Connecting Gp2x <> Pc

[jimb]

Does the GP2X connect to the PC via USB?
If so, is it recognised as a USB MASS Storage device?

In other words, can you access the SD Card / NAND memory via Windows exploder?

If not, how do you transfer files to the unit?
I'm guessing it'll be via the EXT connector. If so, how does this link up with the PC?

Failing that, I assume you need to have a SD Card reader/writer for the PC(?)

Yes.

true

But be carefull, the combustion might travel trough USB and fry your GP2X.

I hope it will be accessible through Linux and OSX as I don't own any windows products. Although the cheapest SD card reader that works under Linux/OSX is only $7 US, so it won't be that bad if it isn't, I just couldn't access the NAND. I'd imagine that it will be mountable in Linux as that's the dev environment for the GP2X.

Thanx,
Stan

OS X and most modern linux distros have full support for mass storage devices so as long as the cards are formated as FAT you should have no worries

Well, I'm more worried about the GP2X itself. There are lots of products that say they'll be mountable under Linux and OSX and on launch aren't. Even When I read a review that says 'Linux/OSX' compatible I don't believe it until the first few reviews confirms it. I preordered the GP2X and will be able to get a card reader if it isn't, but I still hope it will be Linux/OSX compatible.

Thanx,
Stan
