    Window Won't Recognise The Gp2x

    Thanks for the help. This doesnt seem to work though :( It briefly flashes the "Working" message up, but doesnt copy any of the files. Any ideas?

    Window Won't Recognise The Gp2x

    Is it possible to upload skins to the NAND if your PC does not recognise the GP2x. I have tried 3 different cables and all have similar results. but i would like to try some of the skins available.

    Gp2x Doesnt Work Even With Fresh Batteries

    To be honest videos do similar to mine, unless it is plugged in or has completely fresh recharged batteries installed.

    The Back Order Blues

    As a complete GP2X newb i downgraded the firmware within 20 mins of opening the box. its not a problem at all.

    San Fancisco Gdc - Gp2x

    It is an unknown system really, think of all the marketing other consoles get! Just by chance today, i was on lunch with a colleague and we were in the local supermarket looking at the DVD/Game section, he started looking at a Megadrive/Genesis compilation for the PS2. So i mentioned my GP2X...

    Donations

    The way I do it, is to estimate how much I would have been happy to pay for the "product" and give that amount when possible. I try to pick the best to donate to, giving £20 to one developer would mean more than giving £2 to 10 i think.

    Batteries And Heat

    I'll try that then. Seems unlikely as its a brand new official energizer charger. Thanks

    Batteries And Heat

    Thanks for the replies. I am using a slow charger, i usually leave them for 12hours or so, usually a bit longer. My charger auto switches to trickle charging after 12 hrs. I dont seem to get the rainbow effect when my batteries die, the screen stays as it is unless i'm watching video. The...

    Batteries And Heat

    Hi all I've had my GP2x for a few days now. At first the fact that my new rechargables (Energizer 2500mah + the 2500mah's that come with the system) werent lasting very long, wasnt worrying me as I know they need a few cycles. I'm beginning to think something is wrong though. I have charged...

    I Just Got My Gp2x!!!

    Ah, as long as the adapter is grounded it should be ok then. Mine was an ungrounded adapter and it made my hair stand on end . . !!! I am used to the stick after just a day, a (Good) d-pad would be better though

    3.0 Firmware Pre Loaded

    yeah but they are brand new so need to run a few "cycles" first. I have the Energizer 2500mah NiMH's. Got a power adapter now anyway :)

    I Just Got My Gp2x!!!

    I have the proper Energizer slow charger, just took the batteries that came with the gp2x out of it after charging today and they have already far outlasted the 1st charge. Got myself a compatible power adapter today anyway, so im safe all round :D I wouldn't, I used an adapter for US/UK plug...

    Is This Normal?

    I think new batteries need a few Charge/discharge cycles before you get the best out of them. I put my brand new Energizer 2500mah's on charge yesterday and they only lasted 10mins or so. Most nimh battery suppliers tell you to charge them for a while then expect them to be at their best after...

    3.0 Firmware Pre Loaded

    Thanks guys. You are right, 2.1.1 does load alot faster than 3.0. Just wish my batteries were lasting longer than 5mins!

    I Just Got My Gp2x!!!

    Got it! Quite pleased. The USB cable is cack though, so I am putting my card into my PDA and transferring the files through there! Also, my SD card doesnt pop up out of the top when it is pushed in, it just slots in and needs to be pulled out. This isnt a problem though as sd cards fortunately...
