GP2X + Breakout Box + Griffin Powermate Knobs (x2) + MIDIMAN 2x2 MIDI Interface - Batteries == Something Interesting To Think About ..
Commentstschuktschuk says:Glad someone gets it! :) starpause kid says:absolutely wonderful :) tschuktschuk says:no, serial-out is reserved for the console ..
and there's no point. if you can build an
EXT->Serial cable for the GP2X, you can
build (just as easily) an EXT->USB Host
cable, and just use USB for what its supposed
to be used: peripherals..

this is awesome... i was looking into maybe getting one of these to run milkytracker with. when researching the USB port problem, you popped up all over the place. have you had success with this system? i am a musician and all of my hardware fits into a briefcase. i use a gameboy w/ LSDJ synced via MC2 to a Korg ER-1 with a hacked battery pack. with the ER-1, I don't need a mixer because it has an audio input. i then transmit the signal over FM to an 80's sanyo ghetto-blaster (or sometimes some thin computer speakers for ultra portability). the entire system is battery operated i do street performances with this. sometimes I do a "deluxe" street performance setup with a yamaha QY10 sequencing MIDINES plugged into a famieight (battery operated NES console). if i need a mixer i bring my mxb1002 which is likewise battery operated. sometimes i bring other gear as well, but that is the jist. the entire thing fits in a briefcase and a backpack if i bring the other stuff. i will take a picture of the setup tommarrow to share with you.
after seeing this and your idea about a bootable sandisk image, it got the wheels turning in my head... MIDI support is absolutely essential and the dynebolic linux distribution would be perfect for this. you could even do curbside VJing with one of these things. only one problem, now i need a gp2x and I don't get paid till next week. how is the luck with the flash card, and is it easy to get a linux distro like dynebolic or knoppix running on one of these things? i'm not a super advanced programmer, but i am not a complete n00b either and i have done my share of coding. awesome idea man!
