Launcher Hanging/blank Screen

[Beachie]

Hi all,

I'm hoping you can help me out - I just got myself a WIZ, but I can't seem to get anything to launch. The built-in games and stuff work fine, but anything I try to launch from the "Launcher" just gives me a blank screen or the "Loading" text (the progress dots hang too). I've tried gnuboy and mame4all then, when they didn't work, I tried a couple of demos. Doesn't seem to matter whether I use Nand or any of my SD cards. Am I doing something really stupid?!?

Thanks in advance!
Chris.

Hello,
Check that you are not launching GP2X applications instead Wiz applications. They have the same format, but they are not compatible (in most cases), because emulator programmers use the hardware directly and the hardware is different.

I'm an idiot You're exactly right - I was using GP2X apps instead of Wiz. *hangs head in shame*

Thanks so much!!

No, because GP2X has previous models: F-100

and F-200  

.  

The GP2X Wiz  

is the last one.
