    The Next Gp*x Revision

    Ah yes of course, but they wouldn't have to be AA shaped - Ideally it would be a flat rectangle of some kind.. Not only would there be risk AA sized Li-ion cells being charged incorrectly, but also the voltage for a single cell is about 3.7V or something like that (I think its supposed to be...

    State Of The Gp2x Address

    Probably the same reason (according to Terry Pratchett) why people don't see Death. It's too disrupting to the natural order of things for another black gaming handheld to exist. Its all about religion.... It also has linux, and beauteous AA batteries. It'll still run 200yrs from now. Edit...

    Cheap 4gb Sd

    I think the only thing that's guaranteed is that they are 4gb. It could be any brand and any speed, from my reading of it.

    Joystick

    Ah - yes... My point exactly... Didn't they? So perhaps the grease is to reduce wear.... Who started this anyway? :)

    Joystick

    I dunno steel makes pretty good springs. Gold isn't so great... I'd say grease is good for smoothing the motion, as in a viscous resistance to motion. Wd-40 will do a pretty good job at preventing rusting/oxidising. I suppose it all depends in how you like the joystick to feel, though as its...

    Firmware 3.0.0

    Ftp the gp2x and delete the trash? Or will it involve increase in the 'partition size' (not sure if the linux part is just hidden folders or actually an extra hidden partition)? All those tutorials/manuals etc should come on a disk instead, I mean can you really use a GP2x without a PC...

    Cheap 4gb Sd

    Hmm some suggestion on google that Keymem might be rebranded Samsung memory. I think it really is a bit of a lucky dip though; Edit; Fixing some English.

    Cheap 4gb Sd

    I think the brand and details may vary, they're sticking their own labels on them I'm guessing - so some one getting one, and it working won't necessarily be helpful. Still, do we get to put it on the expense account? ;) It is pretty much half that of anywhere else, so very very tempting...

    Cheap 4gb Sd

    There's a £10 2GB card too, its probably a lot more likely to be compatible. Still add on four pounds postage and one is tempted just to go for the unknown of the 4gb. Just how compatible is the GP2X since the latest firmware? Is that measurable? I bet they're toshiba..

    Cheap 4gb Sd

    Hey that is a good deal, so good, I'm suspicious, and why is it a picture of the back of the card? In other words it could be a bit up in the air - but its almost certainly not SDHC which really wouldn't work. At that price, its almost worth taking the chance, Sd card compatibility is bound to...

    I Got Gpsp (gba) Running With Sound!

    The wiki article on this is rather good - and there was me asking silly questions. Somebody has already done the work of finding useful info!

    Stable Video Player?

    Surely mpeg4 avi is a fairly compatible format, and if you have a GP2x, why would you use any other portable device for video on the go. Pocket encoder takes most formats too. I would just keep two versions of videos, one for pc full size, and one for gp2x/other qvga. Unless there are other...

    I Got Gpsp (gba) Running With Sound!

    I agree absolutely. This release model does make more sense; but yeah it tough when there's just these little things, and you think... Just one line of code... Though we did get the mute button! Glad to know Zodttd hasn't disappeared, besides I don't see why a programmer should be attracted by...

    I Got Gpsp (gba) Running With Sound!

    Umm... I was still going to play it on the GP2X. I would rather play it in crawl mode than with no backlight(original GBA) I know I'm weird perhaps, but I like having an easy conscience, and not breaking laws - even if they do protect people who are already horribly rich, unlike me. I'll readily...

    I Got Gpsp (gba) Running With Sound!

    55pages, 818? posts..... Maybe I'll wait to be pleasantly surprised... @subcon Thanks, now I've got a little bit more definition as to what to put into a search engine, of course I was just curious. Must say I'm tempted by the report on Baldur's gate Dark alliance, I might buy it... Zodttd...

    I Got Gpsp (gba) Running With Sound!

    AAH! 184 to go! That's far too much gibberish to wade through. Out of curiosity, were there actually any games that sound worked in? Edit; error in calculation - don't ask.

    What's Up With You Guys?

    Oddly enough in most other forums, threads are locked when they - er go off topic. Usually minor straying is allowed of course, its a judgment thing. More thoughts I was actually thinking of modding one to be a sort of docking station. I was going to add an Sd card slot in (cheap 30e mp3...

    What's Up With You Guys?

    Oh I don't see the harm in a few videos to brainwash the masses into becoming programmers, gadget freaks and retro gamers.... :) Maybe we'll get a few more devs out of it? Edit; added 'becoming' these things don't happen overnight.

    What's Up With You Guys?

    Its has to be admitted its really odd, considering such interesting things such as opengl engine/egoboo have just appeared - demonstrating that the GP2x can do 3d, and not only that has just begun the embarkation in that direction. The Gp2x is a great piece of hardware. It has its faults but it...

    Gp2x And N64

    So tell me this engine isn't still in its infancy? Rixed had said these things and as he is the actual coder of this, I think it rather qualifies him. gpu940 will improve if work is continued on it. I very much suspect that we may have a decent 3d implementation, using a piece of hitherto unused...
