Release notes:

In this beta 4, I fixed a bug concerning the ‘Undo’ button, which is not accessible anymore when a game is over (thanks to gh0st for finding this bug).

As a new feature, for this beta 4, you can play (and play) (and play again) (and play again again) the past daily challenge puzzles. For that, go to “hi scores” and then to “daily challenge ranking”. On the score pages, a “PLAY” button is available, you can try it 😉

Evildragon made a few pictures of the “inner life” of a brandnew GP2x-F200, maybe worth a look.

Release notes:

Inside this archive are some pictures of the inner life of the gp2x-F200. But that’s not all – I also mixed up an F200 with parts of the F100 case and vice versa. Of course, those pics are also included (I like the white with the black surroundings :D) You may use these pictures for anything. Do what you want with them. Completely free for non-commercial use. For commercial use, please drop me a mail about that and include www.gp2x.de as source, otherwise, feel free to do with them whatever you want.
