I had a nice post written and then the site didn't load after I posted so it disapeared... Anyway, I've been thinking about using a sinle unit connectet to a TV to play turn based games between multiple players allowing for hidden information on the screen and then using the TV to see the...

Not exactly a simple design compared to what they had before. It looks very asian though, they often have designs like that. However, they have the white unit there and completly designed the site after it. A bit weird considering there's only a black unit available. But we may see the white one...

Ah, didn't think about the lock-the-old-ID-solution :rolleyes: Yeah, if you can no longer buy anymore games for your own unit then it's effective. BTW, DRM protection could be used as an identifier for online games, that way only those with legal copies can play online. Online gaming through a...

Where would I use my GP2X? In my bed, on busses and in cars. A laptop is useable in a bed but not very comfortable, the rest is impossible. There are battery powered HDDs out there, getting like a 40GB one would be sweet because the movie capabilities are almost wasted when all you got are tiny...

I would pay for an optimised and well made emulator, money might inspire devs to work harder :)

I don't think anyone is gonna break their GP2X once every 3 months. Such a short time period means that you could allow your firend(s) to download the game as well. This could be solved by sending in your broken unit, although that would involve some extra shipping costs. Or you could allow say...

SDL works on GP2X so there shouldn't be much porting I guess. What "mag" are you talking about?

The problem with limited writes is when you want to use the memory for swap files as could be needed for some emulations. Basicly using the flash memory to cover up for the lack of RAM (some emus require more then 64MB!) would drasticly shorten the lifespan of any flash based memory. Normal...

Right now it seems that a host USB SDIO card is the best solution to any problem. Plug in a USB hub to your SDIO card and then you can connect WiFi, HDD, mouse, keyboard, joystick etc to the hub pretty much turning your handy GP2X into a semi portable entertainment system :) So what we need is...

It pays to look around: http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?showtopic=21190

Just looked it up. DRM is a term for various types of protection of digital media.

Digitalrat: We do have 2 CPUs. Or are you saying 2x200MHz isn't enough?

What Mini said is what I meant. You don't need everything in RAM or use a swap. Just reread the stuff that isn't in the RAM.

DRM have not been broken yet AFAIK :)

If you could somehow just read what you need at the moment from the SD card into RAM then the lifespan of the card shouldn't hurt right? The games shouldn't need to write to more then 64MB right? There has to be some way to stream things. Anyway, that technical stuff is above my head so don't...

From GPH's FAQ: "Compared to other cpu like Samsung 2440, itel, AMD, the one that we adopted has 2D accelerator that enables efficiency to be enhanced. Through the hardware test It is confirmed that the only high clock speed doesn’t make movie or game run fast. We inform you that 400Mhz without...

The official GP2X site says no host but SDIO (if someone writes dirvers). Does anybody know if there are any SDIO cards that have WiFi + an SD card reader? Personally I rather plug in a separate SD card into my WiFi card then storing stuff on the WiFi card. The problem is that the WiFi cards...

To the question of why they used 2x200MHz instead of 1x400MHz GPH said that the 200MHz thanks to it's 2D accelleration it would actually outpreform a 400MHz when dealing with 2D stuff. So for what GP2X is meant for, 2D that is, it should outpreform PSP which is designed for 3D and floating point...

GP2X have no host mode so you can't plug in any USB equipment unless you find a USB hub with host mode. (don't know if even that would work).

€ and $ are quite similar these days although € is about 10% more. Problem was that some people where using £ and € when discussing the same issue. DaveC said: "and invest $300.00 in the same games". GP2X is $180 so it would be a $330 total + shpping.
