Thanks to drunkencoders.com for the news.This was the first coding competition GBAWinS.com ran - and i see it as a success, we got an overall of 10 entries, and i think it's alot for a small compo like this one.

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.
