Re-initiallising My Gp2x

[starbase1]

My GP2X is not booting up properly. Can someone please point me at the most up-to-date instructions for blasting in the OS or firmware or whatever?

Many thanks,
Nick

If you can still put a firmware in there try re-installing it or if you prefer to put firmware 3.0,
here is the link:

Can I use that in my older, (black) model?

Well, it starts out OK, but does not get past the splash screen.

I put it to one side some months ago, but decided to try and get everything working ready for a holiday.

So basically I am lookming for idiot proof instructions on re-initialising everything possible... And I speak as a highly accomplished idiot!
:lol:

Splash screen is good. That usually means you don't need JTAG tools. You should be able to just put the firmware files on a SD card, switch on and bingo. You might need to hold down start+select whilst turning the power on depending on which firmware version you were using last.

If you have an F100, I'd download firmware 2.0.0 from the file archive and use that (remembering to unpack it first of course). If that works, you can then attempt to upgrade to 2.1.0 if you wish. I wouldn't go any further than 2.1.1 though.

Thanks, that should cover it, I'll give it a go!
