Full Circle
2026.02.25 23:16
In my experience, life has had a peculiar tendency to come full circle in the strangest of ways.
During my years at medical school, I, from time to time, spent the short breaks between study sessions sifting through old, abandoned, and forgotten video games of the past. Though I never really was an avid gamer myself, I came to appreciate games first and foremost as an art form. Slowly chopping away at it a couple of games at a time, 100.000 games slowly were whittled down to 1.000 of the most passionately crafted pieces of entertainment history ever created. I briefly flirted with the thought of a GP2X open source game console to make good use of the collection during my final year of studies, but quickly put the idea aside.
...and for the longest time thereon out, the collection was left in the darkest corner of my hard drive collecting dust...
Come the pandemic, I was in dire need of a project to keep me sane during the long ferry rides to and from the hospital on the mainland every day. And, out of the blue, the BittBoy PocketGo handheld, coincidentally a literal spiritual successor of the GP2X, caught my peripheral vision.
Since then, I've gradually pushed the limits of what this small portable device can do, and it has slowly evolved into a fully fledged historical gaming archive, media center, and creative studio all-in-one.
In the coming months, I'll be releasing a handful of brand new software compatible with the original GP2X, the BittBoy PocketGo, and every other open source game console in between supporting the GMenu2X operating system.
Let's go!

When this web site first saw the light of day during the fall of 2006, it came quite natural to me having the copyright text at the bottom of every page mirror that of my lecture notes. However, this also created a factual fallacy, making it seem that the website itself was much older than it actually was.
As hoc anno 2026 marks the true 20th anniversary of Mednotes.net in its present form, I've finally gotten around to correcting this wrong.
Here's to the next 20 years!
