Vshot is an easy to use tool for taking screenshots on GP2X. Unlike other similar tools, it can handle non-standard framebuffer locations and all RGB graphic modes, so it works with most programs out there. It can run in the background and wait for a button press, and uses PNG format (libpng) for it’s output.

STPPC2x is a GP2X port of Simon Tatham’s Portable Puzzle Collection, a set of 27 addictive logic and puzzle games.
Changes:
– Implemented pause on the Start button.
– Added game configurability for all games under the Pause menu.
This greatly increases the potential of the puzzle collection and lets you configure the types of puzzles in all manner of ways. So you can play bridges on a giant board, cube with an octagon, dominosa with more dominoes, solo in a number of different ways, net so that the board “wraps” and a million others.
The Pause menu hides all the configuration, and you have to start a new game from there for the options to take effect. The games will tell you if you have set options incorrectly, e.g. tried to play on a -1 x -1 board etc.
– Bonus points for anyone who finds the “hidden” jigsaw mode Sudoku.
– Added loading of game instructions from text files on the Pause menu (press “Help”).
– Anti-aliased some parts of the display, e.g. text, lines, etc.
– Background colours tweaked slightly.
– Compressed all executables with UPX, reducing their size by 50%.

News from the Giana’s Return team… for those who don’t know, Giana’s Return is a heavily “The Great Giana Sisters” influenced 2D jump’n’run game, which will be released for multiple platforms.
Quote:
World 4 has been tested and declared as almost bugfree. There seems to be a bee which does not behave as it should, but with some modification, everything should go, or fly, it’s way
As soon as we have the modified clouds, we _might_ consider taking a video, but the chance of “more screenshots” is slightly higher.
