No Dual Voltage Love with the GP2X
I picked up a 1gig DV RSMMC to use with my slew of devices. I want to play around with some feature length movies I have sitting on a drive at home. I’ve mentioned Dual Voltage Reduced Size MMC previously, saying that even though it was a pain in the ass at least it was backward compatible. So I got the 1 gig DVRSMMC because of the Nokia devices. And wouldn’t you know it, it doesn’t work in the GP2X.
I have a few other DV cards, and none of them work. But they all work with my laptop and the Palm devices, so I don’t think it’s just a problem with the card. Anyone else tried out a DV card in a GP2X? Could this just be a driver problem with the GP2X? The fourth firmware update included a fix to detect 2gig SD cards, so apparently whatever drivers are being used for that SDIO slot didn’t handle all the cases necessary for dealing with different media types. Not that dealing with a DV card should require different handling, backward compatability means it should work by default. But I’ve also worked on way too much hardware to believe that. So, hardware problem or software problem? I keep saying I’m not going to spend all my free time digging at things like this any more, so I’m posting about it before I do something stupid like spend a few days debugging someone else’s hardware. Someone please tell me either how to fix it or that it’s physically impossible to do so. Save me some time.
