Team Cyclops posted this news:
We're pleased to greet our users during the festive season with a very special new firmware. We'd like to thank all of our users for their patience and understanding whilst we've been working on the new release! Some of you may be wondering why we have held off from making a major release for considerable time. In short, we've been chiseling away at a new feature which we're sure many will love and find increasingly useful as times goes by. RealTime Save is now a reality for the CycloDS Evolution, thanks to many hours of hard work and testing. It's by no means perfect yet, but as always, we'll continue to strive for perfection and user satisfaction. However, it's here and works well, so we feel that it's time to treat CycloDS Evolution owners to some advanced functionality and reward their patience. General compatibility with many titles has now been enhanced too, building on our already extensive foundations. These changes are available as part of the CycloDS Evolution v1.3 BETA firmware release which is available for download from the support page. Please note that this is a BETA release, so be sure to read the included documentation thoroughly before using.

Nintendo's fiscal year may not end until March, but with the year the company's been having chances are pretty good that the company could be announcing that they expect to do better than predicted in January. That's what happened at the beginning of this year and if doesn't happen again at the beginning of next year there's a chance that investors could be a little ticked, according to an anonymous Nintendo Stock Blogger. It's ironic that the companies success could lead investors to expect constant jumps in earnings.
Of course with record Wii sales, sell-outs around the country and rumors that the Wii may be about to take the top console spot you'd think an upward modification has to be in the cards. My money is on big financial news in the coming weeks.

Next Generation notes the results of a study into the health benefits of playing the Nintendo Wii. According to the University of Liverpool research, Wii Tennis can't compare with the real thing.
"The result showed that the youths burned 60 calories (in nutrition terms) more an hour playing Wii, a 2% increase in the amount of energy burned versus the Xbox 360 players. The study is quoted as saying that 'these increases were of insufficient intensity to contribute towards recommendations for children's daily exercise,' and that active gaming using the Wii is no replacement for actual sports."

Proving once again that athleticism and real-world experience have little bearing on the outcome of Wii Sports matches, a 79-year-old bowler was defeated by an 84-year-old who'd only recently picked up the game -- virtually -- in their retirement community's latest Nintendo tournament. Obviously a popular pastime among the senior crowd, playing Wii has gotten so big at the 3000-resident Riderwood complex in Montgomery County, Maryland that semi-regular tournies are held in the various events, with underdog Nancy Davies (not pictured) upsetting previous champ Hal Winters (also not pictured) in the most recent excitement-filled Bowling final. When asked to comment on the 202 to 182 stunner, the few other residents who were both awake at the time and able to remember the action agreed that the match was surely one for the record books.

News/release from Abcd1234:
Welcome to the home page for my port of NetHack to the Nintendo DS. The goal of this project is to create a port of NetHack for the DS utilizing the unique features of the DS to create an easy-to-use NetHacking experience. I think I've succeeded in that goal. I'm probably wrong.
Features
An unscaled, scrolling map view on the lower screen, which can be interacted with using the touchscreen.
Minimap, message, and status information rendered to the top screen.
Support for 16- and 256-color BMP tilesets, including non-rectangular tiles (tiles must have dimensions which are a multiple of 8, e.g. 8x8, 8x16, etc).
Support for text mode, with optional full color and IBM graphics.
Popup command window for easy access to the full command set.
On-screen keyboard for text input and extended commands.
Keys are almost completely configurable.
Support for both left- and right-handed modes.
Save and restore.
Sleep mode.
News
Oh yeah, it's true! 1.12c is out, now! This fixes a more minor drawing bug in text mode in the case where tiles need to be erased (dark rooms, etc), which would result in dark gray, rather than black, tiles being left behind.

Brunni has given a nice release for developers:
µLibrary is a new library for Nintendo DS. Basically, it is meant to use the 3D GPU to create nice 2D games very easily, using a different approach than existing libraries (quite similar to OSLib).
The 3D GPU provides additional effects over the 2D GPU, like full transparency with alpha channel (objects can blend amongst them), a larger number of sprites (up to 1536 instead of 128), no zoom or rotation limit (2x with the 2D GPU), a larger limit for the sprite size (2048x2048 instead of 64x64). It is also possible to draw primitives like lines, rectangles, etc. allowing nice effects like in Yoshi's island for example 
µLibrary also provides a low level layer and is open to the hardware. You can also mix 2D and 3D in a single project.
The problem of using the 3D GPU is clear: you can only use one screen at a time, or 2 screens but at 30 fps. However, µLibrary is fully compatible with PALib and you can use it to handle the second screen at 60 fps. It's a good solution if you do not plan to use the second screen intensively: displaying a BG with some sprites and get the stylus state could be enough, and you can concentrate on the main screen which is driven by µLibrary.
Here is a small list of functionalities offered by µLibrary:
Supported image formats: PNG, GIF, JPG
Special image effects: stretching, tinting (4 corners), mirroring, rotation (with a defined center), selection of an image frame to display (just like on spritesheets).
18-bit render quality instead of 15-bit: provides 8 times more colors!
Virtual file system: it is possible to load files independantly from the actual support (RAM, libFat, GBFS are supported by default, but you can define your own). Allows to create more easily software that are compatible with all existing linkers
Untextured geometry (rectangles, gradients, lines, etc.)
Basic message box system
VideoGL wrapper for texture and palette loading in VRAM: it is now possible to load and unload things dynamically. Furthermore, it is more flexible (you can choose which banks you want to use for what, etc.)
Keypad and touchscreen handler namely with support of stylus speed and double click and support of autorepeated keys (menus for example).
Includes 2 splash screens
Low level wrapper to draw primitives
Text system using the same font format as OSLib
New this time
An update to µLibrary, initially only meant to fix the problems with the latest libnds release, but which finally features some nice improvements.

News/release from Ekid:
I saw the "Using the PSG to create music" thread in the other forum so I thought "Hey, why don't I make a PSG mod player" :P
So I spent the last couple days whipping up this little mod player to support PSG/noise channels, then I got carried away and added everything else a mod player needs.....
Anyway, it includes a special template.mod that has samples of the PSG and white noise (mapped to samples 23->31) so composers out there can easily make some psg tunes for ds :P (easy except for crappy .mod format).
More information is in the readme. Tell me if you find any broken .mods

News/release from DarkKnightEZ:
I've ported my 3D model converter to Windows as a command-line tool.
It converts 3D models in a .x format to NDS display lists.
Run it without any arguments to see how it should be used.
Go to my website to get it.
I've added all the options I could think of. Scaling, disabling normals to save space, outputting in .C format or in a .bin format, what texture size you use (default is 128x128). That sort of stuff.
So, I hope you 3D modelers out there can make use of this.
Happy holidays to everyone.

Jeff has released a new version of his Rogue clone for the Nintendo DS and GBA, heres whats new:
**The user-visible changes should be small in this release. An overhaul of the messaging system will hopefully avoid the sprintf-corruption on the GBA version. Unfortunately, it likely also includes fresh typos.
* Dequipping a non-equipped item no longer dequips the corresponding equipped itemslot.
* Option menu has an option to disable the Action Bar to placate the churlish users out there.
* If a creature misses themselves, it is no longer "Herself misses Wazerli the imp." (Clare Boothby)
* A massive refactoring of the message system has occured. In particular, I have abolished all of my stack buffers and the rotating ring of dynamic buffers in favour of dynamic memory allocation. This means I don't have to worry about buffer overruns any more, and hopefully likewise won't have stack overruns on the GBA anymore. No doubt in this process I've created more typos, however. Please report any weird text swiftly.
* If you change dungeon levels while possessing a creature (like a Wizard's Eye) and release control on the other dungeon level, you will now properly return to your previous dungeon level. (Mark Ehlke)
* To aggressive refactoring made swords and clubs burn up in fire rather than just state-change. (Richard Quirk)
* One new room type.
Leech the right version:
Gameboy Advance [382k].
Nintendo DS [735k].

News/release from Spuzkaizer
This was my first attempt at making something with PAlib, and I decided to try and bring one of my favorite doujin soft shooter franchises to the DS.
I probably won't continue this, seeing as how I reached my goals;
-learned a little PAlib
-made something that resembles touhou
The game itself is really simple; (DS is held like a book)
You use the stylus to move your character (Reimu Hakurei) around, pressing the up button on the d-pad (right button) to shoot at the boss. The rest of your time is spent dodging bullets
However, it's not done (insert gasp!) as it's missing several key elements that define a game;
-start screen
-game over conditions
-winning conditions
-"proper" shooting (Take a gander at the source, line 451-464 in visualham)
More or less, it's something that let's me waste some time on my DS, fiddling about, listening to music.
I'm not likely to finish this, so I'll post the source code (AKA If anyone can figure out a way to shoot bullets that is better than the one I'm currently using, please let me know)
So yeah, download it, give it a go, and let me know
(Had to put it on mediafire, since music gives it a filesize of 2.4 mb)
