wow, bicostp, you never post in this forum, or n64, but that is unrelated,


I'm really posting to ask a question, is the gp2x really worth all of this? I've'n't ever seen a gp2x or played one, but from what I've read people don't care for the gp2x...

im getting paid to do it so yes :lol: i LOVE my gp2x 1st edition (as seen in the previous pics) at the time it came out it was 50$ cheaper than a psp and very nearly as powerful without all the firmware BS to deal with. and it had (and still has) amazing homebrew support. You are obviously reading in the wrong places :lol:

Don't try to talk Triton out of what he likes. You won't win. :P He's one of those Amiga guys, too.

HUGE UPDATE!!!!
item 1:
I modified the design for the shell somewhat to simplify the design and make it easier to get close to OEM appearance. the front face and rim peice are now one peice, i need to tweak it a little more but in my testing there was no problem getting the gp2x board in and out and the lines will be much cleaner!

item 2:
Ive modified the leading (bottom) edge of the face with a new feature, its gonna need some tweaking but i think it REALLY brings the whole new look together. mad props to dragonhead for the idea!

item3:
THE DPAD MOD WORKS!! wired it up and tested it tonight and worked perfectly first time around!

Image
pics and stuff probably tomorrow! and KILGORE, GET ON AIM! have stuff i need to talk to you about!

Small update! i have a banner for this thread now! and also did some work on the 2x!

now has a trigger "center click" button!
is now smoother due to more bondo and sanding!
has a new, much better looking Wedge of Light!
have decided on a final color, and the big news....

will be painted by none other than Custom NES Dude!
:D
