    Beautiful landscapes are prettier than portraits

    I think 1280x720 will be fine.  I have a Nexus5 1080p phone, and I'll be damned if I can notice the difference from my former 720p OneX of same screen size running side by side (without staring exteremely closely).  Even my Nexus7 (R1) tablet at 720p looks great, no issues with pixel density...

    Accidentally Put 12 Volts In

    If you're brave you can open it up and see what is fried. These days electronic devices have several components which will actually blow before damaging key things (like CPUs etc). There's several things that it could be such as a capacitor or diode. Maybe even a resistor if you're lucky (as...

    Gp2x Dual-screen Support?

    I've just come into posession of a 7" LCD touch-screen and was wondering if it was possible for the GP2X to display seperate things on the main display and TV-Out? Or does it have some sort of hardware switch? Since I plan on putting my GP2x in my car as a media platform it'd be handy to...

    Why Not Just *run* Debian?

    umm....keyword: Debian ARM Packages Besides, running an entire distro (which is aimed at x86/x86-64 mind you) will probably hog a tonne of resources. Then running programs on top of that will drag it down even more. However, running a specialised stripped back distro would probably be more...

    Opentyrian2x - Christmas Edition

    The button changes sound good! Although there's no need for L+R to both do the same thing. It's much better if they fire their individual weapons like previously. Most side-kicks automatically fire with the main guns and those which don't (usually the ones which use ammo) need to be used...

    Opentyrian2x Alpha Released!

    Seconded.... Although, i think that's the result of the GP2X controls being mapped as the joystick instead of the keyboard? I just noticed it just now and it is basically simulating a joystick input which does the same thing on PC with skipping really fast in the menus.

    'updated Version' Of Opentyrian Posted

    Check the other Tyrian thread. Basically it's much faster now :D There's other things too though.

    Opentyrian2x Alpha Released!

    You are the man!! I remember playing Tyrian on my first Pentium computer and it rocked! Although I could never beat that darn Beer level....still can't :P I reckon once the ingame pause/exit/change settings menu is implemented it'll be all good.

    Gp2x As Car-pc/media Center?

    Wha....you can't plug it in while batteries are in it? Surely GPH knows how to switch power-sources when the power supply is plugged in? Isn't that what people are saying about the unit turning off and on again whenever they plug power in?

    Gp2x As Car-pc/media Center?

    Well....I don't intend on leaving my GP2X permanently in the car. Which is where the beauty of a mounted docking cradle comes in :D That way I could just switch it on, on the way to the car, chuck it in the dock, plug in the cables and I'm all good to go. That then gets around the long load time.

    Gp2x As Car-pc/media Center?

    I'm thinking of getting myself a GP2X soon (probably the F200) and I'm wondering if anybody has ever tried using it as a Car-PC before? Sounds like it'd work perfectly to me. I'm sure it'd be easy to find (or make, if necessary) a cigarette lighter->GP2X power converter. Music could use the...

    Please Help With Regards To Video

    Try disabling "B-Vops" or "B-Frames". It tends to have sync problems on portable devices ;) Also make sure that the audio is 44100hz (44.1khz). I don't know exactly how the GP2X video player is coded, but if it doesn't have anything to resample the audio frequency then the sound will go faster...
