After figuring out how to stop it crashing the moment I start playing a media file (by putting in some fresh batteries ;) ) I finally got a chance to play an Ogg all through, and then use the media player to trial a 10-second clip I ripped from a DVD. The screen's everything I expected - the...

Actually, that's fine within the GPL: You only have a right to source code of software that you actually possess. You can't demand that GPL software be given to you, nor can you demand the source code of it. Only source code to software that has been distributed to you. Anti-GPL people do like...

I'd say both are equale, but I ticked "mostly movie" because I can play most of the games I want (emulated old games & doom) on the GP32, so the increased movie support was a big factor in the upgrade. . .

Technically, it's not enough to make the source code available: They are also obliged to declare that the software is GPL'd when they supply it. I haven't looked in any depth, but I certainly haven't seen anything in the GP2X or its manual that says anything other than that it's copyright by...

Update: Got it working! :) I used my Palm PDA to format it. It's gone very odd on fdisk, but it played about a second of an Ogg before crashing, so the card is there & accessible at this point. More will follow later when i have time for a decent analysis! I think I know what the problem was...

*sigh* FAT16 and formatting the device (sdb) instead of a partition (sdb1) have now been tried. Neither works: Everything just gives me a blank screen when I tell it to look at the SD card. Anything else I could try? :(

I think it would be remiss if we didn't mention "its friendly, helpful and knowledgeable global community" in here somewhere!

I'd like them to put "set bugs=off" in there if possible ;) Seriously, tho, an SD formatting option would be a really good idea. Either that, or much broader & more forgiving FAT support and/or some proper Linux filesystems. Can't comment on the other features, as I haven't been able to use...

Okay, so. . . I'll give FAT16 a try, and using the -I switch, and using sdb instead of sdb1. Cheers for the suggestions, I'll let you know how they go! Oh... and when they say "Over 1GB" - they don't include normal 1GB cards, that are of course a couple of bytes over that. . . do they. . ? :o

So, I've formatted the SD to FAT32 using "cfdisk" option 0B and "mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/sdb1". And yet still no files show up to the GP2X. Any suggestions as to what to try next? None of the other posts on the topic seem to have anything relevant, and I'm loosing heart at having possessed a...

If it's still needed, Guy, I've been planning a guide to ripping movies from DVD to a GP2X-friendly format. Trouble is, I was planning a web page aimed at Linux users, not a PDF guide aimed at the general public. . .

I did search. It didn't find anything useful. Just lots of posts about "USB doesn't work" and "SD doesn't work, oh I hadn't formatted it properly, whoops" and the like. Ah well. So it looks like all is well: My SD cards (and USB2 card reader) should arrive this morning, and everything will be...

I've tried the GP2X on my work (Windows XP) machine, and on my home Linux PC. Neither of them detects anything when it's plugged in - lsusb shows no devices, no system messages are generated, nothing. I've tried it with both the USB cable it came with, and the cable my USB harddrive uses. The...

Then you're not one of the people who ordered it a week or two ago that my post was aimed at, right? ;) Seriously, I was on the verge of sending an email myself on Friday, when other people who'd ordered on the same day as me had received the email, but I hadn't - That's a different kettle of...

Yeesh... you know, reading this thread full of posters who ordered a week ago and are demanding to know exactly when their new toy will be arriving, the thought that kept crossing my mind was "Imagine if all of us that pre-ordered back in September had had the same attitude" - we'd have flooded...

18th September. A long wait that's finally almost over :)

Yay! The email arrived today! :)

Anyone know what sort of speed the Ext. port supports?

A tiny keyboard that can be plugged into the extension slot of a GP32

I'd be willing to spend a reasonable amount on a good game. But having said that, all the games I like to play are already available free - Doom; LBreakout; Tetris; freecell. . . Plus all the eumulators, of course. So it'd have to be a pretty amazing game to make me want it!
