Windows Won't Detect My Gp2x

[ilo]

Windows won't detect my GP2x, keeps on saying usb device not recognised, I have tried the linuxinf as recommended in the help but this did not work, i have also tried on both usb 1.1 and 2.0 but no change, any help would be appreciated.

ps: i am running Windows XP pro on an ASUS An8-e, Athlon 64 4000+, 1gb pc3200

try another usb cable thats the problem, also make sure the sd card is formatted properly (using an sd card reader is the best way add files)

Hey, i did use this usb cable on my work pc and it all worked fine, managed to add some files to the card and all but now it decides not to work at home. not sure i have a spare cable to test but will check.

Thanks

its a common problem, i found that using the cable that came with my card reader it seemed to work fine over the pc, whilst using the one supplied with the 2x i just got the device not recognised errors

If it fails again, or won't work on another Windows PC, download Knoppix (A Live CD version of Linux), it should pick up your GP2X using the standard cable

Or, order a free disc from ubuntu and just use it to transfer games. (you can run it live too)

Or you could just get a card reader

or upgrade the firmware to the latest

If you upgrade to the latest firmware , make sure you follow the instructions carefully. I missed out the START+SELECT button press on start-up and couldn't work out why I always had Firmware 2.0.0 displayed on boot rather than 2.1.0. Getting to my point, when I upgraded and missed out that stage, USB didn't work at all.

yeah, the update from 2.0.0 to 2.1.0 fixed my usb problems too
