Thanks for replies Orkie and Sen. Quack. I was unaware of the touchscreen issues. It's too bad that the F200 came out so close to the end of the GP2X production. Having a major hardware change like that must have created quite a lot of work for the Open2x team. I'm just glad support was added.
I can't thank you guys enough esp. Sen Quack for making this work on my F-200. This is so much better than FW 4.x.x that there's no comparison. I've been using it for a month now, recently playing SCUMMVM games and Boomshine.
This is the first time I've really played touch games on my F-200...
My first time using Open2x on original F-200 MK1 that shipped with FW 4.0 . Most of my SDHC cards are unusable. The SD icon shows up blue on bottom left but with no capacity information.
What's weird is the PNY 4GB class 4 I had been using fine with FW 4.0 doesn't work anymore. I reformatted...
I'd like your opinions on these two F-200 revisions. In the short term which is better? Is the F-200 MK1 better because it's FW 4.0.0 touchscreen has support of current software, or the F-200 MK2 with it's improved screen. Does it even matter compared to an F-100 MK2 with it's networking...
I thought there was more to it than the screen since the MK1 u-boot is incompatible with the MK2. And yes, I arbitrarily used MK1 and MK2 to designate the F-200 versions. Perhaps F-200 and F-200( B ) would have been more appropriate but since all of the models say F-200( B ) I'd suggest owners...
I was bored so I decided to open this topic for people to discuss the hardware of the F-200 that shipped with Firmware 4.0.0 dubbed MK1 and the F-200 that shipped with 4.0.2 (4.0.1 in the information screen) dubbed MK2.
It'll be awhile before anyone fully understands the F-200 as it is, let...
I don't have a "bricked" F-200 ( B ). I'm curious though, it sounds like the bricking only affected units with FW 4.0.2 pre-installed and therefore had the newer LCD. It only happened when users tried to flash FW 4.0.0 on these units and the cause was incompatible LCD drivers.
If the LCD...
I have a GPX-GP2X-F200( B ) purchased 02/25/08 from GP2Xstore and it had firmware 4.0.0 on it. I upgraded to 4.1.0 and am waiting for the touch screen fix.
I'm sorry everyone else is having so much trouble with their F200( B )'s that have the new screen and firmware 4.0.2 on them. They'll get...
