For a moment, I forgot what thread I was reading. And found myself wondering why on earth you'd want a Mortal Kombat PCB.DanAdamKOF said:

Okay, so my MK1 is here. It came with a special joystick cover:
And a custom OS skin with the GameBoy "da-ding!" for the bootup noise (at least I think that's custom), and a Halo 2 theme (excuse the blurriness):
How would I restore my GP2X's OS to default?
I haven't had any time to mess with playing games on it by the way (except for Vektar, which seems really cool), or installing programs.
Also I think I'm getting that problem with seeing some diagonal interferance lines run through the system. There's a program for that, right? Does it really work?

OH WOW. GNGeo2X is really cool. FFS on the go. Need I say anything more?
Can I make it so that I don't have to navigate to the GNGeo folder each time I want to run the NeoRage frontend?

Okay, so I'm trying to play KOF 98, but I'm having a problem with it. This is the first large game I've tried BTW. I used dumpgfx in XP and it made kof98.gfx. I then replaced the C ROMs with dummy files. Then I put both kof98.gfx and kof98.zip in the same directory with the other ROMs. When I go to load the game in GNGeo, I see the progress bars like normal, BUT I then get a prompt to either dump the graphics or exit. Umm what went wrong?

Okay, so I placed the gfx file (66MB or so) into GNGeo's roms folder, and after kof98 loads, I get a blue screen at 60fps that never goes away. GNGeo hasn't crashed though since I can exit it and adjust the volume.
So umm wtf?
edit: I'm using the unibios btw

Ray I don't have any Neo emulators for my PC. I haven't tried MS3 either. I'm probably going to copy some CDs my friend has from an older MAME set with all the Neo ROMs up to MOTW and KOF 99, so I'll try KOF98 again after I copy them.
I'm reading through the visual novel "Narcissu" on my GP2X now. It's quite sad and touching, and overall engrossing. I ended up playing it until my GP2X ran out of batteries; I have some shitty no-name Chinese 1200MAH batteries, so I played for about 1 1/2 hours. The GP2X does some crazy stuff when it runs out of power.
Soon I'm going to get one of those Energizer battery and charger bundles. Should I get the bundle with the 30 minute charger or the normal charger?

Ecuse my ignorance Ive been away from games a long time. I dont know what a DS lite or PSP is or a Wii for that matter,
But this thread got me intrigued.
What is this GP2X???
Is it some relation of the GP32? Now i owned one of those a couple of years back ....so disapointing. Impossible to download games etc.,
But this GP2X please could someone post a picture and tell me how easy it is to use emulators and neo roms on it
Thanks a lot

Ray, I use a Nintendo DS carry bag. I don't know the exact type since it came with my GP2X (I can take a picture later if you want). It fits it almost exactly, and the inside is padded a bit with some very soft cloth, so the screen won't get scratched. It has a small compartment on the outside that's supposed to hold some DS games and a bit more (you could fit some earbud headphones in there).
I bought the normal "sliding" Energizer charger that came with 4 2500mah batteries for $17 today. The 15 minute charger was about $30 (screw that). They're charging as I speak.

OK this should be enough to where you can tell what the case looks like. Hell, put them on your 2X and go shopping, so you can have them for reference.
Well, at least people can't call it a PSP now.
Beltloop and detachable wriststrap
Velcro closure (sort of noisy I might add)
That's some clear plastic cartridge holders sewn into the case up top, and below is some mesh area that would be good for holding earphones. That part zips up into the part that holds the DS/2X.
A snug fit.
