    Advice On Movie Playback On Gp2x

    I completely agree with the idea of using pocketdivxencoder to reencode movies for the gp2x. much smaller files better compatibiility eliminates most sound synch issues can zoom in a little on cinemascope movies (2:35-1 aspect ratio) so they're a little easier to see Can watch movies in...

    Batteries

    The energizer 2500's are everywhere and inexpensive and work really well. I use a 2-hour charger, and once charged I unplug it and plug it back in to "top off" the batteries. I think that helps because I get lots of life from pairs. I also recommend, since they're fairly small, carrying...

    Games That Follow The Gp2x Standards?

    For emulators, I love the picodrive and the nes emultor interfaces. And hope and pray that for the pandora, all emulators adopt the standards set forth on those.

    Pandora Software

    I think that GMENU2X (PANmenuDORA?) should be the shell. With a launcher, media player, and HW utility.

    Poll: Battery Life Target

    I think that as long as you can have INEXPENSIVE charged spares, the life isn't super critical. For example, I am flying to Denmark tonight and will bring 10 fully charged 2500mah AA batteries. I am not the least bit concerned about running out of batteries on my journey, including lay-over...

    Which System's Game Will You Play The Most ?

    I prefer N64 because of the small game size and the sheer amazingness of its two zeldas, the mario game, bajo kazooie, paper mario and conker. Those games alone would keep me busy forever. PSX is still kind of impractical due to the iso size. GBA is ideal as well because the games were...

    GP32 A Good Pc Emulator

    I agree that DOSBox is slow relative to the old adage that you need a platform 10x as powerful as the system you're emulating. I would guess that on my 3000mHz PC my DOSBox should, according to the above, act like a 300mHz PC in DOSBox, when it really acts more like a 75Mhz system. I don't...

    Lol!

    Did you ever watch the "Soup Nazi" episode of Seinfeld? That's what an Internet forum is like. There are rules. If you follow them, you'll get best responses (soup). If you don't follow the rules, or are sloppy or lazy about how you request help, the Forum Police (official and amateur) will...

    Give It A Credible Ebook Reader And You'll Sell A Ton.

    The best book reading app I've ever encountered was Ice Book Reader for windows: http://www.ice-graphics.com/ICEReader/ScreenE.html Not that this could be ported but the features are ideal. Smooth scrolling is the key! And the way that this reader can be set to scroll at your reading speed...

    Is There A Scrabble Type Game Out For The Gp2x

    Native "scrabble" in the form of crosswords would be incredible and I look forward to it. There are actually several scrabble games on emulated systems: one for gameboy color, gameboy advance, and megadrive. I prefer the gameboy color version for best mechanics, but the extremely low...

    Whats Your Batteries?

    I also use the energizer 2500's. They are the probably the best easy-to-find batteries (every big box store seems to have them). I also do a double-charge to boost life. I charge them to completion, then unplug and replug the charger which gives them an additional boost. I find that the...

    Albion

    I think for games with lots of keyboard shortcuts, the best method is using one of the trigger keys as a "shift" option, which makes it easer to have large amounts of configurable keys.

    So no one's run into this before huh? Oh well. It's pretty darn weird that's for sure. Bye bye!
