Back from Spain, and I hardly had the chance to play the gp2x myself; it was confiscated by my 11 year old cousin whose parents didn't allow her to bring her NDS Lite with her, for fear of it getting lost or stolen...
She loves it! Now she won't be buying one soon (or ever, actually), but...
...So don't insult the authors of the software used on gp2x by calling the explorer thingie "Finder" and the mp3 player "gTunes".
Other than that: "*yawn*, yet another aqua theme for a non-mac device, by some mac nut that wants to paint everything he sees aqua"... Oh, and why the...
Depends on your firmware; with the old firmware (pre 2.0.0) I wasn't able to use the USB cable to upload stuff to the gp2x; not even with the special USB driver that's linked to somewhere on these boards. Once I upgrade to 2.0.0 though, it connected fine. Downside is you need an SD card to...
Same here; used it on my flight to and from Spain this summer, and using it on my flight to Spain tomorrow (and the flight back on Sunday) as well. But yeah, as PokeParadox pointed out: use headphones or turn the sound off; it's quite annoying when someone next to you has a little bleeping thing...
Apparently some dude at Gameworld Network seems to think Sony actually did a good thing; for those interested in the article, here's the link.
Can't say I agree with the man; I think most of his arguments are plain bullshit. For example, he claims every imported PSP/PS3/whatever is a lost sale...
Well, SD cards are pretty cheap nowadays; I think I paid like €20 for mine, which was 1GB...
But if you really can't afford one right now, you might get by by just using the NAND storage, depending on the size of a Genesis rom (don't know how big they are); you got 64MB to store shit on, built...
Meanwhile, some people, such as myself, just need a SD card reader so they can offload the images from their camera's SD card to their laptop, and put some apps/ebooks/mp3s on their gp2x's SD card, while they're out of the country. For such people, a small thumbdrive style SD card reader is a...
...leave a gap of a couple of millimeters so your SD card cases wouldn't stay inside. Fixed that with super glue and a screwdriver though, at least *that part* of the case was fixable...
Other than that, it's not super rugged; I wouldn't drive a car over it with the gp2x or any other valuable...
I just dusted off the gp2x; had a couple of busy weeks, and no time to toy around with it. But seeing as how I will be traveling to Spain again next week, with no Internet connection all week long, I decided to buy a new battery charger and stock up on games for the trip and the long boring week...
...thing, come to a sudden stop, get thrown onto the floor, and end up falling onto my backpack... Now I'm not a lightweight; that's about 90 kg's *dropped* on top of a backpack full of expensive electronics. Man, I thought the laptop was dead for sure... Those big LCD screens aren't exactly...
...to intellectual property; they use FOSS, but something as simple as those wrapper classes would never get released back to the community since it might be used by the competition... As if the competition wouldn't be able to make decent websites in a short timeframe without those classes *rofl*.
...can easily press it...
At least that old Alcatel phone my mother had back in the days was a bit smarter; it made you press something like 1, 5, 9 or something along those lines... Now that's quite a bit harder to do unintentionally than "nokia smiley", *...
Glad it seems to work for you...
Yes and no. MySQL is pretty retarded, but it's good enough for what most people use datbases for anyway.
The stuff that irks me the most about MySQL is that it doesn't throw errors or warnings when you try to insert, say a string value into an integer field... Sure, it's wrong, and I (or the...
Yeah, and what's worse... Wine was only mentioned once, and beer and whisky were completely omitted...
Get your priorities straight, woman! ;)
Nonsense, I never even met you!
Oh, wait... loveliest? My bad, I thought you said "ugliest"... :lol:
Depends; I still torrent stuff if I wanna see it like now, and not somewhere next week, but other than that I find I'm buying more DVDs as well, though I usually stick to the budget titles because 25 Euros for a movie is just too much... At around 15 I start considering it reasonable though...
Although it wouldn't be too hard to emulate most of Doom 3 on the gp2x; you don't even have to power it up, actually...
Just leave your unit off, and look at the black screen. Yup, that's pretty much what most of Doom 3 looks like anyway... And who said we couldn't outdo iD software? ;)
My unit didn't come with firmware 2.0. It came with whatever firmware it was that was two versions older (can't be arsed to look it up as it doesn't matter what number it was anyway). And it's only a couple of months old too. The place I bought it from probably had a large inventory of older...
