Gp2x Stereo Fix Auto Starter

[Vimacs]

!WARNING MAY BRICK YOUR GP2X gp2X!
This little script replaces the gp2xmenu with a shellscript that launches nk's stereo fix before starting the menu.
It have been tested by an anonymous coward and seems to work for him.

It haves now also eb testet by rob and definitely works, yay.

Dont call me responsible if you brick your gp2x with this, ITS ALL YOUR FAULT!

Extract the archive to the root of your sd card and run install.gpu
!last time, this could brick your gp2x!

It would definality be good if some guys who can restore thair firmware try it first.


dangure, it seems to ahve bricked at least one gp, dont use it yet till i know whats going on.
ok the problem was the sd driver not syncing.
Thats a very evil error at the gp2x as it can produce all kinds of unforseen errors, i did now put a mount /mnt/sd -o remount,sync in wish should fix that issue.

here is the new version:
DONT RUN IT MORE THAN 1 TIME OR YOU BRICK YOUR GP2X!

[Eolair]

Oh, is that a shiny big red button I see there...I wonder what happens if I press it :rolleyes:

 

[Scratch]

LOL, indeed, I'll just load it myself (when i have my gp2x and if there is no firmware release by then ,mid-december, which covers this bug )

Anyway nice way to warn ppl

 

[Digitalrat]

did anyone test it yet? ^^

you should make a deinstall-script in case that a firmware-update comes out

Can you fix it if your GP2X got messed up?

 

[Skitzo]

I think you need a serial cable at the moment. The only people who have serial cables seem to be those with devkits, craigix and GPH.

hehe never heard of the term "bricking" your portable device till the sony PSP firmware thing.

never had this problem when I was with a GB. ..

 

[Vimacs]

Oh, iam sorry for you if you realy bricked your gp2x :-(
Uninstall script is simple

#/bin/sh
rm /usr/gp2x/gp2xspkset.gpu
cp -f /usr/gp2x/gp2xmenu_original /usr/gp2x/gp2xmenu
cd  /usr/gp2x
./gp2xmenu

Fixing your bricked gp2x is as simple as useing a serial cable and rename gp2xmenu_original to gp2xmenu again.

I tried the script and it works, as in it installs the script that auto-loads the speaker stereo fix, and my unit still boots just fine.

I don't know if the stereo speaker fix itself works, I'll leave that test to someone else

Does anyone know if this patch has any affect on playing movies?

 

[Vimacs]

yay to that
oh and dont try to be wise and add a ! to the script, couse it will fuck things up!

Does anyone know if this patch has any affect on playing movies?

yes, it seems to for me.

 

[g4m3r]

No I didn't brick my 2X
I don't even have one
I want just wondering, incase if someone did.

 

[greenmikey]

classicgamingmaster said it bricked, then said it didnt...to brick or not to brick, that is the question.
