I can see my (FAT formatted) SD card OK in a card reader, but not when I connect the GP2X to a PC over USB.
I've tried 2 PCs, both USB and USB2 slots. The USB itself is recognised by the plug&pray but no filesystem icon appears.
Could that be because it is FAT, not FAT32? (I only have one card at the moment, shared with a Treo650 and a camera, so I'm reluctant to reformat it as FAT32 - I'll wait until I can pick up another one...)
Are the warnings I've read about not using FAT in case you trash your machine to be taken seriously? How much of a risk is it really?
I can make do with the card-reader route, but I wanted to get the USB FS working because I had an idea for a hack that would let me set up a remote session from a PC with a keyboard (STerm is cute, but not a serious option) by using shared files to communicate over!
Hopefully by this weekend I'll be producing some code for this platform. The machine only turned up yesterday so I may be a little late for the coding competition this weekend, but we'll see... I think I did an SDL version of Tailgunner once, that should be an easy and quick port to get my sea legs.
First impressions are that it is a very nice machine. I just hope that not all GP32 developers jump ship for the GP2X and leave us all with orphaned GP32s
