Check "menu extension" it adds the options you aren't seeing to the bottom of the settings menu. @Jay, his mod is better, it uses the built-in 5volts off the GP mainboard, yours doesn't. @rautiocination, Jay uses a battery powered HDD.

The one I ordered which made for the phone models they specified in the break out box wiki had a pitiful amount of pins, just enough for usb and definitely not enough for the JTAG hookup. Does that kinder egg contain the voltage bumping circuit, or does the hdd run with out it? I ask as I have nearly the same portable HDD but its picky about running when its short on juice.

Been there, done that. Made the cable: http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?showtopic=29323&hl= Pimped the knob. With the kinder-uberaschungs-eier cable approach, you can add fully working USB to any GP2X - not just the one you decide to hack and slash .. on my GP2X's (I have 4 that I can use this rig with) right now I have: - USB HDD - 60 gigs JOBO Datatank, battery powered - 2 Griffiin Powermates (two-player pong, baby, yeah!) - USB MIDIMAN 2x2 (for MidiShare, naturally) - USB WLAN adapter All working, no sweat.

Its built into the kernel of the latest firmware (v2.0, i think another upgrade is coming this summer) so its definitely possible. oh yeah, colonel_panic414, i do think usb wifi cards are working, could depend on the card though.

Not following your logic on this one. And isn't that t in your name kind of redundant? I am definitely considering modding my gp2x with this, as I want to add a bunch of low drain devices, and try and port some linux apps to which use them. Possible devices: gps, bluetooth, external mouse, self powered external HDD, compact flash adaptor, perhaps even my digital rebel could be persuaded to play nice (i currently use a laptop as a remote shutter release/picture review for my job as a jewelry photographer, would depend on finding a linux equivilent to the existing remote capture propietary canon software) I can't really see how anyone who reads this site wouldn't want more devices with usb host, especially when the software is open source!

If you are such a great hacker, please, by all means, send in one of your own. Otherwise, stfu. Anyways... If I had the extra $$$, I would now buy one of those suckers in a heartbeat. I can't remember, but can you put Wi-Fi on a GP2X? If so, that would rule. If not, it's still a great piece of homebrew fun. steve, I have noticed that every comment you make is negative and otherwise unappreciative of the hard work that these guys put into their hacks.
