I downloaded Race for my GP2X.But couldn't get it to work.So I downloaded the newer version.Still couldn't get it to work.Tried moving the roms.Tried shorting the names.Then I looked on here,thought about if I changed the select file.But I opened it up with wordpad.Now all my GPE files have wordpad on them.Can I change them back?.Plus can I get the Race to work?.I have windows xp.

Remove extension in windows: Explorer - Tools - Folder Options - File Types - GPE - Delete

Race is path specific. Make sure your files are where it expects them to be or change it to fit:

#path to base directory for file explorer
baseDir=/mnt/sd/roms/ngpc/

with the extensions that it needs:

#File filters
fileFilter=ngp
fileFilter=ngc
fileFilter=npc

Then make sure your files are the appropriate length.

Hint: to recall your selector use this for race.gpe

#!/bin/sh
rc=0
while [ $rc -ne 139 ]
do
./selector ./race_config
rc=$?
sync
done

cd /usr/gp2x/
exec /usr/gp2x/gp2xmenu

Also, change intro.wav to .old so you won't hear it screech. If you already edited your race.config, copy the old one back. Keep your files in /roms/ngpc on the SD. (/mnt/sd is the Linux mountpoint of your SD card)

That should do it.

Thanks. I'll give that a try.
