Still Fresh
Firstly, my apologies if some of this is old hat, I have looked back through this forum and found some bit and pieces but nothing has answered my queries specifically.
I purchased a TV Out cable from Play Asia and figured with my firmware upgraded to 1.21 that it would be a case of popping the cable in, plugging into TV and then selecting TV out on the GP2X. When the cable arrived I realised I don't have a S-Video socket on the TV. no problem as I have a good eletronics shop in town, so I have bought a female to female S-Video adaptor and a S-Video to SCART lead to plug into the TV.
When all was connected to the TV I could not get a picture when trying with PAL although the screen on the TV went from blue to black, implying some signal was getting through albeit one of a dark night as viewed from deep within cave. So I figured I would try NTSC as my TV supports this. I managed to get a picture that took up the left hand side of the TV screen only and in black and white?!? :huh:
Interestingly the sound came out of the GP2X even though I had connected the audio leads to the TV.
I appreciate that the lead is pants but is there something I am missing, a workaround to get the picture to take up the whole screen and or to be in colour? :huh:
Has anyone managed to get sound through the audio leads as yet? :unsure:
On a second note I also purchased the official GP2X case as I want to carry my little handheld around with me and look after it. I notice that the headphone socket sits flush with the case when the GP2X is inside. I was wondering whether anyone knows of, or has thought of producing a 3.5mm jack that is flat externally so that it would not rub the case and damage the socket whilst letting you use the GP2X as an MP3 player while it is nice and safe in its case.
