It's been quiet :)

Yes, I have been lazy lately and haven't updated the blog a lot. Not that I don't play games anymore, just a bit less and also played Nintendo DS more frequently.
I like the little machine, it has some advantages compared to the GP2X.
There are more up-to-date commercial games, better battery life and the one I probably like the most: a fast boot up time.

That doesn't make the GP2X obsolete *yet*. The GP2X has got a bigger screen, great homebrew and fantastic emulators. If you want an impressive retro-games collection on a 4 gb sd-card the GP2X will serve you well.
A week ago I played my good old GP2X again, installed some new homebrew and it was pretty fun playing it again.
Animath is a great Zookeeper clone made by Ruckage. Quality of the game is outstanding, it gives the GP2X users a commercial quality game for free. If you play the game please support Ruckage with a small (or big) donation. He deserves it, and we really should embrace his effort. He is one of the few homebrew developers that is capable of making really good games with awesome graphics.

Maybe even more amazing is the fantastic work of senor quack / djwillis and Orkie in creating Open2X. Its first official release is near. Very nice!

Thanks, I will definitely be posting more later. Had some issues with retrieving my password and was busy with real life.I will have some more time next coming weeks, so keep an eye on the blog.
Also expect a lot more after the Pandora is shipped :)

you got a pandora? nice, I want one, but its a bit much for me right now. However, I have recently picked up a Dingoo(a320.freeforums.org), its a very nice console for playing retro games, and its very cheap(US$82). I highly recommend buying one if you have the money.

I don't have a Pandora yet, but I have pre-ordered one. Will take some time to arrive though.
I might be interested in a dingoo when Linux is fully implemented and more is ported to it.
