Cross-posted from DCemu where I didn't get much response...
Hi guys. I'm new to this board, so go easy on me.
Anyway, I've got me a shiny new gp2x, and I'm feeling a bit limited by the amount of storage space I have availiable. I'm thinking of building an MMC-slot to IDE converter, and I was wondering if theres any commercial possibility for it - who would be interested in one? It'd (probably) be in a case to take a laptop style 2.5" HD, or maybe the slim ones as used in the ipod.
It'd take a fair chunk of time to make, and may well not come to fruition at all - but I think it'd be really nice to plop a 60Gb drive on the thing. I can't see the firmware being bug-free enough to cope with such an extreme situation - but I figure its GPL'ed, so I can bugfix it (brainpower permitting).
The only potential problem I can see is power usage - but I figure that if I need to, I can attatch a battery to it. As long as its small enough to fit in my pocket, I think it'll be good for flights/etc.. full MAME romset and a few DVDs.. Yeah, I couldget used to that
So yeah - Any comments? Just as a rough idea, how many people would (possibly)be interested?
