I got my gp2x! WOO HOO!
I booted it up.. firstly there was this white screen, colour bars.. then nothing..
Second time colour bars (i get colour bars almost all the time now, with a white background) then the gp2x black screen kicks in.. it loads up then im on the explorer!
The screen is a little hazy at times, small wavy lines (not of colour, but more like interference like a bad signal on the tv, the old analog tv that is)
After installing drmd, the menu for drmd was flickering all over the place, less at the top, more at the bottom!
Also, the pixels were not as sharp as the gp32 because of this HAZE type thing.
SO, i proceeded with the firmware update, the firmware updater.. i was too scared to try another way.
I did the test, it was great, worked fine. Then did the proper thing, i now have a new boot screen! And also it boots slightly faster, and the red attery light is off during the rest of my gp2x experience! yay!
And now also the menu in drmd is fine
With the firmware updater, i followed the instructions carefully, 1) did the test 2) did the proper version with the kernel of firmware updater. 3) ... it says to use patch00123 or whatever .gpu ... i put that on there after downloading it from gp2x.com but when i boot it and go to game, explorer i see nothing except drmd a couple of folders. but then i realised now that maybe i should boot it from apps and not GAME.. oh well..
I then proceeded to use the lcd tweaker. Coz the hazy screen in still there (GEE THANKS gamepark holdings!!) . it works a treat, i set it to FPLL, 266mhz cpu and -4 lcd tweak. i press select to save and now the screen is sharp like gp32's and drmd is SMOOOOOOOTH! its so wonderful!
I use uniross 2500mah chargables, been at it for 4 hours and the battery meter is on medium, its really cool! Was playing drmd for 2 hours last nite on full 266mhz! battery still going
Well, i do have this problem though, im so happy with the gp2x (although it recognised im my pc, i cannot SEE it as a drive, even though windows said its installed and working properly... damn you BILL!)
Well, ok the tweaker...
I do the same settings as before, press select (i wish you could save this instead of having to tweak it everytime u turn it on!) I run drmd..
Now, this is the strange part, every game i load up, i have to map the controls TWICE! No matter how many times i save settings and even save settings for each game, whenever i go to select rom, select the rom and play either right dont work, up dont work. left and right is switched... its all strange!
I go to configure controls and then remap the contros, i go back to the game, it works for a second and stops again, like not going left or up etc) so i go back to configure and do it again. then when i return to the game i get no control problems!
Its strange, anyone else had this problem?
If i dont do the lcd tweak etc drmd works fine. STRANGE!
Also, is there any way to make the tweaks you make PERMANENT?
Thanks
