Firmware Updated ..movie Player Screwed


Could someone who hasnt updated using the gpu script yet upload their old version of mplayer for us who accidentally ran the gpu script?

You can use this script to copy mplayer to the sd.
Code: 
#!/bin/sh
cp -f /usr/gp2x/mplayer /mnt/sd

cd /usr/gp2x
./gp2xmenu

If you save that as a gpu script and then run it it will copy mplayer to the sd card and can then upload it somewhere.

Thanks if anyone does this
 
Been trying to update using a Toshiba miniSD 64MB + SD Adapter.

Upgrade Firmware automatically launched: OK
Upgrading 1st splash (black with white bar screen): OK
2nd splash with 1.0.1 written (green screen): OK

After booting up 1st shot
In utility selected patch20051128: OK
came back to desktop (?) -> Setting -> Ver: 1.0.1 is shown.

Under this circumstance, I still cannot get the video to work.
Currently what I'm having is, after selecting a video from SD card.
The white bar saying something on launchin/reading shows up, and it stays there with the screen bluring.

Is this what everyone else is getting?

Currently tried several SD cards, but still can't get the video to work.

On the GP2X side,
Power Led is off, so, from the firmware update aspect, it sure seems as it has been updated. While the video problem is still there.

Probably heading out to grab another SD...
 
From the delivered date, which was last Saturday, yes the video was working.

*** Before ***
DivX file about 20MB used on a Lexar 512MB SD, that was working.

*** Now ***
Same DivX file 20MB on Toshiba miniSD with SD Adapter
1st try, screen blurring. GP2X hangs
2nd try, opens the first few frams, screen blinks with verticle bars, GP2X hangs
3rd try, GP2X halts during the green screen after booted.
4th try, Blurs on Loading Please Waiting screen, GP2X hangs

Same DivX file 20MB on Lexar 512MB SD, which was working
1st try, screen blurring on Loading Please Waiting screen.
2nd try, same as 1st try.

BTW, have changed the battery to a brand new one right after the Update.

So, am having some problems, is this a SD matter on the firmware update,
or Video Playback matter with the SD storage.....

*** Edit (addition) ***
Bought 64MB SD card x5.
Did the whole sequence several times, and got one SD to work perfectly.
(as far as I see), now, video is playing back again...... what to do with 4 nonworkings.....
 
Hmm, reading this, think I'll persevere with having a red light on all the time. I can't install the libs needed for NeoCD and SNES with the one I have now (1.0), but I can still play Quake and Frodo, and watch videos...

Roll on January!
 
EDIT: Someone please make a sticky with just the guild, thanks.
OFFICAL GUILD TO UPDATING YOUR GP2X

This firmware upgrade includes past two firmware upgrades. If you have not upgraded past two version, ignore them and execute this one.
If you unzip, 7 files will show.
Copy on the root directory of SD card.
If you insert SD card and turn on GP2X, firmware shall be updated.
If you click UTILITY and execute patch_20051128, application shall be patched.

1. Unzip all the compressed files and put in root directory of SD card.
2. Insert SD card into GP2X and turn off and then turn on.
3. The image 'Fimrware Upgrading' shows and then rebooting starts.
Make sure the prior image of 'loading' is changed into 'Firmware Version 1.0.1'
4. After booting, execute Utility in MENU. And then go to root directory of SD card, execute patch20051128.gpu.
5. For a few seconds, the screen turns black and then turn into normal screen.
6. Execute Info in Setting MENU, and then make sure of version 1.0.1.

has this worked for anyone (official guide?)

Im loving the movieplayer and dont want to brick my GP2X
 
Can anyone who hasnt yet upgraded, copy their mplayer binary using the script i posted above so that people who upgraded with the gpu but not the kernel can restore the older version of mplayer?
 
i will upload it somewhere as soon as i get the .gpu and stuff on my 2x...in exchange can you give me a guide of how to upgrade a version 1.0 (without ANY of the upgrades, bought from GP32Z) GP2X to version 1.01...because im not sure but im seeing stuff that makes me think i need to put the older 2 upgrades on first, before i put this one on.

Thanks in advance

Click to expand...
I'm doing it right now, but I just get a blank screen. How long do you think it should take? :)

Also didn't someone say that it should be /dev/mmsd or something instead, in another thread?

edit: Wait what the hell am I thinking with? :p Anyway, the screen just went blank, and nothing was copied. Strange as hell.

same thing happened here, black screen of death...

EDIT:just remembered something i saw yesterday(cant find again) about how using wordpad on windows can screw up the script when i save it. What program should i use?
 
why are GPH using this stupid system anyway? Whats wrong with just creating a GPE file to do all the patching.
