I have updated and released a new version of the GP2X User Guide. I was hoping to release this after the v1.3 firmware update as there are some new features which I would have added to the guide and then released after. I had to change the DNS for emuholic.com on Monday and some files, especially on the development introduction were broke, so to save loads of emails etc I have released the new guide now Heres what new in this fairly large update which is now nearing 40 pages!

- updated various screenshots to new layout for SD Card/NAND drive
- updated Viewing Images section for the new version of the Photo Viewer program
- added information on TV-Out
- added example images of screen display when batteries are dead in Troubleshooting section
- updated Firmware Upgrading section with new information and alternative upgrading method
- updates to Developing for the GP2X introduction, and new section for using Serial/USB cable
- added new GP2X Unit graphics by Richard Weeks for the GP2X Information section
- added available accessories for the GP2X

MetaView recently released a new version of his Duke3D port to the Zodiac. Changes for this version are:

- Sound playing fixed (braindead code, it is...)
- thanks to JonoF (he has a Tungsten T, btw) the mirror is fixed, yeah!
- on Zodiac we have now 3 screenmodes with scaling, you can change it in the "options" menu -> "Video Settings" inside the game (use left or right button to change the resolution)
- music is broken, will crash your device, will be fixed later

Tinnus also released a new version of Heart of The Alien for Tapwave Zodiac, which is a port of the interpreter for Heart of the Alien, the successor of Another World which has only been released on SegaCD. More information and the downloads can be found on the forum post here, dont forget to leave any feedback! ...

Tinnus has ported the Jazz Jackrabbit interpreter to the Zodiac. Heres what he says:

- Put game files in /PALM/Programs/OpenJazz
- Currently no sound, trying to exit crashes. You will have to reset on exit one way or the other
- Yes, I know it's bloody slow. In the coming versions I'll try to optimize this thing by getting rid of SDL. Too much SDL blits = too slow! Maybe I'll replace the SDL blitting calls with my own.
- Also, there are some random bugs, like the weird sky colors in the first level. This is specific to the Palm OS port.
- There are lots of bugs inherent to the engine though, which I'd better wait for them to be corrected by the main author. For example, Jack jumps low when the FPS is bad.

It’s just a rumor, but we hear that the iPod Shuffle could be killed off because of the success of big brother nano. Not so hard to believe, considering the lack of screen on the little guy and the fact that it’s still not as slim as the newer product. The only thing keeping it on the shelves seems to be the price, which could be taken care nicely of with a lower-capacity Nano. According to Ben Reitzes, financial analyst for UBS Investment Research, the silver bullet on that capacity would be 1GB. Reitzes also thinks we’ll see the next-gen Intel-powered iBook by April ...
