Sensitive Gp32?

[OmarNawaz]

I found my old Joytech GBA adaptor i plugged it in to my gp32 and was just about to switch it from the mains when i looked at the adaptor and saw the polarit was the wrong way round. :blink:

pheww that was very very close anyway i switched the polarity plugged it in and turned on my gp32 but it appears it is sensitive to current or something because the screen is has noise on it.

Does this affect its ability to run correctly? because it does seem more unstable.

Ya I have no idea what your talking about.

It's because the adapter is unregulated. Get a better quality adapter or stick to good rechargeables.

Edit: You can use it if you don't mind the slight "noise" as you put it in the screen though. It should run fine.

What is wrong with what he said? He nearly plugged his gba mains adapter into his gp32 with the pin polarity the wrong way around (because the gamepark needs centre pin negative and the surround set to positive which is opposite to gba.)

As for the noise on the screen, is the current the same on the gba and gamepark? (I would assume it is as both use 2x AA batteries). Otherwise it is probably as Dozer said that it is an unregulated (i.e. cheap) power supply. I would not personally use it.

My english isn't that good but I did understand 100% what he was trying to say.
So my question to you guys from UK or USA. Just because the grammar is not correct you stop reading it? Or, are you just to dumb?

The distortion in the screen is generated by the adaptor NOT being regulated.

Get a regulated one.

how dangerous is an uregulated power supply for a gp32?

I'm not quite sure, but the GP32 is fairly sensitive when it comes to the external PSU. Wrong polarity, and boom, wrong this, boom etc. And unregulated power supplies can give some nasty voltage spikes the GP32 might not appreciate. I'd go for a regulated one, they're not that expensive anyhow.

"In English???" is a slang way of saying I'm sorry that's a bit complex for me.

Learn English, then come back to the thread and read it again.

Then you notice that he wrote in English.
