Breakout Box


Sound and .. movie board. O..kay. I guess that's some sort of attachment with ports on it? The MMSP2 would appear to support composite OR s-video connectivity plus of course the stereo ports, and if you wanted you could rig up Component video, although I do not think those pins make it to the EXT port..

I hope their solution is fairly neat and small. I'd like for Stargazer to run with 2 player support via a 2nd controller without having a brick hanging off the machine! :) No offense to the designers of the existing breakout box; a fine product, just not ideal for simple 2P setups.

All the more reason for my trying to build a single powered USB dongle. Just like an extension cable with a battery attached, I will work on it soon, but first I will need to get one of the GP2X EXT port plugs (what kind of phone were they from again?).

I myself never built one, but here you can find infos.
Gp2x Wiki
On ebay there are good prices for cables.

You can get one from your local radio shack, it's the vx 6000 one there. Or you can get an e810 samsung one from online. Noone has posted in my diy cable forum yet..so i'm still pondering how to make this sob work...
