Gp2x Non Official Accessories

[project86]

I have my GP2X on teh way, should arrive this week. At some point I'm going to want to pick up an AC adaptor and a case. I would rather just go out to radio shack or some other local store. Any suggestions as to which AC adaptor will work, and what case is a decent fit?

Thanks!

DC adaptor!

Any adapter that provides 3 Volts, up to 1 Amp of current, and a negative center pole will work.

I've heard that cases made for Nintendo DS's work well for the GP2X.

I use a Nintendo official GBA case (the old style) ... I'll post a pic in a sec ...

^ Ta da! Holds extra batteries, SD Cards, a card reader and keeps by baby nice 'n snug

Anyone in the US not have trouble finding one of these? The closest I could find is an overpriced Radio Shack multi-voltage adapter. They wanted $40 for the thing!

I got mine at Radioshack for $27.99 3-12v DC regulated 2amp output. Works just fine. It's for digital cameras.

For the price you guys are paying for adapters, isnt it worth just buying the offical one?

Well, just get one from walmart then. I got a 1.3 amp adapter for $12 or something cheaper. Check it out. Take jobs away from other americans!

I got the radio shack 800 mA one, works fine for me, it was less than $20. Of course I could have gone to Fry's and got a 1 amp one for $10 less but I didn't find out until later.

Given some of the design decisions so far, I don't think I want to trust anything with being plugged into 120V mains! :lol:
