The cool thing with the F200 (and I believe the MKII's also) is that it can power the cradle independently of any power source! It might drain your batts a little faster but its great for multiplayer or impulse TV-Outing on the go! Plus u only need to bring the AC adapter for your system rather than lug around another one just for the cradle.xcen said:EDIT:

That's good news, I got the cheapest power adaptor from Argos, around £7, which was recommended on another thread to power it. Will this power the system AND the cradle then? Still waiting for my official one from PlaybloodyAsia!

I am using my MK2's AC on the F200, I haven't tried connecting ext HDD though...
As for the Cradle, the cradle itself specifies 5v 2a...but the power supply they sell for it is 5v 3a...
ao I thought it was safe to plug my dlink usb 2 hub's AC adaptor at 5v 2.5a (same polarity, same plug) and it seems to work fine, although the cradle does not power my F200... but I don't think it's supposed to?

Huh? The cradle doesn't power the GP2X? Isn't that a bit pointless?
I was kinda hoping when my cradle arrives I could hook it up using the adapter and start overclocking the F200 without worrying about bloody batteries...
EDIT: Read some other topics and I now know that the cradle is powered by the F200 itself...so ignore me!

yeah but you could still bitch about the (very stupid) fact that the USB "out" port is innaccessible when the '2x is in it's cradle =P (if you really wanted to!)

My cradle arrived today from GP2XStore, just given it a quick test with my newly purchased Logitech pad and it works like a dream! Really pleased with this.

My video out is missing more than a couple of lines on the right side...
+ whenever I plug USB devices I get weird hum from the '2X's speakers

Can you adjust the picture? The cradle instruction manual seems to indicate you can...xcen said:

I did not find a way to do it... but then again I didn't really try =D

I've noticed this sound too - it must be something to do with the poor shielding within the cradle, the speakers are picking up the sound of the USB port operating.xcen said:My video out is missing more than a couple of lines on the right side...

yeah, my guess was that if I used the RCA audio out cables I wouldn't have this problem... but I'm lazy =D (I was just testing out out, really... anywayz TV out isn't functional for me on the F200 at the moment, since it doesn't scale properly to my screen )

I don't think it scales 100% accurately on my TV either, but it's good enough for me
