    Need A Guide To Stripping The Gp2x Apart

    No. He won't live that long. If you try to leave the Brotherhood of the GP2X (BoG), they come and kill you to keep you quiet. That's why the people who have sold their '2Xs don't post here anymore.

    Built In Battery Adapter Not Working!!

    I drop my GP2X sometimes and the pins get bent back (scares the bejesus out of me every time). I've put some card behind each pin to prevent it happening, gives a tighter fit to my 2000mAh batteries, too

    My New Computer From Newegg

    Since you seem to have some kind of in-depth knowledge of graphics cards: What would you say was the best value-for-money card available right now? I'm thinking high-end, that is I doubt my girlfriend will let me upgrade any time soon, though ;)

    My New Computer From Newegg

    I'm not trying to advocate one or the other, but if ATI is as superior as you say, a) why is nvidia still in business and B) why are nvidia not copying ATI? From the article David posted, I thought they made some good sense on the matter: Both types of card are trying to do different things...

    My New Computer From Newegg

    Do you know of any good sites that compare the two on the different technologies? I've looked so many times, but can never find anything. On the HDR+AA side, I played a game recently that did both on my geforce and I thought "oh, how weird". Can't remember what it was now, so I'll try to look...

    My New Computer From Newegg

    I agree with most of what Iignotus said. Those are almost exactly the cards I have in SLi, and they rock and the X2 3800+ to 4400+ jump is massive when you start on load-intensive work (games, video encoding, etc). However, I'm a big fan of having many smaller hard-drives over a few bigger...

    My New Computer From Newegg

    Can't really comment. I went from an X700Pro to 7800GTX. I've never checked the FPS on my Oblivion, but it's never been jerky (except when my scheduled defragger kicked in in the background... humm...). I was the same before I got mine, though. Couldn't find any good comparisons between ATI and...

    My New Computer From Newegg

    Woah! Just realised you're buying a PATA HDD! O_o You want to go SATA II, man. It doesn't cost that much more per drive and your mobo looks to support it.

    Mplayer 1.0 Pre 8 Alpha1 Released

    Possibly. I know where the mplayer is, but I'd read about people saying the way it interracted with the GP2X menu was funky weird

    GP2X How Do You Change Surface Color?

    Is it likely that this colour will be in other areas of the screen? You may want to consider blitting new text over the top of the old, if it is. The other examples here will change all occurances of the from colour.

    My New Computer From Newegg

    Eh? That /definitely/ has a heatsink, if you're sure it's the "Retail" version (ADA3800BVBOX, as you say). I've found the stock heatsink/fan to be fine for a typical set-up. I never really had the desire to overclock my comp. so can't speak about how far it can be pushed (wouldn't have thought...

    What Do Do With Old Desktop Pc?

    I concur. Is your new computer 1x300GB and 1x80GB? If so, those extra drives in the old one will be very useful as backup drives

    High Score Web Site

    I agree with Dzz. The problem isn't the encryption method, it's that the users will have access to the encryption method - so the website will have no way of telling if it was the app that encrypted the score or the user. I can only think of obfuscation (making it difficult for a human to...

    GP2X How Do You Change Surface Color?

    I'm not sure about faster, but it's definitely another approach. Perhaps I'll have a play when I'm at home and try to get some performance data from it. Another alternative (though probably not for this task) is to use a paletted surface and change the palette. However, this brings out new...

    Mplayer 1.0 Pre 8 Alpha1 Released

    Excellent! Is he (she?) planning on making it a drop-in replacement for the GP2X version, so that it will run from the video menu?

    GP2X How Do You Change Surface Color?

    Also, as I said, you may want to consider limiting the area you're checking (depending how much work this is expected to do). If you passed it a Rect, you could modify the two loops to only update that area (perhaps a "SetPixelColorRect" method). This is obviously assuming you know where the...
