    New Unannounced Logitech Mouse

    This might be of interest to any of you who are hardware junkie's like me! :P I was looking over an online store a few minutes ago and saw a reference to Logitech's MX1000 mouse. Altough it hasn't been announced on Logitech's website yet, it seems that it's their next-gen mouse and is pretty...

    A Note On Spray Painting Your Gp32s

    I've had my black and silver spray painted GP32 case for a while now and have noticed something not-so-good about it ;) The silver spray paint I used for the buttons, joystick, etc, seems to rub off onto the black casing. This has meant I now have silver smudges between, for example, my A and B...

    Wanted: Broken Gp32 Blu Pcb

    I need the socket that is on a GP32 BLU's PCB, into which the LCD ribbon's connector plugs. So anyone with a broken BLU, I'll buy the PCB off you (As long as the socket is not damaged that is) :)

    Desperately Need A Working Blu Lcd Screen

    As happened with my FLU before, I think I have somehow damaged my BLU's LCD :( The bottom half of the LCD works fine the top half is garbage. GP32 itself works fine though, so I need a new BLU screen. If anyone has one (maybe from a broken BLU), I'll be happy to buy it off you!

    Gp32 Modded To Hell And Back (in One Piece)

    What did you do over the weekend? Did you paint your GP32 BLU black and silver, using Plastikote enamel spray paint? Did you whack superbright LED's into it's Start and Select buttons? You didn't? Shame on you!

    Blu Info

    Seeing as I opened up my BLU as soon as I got it, I thought I'd share a little info on it's internals. My BLU's speakers are different to the ones that were in my FLU, looks like they *may* have a bigger driver on the back. They seem to sound better to me, although it's hard to tell. The BLU's...

    Gp32 Blu Components N Stuff

    I was thinking, its been awhile since Gamepark produced GP32s, and when they did the quality of the components tended to vary, as noted by the fact that some will overclock to 166Mhz out of the box, whereas others require a mod. What are peoples thoughts on the BLU in this respect? Most of the...

    Wanted: Lcd Screen

    I need a new screen for my GP32, as I think mine is broken :( (or has a poor ribbon cable on it at least) Anyone in the UK have a spare screen they're looking to sell? Maybe from a dead GP32 (flu/non-flu - doesn't matter)?

    Gp32 Flu Brightness Control!

    After reading the thread about MashMod's GP32 dimmer chip a while ago, I thought I'd have a go at producing a simpler method of FLU brightness control, namely using a potentiometer. The results are more than I expected! Using a small 1K pot, I can now adjust the brightness of my FLU from full...

    GP32 Ext Port Question / Ir Update

    My EXT port's Tx pin is constantly at 3.3v unless it is sending a signal (i.e. it is active low), which is a bit of a pain when it comes to controlling things via the port (simple circuits become more complicated for components that expect high signals to represent data) An easy way around this...

    GP32 Uart Example Code

    I have my IR reciever plugged into my GP32's EXT port now. If I boot into the Euro firmware and then use a TV remote on the reciever, it opens the mp3 player and then makes the help screen open/close (I don't know why the Euro firmware is watching the EXT port, but it is...) So I know it works...

    256mb/512mb 3.3v Smartmedia

    I've read a bit of discussion here regarding using 256mb Smartmedia in the GP32 and it normally concludes that either there are no 256mb Smartmedia cards available at the moment/256mb ones run off 5v and thus won't work/etc Recently I found 3 places that claim to sell 256mb Smartmedia cards...
