(Seems like this turned into a request thread ... as long as Racer445 doesn't mind, I'll keep it stickied, even though there's now a section in the file archive) Thanks to Racer445 for the sounds and idea for the sticky

More info about it that I posted in the Firmware v2.0 info thread:
Well I did some more research on why it comes out squeaky sounding. The rate must be 22050 Hz or else it will be converted down when put on the 2x, which changes the speed of the sound. That is the cause of the squeakies!
EDIT: WOOOOOOT! I finally got the car sound to work correctly! I will turn the volume up a little and post it.
It's uploaded here! Try it out... There is some noticable noise from the horrid recording, but if you plug it into good speakers it sound nice.

I like the old Macintosh 80s startup sound, but I couldn't get it to work. I finally used Audacity (windows version) to convert the AIFF file to a WAV, Sound Recorder (bleah) to make it 22khz, 16 bits, Stereo, inserted it into the actual GP2X startup sound (gp2xsound.wav) and trimming it and making what remained of the gp2x startup sound silence instead of that stupid twinkly noise. Here is what I got:
Putfile- Gp2x Ding
For people who have seen that and want to make your GP2X sound like mine,
freewebs.com/atomicthumbs/gp2xsound.wav
Make sure you have lots of space on your SD card (a good policy for ANY firmware upgrade), put this in the root of the card, turn your GP2X off, and hold Start + Select as it starts up.

How do you change the startup sound after you've upgraded the firmware? (or is it explained in one of the threads that'll be merged here?)
Sorry, I fucked up when merging the topics.
You make or edit a .wav to be 2.70 seconds long (though Racer445 says 2.71 ... he got them to work
Then stick it on a formatted SD card, and then in your GP2X. Boot while holding start + select and you will (should) see a firmware upgrading screen. Voila! Cool new sound
