    Our New Machine, Pandora

    Hi people :) Well it certainly has been quite a while since I last posted, but I have to say that I am VERY interested in this new device being planned by Craig and others and I would just like to take the opportunity to genuinely wish you all the best in your endeavours :D Despite the fact...

    Gp2x Joystick Exposed - The Internals

    Perhaps another possible solution for those who might be a bit worried on account of being clumsy using a soldering iron would be to extend the size of the smaller aforementioned orthogonal contacts by applying some kind of durable, electrically conductive paint or lacquer? In this way, the...

    Somewhat A Stupid Question...

    Hey, winniez :) It occurrs to me that if you don't already know about it, you might be interested in getting a different firmware. There are some really great ones available. I recommend that you try the Slubman Firmware (gpdrive Version), it's one of the best. It may be very suited to your...

    Second Thoughts

    Hear, hear! There is no need for people to be rude. It is a pity that the recent influx of new people to this marvellous community has included one or two who manifestly feel that their own sense of relative technical superiority gives them the right to talk down to others with such...

    The Joystick...

    I remember being a bit concerned when I heard that GPH were going to use a different joystick to that of the GP32's excellent one :unsure: I hope that this can get sorted out somehow. Right now, its the only thing holding me back from buying one :(

    R Gampark Holding Serious About The Gp2x

    The parallel configuration would still enable you to run the device on only two batteries if you wanted to, simply by leaving the appropriate two spaces blank. The voltage would be the same, the only difference would be in the available capacity. Judging from the shape and dimensions of my...

    R Gampark Holding Serious About The Gp2x

    Does anyone know why the GP2X, or the GP32 for that matter, wasn't designed to take four AA batteries, as opposed to two, in order to improve battery life? It would surely have been more convenient to have had to replace the batteries around half as often, and there's certainly plenty of extra...

    Snes Emulator Screenshots!

    This sure is a very welcome development :D Although I'm still very happy with my BLU (sooo glad I didn't get that pathetic GBA SP instead <_< ) and I'm still finding great new stuff that can be done with it (I've just discovered Project Guttenberg, how cool EBooks are and I'm currently reading...

    Rewrite Limit

    I take you point about the USB 2.0, although I personally wasn't really too bothered about the slower USB speed because 128MB isn't a very high capacity anyway, so I felt that the benefit in speed wasn't really worth the time and inconvenience of constantly faffing about removing the SMC from...

    Rewrite Limit

    Robster and Squidge: Very interesting, thanks for taking the time to provide some explanation, guys :) It certainly makes sense to me that certain critical parts of the flash memory would be designed to have a higher guaranteed level of reliability to help extend the card's overall life when...

    Rewrite Limit

    So, where does this 'lower layer' store information to keep track of what it's doing? If it also uses NAND memory, then how does it avoid creating a similar problem for itself? Or is there another bit of non-volatile memory that it uses which isn't prone to the same number of limited writes?

    GP2X Gp2x Joystick Actual Facts

    I suppose that it wouldn't necessarily have to be a case of one situation or the other. If the devs of the most commonly used emulators, applications and games for the GP2X were able to agree upon a very straightforward and easy to implement global configuration file, then perhaps it could be...

    GP2X Gp2x Joystick Actual Facts

    Once again, I'm inclined to agree with DaveC. I would probably have been more comfortable in the knowledge that the GP2X had a similar controller to the GP32. But I suppose that there is no point in griping about it now, we'll just have to work with what we've got. To that end, what do people...

    GP2X Gp2x Joystick Actual Facts

    Hmm... I know that I don't post very often, but even at the risk of being accused of flogging a dead horse, I feel that DaveC may have touched upon something that might eventually turn out to be rather important. I cannot help but wonder at the wisdom of introducing discrete switches for...

    Captive Save Positions On Castaway

    Well, I got to the fourth mission, but then I lost my save positions when my Smartmedia card stopped working :( I've sent it back and I'm still waiting for a replacement... Think I'll take backups of my SMC contents in future to prevent the same thing from happening again. It's still great fun...

    Castaway Button Repeat Problem..

    Hehe, oops! :P :rolleyes: :lol: I must admit, I didn't realise that those variable settings in DEFAULTS.CNF were actually executed in addition to the file being automatically registered as the chosen custom configuration when Castaway fired up :o I thought that they would be executed along...

    Config Files Toggling Too Fast

    You're most welcome Tidus :D You're right though, I probably have come across as a bit of a Captive fanatic :lol: Thing is, I'm hoping to do a lot of travelling soon and wanted to take a cool RPG with me. I chose Captive and, sometimes, once I've decided upon something, I can be rather...

    Config Files Toggling Too Fast

    Hello, it's me again :rolleyes: Some people have been asking me for copies of my configuration files, so I thought that, rather than emailing them to individuals, it might be better to post them so that anyone can see them ;) Below are the configuration files that I am currently using...

    Config Files Toggling Too Fast

    Er, I couldn't have put it better myself, cozmic :rolleyes: <_< Well anyway, just in case anyone else ever has the same problem and finds this thread, I thought that I'd just quickly explain the very straighforward solution that I used to get around it: After some experimenting, I noticed...

    Config Files Toggling Too Fast

    Hi all, hope someone can help... I need to be able to very quickly toggle between two configurations. To this end I've set up two custom mode config files that toggle between each other using the 'goto-' command when the right shoulder button is pressed. The only problem is the extremely high...
