Stupid Question...

[bennyboy]

This is a stupid question but i was thinking of buying a gpx2 and how was wondering how exactly, in simple terms i would go about loading a game onto it.

Just buy a SD card reader and transfer the files. It is all in Mr. Fawkes guide for the GP2X.

i got that part i just wondered where i would need to put it on the card or if there was anything else i would need to do

just put them anyware you want, and read the readmes.

 

[bennyboy]

ah, ok. thanks. that sounds easy

Try to create an organised directory structure though, it helps in the long run.

Just like on a regular computer. Download the game, put it on your memory space, in this case the SD card, and then use the built-in browser to launch the executable.

simply put the files on your SD isn't true, in fact it depends what program you put

If it is a port from a PC game, like Duke Nukem, Doom, or the ScummVm interpreter, you will need extra files, usually found on the original CD you are supposed to have (it's up to you as for where you should get those files h34r: )
For example, to play Quake, you need the pak0.pak & pak1.pak from an original CD, or from the shareware version.

If you want to play an emulator, you'll have to find and copy roms too, sometimes in a precise folder

For the others (homebrew like Spout, port of free games, etc), you usually just have to put the files anywhere you want, according to your way of sorting your games


More generally, just read the readmes, and all should be ok if not, just ask
