Are there any news or announcements made in the Game Convention from GPH or GP? EvilDragon is not here and I hope we can have some info on what's going on there right now from anyone who has attended, few photos of the booths and any dummy/demo machines or at least some release dates will be great.

Thanks in advance

The official GP2X website has a little pop-up with some small details about it.

I know about the pop up, I check both GP and GPH sites daily, but I hoped someone went there and can give us a clue on what's happening, anyone?

Be patient I'm pretty sure ED is very busy now. When he'll come back home after convention he'll probably post an extensive coverage with photos

ED told us on the german forum a few things yesterday:

-ED played Elswhere, Replay, Odonata and Payback. All 4 games are looking very well.
-BoB is coming out in october with a stand to put the GP2x on.
-Press, developer, dealer and Linux fans show much interest on the GP2x.
-Firmware 2.1.0 is ready, but the MMU Hack no longer works. So they want to fix this problem first.


German forum member fheusel made a few photos of the booth.
Here is a link to the topic on german forum.

Stephan, THANK YOU

MMU Hack wont work. *Cries*

Any news as to what the FW update will bring?

No. No details yet...

All I know are a few changes in version 2.0.1 Beta 1:

-Movieplayer bugfix
-Menue runs on 200 Mhz again
-Menue Design changes
-eReader: 25 bookmarks possible

ED wanted to talk to GPH to add playlists and ID3 tags in the music player, but I don't know if it is included in 2.1.0.

Cool, it would be nice if they've fixed the 'flashing menu' problem, I know it's a cosmetic problem but it invokes uncertainty into those who are having a look at the GP2X for the first time.

ED said he'd take lots of photos and he'll show them all when he gets back.

Would that be necessary? I often find myself leaving the GP2X in a semi-standby in the main menu while I load new binaries on the SD card, knowing that it won't consume that much battery power. That's it, I'm going classic, downgrading to 1.4 as we speak ;P

It's to stop the weird flicker iirc.
