So if they just trained the GP2X to open the .exe file and ran it just like DOS or Windows does, why couldn't someone associate all .exe files with a program and run them like that on the gp2x?

I have no idea how the Wolf port works, I'm just guessing, and if that's the case, then it couldn't be that tough to port games like keen or make a pseudo DOS emulator.
Then again, that's coming from someone who doesn't know the difference between C and C+.

Yep. yeah. Thats exactly what they did. It so easy you should do it too.
Keep us all updated with your progress.
