For Those Who Have Tried To Upgrade To V1.01

[DynaMight]

If you have tried to upgrade to v1.01 but couldnt flash the img part due to SD problems and did upgrade the .gpu part then found that the videos didnt work then this may help you out.

I have hacked together this, It basically copies back over the original v1.0 Video/Music players and Ebook viewer

Use at your own risk etc

P.S. I have used it on my GP2X and it worked fine, videos are now working.

i've tried to do the same thing on my gp2x, but couldn't get it working .. so i'll try this one now and see how it goes. hopefully it'll give me working video again ..

but the other thing i think we need is a collection of known, good, working files, in whatever formats the gp2x currently *can* play .. so if its at all possible that folks have working video's that they -know- work on their gp2x, can we get a list? version info too?

stay tuned .. trying Downgrade.rar now ..

 

[torpor]

nope, doesn't work for me .. same old story: every file i try "unsupported file format" is the msg ..

u should upgrade to 1.01 torpor, once u get teh message of upgrade firmware at start u can patch, then all should work fine, get a sd of 256 or less

I can confirm this works, I can play vids again

I know this would have helped me, if my unit was not bricked.....

Worked for me too, thanks DynaMight.

guys, if you get an .avi file to play, can you post a URL to it, or upload it or whatever, as a 'known good working video file' for those of us with non-working video to use to debug things .. ?

I can verify that the downgrade will reenable video playing after a failed upgrade. Mine finally works!

Someone mod this thread up or post the downgrade file to the files page

thanks a lot.

sure, here is a video i encoded for my gp32, but it also plays fine on my gp32x.

note: this was a high school project YEARS ago, and was originally encoded even smaller than the screen size of the gp32 ... so the video is slightly smaller than screen size ... not a problem with the playback!!!

good luck!!!

 

[DynaMight]

I'm glad it works for other people too. I was a tad annoyed when the video playback stopped and I bet other peeps were too.

Heres a solution.

Dont use the 1.01 patch, hahah

 

[chris_r]

[numb]
