Firmware Or Version?!

[Targus]

I am really confused some poeple say the scan lines on the gp2x are from the firm ware others say its because its first verion of gp2x basicly i would like to know if it will ever be fixable for the gp2x i got now... not the one coming out is it firm ware problem... idk i feel like i am getting mixed responses when some one says something about it... really thought does any one know for sure?

Do you have one? If so, fire up DrMDx, without running the LCD tweak ... notice the crisp, flicker-free screen?

I'm no coder or HW guru, but after seeing the results, I'm convinced it's a Software/firmware issue ... not hardware.

The LCD/CPU tweeker can make them go away, pretty much completely if you mess around a bit.

I think some people are confusing interlace and scan lines.

Scanlines is a software problem. It will go away with firmware updates eventaully, but for now you can use certain apps.

My first edition GP2X (one of the original 500 shipped in Korea) did not have scanlines at first. They were something that were adder in with firmware 1.1 or 1.01 I believe. DrMDx does show the scanlines (very noticeably on the rom select screen). Hopefully at some point we will see a return to the crisp, clear, scanline free screen of the version 1.00 firmware.

Well according to this picture:

A scanline free GP2X is possible. I wouldnt worry about it, it should be fixed.

What are the best flicker free settings on the LCD tweaker?

 

[Vimacs]

use that "new" spainish tweak thingee, it makes them go away completely.
http://www.gp32spain.com/foros/downloads.php?do=file&id=268

just grab the lcd_tweak.gpu and the autolcd.gpi,
rename the .gpi to .gpu or .gpe and change the 133 in it to 200(mhz),
when you now run the autolcd.gpu/e the scanlines should be gone.

Looks interesting, but I can't access it, I need a username and password, and I'm not going through a Spanish registration.

I don't think I'll be trying that. The babelfish translation makes it sound like its just a script to alter the boot files and load lcd tweaker on launch.

mmm this flicking is pants, the display on my gp32 better why is the display interlaced?

ive actually now got a headache from it, its more noticeable one the part of the eye that isnt focused in a certain area ie if im looking at the top middle everything other than the top middle is flickering, didnt get theat with my gp32 or zodiac
