Installing the SDL files
The GP2X supports SDL which is a development library for multiple devices and operating systems. Games
using SDL may require library files to be installed to the GP2X in order for them to work correctly; you will
only need to install these once. You can download the SDL files from the GP2X Archive at
http://archive.gp2x.de/
The SDL files are in a Zip archive format so you can simply extract the two files (install_libs.gpu and
install_libs.tar.gz) straight to the GP2X drive as you normally would on your PC. Open the file in your preferred
.zip extraction program and point it to extract the files to the GP2X drive (in this case the G drive).
Now quit the USB connection screen and return to the main menu. Navigate to the
Utility
option and press
.
You will be presented with the
Utility Launcher
screen as shown in
Figure 1

The three options are described:
SD Memory Card
- This is your Secure Digital Card where all data such as games, music and videos
are stored.
NAND Memory
- This is the internal memory of the GP2X and only important files such as drivers
like the SDL files should be installed to here. The reason is that only 20 MB is available for storage so
space is more limited than you would get with a Secure Digital Card.
EXT Storage
- This is for connecting to external devices.
