    Craigix Discloses Information On New Gp2x?

    It's a bit sad when handhelds released by nintendo have better publicly available documentation than an "open" device. I guess trying to figure out unknown hardware is much more difficult when there are less devs, no games to reverse and no professional developers using official dev kits to leak...

    What Cluster Size Do You Guys Use?

    The large cluster size doesn't cause a waste of space if you are storing files much bigger than the cluster size. How many users of large capacity cards are using them to store loads of < 32Kb files? I'd bet more are using them in things like digital cameras where files are many times larger...

    Retail Interface Board Discussion!

    I think you would be better of designing a new board from scratch. The current one isn't that suitable for a case. Jtag and serial connectors most people won't use take up too much space. Plus you could position the connectors in more suitable positions. The current board would end up...

    More Binary Blobs Ahoy

    DRM as microsoft and apple see it is not very nice. I don't really want to pay for a device to support such codecs if I can avoid it. Sure sell it separate for people that want it but it doesn't belong as part of a supposed open source device IMO.

    Getting Started With Asm?

    Perhaps I'm missing something but wouldn't this be the answer. Currently every pixel in the screen buffer gets converted to then written to the frame buffer. Are you not just performing the same conversion calculations over and over again? Why not work in the same depth as the frame buffer? I...

    Is Gp2x.co.uk A Dodgey Online Store?

    I received something faulty and it was quickly and with no problems. However I was very close to never dealing with them again simply because I decided to use a photo to illustrate the problem. I later read in this forum emails with attachments get trashed. Luckily I hosted the photo on my...

    GP2X Detecting Vbr In An Mp3

    You have to walk all frames and check their bitrates and use that to calculate an average. hydrogen audio forums have a lot of info on this sort of topic. http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/

    GP2X Reading Gp2x Serial Number

    If they have removed /dev/i2c-0 then perhaps they have removed the i2c driver code from the kernel and stuck it into the menu program. If so looking at the file handles won't help much. It presumably would just open /dev/mem then mmap the i2c registers and start talking to the hardware.

    Power Supplies For The 2x That Are Actually Useable

    I have the argos one and the plug is not the perfect size. It works most of the time but at some angles the power cuts out. It would be nicer if they had used a bigger sized socket as they tend to be more tolerent of connector size.

    Odonata = Not So Great. So What Gp2x Only Games Are You Playing?

    The various gp2x hardware isses are not a problem. The problem is that for indi developers selling online all their customer base has a pc with a nice big screen and lots of power. Many will also have a console attached to a tv with nice comfortable controlers. All the gp2x can really offer is...

    Donations

    So? I fail to see what on earth the problem is. The people that enjoyed it enough that they thought it was worth a donation gave a donation. The fact that you even got a single donation is very impressive. Try releasing similar quality software for PC and see how many donations you get. I know...

    Tv-out Hd (looks Like Crap)

    Crt tvs are quite blurry and can cover up a lot. I have several dvds that are fine when viewed on a tv but look horrible on a computer with tft due to all the compression artifacts. Perhaps the problems are just not visible on the crt.

    D-pad Stick Replacement Project

    AFAIK there is no kernel module or code in the kernel that handles button input. The only way to get the status of the buttons is from GPIO. Proably something that really should be abstracted by the kernel but it isn't. I'm no expert but the only way I can see it working is if the kernel...

    Guy Who Wants To Sue Gamepark, Gph, Me & Ed

    It's looks very dubious at anyrate. It certainly fails to be non-obvous. Laptops have been doing exactly that for a while and pda, mp3 players, mobile phones and who knows how many other embeded systems scale the cpu according to some metric of system load. Using cpu load as the metric when...

    Bob Wiki Page Missing

    I have a first edition and a bob. Gp2x won't power up if the bob is connected but unpowered, it just shows the white lines you get with flat batteries. Just powering the bob the gp2x does nothing. You can get around this buy sticking a plug into the socket on the bob. The gp2x will then boot...

    Power Supply

    If you get ones in the argos style be carefull. It's very easy to fit the tip the wrong way and get the wrong polarity. The voltage selector switches are also a potential problem as they can easily end up set to the wrong voltage. I'd think in a teaching environment you will end up with fried...
