Gpx2 Just Arrived

[craigix]

That 'in the box' came from gamepark. The CD was supposed to come with backups of the various gp2x programs plus a driver. I decided you would not like a further dealy when you could download them in a few seconds.

If i'd actually sent out a CD with 2 files on it I can see the alternative complains on this thread now - not to mention running them all off would have taken another day of dealy. But yes, now instead of shipping today I have told the staff that the CD's must be done, we are doing a full 1000. I hope this solves the problem.

If you don't like the console or the fact that an 8p CD was not included send it back and i'll refund you for the unit.

Oh and if the GP2X won't show up on windows just format it on disk manager. (it should show up as a linux gadget harddrive)

just a bit gutted the USB cable wont connect to XP so i have to wait for the SD card reader. My fault for presuming the USB lead would work fine.

Regarding your USB problem... are you going into a USB port that is direct to the PC motherboard?

I would not try going through a hubbed USB port or even an add-on USB port because the thing is only a slave mode device and unpowered. I suspect it will be a bit picky about what type of USB port you can connect it to.

I can't believe some of you are being so damn arsey over a CD, auto-installing development kit? christ sake, if you cant be arsed to figure it yourself then you've no hope of gaining the skill to code anything worthwhile...

I really hope what Craig just said about spending the day burning CD's was sarcasm, cus if I've got to wait another day cus of some whiney little girls I'm gonna come kick your asses!

All the files will be on here, all the info is around, open your sodding eyes and stop crying over a missing CD and no cheapo tacky headphones!

Fair enough...we didnt know that but we do now

If i'd actually sent out a CD with 2 files on it I can see the alternative complains on this thread now - not to mention running them all off would have taken another day of dealy.

True

If you don't like the console or the fact that an 8p CD was not included send it back and i'll refund you for the unit.

Well I guess that nips the complaints in the bud

Oh and if the GP2X won't show up on windows just format it on disk manager. (it should show up as a linux gadget harddrive)

The fix is that simple? you don't need a driver?

I have a built in card reader but was curious

Thanks for the clarification Craig, good job to you and your staff for gettint this dream of a machine out

 

[mrsnature]

Thanks Craigix, received mine today and am very pleased

now if i could just work out how to turn the backlinght off.....

 

[Ninjia^]

But yes, now instead of shipping today I have told the staff that the CD's must be done, we are doing a full 1000. I hope this solves the problem.

F**king whiners!

P.S. Venkman90 & psj3809 can you PM me your addresses? I have a molotov cocktail for you both as conpensation for your precious CDs. :angry:

​

From an early post, i undertand that the firmware runs the unit at 100% of the power 100% of the time, but it's only firmware bassed and i'm sure that there will be fix very soon {ie. the backlight cant be turned off yet}

And to all the wingers that have delayed the rest of us getting our units and slowing down the whole community and the chance of getting early fixes and more important, software to run on the unit, i hope your feeling realy stupid and will think before you share your opinions next time.

Personaly i think craigix is doing a brilliant job with the demand he clearly has and the limmited resorces he has at his disposal, so from me at least, keep up the good work Craigix.

That said i still cant wait for my unit to arrive.

 

[p00pty]

Just imagine if nintendo or sony didnt send the CD or had units that didnt work 100% , and when asked about it they replyed.......

If you don't like the console or the fact that an 8p CD was not included send it back and i'll refund you for the unit.


how would you feel ???

to be told by the owner of a company that you have just paid over 100 quid to makes you wonder how seriouse craigix really is.

It seems that to many people are ass licking when they actually have a right to complain.

Craigix you run a small company, talk like that wont do you any favours.

 

[craigix]

Since this CD is almost empty, does anyone have maybe a public domain encoded movie we can include on it which plays on the gp2x?

Edit: by movie I don't mean something over an hour

 

[alibee]

Feeling guilty about asking about the CD? Umm... No.

Thinking that many of the 30,000 GP32 were sold to asylums and loony bins? Yes.

Laughing at the comments of a couple of juvenile twats? Oh, Yes. :lol:

 

[Epsilon]

Whaaat?! now i won't have mine until next week, gargh
*knocks himself out trying to sleep through monday*

Christ, people arent 'arsey' but they were just bit surprised if they didnt get what they thought they were going to thats all. Whats wrong with that ? Theyre not boycotting and totally slating anyone, just surprised thats all.

Also next time i buy some petrol i'll give them 8p less, i'm sure they wont mind about that. If the petrol station moans about it i'll say theyre just being a tightwad and moaning about nothing ! I agree about the headphones, i think they probably would be the dirt cheap tacky ones anyway.

I do think people have a right to mention any small niggles though.

C'mon guys,

What have you all been doing while you've been waiting for your orders! You all ordered first, surely you've been reading the boards, you could have downloaded all the available files for the GP2X in that time.

I have and they only come <6MB in total!

GGGGRRRRR I was so calm about this release now you have made me mad as HELL!!!

:angry:

No anger in this post is directed at Craigix, I think he got it right when he called you a bunch of Spacs the other day.

 

[Venkman90]

I'm gonna come kick your asses!

ass?...you dont speak like your from this neck of the woods

I didnt "whine" but if you feel the need to kick my arse let me know, im not far away

h34r:

F*cking whiners! I wish craigix had installed a self destruct chip in all your units...

Thanks a F*cking lot

Once again, the message is "don't raise any issues AT ALL"

not good from forum regulars

And to all the wingers that have delayed the rest of us getting our units and slowing down the whole community and the chance of getting early fixes and more important, software to run on the unit, i hope your feeling realy stupid and will think before you share your opinions next time

See above...people who ordered the unit have every god given right to ask why there was no CD...even if the CD had fucking pac-man on it it was in the product description

Im taking issue with this and I havnt even had chance to open my box yet!

I dont want to see this froum degrade to some clique of "dont you dare complain" arseholes

I didn't say he should add an almost empty and totally useless CD. I just said he should update his website, so that people would know what they are paying for, AND so that threads like this would not happen. I repeat, I'm totally cool about downloading the SDK from somewhere (actually I'm building it from the source...)

 

[not_simple_si]

I agree. I ordered mine way back in the day... 16th of September. I expect it to come as described with new box, etc. That's what I had bought into. It's a disgrace otherwise. It's a f#@king business! If you bought something else (such as a tv) and didn't get remote, or a power cable would you not be annoyed? Or if you bought a sony playstation and it came in a gamecube box, would you not be slightly disgrunted?

Besides, just found out mine got delivered to the wrong address!

unhappy chappy

 

[psj3809]

P.S. Venkman90 & psj3809 can you PM me your addresses? I have a molotov cocktail for you both as conpensation for your precious CDs.  :angry:

​

Ninja stop being stupid, come on

I'm not fussed about no headphones or cd, i just wanted to know what had happened to them that was all

Craig explained about them and now i think everyone is satisfied. What gets me is that its like you daren't complain here about anything or even raise something small. Craig does a great job with a small business, most of us here were only asking questions that was all. Once i had the answer about the CD i totally understand now. Also replies about why the USB cable doesnt work etc.

As for your OTT post, things about a molotov cocktail just arent funny in todays world. I live very close by to you, i would be happy to talk about this in person. If i went to the police and mentioned that someone has threatened to firebomb my house i'm sure they would have a look at that. No wonder the world is messed up if people get this angry over something so small !

A lot of people are overreacting here and are acting like kids themselves. Many people i know have the perception that the GP32 community have a lot of idiot kids acting like Rambo and this thread again has seemed to have shown that. Very disappointing.

I've been involved in the GP32 for the last year, helped out quite a few newbies, got a few more sales of GP32's by writing favourable reports on many websites and convincing friends to get one. I've uploaded tons of MAME roms for people to use with the GP32 Mame emulator and helped out a few newbies. If anyone moaned that a download wasnt working or about something else i didnt go OTT and mention a molotov cocktail to them. Christ whats the matter with some people. Having a wife as a solictor is very useful when i get threats such as some kid sending me a molotov cocktail once he gets my address. If i was really pissed off i could easily go to the police with a threat such as that.

Forget any grips about the GP2X , i'm shocked at some idiots replies such as 'Ninja'.

Man I seriously hope your joking. I was so hoping to get mine before the 23rd (going to see family for thanksgiving) but if it can't be help. I've always had a soft spot for night of the living dead and its public domain.

 

[Jarska333]

Thanks Craigix, received mine today and am very pleased

now if i could just work out how to turn the backlinght off.....

​

Take out the batteries.

 

[ratx]

I just don't understand why gbax don't update the website and say "Oppps! no CD - sorry" or such like - much like the shipment date, if they'd just kept the website updated with some sort of accurate ETA I'm sure these forums wouldn't be so rabid. I personally don't care about the CD.... also

Anyone want to buy an EXCLUSIVE lovely blue Astonisha Story case and gp32 headphones ( all collectors items ) ?
