Serious Usb Help

My GP2x got a 1gb card today. Anyway for some reason neither my camera or gp2x can access it. my gp2x has never managed to work with USB. Please help me.

Have you tried formating the card in the camera?
This will most likely format the card to fat16 which isn't really what the gp2x wants, but it will atleast let you test that the card does work in the camera. If the camera is unable to format the card, then you card is most likely bad. IF you can format the card in the camera, and use it, then you should get a USB card reader and use it + windows xp to format the card to Fat32.

Lready looked at that before posting. Worked with camera befoer FAT32 formatting. I really know all this because of my old 64mb one i was using in it!

How did you format it? Can you camera read the card or not?

 

[sam fisher]

Hte camera could till ti was formatted. It was formatted to FAT32 and now nothing can read it. WEll the 2x can but wont show up in USB.

To get my GP2X to show up as a drive I had to manually assing it a drive letter in the disk manager. The disk manager automatically assinged it to a letter, but it wouldn't show up in My Computer, so I manually assinged it some unused letter and it showed up fine.

It doesnt even show up in the sick manager.

Your going to have to type a little better. Try to answer the questions your asked if you want help.


How did you format the card?

I have(3) 1GB sd cards from my Zodiac working on my GP2X with no problems and without formatting for GP2X.....

The only prob that I have about this is the Readme txt. without any support from the GPdev community compared to the Palm community...

It is more clear to download and test for Palm compared to open OS!!!

Right, time to crack out the old dictionary for grammar help. Anyway, The GP2x can read the card. The camera card reader can't. When connection the gp2x to the PC it does not work. There is not unallocated space in the disk manager. The camera can't read it now that its FAT32 so does not work when connecting to the PC. I used to use the camera to transfer the files over.

Do you have the GP2X on the USB Connect screen?

 

[sam fisher]

yes im not stupid.
