OpenHandhelds gp2x File Archive - File Info

UPDATED: 21st October 2006

This is the unofficial user guide for the GP2X. At over 40 pages, the guide contains everything from setting up your GP2X, installing and using software, listening to Music, watching Videos, reading E-Books, firmware flashing and an introduction to developing on the GP2X.

New in v2.1.0:
- redesigned the layout of the guide, looks a bit nicer now
- rewrote some of the older parts of guide
- rewrote firmware update guide. it now has two seperate sections, updating to v2.0.0 and updating to v2.1.0 as they are slightly different.
- updated guide with new features in v2.1.0 firmware
- added new sections for the GP2X Menu Skins and Breakout Board.
- updated development introduction with a new setup I created, should make things easier and also using the very latest SDL libs.

mY COMPUTER COULD NOT OPEN THE USER GUIDE FILE iT SAID IT WAS CORRUPT

nadman:

IT'S WORKS FINE FOR ME

thejustone:

I tried to extract but got error message. Maybe I'm not supposed to extract?

nmn:

Its not corrupt. Use a better archiver such as WinRar(or if you run linux, try it on wine and then resort to other programs.)

JED:

Great guide, really. I had a lot of doubts about this device and this PDF cleared the most of them and made me decide to buy one (I'm waiting for it to arrive). A big THANK YOU for the creators of this document. :)

Lejoni:

UNRAR 3.4.3 from www.rarlab.com for Linux extract this file without any problem. and acroread for Linux read it perfectly.

holycow90:

save the target as zip, dont auto open with IE/XP. If you save it to desktop, then open, it should work. This is a problem with lots of zip files on XP

TinMan:

I LIKE CAPITAL LETTERS. Err. I mean- Nice work ;) Thanks! A version that can be *easily* read on the gp2x itself would be interesting. Maybe as a stand-alone-reader-app like edgepad.

Guyfawkes:

im planning to do a plain text version and a html version sometime soon.

Fantastic. Thanks for putting in the effort, this has been really useful.

gasmask88:

Well i know alot already about using the gp2x but i would like to see your development helping part of it. the problem is that i cant get it to run. does it run on the gp2x or your pc? thnks

gasmask88:

ok nvm i guess it works on adobe acrobat but every time i try it adobe says: adbe acrobat has encontered a problem and needs to close...:( my adobe works with other files though........

aniruddha:

It might be a good idea to add an chapter about connecting the gp2x sd card to Linux. How to format it (does it require vfat or is ext2/3 also ok) etc. etc. P.S. The zip file works just fine in Linux. No problem extracting with ark whatsoever.

texasmame:

Is there an HTML of this yet, or something that won't crash Adobe?

sonicman:

great, helped me get started with TONS of basics, but I would love something that goes into detail instelling types of programs.

btizef200:

badassgamer:

dont have an f200 but the guide made me order one. Flippin sweeeet!!!
