An update to the earlier Beta 1 on my efforts to port Simon Tatham’s Portable Puzzle Collection to the GP2X. This is a a set of 27 addictive logic and puzzle games. Some are old favourites (like sudoku, sliding puzzles and minesweeper) and others you may not have seen before.

This is the second beta release of the entire collection of the games, which I now call “STPPC2x”. This beta has 26 fully-working games, the only remaining one is completely unplayable on the GP2X – mines, a minesweeper clone. I’m trying to get help from Simon Tatham himself to fix this as I think it may be that the “Portable” puzzle collection isn’t as portable as you might think.

When this utility is booted, it looks for and deletes duplicate Wii Channels, such as the ones you may get from booting a Wii game title from another region and installing an out of region update (for example, Japanese or European Weather and News Channels on a US Wii).

** Use only the version meant for your region, or you will accidentally delete the channels from your Wii’s native region. **
