I Just Got My Gp2x!!!

[nickspoon]

OpenGL? Grrar! *eats OpenGLfan's face*

Sorry, I'm just very pissed off at a flash player that uses OpenGL for rendering.

Welcome to the magical world of GP2X. *gives back OpenGLfan's face*

Just been contacted and mine is expected to arrive on Monday. Hopefully given how much Wales are going to beat England by tomorrow I will still be alive after all the alcohol abuse.

great day yesterday: i run home to pick up my gp2x from the mail. then i find out that we have a new, awesome toaster, to replace our old and crappy one. so of course i made a sandwich with toast and played my gp2x. didn't get very far cause it turns out that either the SD card or my card reader is shit. got that sorted out though (kinda).

so now i am sitting here in my pj's enjoying some hot cocoa and earthbound on squidgesnes. yesterday involved playing RAW (PM me if you need the code wheel) as well as some DrMDx (sonic, cool spot - amazing platformer). currently trying to get quake and pacmame working.

daveC is absolutely right about the screen gamma...if there was a way to turn it down a bit a lot of the colors would be more saturated.

HA HA!

You thought wales was going to beat England! :lol: what a joke.

Just so that everyone knows england beat wales today by approxiametly 40- 10 (I know that is not the actual score) but anyway we whopped your arses.

 

[Trashman]

48 -13 was the triumphant result.
yey.

Indeed we did. Even though I'm not a big fan of rugby, or any other sport for that matter, I can join all of us English in saying:

We seem to have beaten you Welsh people, what what. We shall celebrate with tea and cakes, then a good round of croquet, what what.

I ordered mine from Play-Asia a few days ago. It already shipped, but via the slow 10-day or whatever shipping. Already have 4 rechargeables and a 2GB SD card waiting for it. GAH!

Well got mine last friday, just in time for my B-day. Anyway, now let's take a look at the development wiki

Mine arrived this morning, and i have to admit that it`has some serious design flaws,IMO
Here are my gripes:

1)The Thumbstick issue is really annoying
2)The Scanline issues can be really distracting.
3)You have to fit the Protective screen yourself, WTF!

1)The Thumbstick issue is really annoying

Order a cap from DaveC on the boards (PM him) - it doesn't fix the problems, but it will make the joystick MUCH more useable.

2)The Scanline issues can be really distracting.

I don't notice them that much, but you could try the CPU/LCD tweaker to see if that fixes the problem. I'm hoping a later firmware will correct it permanently.

3)You have to fit the Protective screen yourself, WTF!

I'm not sure that's a "design flaw"... So there's some self assembly required, it's hardly rocket science

Ho Ho.

Anyway, did it come?


And can you damage the unit reinstalling the SDL if it's already on there...?

One Gp2x in the bag. So much nicer than I expected, and I expected it to be nice. Real nice. Time for some MAME action...

I just recieved my GP2X. So far very impressed. Apart from the joystick - I find that I have to push the stick from the other side so that it clicks in order for left-right directions are registered. Is this the common problem?

Ordered mine last wednesday from GBAX, and it came this morning. I wasn't to impressed with it as soon as I opened the box. I was expecting it to be quite abit bigger, then I turned it on and I've been fiddling with it and I'm loving it more and more. Full Throttle looks amazing on it, and DrMD is great. Squidge SNES is pritty cool aswell.

Edit: I almost forgot to mention, Graig is so generous he included a brand new blank CD

 

[Hanz™]

Lol, I just recieved an email from GBAx telling me that my GP2X has just been sent off. A bit late, since I just recieved the GP2X this morning. Ha!

 

[NinjaFae]

Got mine, love it, hold it, kiss it. Next time I order one though, I'll remember the third film. XD Nearly freaked at it. My own fault though, didn't read the letter, saying about it.

 

[Rayek]

My order at friggin Lik-Sang is finally being processed! They quit being snobs, it seems. Regardless, I am so happy.

The scanlines don't bother me too much, certainly not to the extent of making me feel sick as someone posted here. It's weird how they're more noticeable when the unit's moving though...

​

It was me, but you have to differ between scanlines and interlacing (AFAIK).

Scanlines is what was making me sick, but luckily enough it can be solved by using the LCD Tweaker after every reboot as is going to be solved permanently in the new firmware.

Interlacing means the horizontal lines that are most visible when you move the unit (which is not a big problem) and during vertical scrolling (which is pretty irritating). No clue about when (if at all) this is going to be solved.

I JUST ORDERED MINE!

2-day shipping - anyone know if fedex delivers on saturdays? Otherwise I'm gonna have to wait until Monday.

CAN'T WAIT!!
