Which SD card? Anyone got any sitting around that works

[Steve2019]

Just got a Gp2x but need a sd card for it. I ordered a integral 2gb sd card from amazon but it doesnt seem to work :-(

Does anyone have one sitting around that works or knows one that will work

Its on firmware 2.1.0

Thanks

Any sdhc should work. Even the crappy Transcend ones.
Did you format it as fat32 ?
Try to format it with the official SD formatter:

Realy? I thought the gp2x didnt support sdhc unless it was firmware 4 or something which i read wasnt very good.

I don't know about the firmware version.
I'm now on open2x, and I always used a sdhc.

Can i install open2x using the built in memory or is a card needed for the update?

Thanks

I did it with a card, I don't know if there's another way.

I always had good luck with normal blue SanDisk SD cards, look for one 2GB or smaller. Seems to be about $15-20 on Amazon, expensive relative to SDHC cards, but hey it's vintage hardware now

And there's no way to install firmware without a card, unless you have a breakout box - I still wish I grabbed one of those back when they were made.

Thanks got a cheap 256mb sandisk for £2.50 on ebay, stuck open2x on and now I can read a 32gb sd card

Thanks
