How Can I Tell Which Verions I Have, Mk1 Or Mk2?

[stevegb13]

Hi,

I am completely new to the GP2X and having bought one from e-bay I would like find out if I have a MK1 or MK2. If there any way I can determin this?

Thanks, and I bet this is a really stupid question too!

If it was a Value Pack, it is certainly an MK2.
MK1 / first edition isn't produced anymore.

Well you can recognise a MK1 by the joystick. If it looks like this one

It's a MK1 otherwise it's propably MK2

MK2s have Korean writing on the left half of the back label.

or maybe even the "first edition" written above it also :lol:

Not all MK1s have first edition written on it, the main things to distinguish MK1s are:
1) Game Pad (Picutred above).
2) No Korean writings on the left half of the back label.
3) Can't power low-power USB devices such as a thumb disk when you have a USB host through a cable or BOB, MK1s provide less than 5 volts.

and if it's running the game in that photo then it has an extra slot on top for reading vaporware...

From the dev BoB manual:

Huh? Which game?

well it doesn't matter, since it doesn't exist, right?

it's an int13 game called goldmine...they took the gp2x off their list of supported systems without much fuss...maybe a week ago? don't know exactly, just noticed it now. anyway this was in contrast to the large fuss they made about how they'd be devving for it.

just wondering, my gp has all the signs of a mkII (according to wikipedia) but the label on the back is all in english, which do i have?
