Super Giuseppe by atari2600land is a Super Mario like game for they Odyssey 2. The game is still a work in progress and develops slowly.
Release notes:
I fixed the problem I was talking about in today’s blog entry. When this new version is played on real hardware, the ship sometimes blinks. I don’t know what is causing it. Well, anyway, at least it looks better than it did. Here’s the latest binary file.

Caanoo
Locomalito‘s game L’Abbaye des Morts ported to Caanoo by Farox! The gameplay is directly inspired by Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy.
Release notes:
Just updated the archive with a new version for Caanoo (hope to see updated soon). In this version I have fixed a bug that allowed to jump when you are crouched. Now I have added B for jump so now you can use X or B to jump.
Trying to gain some more speed I have tested to init SDL with a 22050 sampling rate (to gain some cpu cycle) but with this the sound effect didn’t sound good (to be honest the only jump.ogg sound is playing strange) but for this version I have reverted to 44100Khz so we colud gain some little speed but maybe in a next version.
Anyway the speed is really improved from the last revision.

ptitSeb ported PPSSPP to the OpenPandora handheld. PPSSPP is an open source project, licensed under the GPL 2.0 (or later).
PPSSPP is a PSP emulator written in C++, and translates PSP CPU instructions directly into optimized x86, x64 and (soon) ARM machine code, using an efficient JIT compiler.
PPSSPP can thus run on quite low-spec hardware, including stronger Android phones and tablets, as long as there’s support for OpenGL ES 2.0.
Changes:
* Compiled to test the merge of the Pandora config on git repo
* Compatibility should have improved a bit.
* Added Joystick handling. If nubs are set to joysticks, you should be abble to use them

BBC Micro Emulator
– this is a beta
– GP2X BeebEm, with minor changes
– built with gcc, optimized for OMAP3
– with Notaz SDL, for hardware scaling
– a few disk images are included with the emulator
– button mapping and save states are working now
This port is a work in progress, not perfect yet:
– doesn’t remember path to disc images!
– the GP2X BeebEm uses 320×240, some scan lines are lost.
– the sound is a bit choppy sometimes
– virtual keyboard don’t work, not much needed on Pandora
Changes:
0.1.2.2 remembers path to disc images, little fixes to GUI
