I have a question, and this isn't meant as a troll, but rather as a call for comparison: Why would I buy an F200 instead of a Nintendo DS? Both have dpads, both have touchscreens, both have homebrew development. I bought one of the "first edition" F100s and was never happy with the...

That matches my experience exactly. I pushed it in as fas as I could, then freaked out when the menus wouldn't work :) After a couple minutes pulling and rotating, I got it just the way I like it. The stick is a definite improvement, I have much fewer problems with diagonals now, and it feels...

Dude, that's just rude! :D

Yeah, I ordered mine last night too. I'll post my initial impressions when I get it, looking forward to lasting more than 10 seconds on Jumpman Jr :)

Aargh! not again!!! OK, the first time I sided with them, but now they're just being stupid :angry: They *know* what the deal is now, my advice to them is to get the latest source from dignsys, and cancel the contract with them. There are plenty of people right here that can take that source...

I just upgraded, no problems (no 3rd party patches/skins, using a SanDisk 1GB card). My USB on WinXP is still unhappy (Windows claims my "device is defective" unless I plug it into a USB 1.0 hub, and then it claims that my "device could work faster" - you can't win :))

No need to call SDL_Delay if you want to wait for vblank. From the SDL HTML manual (emphasis mine):

Make sure that the cards are formatted using FAT32, the one I got was formatted as plain FAT.

I would recommend making a few prototypes (from wood or cheap plastic) by hand and giving them out to a few nitpicky people (just look at the forums) to test before committing to the big expensive run. Nothing will kill your venture faster than a couple dozen posts saying "smurf's new joystick...

Well ok, raise the gp2x a few millimeters. It's not like my drawing was an accurate blueprint anyway...

Hehe, we both had the same idea at the same time - must be good :)

Looks really nifty! expect to pay as much for that as for the gp2x though. Here is the manufacturer's page, where you can get a lot more info, including MSRP ($199). Add parts and labour, and we're looking at around $225-$250 for the gp2x version. Mind you, if you can afford it, it looks way...

I'm 34. My first computer was a C64 with tape drive (I was 13 at the time), upgraded a few years later to an Amiga. Played a lot with a friend's Atari ST, and (earlier) with another friend's speccy. Used DOS and different unix boxes at uni (bzflag on an SGI Onyx rulz :P) Hehe, I just...

Really? If a boot cycle takes longer than about a minute, I just switch off assuming there was a deadlock somewhere. Man, if I did that with my linux desktop (power cycle in the middle of an fsck) it would've been sooo fried by now. Looks like I've been living on the edge :blink: What's the...

THANK YOU!!! that's going to make debugging so much easier (I've gotten spoilt with visual studio's awesome debugger :))

That seems wrong to me, it basically seems to be saying that either all the code has to be GPL or the parts that are not must be a binary distribution. I know the GPL has some kooky aspects to it, but that seems to be going against the spirit of it (ie "show me the source")

Actually, I do have problems with thew down direction too (sometimes it doesn't register so I have to press down a few times), I assumed it was a bug in the ebook reader, it's the gp2x program I use in which the down direction gets used the most. When you say 'the screws', you mean the case...

I'm guessing this an internal mod where we'd send you our units and you'd put extra stuff in them. How would this affect the guarantee? have you struck some sort of deals with the other dealers where they trust you not to break the units (since you've been doing this sort of thing for a while)...
