Greader2x, a graphical text reader, for the GP2x got an update.

The main changes in this version are the addition of an audio player, the inclusion of config routines within the program, UTF-8 support for multiple languages along with language files to translate all the prompts/menus and an improved “on the fly” wordwrapping that decreases load times and means you don’t lose your bookmark when you change config settings.

The Music Player Oldplay by Micket got an update.

VERSION 1.20
* 10 new formats supported: ADL, WLF, JBM, D00, TTA, APE, MPC, WV, MIDI, AAC
* Increased some clockfreqs since i found FLAC and other formats to be a bit to heavy
when scrolling. (Most are at 150 MHz)
* TTA (The True Audio) support with seeking and ID3v1 parsing (actually, i haven’t tested it)
* APE support with seeking and ID3/APEtag parsing. I only think newer version work though
and nothing over high compresseion rate will play (I intentionally disabled them).
* Updated AdPlug to latest version. New format supported: ADL, WLF, JBM, D00
* MIDI support. Needs the sound patches installed in oldplay/timidity/timidity.cfg
and oldplay/timidity/instruments/… (Just extract in the oldplay dir)
/mnt/sd/timidity/timidity.cfg also work.
It might take a few seconds to load midis though. (Not sure if i can reduce the wait)
* WV (Wavpack) support. No seeking or tag parsing present though. Not sure about WVC files.
* MPC (Musepack) with seeking (no tags right now, I got bored)
* Increased sample rate for libmodplug and sidplay from 22.05 KHz to 44.1 KHz, and changed sid’s to mono
* MPEG2 (and 2.5, i think) should have correct samplerate now.
* Fast accurate seeking in VBR mp3’s that has a Xing header.
VBRI headers would be supported as soon as i had one to test out (send me one if you got the FhG encoder).
* Zip’s are now listed among the directories, then comes playlists, then other files.
* Added another color to the theme, color for playlists. Updated the 2 themes i include.
* AAC-playback. No support for mp4 yet though. Support for ID3-tags

Coder_TimT released a new music player for the GP2x.

I present to you One More Music Player Client or ommpc2x. It’s a fairly full featured client for the Music Player Daemon(mpd). As such, I also present mpd for the gp2x. So, yes, this is a standalone music player solution and not just a frontend for mpd on another machine.

Optimus released a demo for the GP2x.

This is a fast made scene demo done in less than a week to support the combined demo compo of Pixelshow demoparty. It ranked 3rd.

Featuring some old and few almost new stuff (bilinear filtering, box blur, alpha blending, etc.) in a coder’s demo done in a hurry. Some parts are not as smooth as I’d wish but still there are few impressive stuff in it. It uses the ogg940 player by Dzz and some precompiled version of mmuhack to gain a bit in performance.
