    Coming Soon ... Retrovirus Rts

    Thos_thom, thank-you for your generous offer to share the name, I was genuinely touched. Your game looks like it will be a lot of fun and I look forward to playing it. I see no harm looking for an alternative name, in fact, if anyone on the board has a suggestion I would love to hear it. What...

    Gp2x Freezes At Firmware V2.0.0 Black Boot Screen

    Try different batteries. I had the exact same problem with a pair of rechargables two days ago. I had them in the charger for maybe 24 hours but they were dead on arrival in the gp2x. I think maybe one battery is faulty? Or overcharging was bad or something. Anyway, it doesn't sound like your...

    Network Over Usb

    Hello, I have a piece of code that is basically: sock = urllib.urlopen("http://www.google.com") htmlSource = sock.read() but I would have no idea how to set up my gp2x so that it has an active connection to the internet via my usb cable. There is a page in the...

    Gp2x Community Game Contest!

    I hope you will consider allowing games to require python installed. It would certainly encourage me to write a new game.

    Gp2x Freezes At Firmware V2.0.0 Black Boot Screen

    HUZZAH! I got it working. The problem was the gparted on my dapper ubuntu was slightly dodgy. So I apt-got a newer version, it formatted fat32 (but didn't like it - apparently sd cards are not too fond of fat32?) and viola, it's "formatting - please wait" even as we speak. You have no idea how...

    Gp2x Freezes At Firmware V2.0.0 Black Boot Screen

    The SD card was the 1gig that came with my machine from gp2x.co.uk ... can I test to see if it is recognised in anyway (without a special cable)? EDIT: I deleted the partion on the card and reformatted it with gparted as fat32, but there was an error. It would not format at fat32. However, it...

    Gp2x Freezes At Firmware V2.0.0 Black Boot Screen

    I formatted my SD card fat32, copied the eleven files ingp2x-f100_200_060428.zip on to the SD card, "locked" the SD card (read-only) and held down START+SELECT while turning on the gp2x ... it just sat on the black boot screen "GP2X firmware v2" and never changed (I switched it off after about 7...

    Gp2x Freezes At Firmware V2.0.0 Black Boot Screen

    Yes I have. I guess my problem is that looking at the documentation (FAQs, user guide, threads, DJWillis guide), I get the kind of feeling that it is bricked, but there's no "How to tell if your GP2X is bricked" section that spells it out for idiots like me! I mean, it won't boot into the menu...

    Gp2x Freezes At Firmware V2.0.0 Black Boot Screen

    Hi, I have upgraded my gp2x several times (1.0 -> 1.2 -> 1.4), and this week I decided to upgrade to 2.0 ... However, now the unit doesn't get past the initial boot screen (black background with firmware v2 written on it). I have a bad feeling this means it is bricked, but now I'm not really...

    Firmware 2.0.0 Updater

    Hello, My gp2x seems to stop at stage 2: "2) Let U-Boot update the rest of the system" I switched it on holding down Start and Select it just sits on the black opening screen with "firmware v2" written on it. Is this bad? EDIT: Got it working. You need to format fat32. fat16 will not work...

    Tunar

    Hi, sorry you are having so much trouble! Are you sure you have copied all the files across to your SD card? In particular all the ones in: /Games/tunar/sound/ eg: /Games/tunar/sound/trumpet.ogg (this seems to be missing or empty?) Anyway, good luck! Luke

    Oh! The Humanity! V1.0

    .tar.gz is a compressed file like a .zip file, you need the correct unarchiver to unzip it. I don't know what that is on windows, sorry. On gnome or KDE you just click on it, or from the terminal you can just do tar -xzvvf file.tar.gz... Have you ever thought about installing ubuntu linux...
