Maybe the problem here is with tab characters. 'make' requires tabs before any commands that it's actually going to run. This forum software doesn't display any tabs in entries, so maybe your makefile does have them after all... Certainly, the clean target needs a tab, as in:clean: <tab>rm -f...

Oh. My. God. Turn in your "GP32 Old-timer's card" at the door when you leave. That is a lame mistake to make, and well beneath a (previously) well-respected community member such as yourself! Anyway, so you're now running at 1.97V? Try going to a higher frequency and see how you get on ;)

Well, there's a million things that might be going on with your GP32 that I can't see from here, but I wouldn't give up on it just yet. The CPU needs to be in pretty good condition to even display the logo screen, so if you can get that far, you may have reason to hope! What resistor values...

Shane R. Monroe: "open" is about choice... I use firefox, I haven't seen any extensions that I cared to install, and so I've have precisely zero problems with updates breaking extensions. I have, however, experienced forced (or at least, "critical") IE updates hosing my Windows installation...

I have to reply to this, because a lot of the answers here are bollocks :) First off, if you can find a 512MB chip that's the same package as the 64MB one, it will work. The NAND flash addressing scheme uses an 8-bit bus for data and addresses, and you send a 25-bit address (for 64MB) or a...

Missing option: GPH will never listen to us, so why bother even trying? Sorry to be negative, but it is obvious that GPH are not interested in their western customers, and it's only due to craigix's damned hard work that they are even slightly moving on the GPL issues. Let's get whatever code...

Wikipedia has a pretty good explanation. Most SD cards will do 4 bits per transfer at 25MHz, that is 12.5MB/s. This corresponds to "80x" on the speed scale. MMC cards on the other hand only do 1-bit transfers at a maximum of 10MHz, so the data rate is 1.25MB/s, or about "8x". Faster SD cards...

Actually the question is not so much about your etiquette, but that of the developers. People need to make it clear what they will allow with their code, when they release it. Giving it a known license (like GPL or whatever) is best, because then you've given a clear signal about what the code...

rokdcasbah, you're asking for a religious war here! People will always argue the 1000-vs-1024 point like they argue the vi-vs-emacs or Windows-vs-Linux points. No reason to do it, it's just human nature. Some pedantic bastards created "kibibytes", symbol kiB, to indicate 1024 bytes, because "k"...

Hey all, I have made a new flasher, which will update the kernel to 1.2.1 for those whose SD cards are not recognised by the boot-time updater. When I made the last updater, there were several reports of the flash process failing and GP2X's not booting after the update. In response to that...

First off, try using some punctuation. Second, try telling us more information. What are you trying to do? Are you using Linux? What distro/version etc? What desktop manager are you using? If you're using KDE, then try KolourPaint. It's very similar to MS Paint.

I think you'll find that rlyeh's minimal lib has inter-processor shared memory working. I know he talked about it. Perhaps you could look at his source and see what he did?

You should see a blank screen for about 3 seconds, then a messed-up screen for maybe 2 seconds, and then some test telling you about the progress of the flash update. Getting a blank screen probably means that program failed to load. Did you put the files in the root of your SD card? If so...

The update from GPH includes a new kernel, which is in the gp2xkernel.img file, and a bunch of other updated files as well (mplayer, E-book viewer etc). My updater only updates the kernel. So, to get the full update, you need to run my updater, and then also run the GPH updater apart from its...

zombie13 and Minkoff: It's an unfortunate fact that when you can only test something in a limited way and then release it to a much wider audience, unforeseen things will happen. While I'm not apologising for "bricking" your GP2X's, I didn't intend for it to happen and I'm disappointed that it...

Russ Meyer: You should get a blank screen for maybe 3 seconds, then a messed-up screen for 2 seconds, and then some text telling you what's going on. Possible solutions if that's not what you're getting: - Did you put the files in the root of your SD card? It won't work if they're in a...

Russ Meyer: it's actually a "Game" rather than a "Utility". deadlychicken22: the test program will display something on the LCD... either "Completed Successfully" or some sort of error message. You will certainly know whether it succeeded or not. Oh, I see you tried it. Good for you :D

A couple of updates: 1) On the green loading screen, as well as the faint border, it also says "Version 1.1.0" in small letters near the centre of the screen. Not sure how I missed that before :D 2) It is normal for the GPH updater to just display a black screen for a few seconds and then...

I've made a utility for updating the kernel on the GP2X. Note that it ONLY updates the kernel, so after you have done this, you'll still need to run GPH's update utility. The standard disclaimer applies: You follow this process at your own risk. I will not accept responsibility for any damage...

Hey Squidge, That's good to know about the PLX code. Could you please put it somewhere public, or alternatively send it to me and I'll put it on cobbleware? Thanks!
