300ma Ac Adaptor

[Gruntfuggly]

Will the GP2X run off a 300ma adaptor? Everything I've read suggests it won't (or shouldn't), but I would like somebody to definitely tell me they've tried it and it didn't work. I've got a brand new unopened 300ma adaptor, but I don't want to open it if it isn't going to work. :unsure:

500ma is the minimum, I wouldn't open it if I were you.

Normal running power is between 450ma to 550mA, going upto 750mA with movie player (higher if overclocking).

So I'd say a definite 'no'.

Great - thanks a lot guys. This one goes back on eBay then!

300mA doesn't power my gp2x, but it's enough to power the BoB with a usb mouse and keyboard attached.

I don't think I'd feel safe using anything under 1A.

The official one is indeed @2A....
