Hi Guys.

Just wanted your opinion - you can get small keyboards (you know, the ones about the size of a number pad) that are normally used for PDAs. I was wondering how likely it would be possible to implement an adaptor via the EXT port to use one of these on the 2x? It'd be cool to be able to play old sierra games on the go. I'm no stranger to solder, so I feel I could at least wire up an appropriate connector.

It may be possible to use the chatboards made for the GP32 in the future. That would probably be easier than designing a totally new adaptor for GP2X use.
 
That's fantastic. I hadn't thought of using chatboards from a mobile phone. I'm new to the 32/2x community, so I didn't know of their existence. Is it just a simple rewiring of the serial connector, or are there actually chatboards that fit the EXT port directly?

Allan.
