Honestly, you should have researched before you bought. I actually do this for everything that I would consider important.

I knew all the cons and pros beforehand, including bad user freindlyness, LCD/scanline issues, joystick problems, poor battery life, limited movie player compatibility, random bricking, OS boottime (IT TAKES A LONG TIME BECAUSE IT IS LOADING LINUX!! LINUX=slow boottime just to let you know), just about everything, before buying it. I bought an SD card reader, and an 1 GB SD card beforehand, KNOWING it could not work with the GP2X and/nor be able to upgrade with it.

And you know what? I never had so much fun with a handheld in my entire life.

Also, this device is beta. GPH has not officially released this.

It's called consumer knowledge, in short. If you are surprised and ticked off by the GP2X, then it's your own fault. You should have checked beforehand what you get, and then made the decision if it's right for you.

All I can say about your complaints is this: too bad. Go sell it if you hate it so much. Right now, all of your arguments are just wasting space and reading time. These are issues we all know about, and we all deal with it. If you are expecting marketable quality, buy a Nintendo DS or PSP or something.
 
This thread is a perfect example of one that should be *CLOSED* It is as useless as the one that started it and does nothing but incite flame wars.

He doesn't own one. He is just a zodiac troll from the zodiaclamer board. He should be banned from here because he is a troll and nothing but trouble.

why? because I'm saying stuff you can't reply, so you get mad and wants someone to close it?
It's all about free speech and I'm just pointing out the gp2x problems. everyone seems to be so annoyed about, you gotta admit I am talking the truth
hahaha

DaveC at the troll here is you. read the reply directly above you as it serves you right.

Actually at DaveC is alright by me... We need people like him to make sure we get good software. He at least does constructive criticism (most of the time). Where would we be without DaveC basically saying "PSX emulation + GP2X = never"?

I love you DaveC!

*hug*

Every one is annoyed because we already know all of this shit. The ones that didn't like the bugs have sold it and moved on. The rest use the system with it's merits and deal with the bugs. Your whole post is a waste of bandwith.

Now please, begone with you evil troll!

Seriously, go away. Stop being pretentious and haughty, and take you're flames elsewhere.

I do research. the problem is, most people don't tell how bad those problems are.

I'm just pointing out most of the problems are software-related and should really be fixed by GPH but they look like they are not really that worried about it

the non-userfriendly launcher is an example, so is the lcd issue, the battery life (native underclocking should have been the default!), os boottime(i know its linux, but it wasnt supposed to be this horrible for a handheld system designed to just pick up and play), etc

:rolleyes:

That's good for you.
I'm having a nice time playing drmdx/ssnes/mame but thats all about it, though.
of course its easier to call us early adopters/beta testers. this device is several months old and we are talking about really basic problems :blink: i cant believe you can fool yourself like that, i certainly cant take it

take some of your own [ spam word ]: if you dont want to read my topic, dont read. you will miss lots of davec's flaming towards me and im sure you will enjoy it :p
any cheap underground chinese video player doesnt have this kind of ugly problems. I was seriously hoping the highly respected gamepark holdings, a serious enterprise i followed seeing the gp32 success, would take firmware problems fixing to a serious level.

davec has done nothing but flame me on this topic, how can you say he is good?
im pretty sure he was not the one who coded the psx emulator for the gp2x, ghahahaha, it was actually a zodiac gamer. :rolleyes:

im not doing any of the things you want me to, basically because you are trying to face facts with flaming, and thats really childish
quoting yourself doesn't make you "win", did you know that? hahaha B)
please, reply to anything i'm lying about, dont try to make me look like a troll because you can see i didn't start any of the flaming here :p any sensible moderator will see you two are the ones who are annoyed by the true stuff im telling here

WHO CARES. Jesus.

Enjoy the fucking thing for what it is. Anyone who buys a GP2X and comes to hate it because of WELL-KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED issues should have known what they were getting into when they decided to buy an OPEN-SOURCE HANDHELD FROM A SMALL, CONFUSED KOREAN COMPANY.

I did my research before dropping my money down. I knew about the joystick, the screen, the firmware problems, the boot-time, this, that, and the other thing. All I had to do was read the forums. It's not fucking hard. If you hate the GP2X and its development so much, sell it to someone who will appreciate it and get a GP32. Problem solved.

So, so, so tired of "GP2X Problems" threads. End rant.
 
I know, I was also aware of the problems, but I realised those problems are so bad I can't even recommend the gp2x to anyone. its a nice piece of handheld in theory, but it lacks a serious software support
im pointing out the problems GPH can handle, because such a handheld could have been an even bigger success if only those problems were addressed

but instead of a peaceful debate about what GPH should do, I've only received flames as you can see :p
 
What I'm saying is that we already have a ton of threads on the problems. We know about them. People are working on them. GPH knows about them. Let's drop it and work with what we have, which is plenty.

i sold the nds right away as its horrible. i still use the zodiac as its the best all-around pda out there imho. the gp2x is collecting dust while better firmwares don't come out and the psp is getting my attention now.
I really want some good working firmware, thats all! All I want is to be able to enjoy what I have bought, right now I have mixed feelings (love/hate) towards the gp2x and I really needed to know if someone else agrees those problems should be fixed (and for all those flames, one can really tell im certainly right) :lol:

Exactly.

You can't reason with this guy though. He is just a thick headed troll. The only way to deal is ignore his trolling.

davec just got owned and is on his feet to land another hate reply :lol:

lying and flaming won't get you anywhere.

The troll here is you, you are the one who started flaming me, so I gotta defend myself.
The best way to defend myself is to prove you are wrong, so that's what i've done :)

[looks at post #36 and laughs once again] :lol: [/owned]
