    Worth It To Upgrade Firmware

    I upgraded to 2.1.1 - the boot time is longer, but I no longer have any crashes while watching videos.

    Gp2x Does Not See 4gb Sd Card On First Boot, But Does On Second Boot

    Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Unfortunately, the turnaround time will take ages (not someone I see that often). If I can get it sorted out, I'll post back here so if someone else runs into the same issue, they'll have a reference as to what to do. I may even just splurge on a different...

    Upgraded To Fw 3 And Now No Utility Menu And Sd Card Isnt Seen

    Aurora! Looks very professional, like an "official" skin. I'm also a fan of Liquido (another "serious" skin) and Pixel Love (which is just goofy and fun) :)

    Buying A Gp2x

    I recently jumped into the world of GP2X, and apart from an issue getting a 4GB SD card to work (still not resolved), I'm enjoying the hell out of it. I purchased my value pack from Dynamism, and a carrying case and screen protector from GP2Xstore.com. Speed of delivery was excellent with both...

    Gp2x Does Not See 4gb Sd Card On First Boot, But Does On Second Boot

    Yep, I've got a SanDisk 1GB card that I right-click formatted as FAT32 on a Windows 2K machine. Works just fine! :) As far as upgrading goes, my only reference is the SD Card table on the GP2X wiki. According to the table, FW 2.0 *should* be okay with the RiData 4GB card (and an identical...

    That's exactly right. Not sure where I'm going wrong?

    Gp2x Does Not See 4gb Sd Card On First Boot, But Does On Second Boot

    Thanks everyone, for your time and feedback! Ah, thanks for the clarification! :) Hmm. I tried both of those options, but Disk Management wouldn't finish the format because of the cluster size. The command line option finished, I dragged a folder of pictures onto the disk as a test, but the...

    3.0 Firmware Pre Loaded

    Metalstar - are you using rechargable NiMH batteries? I get a few hours' commuting time out of mine, then it's only 15 minutes to recharge them.

    Gp2x Does Not See 4gb Sd Card On First Boot, But Does On Second Boot

    I have a Ridata 4GB card (not SDHC, at least there no logo on it saying that) that I'm trying to get up and running. I don't have XP, though. Is it possible to format it properly on a Windows 2000 machine? When I right-click format, my only options are "FAT", "NTFS", and "FAT32". How would do a...

    3.0 Firmware Pre Loaded

    Same here - I booted down to 2.0 and enjoy it much, much, much more. I'll go for 2.1.0 next to fix some video issues. The 2.0 menu isn't nearly as pretty, but there are some great skins that are (IMHO) much better than the FW 3.0 version. Enjoy!

    Mac Osx - Can't Get Gp2x To See 4gb Sd Card

    Thanks, everyone, for the continued feedback. I ended up buying another SD card, this time a 1GB SanDisk (on sale for $20), and formatted it on my work PC (running Windows 2000) before doing anything. No surprise (but great relief!), it worked. I then used it to downgrade to FW 2.0 on the...

    Fw 3.0 - Help With Skins, Utility Menu, Etc

    As a fellow new(bie) GP2X owner whose unit also arrived with FW 3.0, if I may add onto this thread: - Are other FW 3.0 users having trouble reading their SD cards? - Is there a definitive "downgrading" guide available? I tried to load up my SD card with FW 2.0, placed it in the GP2X and...

    Mac Osx - Can't Get Gp2x To See 4gb Sd Card

    Thanks for the replies so far! imhotep The card I have isn't SDHC. carlgeorge - Are you on a PC or Mac? Also, have you heard if other firmware 3.0 lost their SD card access? I ordered it from Dynamism, and they offer tech support (I'm thinking that they might have actually opened up the...

    Mac Osx - Can't Get Gp2x To See 4gb Sd Card

    Hi Everyone, I'm a GP2X newbie, and a newbie to these boards as well. I tried searching the old threads, but couldn't find anything so am trying here. Along with my brand new GP2X (running firmware 3.0), I ordered a Ridata 4GB SD card. My iMac G5 (OSX 10.3.9) couldn't read the card with the...
