Ugh me too! :rolleyes: I had to jump through hoops to get them to confirm the payment even after they'd taken my money through PayPal. By the time I was finished and they had got done thanking me and apologising for the fuck around, I get an email saying that the Mk1s are now out of stock and...

Be that as it may, aren't the new screens coming from the same source that the GP32 screens came from? I'm not sure where I picked that up from, but I think I saw it mentioned in one of the threads. If so Dave is probably making a fairly good guess. Haven't really seen anyone bitching about the...

Yeah, that's harsh. Goes to show what an mind bogglingly huge industry the whole electronic entertainment thing is becoming.

Damn. Now -that- makes sense. :)

I was thinking about this, but I'm wondering if you might take a performance hit, accessing a page file/swap partition over USB2. Totally guessing of course, I can't really get my head around the calculation required to work out whether the bandwidth and speed would be sufficient over a single...

Sure, if you see the only application of X as being a desktop replacement. I think the example of a BoB + TV + input devices takes it to an extreme, but plenty of PDAs are designed with a windowing interface. Using a standard like X means that if you want to multi-task basic graphical...

:lol: "all you need to do is port Linux to it" Sounds easy enough. I think the main reason getting an X server running on the GP2x is that it is -the- standard for graphical interfaces under Linux. That means - more potential applications and games for porting, more librarys and toolkits to...

Yeah, rather than considering the second core as a potential GPU, I would be more interested in investigating it as a fixed point math crunching machine and get the majority of a reasonably basic 3D engine running on the main CPU. I'm not sure the what most sensible way to remove the obvious...

Have you actually got your hands on a Mk2, Dave? I'd love to see a side by side comparison.. since I'm getting a Mk1 some time soon. Be nice to have some proof that I've made a reasonable decision. ;)

Just out of curiosity, how did you decide what ohm resistor to put in the first time around? What sort of cap did you put in, and is it the same as the original? Those battery times sound really good.

Yeah if you could, Craig, that would be awesome. Not much help for me though, I just placed my order for a Mk1. *cackles*

Thanks Hired Gun. I know these things tend to be subjective. I'm having a hard time containing my desire to place an order, tbh. Bought batteries, a charger and an SD card on Ebay yesterday. ;) I'd love me some Metal Slug.. heh.

Thanks for the reply man, do you think the blurriness you originally noticed would be irritating for reading text? I've never seen a GP32 of any kind, so I'm not really sure what the difference would be. The joystick is definitely a tempting reason to wait, though, but I'm not really afraid of...

I seem to remember him posting in a thread that after using the new screen for a while he was getting used to it, that it wasn't worse, just different. Be good to hear his opinion after a few days.

Hi all, I'm debating the merits of scoring one of the GP2xs that Lik-Sang are off loading before stocking the mk2. I'm hesitant though, cuz for a $30 saving I'll still need to fix the joystick myself, and there's the screen change. I'm wondering, is the new style screen any better or worse...

Fortunately Play-Asia don't have any AC adaptors in stock, otherwise I think I'd already have fired off an order. Self control issues. Damn I want one of these things. To the GBAX buyers, how much postage did you pay? Thanks, F

Excellent. Thanks for the replies. Sounds like good experiences all around, then. I think Play Asia is where I'd end up getting mine from. Thanks for the offer White Demon, I'll let you know if I get one that soon. :D Felix

Hi guys, I live in Australia and I'm planning on buying a GP2x some time this year (planning ahead 'cuz I have a fairly complicated project that I want to incorporate it into) and I was wondering if anyone can recommend reliable vendors that sell to Australia. A good price would also be nice...
