LINUXGAMES

The GP2X open-source Linux-based gaming handheld with a dash of SDL and some Star Truckers (which is one of the finest open-source games I’ve played in months) has a new firmware version 2.0.0 out. I got mine a few days ago and have been loving it since, mainly due to the fact that I can play my old NES games without having to deal with the rickety cartridge system. Changes in wonderful engrish:

• Booting time is shortened.
• Mounting speed is shortened due to the file system exchange.
• Loading speed of boot loader and kernels are shortened.
• We reduced unnecessary process of initiation
• You can copy, delete and move files in NAND Memory when connecting USB through PC.
• We extended battery life using time by blocking USB 2.0 power consumption and reducing power consumption when you don’t use USB
• Addition of system menu.
• We added settings function for high level users.
• We added volume limit: When you use headphone, you can adjust volume limitation.However if you want to maintain this settings, sound volume of exterior speaker is get to lowered.
• Addition of automatic execution: you can execute file at the same time of inserting SD card in the case of executing certain files.
• USB connection is so much improved by correcting USB driver.
• It also has a cute theme song when it turns on now :-)
