Still Fresh
I have made a new utility, which will help to save batteries with the GP2X. It is called GP2X EnergySaver and works much like TV-Out Fixer.
Once activated, the utility launches a background proccesss (with low CPU consumption) wich, at stablished time intervales, if no button is pressed and it is not in TV-Out mode, switchs CPU Speed to minimum and turns off the LCD Screen, reactivating everything whenever a button is pressed.
You can also use it on your own, instead of using the interface i have made. You only have to copy the file setbl of the package, and use it from a script, passing as an argument the time in seconds that you want to set.

Simple example to launch with MAME, with a refresh time of 30 seconds:
You cand download it from GP32Spain (http://gp32spain.com/foros/showthread.php?t=31964 and http://www.gp32spain.com/foros/downloads.php?do=file&id=713) or, if you tell me where, i can upload it to another place.
Please see the Readme included for more details (like changing the language of the interface).
