If they are as old as the wiz, don't bother. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, lithium batteries go bad with age regardless of use. If you open the battery of the wiz it might just have standard cells in it, if it does, you're in luck, otherwise I would suggest making a custom battery. You...

Some lithium batteries come with protection circuitry in the battery, some do not. IF you do not have a protected battery, it is not safe. The protection when not in the battery is usually in the device itself. Lithium batteries are known to catch fire when over charged. It is always best to err...

So how do you fix it? It completely covers the search gadget and I am using firefox v16.0.1 on windows XP SP3 and vista. It's really annoying, anyone have a fix for this? I tried deleting cookies but it doesn't work.

This was something I knew was going to happen and it's why I never bought one. Lithium batteries go bad in storage, whereas nicads can stay good for 10 years or more in storage. I knew that once the batteries were no longer manufactured, it would no longer be viable to use it as a portable...

Yes, this is true. It was one the main objections I had to the wiz and why I stuck with the GP2X. Lithium batteries go bad over time, so if you bought a 3 year old new-old stock, you would be buying a dead battery. Ni-cads are MUCH better. I have ni-cads from 20 years ago that still hold their...

This is a very bad idea for a lithium battery, particularly if the battery isn't protected internally (the protection circuit could be in the charger or the battery, I don't know which it is for the wiz). Lithium batteries are known to catch fire or explode when messed with. If it's a lithium...

I am trying to do a search of the forums and for some reason when I logged in my profile down arrow was pushed and I can't make it go back up and so it is blocking the search box. When I click the down arrow to make it go back up, it brings up my profile. So I deleted my cookies and logged out...

I am wanting to buy a composite video/audio(Yellow, Red, White) cable for the GP2X, I am not sure this was ever made, but if not a S-video would be OK, though my preference is for composite. You can email me at my gp32x user name at gmail.com. I am in the states (PA)and wish to spend < $20 USD.

Since nobody has replied, does that mean it can't be done? Can I just download one of the GP2X GPH's firmwares and install right over top of open2x?

I installed open2x on my GP2X F-100 a couple years ago and I want to go back to the old firmware as a lot of stuff doesn't run on the new firmware and I don't really see any benefits. How does one go about uninstalling open2x and restore the original firmware on the machine? Any help would be...

That's odd, I always hear about Germany's manufacturing sector being so "competitive" and how they have a trade surplus with China, I thought they actually would have lower production cost.OTOH, I guess they can't compete with a manufacturer in the US that has a 25% failure rate either. Once...

I was checking out the openpandora site and from what I have read they are ready to mass produce and ship, is this true? It's not entirely clear if the Pandora comes with the battery because on ordering page battery pack is an optional item, is that just for an extra battery? What happened...

I have noticed that the various game park systems forums have been combined, but it seems to me to be better to keep the old structure of the boards as there is a vast amount of knowledge in the board that people who are just coming with a used gamepark device (like a gp32x or gp2x) can easily...

[CAANOO] Metal Slug Zombies The 12 Balls Game Mission faileD and so on (it's actually pretty time consuming comparing the games on all 3 consoles. But my point is, that the "community" seems to drop support short;y after a new machine (my greatest appreciate of all the game-makers that...

Why has there been such a drop-off of ports to the gp2x? Almost no games push the hardware anywhere near it's limits and I have seen lots of 2-d games for the wiz and caanoo that the GP2X should be able to handle. Is it simply lack of interest? Neither the wiz or Caanoo are much better than the...

I love my gp32 and my gp2x and one of the reasons why I can still use them on the go is because they both use standard AA batteries, so I can always count on the availability of AA batteries and that was one of the major reasons I didn't get a wiz. I am now seriously considering a Pandora to add...

According to WIKI, The AA battery size was standardized by ANSI in 1947, but was actually used even before then. So, the AA battery has been around 63 years and is very likely to be around for another 50 years. Rechargeable AA batteries are better and better and they even now have AA...

I don't think this is entirely true in the US. But the bigger issue of emulators being released for the Gamepark consoles is just as silly as Nintendo going after PC manufacturers because some programmers write emulators for the PC. Another thing is that emulation opened up new revenues for the...

Hybrid NIMH batteries hold their charge forever. I was having a problem with regular NIMH's in that every time I went to use the machine the batteries had self discharged within a few days. Now, using Duracell hybrids, I can go months without touching the machine and pick it up and the batteries...
