Got My Mem Card + Reader, No Gp2x

[freddykreuger666]

can i load stuff onto it?
games and stuff?
create folders on it?
also - is there anyway to "mass zip" all my genesis roms to put them all in there own seperate zip file?

 

[degziebob]

format as fat32, copy your games & stuff on ... create a structure like

games
apps
roms
video
music

download the latest emu's & copy them to the apps...

..and count the seconds until your gp2x arrives

not sure about using winzip, but if you have winrar, select all your files... right click on one and go to "add to archive..."
in the pop up, in General tab under 'archive format' click 'ZIP', then under the 'files' tab tick the box that says "put each file to seperate archive". Once you've got that running it will zip each file individually (you can also set it to delete the original after zipping if you want)

I spent some time encoding movies while I was waiting for mine. I'll have my whole dvd collection converted pretty soon.

No GP2X yet either; darn the Border Patrol.

I have my TV-Out cable, my GP2X Power-Supply, and 4x2500mah AA's with a 2500mah charger (Engergizer). No SD card 'cause I'm saving my cash for my new computer - I'll buy one afterwards. Until then I'm stuck with my daughter's camera's SD card, which will be fine for non-Neo Geo & movie needs.

They sit in an honored spot and - wait.

Exact same situation here, just got my 4GB card. I have started sorting my roms as well, I have about 40G between NES, SNES, GB, NG, GBA (<fingers crossed in hope>). If you are in windows, do as stated above. In linux you can do the following:

for i in *.rom; do zip $i $i.zip; done

which produces foo.rom.zip bar.rom.zip baz.rom.zip etc

I also have a nice shell script that takes a large directory of roms and creates 27 subdirs (A B C ... X Y Z 0) and sorts every file into the appropriate directory, then symlinks them all into another subdir named All. This accomodates emulators that only support one rom dir (visualboyadvance) and emulators that crash/freeze if there are too many roms in one dir (zsnes). I will post it when I get home.

What are the brand of the batteries? I got 2800mah off ebay and they crap. (1 hour)

The 16xenergisers 2500mah I also got cheap off ebay were fantastic.

Wow, I thought you had this already. What is the holdup? Customs I suppose. Well, patience is certainly a virtue.
