I recently dug out the gp2x and started fiddling with it again. I've never had much luck with my Adata 4gig SD (NOT SDHC). When I first started using it, it worked fine, but after a short while, I started having problems where the GP2x wouldnt ever see the card as being in the unit. The autorun wouldnt go, and if i went to the games or explore menu, i wouldnt see anything there either.
Today I spent probably 3 or 4 hours copying things to the card and testing it. I've found that I can get a few hundred megs of stuff on there and it works fine, but even then, sometimes I would have to turn off the unit, pull the card out and try it again. After doing that once or twice, it would work. Taking it one step further, if I had the card working with some stuff on it and then added another folder and tried it again and this time it didnt work, if i deleted that new folder the card still would not work, so that kinda rules out some corrupted file or something I keep putting on there.
I have a feeling that pulling out the card isn't the solution, as that would point to a hardware problem and my 512 meg SD card doesnt have any problems working in the gp2x.
I tried going from firmware 2.1.1 to 2.1.2 but that didnt help. I'd go to 3.0, but the comments in the filearea say its a bad release.
Any ideas? I'm kinda getting a little frustrated here.
[EDIT] Forgot to mention. I had a hunch it was the SD card, so i got ADATA to replace it for me. The new card does the same thing as the old card, so unless the Compatibility list on the wiki is wrong, the card is working as expected... i guess.
