Gp2x... What Does It Do?

[rokdcasbah]

As others have said, card reader is pretty much necessary, rechargeable batteries are absolutely necessary.

I have not had any problems with Cave Story on my F200.

Anyone know if 'Snatcher is playable on Picodrive?

Snatcher works very well on Picodrive. I've played almost all the way through.

I got Picodrive am playing Story of Thor ATM but would love to play Snatcher again, any know problems with the lunar games? Is there a compat list anywhere??

Cave story is nice kinda reminds me of the Treasure game Bangi-o! (A good thing)

I'm also playing Doom which is bringing back a ton of memorys! Anyone know if the TC of Doom64 works well? I searched the board ad there was a GP specific version but it's only got 24 levels... the windows version seems to have 37 or so... anyone know why?

In closing... this seems the be the best £25 I've ever spent.

I'm going to go on a limb here and say that just about everything you can throw at Picodrive will work. It's highly compatible and best of all still being updated.

I've got a few of the GP Usb leads as they're standard cable (My mobile uses on) But windows won't recognise it I imagine it's a case of drivers being missing but I didn't get the GP2X CD-rom so am a bit stuck...

Thanks for the info though, I'll check out poundland tomorrow

The only way I ever got the connection to work worth a damn is when I replaced GPH's cable with a much shorter 6" cable I got with an MP3 player. Another, longer, cable did nothing to help the problem, either.

Even then, it is a very unreliable way to transfer files and everyone saying to get a card reader is giving good advice. You can get one from dealextreme.com pretty cheap.

So when did £24.99 equal $24.99?

Where abouts in this thread did anyone mention $24.99, I`ve had a really good look, And i honestly can not see it. The only mention of anything other than £24.99, Was made by Chip, He said 24.99, Which could actually be 24.99 of any currency.

Basically Krooner, The original poster, Did get a really good deal, Whether he paid £24.99 or $24.99.

Are there any GUIs for windows that would detect the GP2x and allow me to drag and drop files onto it? I've not got a card reader so am having to use my digital camera... bit of a pain.

You need one of these:

There are no shipping charges, it is really a $3 SD (SDHC) reader that works very very fast (much better than running down the batteries on your GP, and fidgeting with a silly cable.)

Enjoy, I played Cavestory, the controls gave me a little difficulty, but the game was very enjoyable.
