I think you can get a type of solder "pen" which obviously uses a conductive ink. If I was you I'd look at getting some kind of conductive substance between the contact points, and not just glue them together. You'll probably either end up with a poor connection, or glue IN the connection...

Probably depends on whether they're measuring from the outsides of the threads on each side. I don't have a screwdriver small enough to take one of mine out. Sorry.

Yeah, thanks both of you, I know my batteries are to blame and I am suspicious of whether they've been labeled falsely.. wouldn't surprise me. I have a slow/smart charger, I just wasn't able to use it straight away until I bought an adaptor, although again I'm dubious about the quality of the...

I figure I might as well post my first impressions, since with uni work and stuff I wont get time to write up an in depth review for some time. I bought mine from Play-Asia along with a carry case and power supply. SD Card, batteries and charger I bought from a couple of E-Bay stores. The...

You probably need to grab a .cfg file off the wiki.

It'll have the Payback demo and Vektar loaded into the NAND, check 'em out and then delete 'em if you're desperate for some space. Should be able to fit DrMD and a bunch of roms on there if you're so inclined. Duke3D on my 2gig card takes up 27.3 meg, DrMD 1.6meg, and I've got four roms on...

What method do you guys use to enter text? I can't use the little keyboard thing for anything extended.. far more painful than using the Sterm virtual keyboard, cuz you actually have to hit the right keys on the screen.

Just got mine. Woo.

I got mine today too! I'll probably put a review and some high rez photos up later, but I'm swamped with Uni work at the moment. Same situation as Imekon. I sat here and finished writing up my JavaDoc comments before opening my package from UPS. But now I've got it. Woohoo!

Sam - if you have a hard time maintaining Linux installs, and don't have the time to learn how to do it by hand, choose a distro with strong package management. Debian or perhaps Gentoo like you're already running, if you get some kind of masochistic pleasure from watching GCC do its thang. On...

I ordered from Play-Asia and it's on its way. So, at the very least, the new units have been sent out to the distributors. Woop woop woop. Way too excited.

I've had my GP2x on back order with Play-Asia for a couple of weeks now, almost going out of my mind with anticipation. I just received an email from Play-Asia letting me know that my order has been dispatched via UPS. :D Anyone else have backordered units they're looking forward to? Not...

*cackles* Now you're just doing it intentionally. Patrition table? Anyway, agreed, Ubuntu is slow.. at least using the default desktop manager. Supposedly the latest version of Gnome, which will come with the next release of Ubuntu, is much faster. The comparisons I've read are mind boggling...

Blue tanktop == me. :blink: FTW

I think you'll find that -you- chose which partitions to change/reformat. If you want any advice regarding getting a dual boot install working, now would be a good time to ask for it.. since, you know, you're about to reinstall Windows anyway. If you actually want to get Linux and Windows...

If you can get it to work, SLAMD64 would probably be the way to go. I never had any luck with it though and just stuck with regular old Slack 10.2 for the longest time. All the other 64bit distros I tried were really bloated and slow. I'm glad I went with Slackware, because even though it's...

Sweet jesus, some of you people are young. Crash Bandicoot? I mean.. the PS1 as a first gaming platform?! :lol: I'm having a hard time getting my head around someone growing up after 3D hardware became mainstream. My first game would've been Breakout or some weird game called Android, or...

I think he's guessing based off one post from Craigix's first impressions thread. Then later, in another thread, So... if that's the only reason the screen isn't supposed to be as nice it isn't much to complain about. Sounds more like it's different, not worse. It'll be nice to get some more...

I'm in much the same position. Living in Sydney, wanted a GP2x. Bought an SD card, batteries/charger and card reader on EBay. Ordered my unit + power supply from Play Asia. I originally ordered from Lik-Sang when they were offloading their MK1s for cheap, but they ran out of stock after...
