GPX-2 & GP32 console?

[parisb]

Παίδες διαβάζοντας τα posts σας και τον ενθουσιασμό σας σας για το μηχάνημα' date=' άρχισα να "ψήνομαι" και εγώ.

Σαν μη σχετικός με το Gp2x να ρωτήσω κάτι?

-Πόσο κρατάνε οι AA μπαταρίες ξέρουμε (πάνω κάτω)?

-Απ'ότι κατάλαβα το ατού του είναι το linux που σαν open source θα ασχοληθούν περισσότεροι προγραμματιστές. Παιχνίδια η εταιρεία θα βγάζει ή αφήνει το "μπαλάκι" στο emulation?

 

Προσωπικά ήθελα το PSP για τους emulators ποιο πολύ αλλά με "χάλαγε" η τιμή. Όταν διάβασα για το Gp2x μου άρεσε σαν ιδέα και μηχάνημα.[/quote']

@parisb

Thanks για την εξήγηση. Διαβάζωντας στο "επίσημο" forum, άρχισα να το συμπαθώ περισσότερο σαν μηχάνημα. Και με τις τιμές που ανέφερε ο ANEMOS-V, πιστεύω ότι θα μ@μήσει.

Και πλην του play-asia που δεν έχω παραγγείλει ποτέ να ξέρω τι παίζει, μάλλον από Lik-Shang θα το πάρω.

Because of the enormous amount of rumors on the launching of the GP2X in Korea, I requested to GPH a summary of the problems that had arisen really, since people were generating an alarm being based on BETA translators and rumors in other forums. Today they have written to me to explain the real problems of the console and the most frequents complaints received. I am going to list all, even those that seem more absurd to me or those than already have been solved:

 

- REAL complaints about the hardware:

 

* Battery case is too hard

The battery case has to be open like in the following picture

user posted image

 

http://www.gp32spain.com/imagenes/imagenes_gp2x/gp2x_tapa_pilas.jpg

 

 

* Screen is scratched

There are two layers in the screen protector, an acrylic one and one of cellophane with black borders. Both layers have two vinyl films. Retire vinyl films and put again the layers on the screen.

 

 

* Headphones doesn't work properly

In about 95% of times is caused the by the headphones jack, that has not been entered correctly. This is because the connector is a bit hard and also some headphones' jack have a form that prevents them to enter correctly (I corroborate it, one of the headphones did not enter when I was recording the console with the camera). They are isolated cases of connectors badly soldered, in this case the unit can be replaced.

 

 

* Isolated cases of problems to the left with stick

 

Somestimes the stick doesn't work at all to the left

Simple solution (it does not need opening the console): Throw of stick and turn it several times counter-clockwise, do the same but pressing stick. The problem will be solved almost in the totality of the cases. I stick the final note from GPH's email:

 

QUOTE

* Expert in mechanical engineering recommended this method. He also experienced such a trouble when he over-fastened the bolt. ^.^;

 

 

 

* Extreme cases: Broken units...

 

Like on all fabrication process, some units came defective and can be replaced immediately

 

 

 

At this time there are not more hardware problems detected

 

 

- REAL complaints about the firmware:

 

 

* SD not detected if inserted when the console is on

 

Just insert the SD before turning on the console. It's a problem of actual firmware (previous firmwares, like the ones on TEST versions of the console didn't have the problem)

Will be fixed soon

 

 

* SD 1GB limit

 

Old driver. Will be fixed soon

 

 

* Read-only NAND

 

Actual firmware's problem. Will be fixed soon.

 

 

* USB not working on Win98

 

Only Win2K SP4 and Win XP have USB support

 

 

* Screen problems (vertical lines, wrong brightness..)

 

Fixed on the last firmware released. There is stil a problem but will be fixed in next firmware

 

 

* Short battery live

 

Actually about 4~5 hours on 2500mah batteries and 3~4 playing video

Will be fixed by reducing the processors speed on menus, music player...

In the video player the TV chip is consuming battery energy although not being used. When fixed, there will be about 25% more of battery duration

 

 

* Boot time

 

Actually 28 seconds. Will be reduced to 20 seconds

 

 

* Red battery led always on

 

Will be fixed soon

 

 

 

- New features on next firmwares:

 

 

* Music player GUI will be different

 

Improvements in music player

 

 

* Text viewer

 

History and bookmarks

 

 

* Image viewer

 

Zoom and pictures bigger than 2048x1024

 

 

 

SDK and SDL will be released soon

 

 

All problems fixable on next firmware releases, as hardware problems are absurd (battery case/screen protector) or easily fixable (headphones jack, stick...)

idi vgike to proto patch pou diorthonei arketa:

Firmware Update v1.0.1 and patches

------------------------------------

Gamepark have released a new firmware update and software patches for the included programs. Here is whats new in these releases:

 

- better compatibility with SD cards

- less frame drops in movie playback with better SD read performance

- Battery light is off. (Future version will have it on when low in battery)

- Pause to play bug in movie player fixed.

- 10 volume levels in movie player and no pausing when adjusting volume

- MP3 player slowdown when changing EQ fixed.

 

To install' date=' extract the download to the root of your SD card then switch on or restart the GP2X (if using card reader or gp2x) and if the upgrade progress has completed you should get a message to say so, dont worry if you dont as the upgrade is not compatible with all SD cards and a fix should be ready hopefully soon.

 

Also please remember that flashing your firmware can go wrong and brick your GP2X so please make sure your batteries are full charged or brand new and dont switch off your GP2X until you see the Main Menu screen.

 

You can download this release from the GP2X archive here.[img']http://archive.gp2x.de/cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi?0,0,0,0,42,914[/img]
