    Apps On The Built-in Flash Memory

    As the title says - I'm curious to know what applications people find so vital that they put them onto the on-board memory rather than leaving them on SD cards. Do you have a full 32MB of stuff crammed in? Not use it at all? A select few apps? Inquiring minds want to know ;)

    First Draft Of A Gp2x Presentation For Linux Users

    This is just the text of what I'll be saying - the slides etc. to illustrate will follow later. . . It all started in 2001 with the GP32. This was created by a Korean company, funded by the Korean government, in order to supply a small video game console to people living in a country where...

    A Universal Emulator Frontend

    Just something that came up in the conversation about the Gp2X being too geeky for FHM readers - it would be nice all around if the playing of emulated games could be simplified. Essentially, it revolves around making the emulation invisible to the user: Instead of loading the emulator and then...

    Lug Presentation

    So, I made the mistake of letting my local LUG know I've got a GP2X, and now they want me to do a presentation on it :) No problem there, but I'm happy to admit my ignorance about many aspects of the GP2X. I use it to play movies & Doom and the like, but I've never gotten around to using MAME...

    Guide To Unbricking

    Since I seem not to be the only one who's had problems with unbricking, I figured I'd try & get a comprehensive guide to doing it in place. http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/GP2X/unbrick.htm Any feedback on how to improve it would be appreciated, particularly if they increase a user's chances of...

    Even Bob Won't Unbrick :(

    I've got a first edition GP2X that bricked itself on the first attempt at firmware upgrading. So I got a BoB, arrived at the weekend. Connected BoB to a Windows PC & the Gp2X, ran the software that comes with the manual: E:\>GP2XRecovery.exe JTAGProbe - JTAG interface to the ARM9TDMI/ARM7TDMI...

    A "squares" Game

    I've no idea if this game is played elsewhere in the world, but it was popular when I was a kid in school.. We played it on paper, but the GP2X controls could almost have been designed for it. So I figured I'd suggest it, in case anybody's looking for a game idea :) The game's simple: You draw...

    White Screen = Irretrievably Bricked?

    None of my SD cards would upgrade the firmware, so I finally bought a Fuji 256MB one & gave it a go. Yay, the frimware upgrade message appeared. And stayed there, for about five hours, until I finally decided it was locked up. And now, I get the white screen that slowly fills with coloured...

    Could You Mod A Touchscreen?

    Just curious (I've never even played with a DS) but with all the "having two screens gives DS games a totally revolutionary interface" hype, it saddened me that the GP2X would never be able to produce its own DS-style games. But then I found that you can actually buy USB touchscreens, and I...

    Icon Size

    I'm working on a skin or two, but before I risk actually shunting them onto my Gp2X: Do all the images have to be the exact same size as the existing images, or is the GP2X smart enough to work with slightly different sizes? I don't mind if the answer's "It'll work but look crap", I just need...

    "what Games Will I Like?"

    When it comes to getting suggestions for new music to listen to, there's last.com and Gnomoradio and iRate radio and probably loads of others: They analyse what you like to listen to, compare you to other people who like the same stuff, and play you music the other people have also liked and...

    A Dvd Ripping Guide

    Righto, here's my first attempt. It's really aimed at Linux users, but the techniques should be applicable to just about anybody with ripping software: http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/GP2X/rip.htm And feedback'd be appreciated, so long as it's more constructive than "It sucks!" ;)

    Dvd Rips

    So I want to do a little guide for ripping from DVDs to your GP2X. As part of it, I'd like to have some actual samples of some well-known DVD to illustrate what I'm talking about. So I'd like to know: - Does normal "fair use" stretch to five-second clips of a movie being made available for...

    Sd Card Doesn't Work :(

    So, I've formatted the SD to FAT32 using "cfdisk" option 0B and "mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/sdb1". And yet still no files show up to the GP2X. Any suggestions as to what to try next? None of the other posts on the topic seem to have anything relevant, and I'm loosing heart at having possessed a...

    No Usb (linux Or Windows)

    I've tried the GP2X on my work (Windows XP) machine, and on my home Linux PC. Neither of them detects anything when it's plugged in - lsusb shows no devices, no system messages are generated, nothing. I've tried it with both the USB cable it came with, and the cable my USB harddrive uses. The...

    What Filesystems?

    I've not seen it mentioned on any FAQs - does anybody know what file formats we'll be able to use on the SD cards out of the box? Will we be stuck with FAT again? Or will the stock kernel have support for some decent Linux filesystems?

    Usb On The Gp2x

    I can't seem to find an answer on any of the "about the GP2X" web pages I've found, so maybe somebody here can tell me: When it says the GP2X has USB connectivity: Is this like my digital camera has USB, and all it does is give access to the flash disk; or is it genuine, full-blown USB that...
