[GP2X Firmware v2.0.0]

[wraggster]

Guyfawkes (http://www.emuboards.com/invision/index.php?showtopic=26545) let us know whats new in this latest firmware release:

The new version 2 firmware for the GP2X has been released today. Amongst the new features are faster boot times (around 12 seconds, half the speed of before), a new 'System' menu which has loads of new features including a working USB connection (yay!), web server, USB host, samba and more.

This is quite a big update and it is required that you flash the filesystem this time so please make sure you are using fresh batteries or a power supply otherwise you may end up bricking your GP2X.

OMG, I tried this firmware and my firmware has been updates (it says 2.0 in the loading screen), but it crashes when it loads... my batteries didnt run out, it just crashed. Anyone else has this problem?

You have to flash the NAD memory also. You'll have to turn on the console and hold the select and start button simultaneously (hold the two buttons before you flip the switch) The prosses takes some minutes. After that all will be fine and workin again.

ok thanks mate! I was afraid I bricked my gp2x but it works wonderful again :cool:

Does this really add some kind of USB host support? In what way? I doubt they could just change their miniUSB port from slave to host.

Does anyone know if any of these new features work with Mac OS X. The only added feature I could get working was now USB mode works with my Mac. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know

lol this is an old thread, but i hope someone can help me, i had exams when 1.4.0 came out, and now theyre over, but i just installed 2.0.0 straight from 1.2.1 and now its gotten me worried a bit, should I have gone to 1.4.0 first before 2.0.0, has there been any reports of weirdness form anyone who did what i did, im just wondering if my gp2x missout on any optimizations that came along with 1.4.0
