So Craig, Whats That Gp2x That You Have Like?

[wild_eyed]

whats the menus like? have you tried any software? any feedback? any complaints?

 

[Pulstar]

I like all the views on this thread waiting for Craig to reply, heheh

 

[Jarska333]

Hum, is he supposed to have a production unit, then?

 

[elektrocution]

im not quite sure he will reply "its CRAP! dont buy" so basiclly its a bit hard to expect a honest reply so better not say anything. ill wait a bit after the gpx2 has been released and then i will read every fucking thread about it and then decide if i want one.

as of now, i want one

 

[woogal]

Have they even been built yet? As far as I know all craig has is a dev board with no official software, not final gp2x hardware in it's final case.

 

[Huxley]

Oct 4th: The first final units are complete, beta testing of the OS will take around 2 weeks

I think Craig's talking about the final units being complete over in Korea. I'm sure he'll update us as soon as he gets his hands on one.

 

[Esn]

Don't worry, he's sure to have a review out sooner or later.

I think "posting ino on Monday" is quite a teaser already.


TO CRAIG - if you see this, I emailed you and PM'ed you regarding the TV-out and movie playback resolution. It's related to a discrepency in info I've been given, and want to clarify things for my FAQ. Can you check if you got either message and reply? If not, I'll ask again. Thanks.

 

[craigix]

I don't have a TV cable with this unit. Its basicly a hand built unit with new firmware (still buggy) hardware is good though. USB does not work yet.

edit: Did you PM me on here? Hmm I don't have any new mail...

 

[second exodous]

There aren't any weird power issues with the batteries are there?

Thanx,
Stan

 

[craigix]

Batteries don't work on the beta units, its PSU only.

Have you taken a look at the buttons yet? Do they seem like they'll last and do the four face buttons look like they'd be easy to remove and re-arrange (Current's there's a REALLY weird format; I'd like to organize the buttons SNES-style).

 

[second exodous]

I was thinking of rearranging them to the SNES style also, but on games that are ported it would be incorrect for them. All the games I played on SNES I have the buttons memorised anyway, so it might not bug me too much.

Oops, didn't see your reply Craig. Is this because of a hardware bug, with the battery power I mean, or did GPH just cripple the beta/dev units? I hope they are just crippled and won't set back the release of the GP2X.

Wow, I sound paraniod.

Thanx,
Stan

Ick.
All other games would suddenly become confusing.

​

I'm also wondering if it'd be easy to re-wire them so that wouldn't be a problem. Or perhaps just only re-wire them so that I don't have to learn one more button arrangement (Seriously, the GP2X's is REALLY weird).

 

[Alpha2]

it's only wierd if you can't think outside of the SNES arrangement. just concentrate on the buttons you need to press and not the letters on them and you'll be fine.

I mean heck if we ever get a decent Playstation Emulator are you going to carve shapes into the buttons?
