That archive appears to be broken (gives me a "not in gzip format"), but I'll use the diffs and see what happens. Thanks for the tip.

So I recently bought myself one of A. R. Taylor's USB cables and a silicone USB keyboard. I fire up sterm and it works a treat (so far as the weird keyboard allows, anyway), but there's a serious problem - the only characters shift works for plain letters. While sterm indicates my shift key is...

The screen on the MKII models is pretty bright. It's not bothering me in games, but it's starting to get to me when watching videos. I recently installed the latest firmware from the archive (the one with the blue menus), and even its supposed brightness settings do nothing (I think Contrast...

Deepmenace: Yes, that's pretty much impossible/not worth the cost and trouble. Same reason the batteries aren't charged if you plug in your GP2X by itself.

Ah, also "I pronounce Linux as Linux" now. http://archive.gp2x.de/cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi?0,0,0,0,59,1698

PacMan Intro: http://archive.gp2x.de/cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi?0,0,0,0,59,1697 Needs a little cleaning, but this was quick and dirty. I would probably be willing to kill someone to get the "Welcome to the D&D World!" bit from the D&D arcade game as my boot sound. Probably too long, though.

Ditto, manhill. Don't know a way around that.

Saying adding libavcodec support adds more formats is putting it mildly, right? I mean, that's the backbone of mplayer, which plays all formats known to God and man and then some. Of course, I don't know how many of those are packed into codecs other than libav, but that is the main one...

First, let me say I have no idea why you'd want to do that. Second, let me say it's almost certainly possible since the video player is a modified mplayer, which supports that. Hell, they probably left the "view as ASCII art" option in. However, you'd need command-line access to do it. Or you...

I just developed this problem with my "First Edition" unit. Well, sort of. I stopped getting sound through the headphones, though the speakers would still turn off. Never had the original problem here. Open my unit and find that the *other* three contacts snapped (though very nearly in contact...

I would keep it as no commercial support. If you're technically inclined, it's not really first party. There's basically no contact between any non-Korean end user and GPH for the most part. Commercial games aren't licensed by GPH (so far as I know). Personally, by comparison, I think the...

I think it should be specifically noted that GP2X+SD Cards makes a much more cost effective video-watching solution than the PSP + MS, especially if you spend a little time learning to encode your own videos.

I use Energizer 2500mAh/ Duracell 2100mAh / SomeWeirdNeweggBrand 2300mAh with a Duracell 30 min. charger and they all get about (dead minimum) 1.5 to 4.5 hours, more often 3 to 3.5. That's just videos, though. Haven't run through batteries without videos for a while now, but I expect it...

Everyone remember to update the wiki compatability list: http://wiki.gp2x.org/wiki/SquidgeSNES .

Ah, didn't check back to see reception of my idea. Glad I was actually of some use around here. I now go to pop V.2 on.

I take it Kirby Superstar remains non-functional, seeing as how it was one of the other two games to employ the chip used with the Super Mario RPG? The chip is called the SA-1 chip, apparently. Considering the games which use it, it must be the Super Awesome chip. I would like to get some and...

Suggestion: Have a command-line parameter that switches buttons from AY/XB to AX/YB. I think a lot of people are annoyed by the button layout, and adding a switch to the more common one makes good sense. Simple editing of the GPE means easy setup for you and lots of placated whiners (such as...

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I did nuke an SD card once by copying a 700MB file to a card with 200MB free... Behaved exactly like a hunk of plastic afterwards. I'm still in favor of being cautious. Also, I see no mention of River City Ransom - I assume that's not running? I understand that it's tricky for a unique reason...

Asking for the Social Security number is like asking for your Korean Citizen number - it only works for citizens of one country. Plus, SS# isn't that hard to come by so far as I know, if you're determined... And I don't imagine it would be good for much besides W2 forms and free money if you're...
