A thought just struck me. . . I've been playing around with virtualization software lately. Specifically, Qemu - it's free software. What's more, some FOSS projects like DamnSmallLinux and ReactOS offer downloads of their OS complete with Qemu & a script that means you can start a virtual...

Heh - if you're after a car-loving audience, try sending a GP2X with some driving games & the like to Top Gear ;) Incidentally, are there any GP2X banners/icons/whatnot that those of us with web pages can use to advertise it..? I'm sure there's a few of us about :)

For no reason other than frustration, I tried flashing again. AND IT WORKED!!!! :D :D :D What has changed? I'm not sure. Same hardware, same software - everything was identical. The only thing different was, I plugged everything in & powered it all up BEFORE turning on the PC - I wouldn't have...

No, because it'd be optional to install it & you could set it to only report as much or as little as you wanted - not something that sneakily gets loaded in as a firmware upgrade and reports all your MP3s to the RIAA ;)

Just wondering: if the GP2X cradle or some other 2-way communication hardware between GP2X and PC became widespread, could a little application be written to run in the background, and keep a log of what applications you use, and for how much time? If so, that log could be uploaded when the...

I have the GP2X running off batteries, and the BoB running off a PSU - I don't have two PSUs. I believe that the GP2X running off batteries should be OK, so long as the BoB is running off the mains adaptor..?

It is indeed a 25-pin parallel cable. It should have all 25 pins wired together, but I'll check it when I get home just in case. . .

I've got a first edition GP2X that bricked itself on the first attempt at firmware upgrading. So I got a BoB, arrived at the weekend. Connected BoB to a Windows PC & the Gp2X, ran the software that comes with the manual: E:\>GP2XRecovery.exe JTAGProbe - JTAG interface to the ARM9TDMI/ARM7TDMI...

I've no idea if this game is played elsewhere in the world, but it was popular when I was a kid in school.. We played it on paper, but the GP2X controls could almost have been designed for it. So I figured I'd suggest it, in case anybody's looking for a game idea :) The game's simple: You draw...

Well, if anyone really wants a Mk1 badly enough, I'll consider any sensible offers for my bricked one - I've all but given up on getting a JTAG for it at the moment :)

Hmm... odd, I don't seem to have that file. . . I'll go download-hunting again. Cheers!

Glad to hear it. Of course, I still have the problem of not having a floppy drive. But I can work round that: what's on the floppy?

Maybe I'm missing something, but the instructions in the thread linked above seem to call for a PC running Windows & posessing a floppy drive. As I'm running Linux & have no option of booting off a floppy, are there alternate instructions available?

Yep. Bit annoyed that U-Boot got killed by an SD card that only had a kernel image on it, but so it goes. . . Oo, does Craig do replacements for bricked GP2Xs? Electronics aren't my strong point (to put it mildly :)) but I may be able to cobble together the JTAG interface. What's involved in...

None of my SD cards would upgrade the firmware, so I finally bought a Fuji 256MB one & gave it a go. Yay, the frimware upgrade message appeared. And stayed there, for about five hours, until I finally decided it was locked up. And now, I get the white screen that slowly fills with coloured...

I use DVD::rip, it handles episodes easily enough - I was watching the first series of Red Dwarf in the laundrette the other day :) Plus of course, there's a guide already out there on how to use dvd::rip to rip titles for the GP2X. . . ;)

It's a small world. . .

Maybe it's all a cunning ploy to raise publicity for the GP2X by getting it repeatedly mentioned on /. and other such sites? Incidentally, ROMs & MP3s aren't necessarily illegal - worldofspectrum.org, for instance, has hundreds if not thousands of ROMs which the owners have given permission to...

Perhaps somebody should point them to BitTorrent? :) DijiTao: Strictly speaking, you can't call someone a criminal until they've been convicted of commiting a crime. At the moment, at most, they are "alleged criminals": Apart from anything else, the GPL doesn't actually give a specific time...

We can get UPSes for the GP2X now? Cool! No more battery life concerns! :)
