Just looking at writing a game like 4-in-a-row or Noughts & Crosses as a first project as there are plenty of them around and the hard work designing it has already been done.

I have a quick question about making it multiplayer

Would you need to have both GPX2s running the program or could one of the gpx2s take input from both handhelds and output to both screens?

don't rush back with an answer, i am only just 2 days into programming in C, so it isn't a critical problem?

Cheers
 
If the game is unprotected you can copy it to the other GP2X but if it's sold with DRM protection then you will need some kind of client software or 2 copies of the same game. If there in the future is a multiplayer feature that's quite common I suspect that all commercial games will require 2 copies of the game. It would be cool if you used an USB hub and 3 players had a client software :)
