The Cradle

[someone]

Hi everyone, I just recieved the cradle in the mail today, and while I like very much the idea of having a cradle is it true there is no way to get around the EXT cover without removing it??? It seems like thats impossible?!?

I am very happy with the GP2X in general and even this I have been very excited about but I can't imagine them missing something so obvious.

As stated before, if you don't want to cut the rubber cover you can open your GP2X slightly and take it out without damaging it.

Yes, I thought it was craig encouraging people to void their warranties...

the mk2 can power the cradle right?

Yep, but only to a certain point.
Too many power hungry USB devices running at once & you still need the 5v power supply.
Not too sure about using 4 USB joypads at once without the power supply or not?

Reminds me of something, my friend bricked his DS lite when he tried to flash it and he didn't know how to do it so he stuck some aluminium foil in the hole and that's it. But the stupid people in the shop didn't know what was the problem so he got it replaced with a brand new DS lite

AFAIK that's just for low-power devices like mouse or keyboard.

The MKII can power Flash drives as well. I hooked up two of my 16 gig flash drives to it.

[DBH]

Nope I didn't as well... Been meaning to take that up with Craigix.

 

[Nickmon]

Has any one found a BOB & GP2x Carry bag? Or is this a future product CraigX ?

Is there a thread on what versions of what app work with USB support, Ideally Gamepads?

Is is there any recommended USB pads people are using?

Thanks
