You switch task by pressing the the hotkey (Left Trigger+Select).

Unlike other currently available snapshot tools, this one is highly compatible to most UMD games and homebrews. A Bitmap graphics picture viewer is incorporated into the shell. Currently, it only supports 8bit or 24bit color with 480 x 272 resolutions only, ideal for viewing snapshots.The built-in iR Commander is an Infra-Red Universal Remote Control software. It allows you to control various home appliances and other infra-red based equipments. It has built-inIR codes (Pronto Hex Codes) for over 2000 devices.

Bjimba has ported DosBox to the GP2x. Release notes:I looked into various options: porting one of its clones, running it under the already-ported Bochs emulator, rewriting from scratch... I finally had some success by porting DosBox to the GP2X platform. It's similar to Bochs in that it is a software emulation of the Intel CPU, but it also directly provides the DOS infrastructure, and is designed primarily for DOS games.Well, it works well enough for me to play BlockOut, so I'm making what I've done so far available for download here.It's definitely for people who like to fiddle, since you really have to rewrite obscure text configuration files for every game you want to play, and you have to creatively map the GP2X buttons to enough keys to make the game playable.http://bjimba.blogspot.com/2006/02/dosbox-for-gp2x.html Read more about DosBox v1.0 (DOS emu for GP2x)

Image provided by: MadelmanBubble Train as the name suggests is a train of bubbles travelling along a track where the last carriage is the driving force instead of the front one. The bubbles come streaming along the track trying to reach the end of the line. You are equipped with a bubble firing cannon, where you fire bubbles into the trains. When there are 3 or more carriages of the same colour they explode and the train shrinks. So you must blow up all of the carriages in all of the trains before any train reaches the end of its track.http://elligre.tk/madelman/index.php/gp2x/games/ Read more about Bubbletrain v0.1 (GP2x Game Port)
