2 Small Queries

[russgalleywood]

Hi all, got my GP2X a few days ago and love it!!!

Have SNES PuzzleBobble (sorry! Bust-A-Move!) running at good speed and very smoothly, Frodo is excellent, can finally play Paradroid on a handheld!

Have only too small issues which probably aren't issues at all.

The volume control seems to have little effect.. I either get full volume or silence regardless of how I adjust the control. I upgraded immediately to firmware 1.10 and ran the software update too but this had no effect.

And secondly, the video corruption that sometimes occurs when you turn on is just down to the crappy cheap batteries I have been using when they are dying right?

As I say, minor issues and otherwise I am very impressed with the GP2X.

Thanks

I don't know about the volume, but I get the coloured lines whenever I turn on my GP2x on, irrespective of which batteries I use including freshly charged 2600 ones.

mine corrupts and/or freezes when batteries are depleted. vol control depends on program you run also. the gb emu I have is all or nothing for volume. you should upgrade to 1.2.0...excellent tvout (except drmd!) although some people would disagree as it has been known to not read some people's sd cards afterwards (I think it depends on card)

i usually get the video corruption you talk about when i turn on after it hangs while booting, or after a crash, but then it goes away and i get the black GP2X screen. Otherwise I get a white screen for a couple seconds before the black one (and then the green one). hope that made sense

Thanks for your help,

yes, as to the sound, it was Frodo. If I try Vice, the volume works perfectly.

Just wanted to be sure about the video corruption and you have put my mind at rest.

I am going to upgrade to 1.2 but will wait a little longer due to the SD cards troubles.

Thanks again.
