Blogging Ottinger (tim)gp2x upgrade to 2.1.1
I went for it today. I used the easy instructions and upgraded my media player/game to version 2.1.1. I had read that 3.0.0 was not really ready, so I decided to wait.
The main thing I wanted was to be able to play my mono Old Time Radio files. I get a lot of podcasts, many of them old time radio. Some of the stereo ones played fine, but the old mono files were awful.
I actually carry my old Zaurus around with me strictly as an mp3/ogg player. I could replace it with a big SD card if this works. I have music in both formats, and would be quite unhappy if I could not listen to all my files.
I’ve tried it and… It worked!
Mono, stereo, mp3, ogg, whatever. It all works. It even seems to play videos better. I love it when my upgrade actually is an upgrade. This is how things are supposed to work. Take note.
By the way, those instructions were great. Simple, small, complete, reassuring. I’m a happy guy.
