What adaptor did you use? The cradle requires 5V Center positive. If you used a center negative, the power light should not have come on, and 5V is not going to kill your usb peripherals (they might get a little upset, but fine otherwise).

Your not understanding my question. WHAT adaptor did you use the first time you connected it to the gp2x cradle. Volts and amperage please.

I very much doubt the seller is going to replace an item that was blown up by using the wrong power adaptor

Plugging in a power supply with wrong polarity, voltage and amperage probably has done some damage to the cradle hence the smoke and crackling sound. These types of phenomenon are usually very wrong when it comes to electronic equipment.
I would say it was rather unwise to then proceed with plugging in a keyboard and a mouse just because for some reason the red light of the cradle was still on. You obviously succeeded in damaging both the mouse and the keyboard as they are also not working on your computer. The sheer nerve you portrayed by then proceeding to insert the gp2x onto the cradle is something I have yet to fathom.

I guess you are extremely lucky if the gp2x is still working.
The thing is a lot of electronic equipment out there has fail safe guards in place so that it prevents circuit failure when you insert a wrong power supply - up to certain limits. The gp2x has none of these things so you need to be extremely cautious when using a power supply on this device.

I did know not anything about power supply for the gp2x cradle before i buy it, i thought it same as other system otherwise i ain't fry all my stuff because it never happened to me before. So what do i do now i already lost mouse ,keyboard and the cradle costs over 100 dollars.Can someone fix it?
