    Threads In C

    I had no idea SLD had fucntions for threads. Next time I'll check the documentation first. I did get it working with pthreads though, so right now I'm not going to change it, got bigger fish to fry.

    Threads In C

    hello, I'm having some problems getting threads to work properly on the GP2X. I create a thread with pthread_create(), and it seems to take over my gp2x. pthread_attr_init(&tattr); tattr.__schedpolicy=0; tattr.__schedparam.sched_priority=2; pthread_create(&tid, &tattr, Run, NULL)...

    Prboom And The Use Function

    Hello I have prboom and doom1.wad. It's f-ing awesome. The only problem is i can't the get mapping for the 'use' key to stick. I had my keys mapped as start for pause, and x for use. The x button stopped working for use, and very strangely, when I would pause then unpasue, a 'use' command would...

    Hirose Series St Connectors

    Has anyone tried the Hirose Series ST connectors. They are readily availible from digikey and seems extremely similar to the E810 connector I have used previously. The part number is H10354-ND at www.digikey.com. I know the wiki says they are slightly different in size, but thats kind of vauge...

    Sd Formats

    I would base the formating of the SD filesystem on the type of computer you plan to use it with. If you have a windows computer, use FAT32. If you run a Linux machine, go with ext2. Also If you plan on installing GPE for the GP2X I would go with ext2. That way you can forego the slow down...

    Strange File System Problems

    Alright i understand what your getting at now. Like I said before, i believe that nand.img file is decompressed on startup, and that where the Linux file structure comes from. So everything you see Linux wise, like /etc, and /bin all disappear when you shut off the GP2X. Try putting the file in...

    Strange File System Problems

    So what you are saying is that when you connect to the GP2X NAND through USB, and place a file in the root directory, it vanishes after you reboot the GP2X? You shouldn't even be able to access the linux root directory, or any of the Linux directories for that matter, through the usb connection...

    Strange File System Problems

    I believe that every time the gp2x boots, it extracts that nand.img file and turns it into the file system that you see. If you want to copy scripts to your gp2x, connect it to your computer via usb, and enable the usb link. (settings->usb->nand memory) Make sure you use the nand memory instead...

    Custom Power Suppies

    I was going to look into making them switching power suppiles, but I have some linear regulators laying around so I wanted to see what kind of performance I get with those first. They would be cheaper if I could use the linear regulators because the parts count is less, even if I had to add a...

    Custom Power Suppies

    DTH : I havn't priced out the parts yet cause I didn't want to waste my time if no one was interested. I'd ship to anyone that wanted one, provided the customer pays the handling. subcon959 : from what I've heard, people are buying adapters from radioshack casue they cant find the offical ones...

    Custom Power Suppies

    I have been reading as of late about how people are sturggling to find appropriatly rated ac adapters for their GP2X's. If I were to build some 3.3 volt 1.5 amp power supplies(regulated of course) would anyone be interested in buying one?

    Adaptor Problems

    Alright, yeah deffinately dont give the gp2x any more than 3.6 volts. Are you sure your're using the right size plug? I know that sounds dumb but there are like 25 different variations of those little barrle plugs. I think the gp2x is .65 mm in the center and 2.1 mm on the outside. Could be...

    Adaptor Problems

    The crash from the insertion of the plug is due to the fact that all power is lost to the GP2X for a split second when you plug in the adapter. Solution, dont do that with the GP2X running. The adapter is getting too hot becasue it can't supply enough power (watts) to the GP2X. The offical...

    Gp2x-gpe

    Its slow as hell unless you install it on an ext2 formated SD card and make the nessaccary changes to the .gpu file along with wirteing a script to mount that partition (that info can be found on the board). In my opinion, its still a little slow when using it on a ext2 SD card. I think it is...

    Frotzed My Ability To Use Battery Power.

    hey Chris, You are fine to plug in an adapter with batteries in your GP2X. The small switch inside the power jack disconnects the batteries when the unit is powered with an adapter. You only need to install that little strip of metal/ small wire across the contacts of the power jack (little...

    Attention Gpe Users

    OK, Orkie I got the script made and the card formated, but I have two problems: 1) I cannot get the ubuntu machine I'm using at work to copy all of the files over to the SD card. I think I has something to do with the OEM install I did and not being about to access the root account. I'm going...
