Miyu has modified the previous patch for the GP2x firmware to reduce the writes to your NAND. This will increase the lifetime of your GP2x. Here are details:

It has now been optimized for Firmware 1.2.1 and you now have the possibility to either install the cleaned bootscripts, ext2 support for SD-Cards AND the NAND lock or only the Bootscripts, the ext2 support but not the NAND lock.

WARNING:This is something for people who know what they are doing. Keep in mind that doing something wrong can brick your GP2x easily. Also keep in mind to uninstall this patch, before upgrading to a newer firmware.

Image provided by: ElxxElxx has released a new version of his PSP Web Server previously written in Lua, but now available as stand-alone version. Release notes:

Info
PSP-HTTPD is an extremely portable web server that runs off just your PSP’s Wi-Fi capabilities, in Infrastructure mode. When you start it up, it will connect to the Wi-Fi router and then your PSP will be accessible by any other Internet-capable device on your network. This means that you can wirelessly browse the files on your firmware 1.5 PSP using your computer, cell phone, PDA, or even a second PSP with the web browser! To go even further, you can open up your router to the web and host a website off your PSP.

Changelog
New in 0.5 are some nice interface enhancements – the server now has a status bar at the top of the console, showing how much it has transferred, the current uptime, and internal IP. In addition to this, PSP-HTTPD is now a standalone app – copy it to your /PSP/GAME directory and serve away. Here’s the official list of changes:

Server is now a standalone PSP app, using a custom compiled version of LuaPlayer

New WLAN connection code in LuaPlayer core, allowing for quick checking of connection status without freezes

Network profile selector now able to save your selection

Network profile selector auto-connects if you only have one network profile

Added top status bar to show input/output/uptime/IP info

All server execution is within a single loop now, allowing for soft restarts

Added slight margins and line spacing to console output for better readability

Changed directory listing template to 90% relative width to make viewing on mobile/PSP browsers easier

Split code and templates into separate directories

Title of directory listing page reflects location

Added auto_restart config setting

Added autorestart_method config setting

Fixed crash when trying to view non-existent directory

Added MIME type for MP3 files

Added screenshot function (press Triangle when idling to save to screenshot.png)

Changed ‘bytes’ to ‘b’ in file size parsing function
