Because you have to wrap the cord behind the GP2X and then up to your ears. This is apparently a travesty.Question: Whats wrong with the headphone jack on top of the unit?
My iPod mini's is on top, and it doesn't bother me one bit.
3)People can do the second option & then download the extras package for the program. The extras package will automatically install & set up a frontend for the program (if there is one), create a gmenu2x short cut, icon & any extra parameters (if it's installed), change the config files of the programs & basically give the user a completely set up, easy to use & hassle free system (just add roms).
The last option will give the user less freedom than the other two options, but it will also stop new users with no interest in tweaking etc. from populating the forums with the same old questions. Those users that prefer to use the 2X just for gaming & media (rather than the real fun stuff) will probably love this option.
Well, I've learned that there are a few (not too many, mind - This is a veri sivilized Intarnet Plejs, at least as long as you don't go inte the slipstream :-> ) people around here who for one reason or another have a corncob up their behinds. Perhaps we should make a welcome message to prepare newbies?

That sounds like an amazing idea. I would definetely use that, as I am very lazy with extracting, setting everything up, ect.
What? So basically this will set up apps for a user automatically? Don't think I'd like that, but sounds very useful for newbies.![]()
Cheers for the feedback guys.This is pretty much my dream for my '2x. Not cos I'm a noob (I do enjoy poking around etc) but I'd love a simpe package management system that would install everything for me, more or less because I'm lazy. It'd also be nice to have a feature that would automatically update apps etc.
Oh, and I don't use gmenu2x simply because I can't be bothered writing the link filesa prog that did it for me would please me a lot.

You should put DCGM on that list: "Please Disregard DCGM if he insults your mother or calls you a ****** *** ***** **** "

"what do you mean?"
"well, my friend just clicks something on his pc and he gets all the games"
:unsure: "im not sure what games you mean, but hes probably bought some, or downloaded them"
"well, if i get one of those things (gp2x) can you set it up for me?"
<_< (mumbles something so as not to sound as if ive agreed to anything)
sheesh, i mean im pretty clueless about a lot of computer related stuff, but even i know 'the games' on a pc arent just built in! and yes, i did ask him if he meant solitaire or minesweeper!
still, this is balanced by the fact that another guy at work who does know stuff is interested, AND also just by showing a screenshot of black tiger on an arcade forum one of the guys there bought one (gp2x)![]()
Trooper, I love how you captialize "Dumb" :lol:trooper posted on Feb 12 2007 at 04:15 PM said:@ danny_galaga
You could always ask the guy who does know his stuff to team up with the Dumb arse :rolleyes: and show him the ropes. You could feel good in the knowledge that you have helped the guy out, And safe in the knowledge that you have relieved youself of the burden of a Dumb arse.![]()
It`s a win win situation.
