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.

CrazyC updated his DOSBox port for Playstation Portable.

Release notes:

I’ve fixed most of the bugs that I could find in the 3.x build of dosbox (at least with the fat psp). Now you should be able to exit and set any about of memory in the conf file as long as it can be allocated with malloc. Also, with a pair of prx’s it has the same functionality as the 1.5 build. Neither prx is necessary to run the program.
