Did you update the menu interface launching the gpu included in the firmware?
Maybe you only updated the firmware and not the interface...

I will have to get back on the details but the basic step is to have a folder/directory on the "nand" that is called "skin" and then have the skin sets in there (*.gps). I tried the archive setup for 2.1 and it did not do what it was supposed to do but I ended up doing it by hand. So the short and sweet would be to create a folder called "skin" on your SD, load the ".gps" files into it and then move that folder to the "nand" drive.

Not being sure what skill level you have I will stop here and let you tell me.

The full pack can be found in the archive here:

Well what can I say (I'm not worthy....I'm not worthy)You are indeed a GP2X wizz,
thank you so much.....Have a great christmas "I am now thanks to you"

I am far from a wizz, I just fought the problem and got tired of the automated way failing and just did it by hand. I telneted into my GP2X from my laptop command prompt and then did it all by hand. Afterwards, I found how to use the explorer to do most of it. We are here to help generally, sometimes laugh at/with you but "help you, we should".
