Squidgeengine Freaks Out My Gp2x

[bigtrouble77]

When I try to run SquidgeEngine, most often in the initialization screen the display corrupts and the machine crashes. Sometimes I can get through that screen, select a rom and start playing. But after a short while the screen will corrupt and crash again.

I just got this thing the other day so it's never worked well. I have this problem with the 1.1 and 1.4 firmware. The NES emulator and Atari Lynx emulator seem to work fine. I also tested the video player and it seems fine, although I was really disappointed with the quality of video playback.

Any suggestions?

It's a battery issue. Apparently the ones that come with the unit are only reliable for 10 minutes. :rolleyes:

Lol, you finally have your GP2X now then!

Yeah, can you believe it? And I thought I was gonna have to send it back because it was crashing so much. I guess the battereis it came with were doa.

Seems stable with my 25000mAh recharagables.

No one can read...

It's MB, Mb, mb, MiB all over again...(just with one extra zero...)

What is the highest mah you can get right now? Is it 2800 ?

I was wondering that myself. The highest *known* brand I've seen is 2600, but a lot of cheap brands seem to advertise much higher ratings than that. Probably BS on their part

:lol:

I know someone personally who walked up to me in a huff saying "I think I need to send mine back ... the screen goes all funny with colored lines."

:lol:

Yeah, the first time my GP2X did that, I thought it was defective or something I'd never see a handheld which reacted like that when the battery was empty :S

 

[rokdcasbah]

just for the record, mine turned on & stayed for about 15 minutes with the batteries included in the box. then i chucked 'em. i guess everyone's is different. there may be some wide tolerances in the battery manufacturing as well.

 

[Squidge]

Hmm, the included batteries with my 2x lasted about a hour. Seems to be the best going.

 

[bigtrouble77]

Ahh, me and my typos...

I was a little freaked out because I had already preinstalled everything to my SD card so I'd be able to immediately jump right into everything when my gp2x arrived. So I pop in the batteries and my sd card and start playing and the thing is unstable right off the bat. Some stuff worked, but Squidge's stuff kept crashing.

I knew about the issues with those crappy batteries, but I didn't think they would make the system unstable immediately. Anyway, life is good now.

I have this problem with the 1.1 and 1.4 firmware.

You upgraded your firmware with the BEXEL batteries???

You´re lucky you haven´t bricked your gp2x :blink:
