Well, that's one out of the 4 down, and some would say it was the least likely of them :D

I wonder if I'm the last person on the planet to receive a refund... I got the "action required" e-mail on November 30, and still haven't seen any money on my Visa card.

Well, if no-one else replies and you're really desperate, you could send it to me. Postage from US to New Zealand isn't too bad (probably about US$6-8), you get standard airmail and it will take 7-10 days each way. I'll fix it in no time and send it back to you, so you'll be without it for 20...

I recommend OpenOCD, it's a great JTAG tool and debugger front-end. You can send it commands through gdb's "monitor" command, or telnet into it directly if you just want to do some commands without debugging anything. It certainly allows you change memory and registers, and it allows you to...

In case you're interested, the "C106" part will be a tantalum capacitor, 10 microFarads. It'll be a power supply smoothing thing, and although your GP2X will probably run seemingly fine without it, it will probably behave strangely in certain (unknowable in advance) circumstances. It's...

Wikipedia has an interesting article about SD card speeds. Note "As of December 2005, most devices comply to the SD card specification 1.01, with maximum speed of 66x. Higher speeds of up to 133x are defined by specification 1.1." The data sheet for the GP2X's MMSP2 CPU says that its maximum...

I've just googled a little bit, and the only XD to SMC converters I found were limited to 128MB, for the same reasons discussed above. Think about it: SMC was only ever defined up to 128MB. The value of the "device type" that is read out from the card to discover how big it is, was never...

Welcome to the world of marketing! The official specs say that the cpu will run at 200MHz. I've never heard of anyone that can't run at that speed, so there's no misinformation there. "Cherry-picking" units known to overclock higher is perfectly valid, and the same sort of thing happens in...

Remember that USB is a master-slave bus (or "Host"-"Device" in USB language). When you connect your GP2X up to a PC, the PC is the host and the GP2X is the device. The normal USB connector on the GP2X is a device port, and so you can't network two GP2X's by connecting those ports together. The...

I don't think we're all talking about the same things. SD cards have a serial number which can be accessed very simply (sdk2x does it since last year). Have a look at sdk2x, it's HH code but could be made to run in GP2X-Linux pretty easily. As for the CPRM stuff that Squidge is talking about...

Heh, reminds me of when Homer Simpson bought Marge (who hates bowling) a bowling ball with "H. S." engraved on it... It's a nasty trick, you are a bad boy, but who would let a bunch of strangers from an internet forum change their mind? ;)

No, it will not be available. USB2.0 (I presume you mean high speed, 480MB/s) is a huge increase in complexity for the host circuitry, and also for the CPU running the host. It's not available on any small, low-power CPUs and certainly won't be offered as an "upgrade" to the CPU in the GP2X...

Yep, I'm Rob Brown. Glad that sdk2x has been useful! I'd love to get to the bottom of this, please post here if you get a solution.

I've noticed that as well, and all I can think of is that the LCD controller hasn't been set up correctly or something. How are you setting up the LCD controller?

BZZT! There are no open-source SDIO stacks for Linux. Here is one explanation of why, although the guy is overly negative (probably because his company sells a closed-source SDIO stack). There is plenty of open-source SD memory code, but SDIO really doesn't seem to be happening. The USB WiFi...

You don't need to load any extra modules. The first thing to check is, have you enabled the usb functions in the Settings menu? There's a whole bunch of settings there like USB Host Enable and Mass Storage Enable. Turn on everything that looks relevant. After that, if it still doesn't work, I...

That's a generic file, which doesn't have your project's settings in it. There must be another file, so find that and post it. It looks like you're not linking the pthread library. What is the complete linker line that you are using? The libraries that should be added would be something like...

In the first question, the compiler would sometimes notice that someFunction() is invariant and move it out of the loop. It can only do that if the function is in the same file, and some other conditions are met, so in general it's best to do what rtb7 says. For the second question: personally...

You're right, and your second example will work. If you want to use just a little bit of C++, then you can declare the function so that parameters are always passed by reference rather than by value, and so you don't have to use the & in every function call.

Hey pea, Did you know there's now a New Zealand distributor for GP2X? Check this out. Nice to see you back, you'll see a few things have changed, while lots has stayed the same :) Maybe your poll should ask how many consoles people own? I have 2x GP32 and 2x GP2X :D
