QuickStart is a small application that directly launches your favourite program, if you press any button during the bootup of your GP2x.

Changes:

It doesn’t crash the sound anymore when you run it!

Thanks to EvilDragon himself for the news.

This is a C++ class that will let you add 16-bit horizontally-scrolling text to your DS. Unlike the standard PALib text routines you can (in fact, must) work with 16-bit fonts and you can have the scroller running on top of another 16-bit image. You can even have multiple scrollers running at the same time.

Another new demo/app thingy. This one is a library for creating hierarchical menus on the touch screen (D-pad control works too) in C++. It’s easy to create menus with background bitmaps, add buttons and sub-menus, and have them navigate to other menus, back to the parent menu, or execute other functions (via function pointers).

This seems to be a kind of game. The program has been rewritten and should work on plenty of different types of flashcards now.

TabPro DS allows you to read guitar tabs on your DS! The program is in early stages.

Maids and Elevators has been udpated. You are a maid, you need to get to the top of the hotel using the stairs – and don’t get hit by the elevators!

Changes:

-rock solid 270 scanlines now
-toyed with adding the title to the top of the screen but there isn’t room and I didn’t like the way it looked. Switched gears and added copyright/level # to the bottom: Copyright will show until the first game is started, thereafter it will show what level you are on (or were on when your game ended).
-tweaked difficulty a bit. Made the elevators a hair smaller and the maid a hair faster. Also changed initial elevator speeds for Novice and Normal difficulty levels.

This one has been released few days ago and was somehow missing. Diamant is a Boulder Dash clone for the GP2x which is currently in development.

A first build can be found at the release threat.

Caprice32 is one of the best emulator of the Amstrad CPC home computer series running on Windows and Unix, written by Ulrich Doewich. This emulator faithfully imitates the CPC464, CPC664, and CPC6128 models (see Caprice32 project).

Here is a port on GP2X of the version 4.2.0 that ZX-81 had previously ported to PSP.
