Reesy has updated DrMD for the GP2x. It is a Sega Genesis/Megadrive emulator. Changes:
Everybody’s noticed problems when saving data. It seems you need to call the sync() function after writing to a file in order to force linux to finish writing the file. People were losing data because they switched off their GP2X before Linux had written the data to disk. I have now made sure that any fwrite commands are now followed by sync() so we should be ok from now on.
Noticed a bug in my code that will crash the emulator if you try to scan more than 512 roms. Never been a problem before as the GP32 only had 128MB cards. The rom limit is still 512 roms but now the code will stop and display a message informing you that you have too many roms. In the next version I’m planning on a new file browser that will allow you to browse to any directory, this is why I don’t want to spend too much time updating the current browser system.
Change the menu colour scheme.
Removed code that updates the gamma of the menu when you change the gamma menu setting as its a waste of time and looks crap. The gamma setting now only affects the games.

Image provided by: dklaThe aim of the Sudoku puzzle is to enter a number from 1 through 9 into each cell of a 9? grid made up of 3? subgrids (called”regions”). Each row, column, and region must contain only one instance of each numeral. No math is involved, but completing the puzzle requires patience and logical ability. Other release notes:
Here is my first semi-functional release of a Sudoku program written in Lua. I just noticed a few Homebrew and commercial Sudoku releases recently, so I thought I’d let this out into the community in the hopes it may grow into a group Opensource project. Anyway, this is a PSP version of those simple yet addictive Sudoku puzzles. Written in LUA, LuaPlayer is required to play this game (version 0.15 or higher). LuaPlayer can be downloaded for free at http://www.luaplayer.org I welcome any questions/comments/suggestions/programming help from the Lua development community.
