Nand Help

[Motoman]

Hi guys...............
Anyway I just found out that saving all your stuff on NAND can kill you system (OH NOES!!) But whenever I save to my SD card and try to open it through the SD card theres nothing there. But when I open NAND it has everything there. How can I stop this and save my GP2x before its too late?


(dun dun DUNNNNNNNNNNN!)

Umm. anyone? I dont want to kill my system cmon!

The NAND has over a million write cycles on it, you gonna use that up anytime soon?

The NAND is only 64Mb, and it is reported that if you use up half of it, your GP2x will brick as it can't load the operating system. Leave it alone!

Copy your files from your PC to an SD card via an external SD reader (they cost about £14) rather than via the GP2x - the usb on the GP2x is buggy. You should be able to read SD cards on the GP2x, (written to by an external read/writer) fine - that is what everyone else does.

when you save in which way???
if you mount from an XP or a linux your gp2x the SD card is the one that is exported, not NAND.
saving in NAND is not so easy.
So... how you write to say that?

i Just open up my SD card through my computer, save whatever i had to my desktop, and drag it into the SD card, close the window, take it out and play

Cmon anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

that's really weird. you're saying that when you're browsing the gp2x menu the stuff appears under "nand memory"?? i would definitely stop what you're doing and get a card reader, and use that to transfer files from now on. at least then you know the nand's not getting touched. you could brick your unit if you fill it up needlessly, plus you can't fit that much on there to begin with.

get a card reader! (i know its a pain and it's certainly not free, but it's really the lesser of 2 evils)

Actually, it sounds like stuff is on the SD card, right where it belongs. Are you sure you're not confused by the color scheme on the NAND vs. SD selection screen? GPH uses black as the color for the "currently selected" item. I find this to be very confusing when there are only 2 options on the screen. Some skins, like TuxNTosh actually "fix" this by using white for the active color (which I feel is somehow more natural).
