Sd Card

[tutut]

Hi all,

I just received my GP2X from Play-Asia and my SD cards are not recognized.
I own a PNY Polaroid 1GB and a SanDisk Ultra II 512 MB, I tried several formattings
under XP or Linux and had the same results, the console hangs up at the loading screen.
The firmware is 2.1.0 and it works with no SD inside, any tips or advice ?

TIA

It seems theres a few of us with this problem. I have tested a Kingmax 2gb (also from Play-asia), cheapo Traveler 64mb and 1gb's, and another 512 unbranded card, all suffering the same issue you describe. I have a kingston 2gb which has arrived at home today and I am going to test this evening, but, failing that, looks like my GP2X will be heading back to Hong Kong.

I've just bought one of these.
Not too sure if it will work or not but I figured what the hell.
They state that if it's not compatible, it can be returned within 14 days without hassle.

I should have it by monday & add the info to the wiki for anyone that's interested, when I find out what it's like.
