Gpx2 Port

[GP40]

Top right: is that a port like on the gp32 or is it the SD slot? (I've never used SD before)

Looks like its on the bottom, so its a port?

That would be nifty, I wanted a port on it

its the ext port, but this isnt the final model, in the final model its at another location.

So long as it's somewhere on there, it'll make me happy

It's on there, but we don't know whats exposed on it, so don't go plugging your chatboards into it just yet

 

[Vimacs]

hopefully they didnt use the same plug with different pinout...

 

[greven]

i though they told us there was no usb host ?

 

[Squidge]

There's USB host exactly the same as the GP32, ie. it's not powered.

MAN I WANT WIFI SO MUCH ON THIS THING!

 

[greven]

I have a arcgos 20GB, since it is recognise as an externel HDD by windows, will i be able to plug it to the GP2X to access it ?

 

[Vimacs]

not by default, maybe later.

​

Same hear, for surfing the web, email, chating, and multi-player games. I would much rather have that then the extra 32mb of ram.

It is a possiblity IF your hardrive is not powered over usb, so if you have a giant brick then maybe. Someone would have to write a program to do so, or there be a hack or something. But really whats the point that really kills the portability, maybe if you could use a flash drive it would make more sense.

Of course its easy to make a battery powered usb 'extender' ie. a male usb port to female usb port with added power from a battery pack (9v battery, a few AA's....)

Ya and then for where the usb thumbdrive is it is a usb wifi drive.

gp32_console <---{battery}---< <[usb wifi thumb drive]

Then it is already running linux so you make a browser then poof internet.

Could you explain in-depth how that would work?

the archos gmini XS 202 is really small and i dont think it needs a powered usb port so...... Is could be great for exemple while in the train .... or if you take holydays and dont have a computer ....

The USB socket is powered, not sure what voltage but I think it's around 5v. if you plugged in a battery to the socket, it would feed directly back into the unit and any power the unit doesn't need can also charge the internal batteries.
