    Broken Or Bricked

    3V is perfectly acceptable. You'll probably find that there is variation around 3V anyway, especially if you have a nonregulated power supply. I believe squidge tested from ~2V to ~4V and the unit still funtioned. Although, it is preferable to get as close to 3.3V as possible so you don't put...

    Usb Cable Mod

    You can't use the mini usb as a host. You have to make a cable that connects to the correct pins on the EXT port and provides 5V somehow (you can only get 3.3V from the EXT port).

    Gp2x Mplayer Supports Mp4v3

    DivX 3.11a is the Microsoft MP4V3 codec hacked into an avi container. I'm not sure if the file posted in the mentioned thread is the Microsoft codec. The V1 and V2 codecs are allowed in avi containers, but when V3 came out, they limited it to asf and wmv(?). So, the DivX ;-) team hacked the...

    Gp2x Break Out Box (finished Product)

    I believe he was originally planning on distributing it himself. This official version sounds like it is a lot different from techfreak's original product (i.e. docking, etc.).

    Gp2x Break Out Box (finished Product)

    I believe techfreak put together the original design and was planning on selling it a few weeks after he started this thread. Then, he got into talks with GPH, and they decided to modify his design and release an official bob based on that.

    Can The Gp2x Play Ogg Speex?

    Many .ogm files are usually mpeg-4/divx/xvid videos with Vorbis audio. Some coder hacked them together because Vorbis is a good choice for audio coding and mpeg-4 was (still is, I think) much better than Theora for video. The Ogg project doesn't allow proprietary formats to use the official...

    Tv Out Cable Problems, Exclusive To First Edition?

    I got one of the cables from the crappy first batch. The main problem seems to be that the connector itself is shoddy. It doesn't go all the way in, so it is loose and sometimes loses connection. I can get it to work by setting it down in such a way that there is pressure on the connector. I...

    Can The Gp2x Play Ogg Speex?

    Ogg is more of a container for the Vorbis music/general purpose audio codec, FLAC lossless audio codec, speex speech audio codec, and theora video codec. I believe those are all the codecs supported by ogg, officially. Most people use the term Ogg when refering to Vorbis. Also, FLAC and speex...

    Hi-fi Mp3

    Well if they sound different (I meant perceptually by a human; though, you may have meant by an oscilloscope), people are going to say that one sounds better than the other. I am saying most people will say vinyl sounds better. Have you ever heard a sound from behind you? How about in front of...

    New Gp2x Mk2 Review.

    I was surprised to see the NAND size is 64MB with all the rumors about it being just as (if not more) economical for GPH to upgrade the chips.

    Hi-fi Mp3

    I guess you haven't heard them side-by-side then. The fact is CD's and Vinyl sound different. Vinyl is analog; a CD is digital. Therefore, they will sound different. The people who first touted that it is "physiologically near-impossible" to tell the difference were trying to sell the...

    Bob Schematic - Usb Filtering

    It is a "low-pass" filter, which means that it allows low-frequency signals to go to the output and blocks high-frequency signals. If you know a little about circuits, you probably know that a capacitor in a DC circuit will act like an open circuit. In other words, it blocks low-frequency...

    Hi-fi Mp3

    Have you ever listened to a good vinyl recording??? It is much fuller and richer sounding than a CD. I have CD and vinyl copies of Pink Floyd's Animals, and I can tell you the vinyl is nicer to listen to. The only problem with vinyl is you start to get some artifacts like clicks, pops, etc...

    Using Gp2x's Usb-port As Ac Adapter

    Since it fits, that must mean that it'll work with the correct drivers :rolleyes: .

    Using Gp2x's Usb-port As Ac Adapter

    So NoidZ . . . you are saying that the RazR charges through USB? The GP2X doesn't nor does it get any power from the USB. You are welcome to try it, but an infinitely better use of your time would be finishing your homework.

    Would A Tv Tuner Ever Be Possible ?

    That software would have to make some new electrical connections ;) . I would give at least $10 to the developer who could accomplish this :P .

    .mkv Files + Gp2x?

    For now you want to use VirtualDubMod to demultiplex the mkv and remux into an avi.

    Hi-fi Mp3

    Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me. We pillage plunder, we rifle and loot. Drink up me 'earties, yo ho. We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot. Drink up me 'earties, yo ho. We download and share but with a loud w00t. Drink up me 'earties, yo ho. Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me. We...

    Group Game Project

    USB network connection!!! Everyone with a GP2X has a USB cable that came with their unit, and most people have access to a computer with internet access as that is one of the only ways to get content for the GP2X.

    Group Game Project

    Since this will probably require the help of many community members, I think the gameplay should be designed to also have the option to be involved with the community. And, if you want to appeal to the largest audience, it should be really simple to play and still be really fun and have a...
