Dave C. has released all necessary information for his GP2x N-Gage QD D-Pad modification.

Here is what he wrote:

Here are all of the CAD files for the N-gage QD D-pad mod that I did. It includes all gerber and exellon files for PCB manufacture as well as 3D CAD models for the pad mod itself. Do what you want with these. Mod them for your own use, reproduce and sell them and make a fortune, they are now public domain 🙂

I realize that not everyone can use these but if you can have fun.

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.

Among the systems on which you can play those games are Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Dreamcast, PocketPC, PalmOS, AmigaOS, BeOS, OS/2, PSP, PS2, SymbianOS/EPOC and many more…

Release notes:

All,

I would REALLY appreciate any feedback on this new preview 2 release of the upcoming 0.11.0 release for the GP2X.

This release fully supports all GP2X’s (F100 and F200 with touchscreens) however I am not able to extensively test these releases as I do not have a GP2X.

You can download the release from the forum feedback thread here.

This should support all new games added in the 0.11.0 release including Elvira 1 & 2, Lure of the Temptress and Waxworks (Amiga version).

With the exception of a possible bugfix Preview 3 release this is pretty much what will end up as the official 0.11.0 release.

Achim has updated his “catch the smilies” touchscreen game for the GP2x-F200.

The change in this release is major for all F100 users, as this game now plays on all GP2x models, regardless of with or without touchscreen.

GLBasic.com and gp2x.de have a small nice coding competition for you – ending on March 25th.

All you have to do is code a game for the GP2x in GLBasic. But it needs to support the touchscreen of the F200!

You don’t need to own a GP2x or GLBasic – the DEMO version totally suffices for this purpose. There is no need to purchase or upgrade in order to participate. You can code and test you stuff on your PC with it.

Achim has updated his game Muepp Muepp. Similes are going wild. Try to cach as much as you can.

Currently there is only F200 support (GP2x with touchscreen support).
