This year the competition was extended for 30 days and any entries from any previous competition which had been updated could be submitted or shown to us during this time to win a new GP32BLU console.

The winner is PCEadvance for the GBA by Flubba. It was originally entered in the first GBAX competition as a basic, slow tech demo emulating the PC-Engine, it now has sound, supports CD ISOs(!), is near full speed and is amazing considering the GBA's limited hardware. Download the brand new version here.
