My pleasure - I said it was a simple mod! :D I'm pleased someone is trying it out! When you close the case up, experiment to gauge the tiny trimmings here and there you need to make to the shaft on the back of the d-pad so it pivots nicely on the rubber pads so you get diagonals and the...

Onto GP2x project 2 now. In this project, taking a working GP2x-F200 with broken d-pad and rehousing it into a small 1 litre tupperware box and making it into a nicer case. Going to incorporate large d-pad, larger buttons, spaced better too; Li-ion cells, keep things quite slim too, and of...

So, have started the projeect to mod an F200. Have currently rigged up 5 x 1800mA Nintendo DS 3.7v batteries in parallel to see how long they last for on the GP2x. I'm hoping for 3 hours if i'm lucky (if these generic batteries do what they say on the tin they would give 9 amps; however are...

I don't think people are that interested in the GP2x. This project has been posted on Engadget and many others, yet has barely had any interest. It would have been an entirely different story a couple of years ago I guess... Sites this is on (there are more, just listing these as "evidence")...

I should have retained the one from the back of the d-pad, however as had filed it off, I hotglued a tiny plastic bead into place, and then very gently sanded down a bit here and a bit there with a sanding drum on a Dremel, until I had it "just right"; ie all 4 directions registered fine, and...

FINISHED project 1 Here is the link to my site: LINKY YouTube video: (this is a step-by-step video guide too for d-pad modding and Li-ion battery modding a GP2x BTW) Pic of system (silver and black finish): D-pad modded; 4 hour 10 mins playtime on 200mhz game; 4 hours to recharge from...

I had a GP2x F100 which i've modded for this, and the silver was from the GP2x F200 model. The silver is not painted, the console was white and silver, the black F100 case was spray painted though. I got 4 hours 10 mins. Probably doesn't help that Li-ions cut out at about 2.8v, so although the...

GP2x is dried, looking lovely in its two tone colour scheme (silver and black). Closed the case up, barely but did close ok; booted up, fine. Had a far better game on Gradius 3 on the SNES than before – the d-pad works great. So, two pics – one of finished system, and the other the GP2x logo...

OTST - I have also linked this thread from my website (see "news" 7 May) to hopefully bring people here too. About 500 people a day visit my website, and around 300-500 visitors a day on my forum on average. I'll let the figures therefore speak for themselves as to if people like my sites, yes...

Two things: 1) ...says someone with an avatar like 2) have reported your comment to the Mods here, i'm not feeding a troll

Opened up the GP2x - I believe I can fix in a second PSP battery in the recess, to double the amperage and make the GP2x last longer on its playtime. Also, fixed one small issue with the d-pad, you could press all four directions at the same time in error, not good in action/reflex games. Fixed...

When I last played on the GP2x (ahem, 2006 or early 2007) SNES emulation was poor. From what I see on Gradius 3, it's full speed at 200mhz! Got more emulators on, however will test the same game in the same conditions for a comparision when do the 2nd PSP battery mod. I want to make this system...

Ok, put some emulators on the SD card, loaded up Gradius 3 on the SNES emulator (boy, that works full speed now - not used my GP2x since the end of 2006, judging by my backups), and the battery only lasted 2 hours. Either the battery doesn't hold the amps it claims (possible); or the GP2x takes...

Great! It will be interesting to see how many bids it gets and the price it gets. Realistically, it will be a few days before I get the time to do these things and ready to post; I want to play with the system for a couple of hours with various emulators, to test it out before selling it - also...

Ok, i'll spray paint the casing first then show the system before spray painting the buttons! On a different note, FINISHED the GP2x project (project #1) it now has a proper d-pad and Li-ion cell. Had no-where to put a stereo jack (using one for the external charger, had to trim inside the...

The buttons and d-pad are as per the pic in previous post (post #29). I think having all those colours will make it look "kiddie toy", rather than the aim to make it look fairly professional. Experimenting - had six Li-ions from a couple of years ago when doing the old "Mini" project which I...

Soldering on the project (#1) is very basic indeed; show part of what is needed in the video being compiled. Project #2 (with the tupperware box) needs the SD card relocated and the USB (what is that used for BTW - can't you just use the SD card for everything?), also thought of putting on a...

Made casing for project #2... will spray paint this and start to fill it with the other GP2x system (remember, I said I was doing two GP2x projects?). Going to leave the second one to the end though to reveal it fully... 1 litre tupperware boxes, bottom cut out, 2mm perspex cut and hot glued...

Certainly! About to start project #2, as the back of the case on this project is drying between spray painting.

Made a great discovery - added this in a short video clip to the video i'm compiling, however showing this in pic form here too: We all know the battery life from two AA NiMH cells sucks on the GP2x. I bought a PSP battery for my PSP a while back and being a Chinese rip-off it didn't work...
