Is it possible to use normal perephirals/devices on the GP2X with a powered USB hub?
Or is it more complicated than that?

Yeah the only thing we're lacking is a USB host port. Other than that it's good to go.

I hope, because is one of the first reason i take this incredible toy

There's no host mode on GP2X. GPH put in a USB2.0 chip that doesn't have host mode. Host mode is needed to connect things like USB mice, HDDs, memory sticks etc.

Oh MY GOD!!!!
it's totally unusefull. it's a shame and a lame.
WHY?
if you put linux on a machine such that
WHY does not put an usb host port inside???
that's the second HUGE error i notice in gp2x after the lack of bluetooth o any network.
i'm becoming sad about that.
i hope buying a smart toy, and i get a stupid emulator.
what a MESS((

Not sure, but when I looked the chip does support host mode, just not on the same pins that are bought to the device mode connector. It really is a shame that they didn't put that extra connector on

Fortunately (as it seems) workarounds might be possible via the SDIO and Ext port.

I agree. It's a dumb.
Second mini usb socket would be an ideal solution. Then the GP2x would have fast USB2 for transfering data to/from SD cards and slow USB host for connecting a peripherals.

Would be nice to see an Ext solution, preferable one that still allows a TV to be plugged in. HDDs are nice for movies and it would have been cool to link two units.

is there any SDIO device that acts as usb host?
i don't like SDIO solution, because i need the SD port for storage, and not for devices.
I think that if the chip really support host port, i need to do what GamePark didn't do, as an hack to attach another port (this time the host one) directly on the chip.

What do you want?

I know there are SDIO cards with both WiFi and storage. I don't know if there are cards that have USB or USB/storage.
What's the speed difference between USB 1.1 and 2.0?

1.1 is ~ 2Mb/s
2.0 is ~ 480Mb/s
i don't like sdio solution because i pay for a chip that support it, why i have to buy somthing else.
I will modify mine, but i think that this discussion can be really usefull for engeeneers that don't think about what people pay and what people want.
just my 2 cents

It's your own mess though. If the feature list differs from the list of features you've made up without doing any research, it can only be your fault if you still bought one.what a MESS

A drastic one.
12Mbits/second for USB 1.1
480Mbits/second for USB 2.0
In a practical use USB2.0 is not that different from using a harddisk connected via IDE or SerialATA. However USB1.1 is perfectly usable for a reading data for such things like movie playing and of course for a keyboard and mouse/trackball.
