About The Usb Cable

[Cellsplitter]

Everyone with a GP2x knows that transfering files with the USB cable takes ages compared to (for example) a memory card reader that u plug into you USB 2.0 port.
QUESTION! Is it the cable's fault the write is so incredebly low? Or is the GP2x itself to blame? Both? Can't be the memory card since I pluged it into a card reader long time ago.
Well? I saw a USB cable in a electronic store the other day for Digital cameras, it was a USB 2.0 cable and was a bit more pricy then the other cables because it was a fast cable. so! Will my GP2x guaranteed write fast if I buy that cable? Post your wild assumptions or (please) hardcore facts

Wild(eyed) assumption, It's the GP2X.

I tried my USB 2.0 cable going to the Card writer I use, still slow.

I suggest that a good reader will come with it's own USB cord for half the cost of a USB 2.0 cable in a store

cables dont matter. its just bits of wire. the same as every other wire - some are made to have better conductivityh then others, but that wont matter on the gp2x(unless its really shoddy). your better off with a card reader, since it is the gp2x.

Very true, though I've managed (somehow ) to "brick" my SD card and can now only write through the GP2x itself I got Aggravated by the incredible low writing speed :\

I think it is a problem with the firmware that it onlys wants to read/write at 1.1 speed.

I speak for everyone when I say "Fix this GamePark, We want to be able to read/write faster"

Can you re-format your SD through your GP2X? That might work. Or does the GP2X have the command for formatting volumes on it?

 

[Cellsplitter]

Well yes, yes I can format my SD card through the GP2x... I'm doing as we speak it's kinda slow.

 

[Cellsplitter]

Well that didn't work -.- will can't do anything with it but read from my card reader

I formated a 2 gig SD card through the USB cable, but it took like an hour.
