Firmware 1.2.1 T-v Out

[Ando]

I used this to updtae my firmware http://www.gp2x.de/cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi?0,0,0,0,42,1144

and i would really like to use the tv out functrion for emus and other things. but i am not sure exactly how to :huh: i have it working fine for movies and other video out. is there something else i have to do to use tv-out? i am using it from the utilities menu. if someone could help me out i would greatly appreciate it

thanks in advance

You just run the emus when you have the tvout working. Some of them may not work; drmdx is one that doesn't work. I know NK's NES emulator works, and I believe, his others will too, but I haven't tested them.

Same for ScummVM , I would love to see if that works. On paper it should but I have no lead to test.

dang i feel really stupid now, could someone tell me exactly how the hell to get the t-v out to work i can still only get movies to play and i have 1.2.1

with the new firmware do i still start the mplayer from the utilities or what is there another file that i need to grab from somewhere?

im really sorry but i looked on there website and couldnt find anything but the first file for tv out that is used for movies

Yup! It works, but the display is stretched on the left half of the screen and the right half has nothing (I've pm'ed you in case you don't see this post):

That link refers to the utility you had to run to play movies on the tv for firmware v1.10.

For firmware v1.21, you just need to (from the main menu of your gp2x):
- Go to 'Settings' -> 'TV-OUT'
- Then depending on your tv/country, click on either 'NTSC' or 'PAL'
- the gp2x screen will now turn off and everything will be output on the TV instead.

Hope that helps
