Mr 2X has decided to run his own page covering GP2x-F100, GP2x-F200 and GP2x Wiz news.

It’s always great to see more pages appearing who write about homebrew software and related things.

Good luck!

Spraih is an attempt to imitate old classic trading simulations, such as known from Amiga and C64.

Currently you are able to:

* Work as doormen and earn money
* Spend money by buying food
* having a bath
* eat food
* have some sleep

Of course everything is extremly basic at the moment. The coder is seeking for testers.

ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!

Some of the adventures ScummVM supports include Adventure Soft’s Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2; Revolution’s Beneath A Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1 and Broken Sword 2; Flight of the Amazon Queen; Wyrmkeep’s Inherit the Earth; Coktel Vision’s Gobliiins; Westwood Studios’ The Legend of Kyrandia and games based on LucasArts’ SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) system such as Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max and more. You can find a thorough list with details on which games are supported and how well on the compatibility page. ScummVM is continually improving, so check back often.

POWDER is a roguelike game, which is not a port of an existing roguelike. It is built around replayability and long term ergonomics, not short term learning. Author of this piece of software is Jeff Lait.

zear updated ParkyDR’s port for GP2x, which should now be in equal state to the latest official build 112.

Changes:

Your tame creatures now have a heart badge beside them to identify them as such.
Switching to a different tile res will no longer cause a crash. (Inu)
Building the tile choice list now comes from the internal allbitmaps.h rather than being hardcoded, so Ibson the Grey’s tiles will show up as expected. (Inu)
Entering a level with active lava/water from a level which has no active lava/water, when the new level is already created and previously visited this game, will no longer stop the updating of said lava and water. (Nathan Bogue)
Hopefully backspace will work on OSX. (Nathan Bogue)
Jumping in space prohibited if you lack spacewalk. (Nathan Bogue)
Jumping when buried prohibited. (Nathan Bogue)
Kobold thieves are pluralized properly. (Nathan Bogue)
Living frosts are now bloodless. (Nathan Bogue)
Digging upwards on special levels has more sensible results. (Nathan Bogue)
Remove the console window on Windows.
Shattered trees will drop their occupants. (Nathan Bogue)
Items that fall down holes will no longer be mapped. (patch by Richard Quirk)
PSP Makefile should be happier with newer devkits. (patch by Joe Buck)
Left and Right on menus will scroll fast, just like L and R do, but this also applies to the command menu where L and R are the quick bind keys. (patch by Joe Buck)
[SDL] Shift-arrow will swap with a critter, Alt-arrow will jump. (patch by Andreas Bohm)
ctype.h is included in map2c.cpp now. (Ben Hjelt)
New tileset from Chris Lomaka.
One new room.
Load game shows up first in the menu if it is available to make it harder to accidentally choose new game. (Enrique Garcia Cota)

While the highscore is kept, save games are never preserved between versions. Please wait until your current character dies before upgrading.
