Firmware 1.2.0


Darn, I was really liking the idea of an improved picture viewer as I have a bunch of e-manga that would rock with zoom and rotate and such, but hell if I'm going to chance not being able to read my card. Though I guess if you can still go back to 1.1.0 then it couldn't be all bad. Still, not chancing it.

Thanks squidge. I'ma gonna try with the last update and hope for the best.

UPDATE: Tried with the 1.1.0 update. Sucessfully downgraded applied 1.1.0 patch. Everythings fine.

I'm very happy that the updater wasn't effected by the new SD code.
 
My SD cards don't work now, so I'll flash back to v1.1.0. My advice is to try it, and if it doesn't work with your SD, flash it back, as U-Boot will still recognise it, and as far as I see there's nothing to lose.
 
Fixed, what you need to do is make sure you have the default skin installed and patch it again and it works ,and you will need a spare card to do it few :)

What the fuck is wrong with GPH? Are they all retarded or something :rolleyes: It takes them forever to release a new FW and when they do it is FUBAR ;) At this rate the "bug free" GP2X will be out in November 2007.

people (and by people I mean a single person) kept trying to get me to update without even reading a thread. Those people (and by people I mean PSYMASTR) ARE DUMBASSES :p


Im glad i didnt upgrade yet. Not that it would be too difficult to downgrade, but im happy with the recent 1.1.0 release, so thats where ill stay until a decent upgrade comes along. Shouldn\'t be long
 
Just in case anyone cares. I updated anyway. Decided, "What the hell." It went without a hitch from my SanDisk 512mb. Ran the patch no prob. It, of course, didn't recognize my cards now, so I rolled back to 1.1.0 and it worked fine. The upside to this is that the patch still works! You can still have the cool picture viewer -- which works great with manga I might add -- and not have to update your actual firmware. Cool enough for me.

P.s.: I don't know if you can just do the patch upgrade without putting the .img file on your card, but I can't see why not. Still, just because it worked for me... Well, you get the picture.
 
It's me or the red light is on when battery are exhausted ?
I m testing and depleting my AAs to confirm...
 
HOW TO FIX

You will need a spare SD or MMC card, then you need to install the default skin, and then put the gp2xpatch-1.2.0.tar file and the patch20060105.gpu file on the card and repatch wait till its done and bang problem sovled

ruffnutts out :)
 
Considering that my SD-card doesn't even work with the previous 1.1.0 firmware, I'm not even going to try this new firmware. I suggest GPH concentrate on fixing bugs instead of introducing new ones.
 
Doesnt read my Viking 1GB card when updated (which doesnt flash) but reads my 256MB Tomtom Go card (which does flash)

Flashed back to 1.1.0 no problems though, got bored and updated the software side of the upgrade.

Even with 1.1.0 firmware you get the updated picture viewer, allowed up and down in the main menu etc BUT videos no longer play, corrupted screen.
 
If you go back a page ive put on there how to fix it, people need to realise before
upgrading you need to have the default skin installed first, theres nothing wrong with the upgrade :rolleyes:
