    Thinking Of Selling Up - Talk Me Out Of It?

    You GUYS! Waaaay too much time on your hands. I asked if I was making a mistake because per-HAPS there was something big coming that I might miss out on. The first poster pretty much answered that question, hence I've not been back to even post here. I decided that in retrospect the console...

    Thinking Of Selling Up - Talk Me Out Of It?

    I just don't play it, though. Like... ever. And there's something specific I want to get that I will definitely play a lot more (coughDSezPasscough)...

    Thinking Of Selling Up - Talk Me Out Of It?

    Haven't really been at all excited by the homebrew really, though... :( Other than Vektar and Payback, what am I missing, or about to miss?

    Thinking Of Selling Up - Talk Me Out Of It?

    Since getting my MkII I've barely used it. Once I got over the initial thrill of the new, finding and downloading emus and ROMs that I wanted, putting a few Family Guy eps on there, I found that I barely ever played it. It's gorgeous, and clever, and very cool to have something that effortlessly...

    Playing Video - Mp4's Don't Work, Right?

    Nice one! Cheers buddy - best response I've ever had to a problem posted here - everything solved at once!

    Playing Video - Mp4's Don't Work, Right?

    Yep, on a Mac, and yes, they start with the dot ._ Any way of hiding them? They really mess up the list! :( Also, what would people recommend as the best way of getting small but good quality episodes of, say, Family Guy? Download the larger .avi files and just use them (not nearly as many on...

    Playing Video - Mp4's Don't Work, Right?

    Because the .avi files on the net are much bigger in comparison. I'd still want to shrink them down, as they would be DVD rips at higher resolution, and wouldn't shrinking them take as long as converting them? Or not? In the end I used Toast to convert each 47mb mp4 to a roughly 100mb divx (for...

    Playing Video - Mp4's Don't Work, Right?

    Hmm. Also just noticed that the conversion from mp4 to avi increases the file size by around 5 times using Quicktime Pro. I'll try the divx method and see if that's any smaller!

    Playing Video - Mp4's Don't Work, Right?

    Please forgive what's probably a STUPID question. I know avi's work on the GP2X, but is that the ONLY format that does? I haven't managed to get .divx or a .mp4 to show up on it so far so I figure they just don't work. Thing is, the .mp4 files that are floating around for iPod are so lovely...

    I Just Got My Gp2x!!!

    I got mine a couple of weeks ago, Mk2, and I swear to GOD it did NOT have a screen protector on it. And now my GP2X has got in an argument with my phone in my pocket and got a light scratch right across the middle of the screen. :(

    It's Arrived - What's This About A Screen Protector?

    SOmeone above says it does but I'm 99% positive from inspecting mine EXTREMELY closely that it doesn't. And I got a scratch on mine now. :(

    It's Arrived - What's This About A Screen Protector?

    None whatsoever - but I can't detect a screen protection layer on there at all. It's been laid on by a precision machine if it's there!

    Gngeo2x & Rage2x: Can't Load Roms - Detailed Description

    Is there one of these tools made for the Apple Mac? :( Also, I'm not trying to use the neogeo roms on mame, but on gngeo2x - does that make a difference? CHeers, Owen

    Volume Controls Have Stopped Working

    New Mk2, just arrived - the volume controls were working a couple of hours ago but since then, somewhere along the line, they've stopped. I've installed the Mac OS X skin on the machine, and got one of the Mac startup sounds as my new startup .wav - could that have tampered with the volume...

    Gngeo2x & Rage2x: Can't Load Roms - Detailed Description

    Hi all, So I have the latest GnGeo2x (0611) and Rage2x. I've got the full pack of neogeo.zip bios in the roms folder of my gngeo2x folder (11 files - I just stuck the lot in there). I got Metal Slug 1, 2, 3 and 4 (I think from SITE NAME REOMVED ... SILLY!), put the zip files in the same roms...
