix a lot of problems.
 
Thanks for the advice guys, I guess that the best advice is to sit tight for a little while. I just hope that all is well before next weekend because I"m going on vacation for a while.

As for trying wiping the card I hate to say it but I actually already tried it. One thing that I've found after some digging I found that SNES .34 works :). Thanks to all for the replies.
