    Bob Or Jtag Wanted

    Hi, I'm in the UK I have one of the original dev boards for the GP2X. I don't use it as I built another which just had USB and Audio/Video out. If you want it I'd be more than happy to sell it for a fair price. Tom

    Brand New Gp2x - Bad Battery Life

    For the charger can I suggest that you get this one Techno Line IC880. I thought it was over kill at the time and was a bit unsure about it but it has been really good. If you like have all the options you will like this charger.

    Is The Screen Protector Worth Having/using?

    I find the screen protector is really good it means that you don't have to worry about the slow but sure scuffing of the screen. My screen protector saved me from having a nasty gouge when I put it in my bag with the dev break out board. The screen protector was ruined but the main plastic...

    Those Crazy Underscore Files

    I think this is an eccentricity of nix systems. Using GNU/linux when you delete a file the file goes into a folder called .trash. .trash act in a similar way to recycle bin but if its portable media then you don't really want the file just to be moved to a folder called trash. My guess is that...

    Battery Powered Usb Pocket Hub

    You really need to connect ground as it is what the data line are measured against. Although you could probably get away with not connecting it you may get strange problems and for the sake of one wire its not worth leaving it disconnected

    Memory Stick Pro Duo

    You could probably get it work with a gp2x (not in a gp2x) if you got a USB adapter and connected it to a breakout board. . . But for the money and effort of this you might as well just buy an SD card.

    Clockspeed

    No unfortunately when you buy a 270MHz model it is just that it has been tested to overclock to that speed rather than being faster by default.

    What About Open2x?

    This sounds great I stumbled across Open2x when i first got my gp2x but I had assumed it was vapourware. It sounds fantastic. I get the impression that the gph firmware has been cobbled together and uses bad coding practice so glad that there is an alternative

    Breakout Board Cable Help

    Help :( I used one of my breakout board cable connectors to try out something now I have soldered it back together so the wires go from the connector to the equivalent pin. like a standard Ethernet cable but I think it might be reversed so it should be wired like a crossover cable. It doesn't...

    Sd Cards Using Ext2 Filesystem?

    Another reason not to use ext2 is that SD cards use flash memory which has a limited number of read/write cycles I think its about 10,000 because ext2 is a journaling file systems parts of the memory get written to very regularly this can wear out that sector and cause lots of problems.

    Battery Powered Usb Pocket Hub

    I've just done the exact same thing although its still a beta version. :o. Mines slightly different. I used 4 AA batteries instead of AAA. Being able to power an external Hdd is definetly nice althougth mine is only 40GB its more than enough for me at the moment. It is interesting that 2.5"...

    Screen Brightness

    I find that when I am playing in low light conditions I find that the screen is far to bright a dazzles me. I have also heard that it is bad for your eyes to look at something that is drastically different in brightness to the background. Cant wait till you release the color correction test A_SN.

    How Would I Hook A Flash Drive To The Gp2x?

    I don't think that this can be relied on as is have a new gp2x which only provides around 3.3V. The main thing you need is a powered usb 1.1 hub. I wish I had known this before I bought a Break Out Board. If you go into settings and advanced enable all usb devices.
