GP2X OHH program list 3c - Applications: Misc Apps (part 3 of 3)

This has taken... um... a while, hasn't it? Still, I really have done it now! Here is the last part of the "Misc Apps" program list. I was originally intending to go on to another category after this, but we'll have to see how it goes. I have a game review to write yet, for one thing!

OHH GP2X archive - Applications: Misc Apps

Click the link above to go to the contents page for this section on openhandhelds.org, which gives rather more details for each file, and a screenshot for many. This list is intended more as a quick reference, for those who just want to scan what's available. Note that I haven't generally commented on a program's quality or completeness.

Back again

I've been off on my Easter holidays, hence the brief absence. My to-do list now includes the following:

1) Continue the list of programs. No, honestly I will! Apart from anything else, I want to get the "Misc Apps" list over and done with.

2) Review another game. I've been playing one particular title a lot over the break, so that will be my choice.

3) Ramble on vaguely about anything I like, since it's not as if I have an audience or anything here...

A couple of things

1) Yes, I am still going to carry on with the list of programs from the OHH site. The pause is for reasons entirely unconnected with 2XGB, or even the GP2X. I will be getting back to it!

2) On the (hugely unlikely) offchance that anyone other than me actually reads this these days, please do feel free to suggest games you'd like to see reviewed.
