1. look at the caps at Play-Asia; very cheap.
2. Yeah, get a DS case. You don't need a link, just get the damn case.
3. You've been here long enough ... SEARCH!

yes.

[freddykreuger666]

does your TV have S-Video in? if not, then you need to get an adapter...probably to component.

go to radioshack...they'll help.

You didn't let him make a saving throw...and he's probably not a big magic/psionic user so his AC has to be decent for a level 1 character.

but you also get pluses for being a mod...

Wow, at least you're honest. However, the attitude you're expressing is exactly the reason why some people get irritated. You don't feel like expending any effort for yourself, and you want other people to do it for you. That's pretty lazy. Try to remember that this is a Linux console that wasn't ever expected to be a mainstream device.

Are you sure the GP2X is right for you? Maybe you'd be happier with a DS or PSP. Those don't require any special effort at all (at least not for commercial games).

Yeah, but then he'd flood the Nintendo/Sony forums with cries of "Help! My DS cart won't insert correctly, the slot is too big!" or "What do I do with this little silver disc now that I've cracked open the UMD case?" <_<

 

[freddykreuger666]

a handheld console isnt all about copying folders + selecting wot wires needed to connect it to the tv, its for playing games ~~
but all the topics i searched for were outdated
and the firmware says it changes a few video stuff and thats it, but still 90% upgrade, must be something im missing
still dont have a clue wot wire to get name/number or anything

 

[TelcoLou]

You need a s-video-to-scart (or RCA) adapter ... and extension cables.

</charity>

 

[pool34]

You really need a waffle for christmas.. not a GP2X

Edit: What you really need is THIS

 

[freddykreuger666]

Find your television's instruction manual, or write down your TV's make and model. Take this information along with your TV-out cable to your local electronics store. Show them these things and explain to them what you're trying to do.

Tell them you need to buy an RCA extension cable. Ask them what kind of converter you need (if any) to connect the RCA extension cable to your TV.

1. GP2X connects to the...
