Power Adapter Woes

[Minkoff]

I just went out and bought a power adapter for my GP2X. It works fine, but it seems really strange to me that they'd put it right next to the buttons like that. It's really hard to play anything but Quake with the adapter in.

EDIT: Quake -> SNES? Weirdest typo ever.

Real men aren't tethered my some stinkin' AC adatptor!

It's not a problem for me. I just place my hand so the plug sits between my first and second fingers.

i did notice that from pictures ( i dont have one yet ) i thought it was stupid how the ac adapter is where your freakin hand goes..everyone knows it should be on the top, did GP even read the basic handheld console guide before they made theirs? hehe

 

[paeryn]

It fits quite nicely for me,

i also put it between fingers, it's bothersome but it's possible to find a way anyway
or build a superslim connector maybe ...


the most bothering thing is the PROCTECTIVE RUBBER over the AC hole, always 10 minutes to manage to close it !

They used the Official Handheld Console Guide by Timmy, which I have managed to track down:

The "official" one is supposed to be a right-angled plug, so doesn't interfere much with gameplay.

still looks quite bothersome to me, i can already feel the cramps in the palm of my hand after playing for hours on it with that in

guess ill just have to use batteries even when im sat immobile D:

I've got a right angled one

 

[shezzor]

Yeah, I too have a right angled plug and I dont have any issues. Although trying to get the rubber guard back in place once your finished thats another matter altogether

Some people have problems with it, but me, I always get it perfect within 3 seconds.

I find that if it's not in after I first slip it on, it's better to lift it back off and try again rather than trying to adjust it when the usb or psu side is in and the other isn't.

Yup. Thats what I do. It it doesn't go in the first time, take it completely off, and try again.
