Coder_TimT released a new music player for the GP2x.

I present to you One More Music Player Client or ommpc2x. It’s a fairly full featured client for the Music Player Daemon(mpd). As such, I also present mpd for the gp2x. So, yes, this is a standalone music player solution and not just a frontend for mpd on another machine.

Optimus released a demo for the GP2x.

This is a fast made scene demo done in less than a week to support the combined demo compo of Pixelshow demoparty. It ranked 3rd.

Featuring some old and few almost new stuff (bilinear filtering, box blur, alpha blending, etc.) in a coder’s demo done in a hurry. Some parts are not as smooth as I’d wish but still there are few impressive stuff in it. It uses the ogg940 player by Dzz and some precompiled version of mmuhack to gain a bit in performance.
