Whoo-Hoo! :D Where did you end up buying it from?

GamerSection.ca was sold out of them at the beginning of the week. Looks like they got more stock in, though.

Hope you have lots of fun with your new toy, Chess. I just bought some video patch cables and and S-VHS to RCA adapter today, so I can hook it up to my TV.

Thanks, Judland! I got mine at the same place -- gamersection.ca -- they were pretty fast and the price was pretty good.

So far, I've listened to some oggs (worked fine), watched some Firefly episodes that I had prepared for the gp2x (worked fine), played a few games, most of which worked fine, but can't get supertux to work. I just get a blank screen. I have the SDL libraries installed and what I did was create a "games" folder on my SD card and unzipped supertux into that directory. The other games work ok this way.

Any ideas there? Thanks!

Hmmm... no, no ideas 'cause that's basically what I did too. SuperTux works fine for me. Now, I did have that problem with the earlier release of the game. But, the latest release seems to work just fine.

Maybe I can find something to help you out on the GP32X forums...... I will keep "in touch".

I'm glad that buying from GamerSection worked out well for you. Did you get pinched by the Duty police at all?
