retroguru.com reports that Outcast, the Atari ST emulator for the GP2x, has been updated to version 002. Below are the changes in version 002, the second release of this brand new emulator.

- FIX: Flicker in the menus nolonger exists.

- CHG: Clears the screen and shows a message when firing up the emu, so you know to wait a moment and whats going on, and no junk at bottom

- NEW: Enabled throttling by default, to approximately 60Hz though the menu lets you specify 60, or 50 Hz, or even 30Hz to slow things down.. to no throttle at all for max speed (like in alpha 001 default)

- CHG: Added a lame comment to loader to make it feel more authentic; I really need to add a sin-boncey-text intro for the real deal

- NEW: Theres an operational ST keyboard for entering text, that is used for the Make a Savestate operation in the menu, and a few other spots

- NEW: Savestates and loadstates should work; while in the emu, hit START to bring up the runtime menu, and hit Make a Savestate; there you can enter a filename with the ST keyboard, and save out the state. You can load the savestate (.ss file) from the Disk Picker just like loading a floppy into the machine is done.

retroguru.com reports that EFCS2X, an open source Chip8 emulator for the GP2x, has been updated to version 0.1. Below are the changes in version 0.1.

- made keys configurable on gamebasis. the file "keymapping" contains the standard mapping of gp2x keys to chip8 keys. if you want a different mapping for a game, you just have to create a file with the same name as the rom, but without extension. example: rom "race.rom" will try to load keymappings from "race" - if "race" doesn't exists standard mappings will be used

- updated fileselector to 0.6

- renamed binary to.gpe (to show up in games instead of utility menu)

retroguru.com reports that FCE Ultra GP2X, an open source port of FCE Ultra (the Nintendo Entertainment System emulator) to the GP2x, has been released. Below are the release notes for this version, followed by the future plans of the project.

A quick, mean and at the moment painfully slow port of the NES emulator FCE Ultra to GP2X. The port is based on the fceu-0.98.12 source shipped with ubuntu linux including the patches made by the ubuntu and/or debian team.

- Manage to change Selector's language to English instead of Spanish (langCode=EN is ignored?)

- Implement all 8 directions of the D-pad instead of just 4

- Change the happy hack screen blitting

- Fix sound

- Change from SDL to Rlyeh's SDK

- Do a less intrusive port so GP2X support can be included in the main branch
