News /release from Quirky! :
New version alert! It's up to version 0.3 now. I've had some beta-testing help so it isn't full of major bugs (well, it is, but not the ones you spot at first glance).
The big addition this time round is a re-done UI with better controls for navigating about the pages. It makes use of the new dswifi 0.3.3, so any connection bugs are all my own work ;-) Fuller details of the changes here:
http://code.google.com/p/quirkysoft/...allooChangelog
As this is a devver's forum, I'll add a note about the actual coding here, in case anyone is interested: First of all I'd just like to say - what a nightmare writing sodding GUI widgets is! :-) My design for the GUI library ("BWT" - Bunjalloo Widget Toolkit... naff, eh?) is semi-inspired by Java's Swing library, but in mini-minature. This sort of OO design seemed the only reasonably sane way to go, but it requires a fair amount of discipline to not add nasty hacks (which I've fallen into temptation and added several times). I already had a MVC thing going on for the HTML Document(M) -> Rendering/input(V) -> Controller(C), so this release is aimed at rewriting most of the "V" part. There have been changes in the "C" part too, mostly fixing the annoying "unable to load" gaffs. The "M" part is pretty stable for 0.3, if somewhat incomplete. But if I'd known how much work was involved to get a DS web browser to do *anything* I probably wouldn't have bothered. It's a bit late now..
BTW it's only known to work on my particular EZF5 and my particular US-import old-skool phat DS (with 2 dead pixels; one green, one blue). It uses all the latest mod cons - DLDI, libfat, dswifi, etc - but it's all pot luck and no doubt won't work on whatever hardware you happen to be using. If it does, nice one! but if not, there ain't much I can do I'm afraid.

News of a new release of the Windows system for the DS from Ant512
And again:
http://ant.simianzombie.com/files/bi...s/woopsi16.zip
New this time around:
- EventArgs and EventHandler system implemented.
- Added key and VBL events.
- Added drawFilledRect() function for drawing to gadgets.
- Added SuperBitmap gadget.
- Converted from 8-bit display to 16-bit.
If anyone's reading, I'd like to hear your thoughts on the last change. I initially went for an 8-bit display because it uses less memory and should be twice as fast as 16-bit. However, it's become painfully apparent that the complexities of moving 8-bit data around at speed are slowing down the development process and making things much more difficult than the need to be.
I switched everything around to use a 16-bit display instead, and it looks like any speed difference is negligible, but re-implementing some of the more complicated features took next to no time. Can anyone think of any real disadvantages in working in 16-bits? The advantages are faster, easier development, and I can support things like loading image data onto the screen without having to write complex palette remapping functions. As far as I can tell, there aren't any disadvantages.
Any opinions?
I've also added a couple more demos to the second screen. There's a very simple Pong demo that shows the new key events (click the window and use up/down to control the left-hand bat), new rectangle drawing functions, and the VBL event system.
There's also a demo of the SuperBitmap gadget. At the moment, the demo is very simple - it just shows a rectangle that can be dragged around with the stylus. However, the SuperBitmap gadget is actually a window into a much larger bitmap stored elsewhere in RAM - it enables windows to contain much more content than their dimensions allow, and that content can be scrolled around smoothly by dragging the stylus in the window. (This was the real reason for the 16-bit switch - it's impossible to scroll smoothly in the horizontal axis using the DMA hardware when working with 8-bit data, as we can't copy an odd pixel into an even pixel since the data is treated as a single 16-bit value).

There's not too much to be excited about this week on the Virtual Console, just a spin-off, a sequel and a mish-mash of both. We look forward to the comments when some of you will inevitably tout Kirby's Avalanche as the best Puyo Puyo rip-off, or Streets of Rage 3 as the best in that series or Legend of Hero Tonma as the best ... something. We're looking forward to it.- Legend of Hero Tonma (TurboGrafx16, 1-2 players, 600 Wii Points): For the following analogy, mustaches are not withstanding. Imagine, if you will, if Mario was a superhero. Now imagine that his power was "somewhat more impressive fireballs". Now remove him from the Mushroom Kingdom and put him in a fantasy setting. Congratulations, you have just designed Legend of Hero Tonma. Enjoy your royalty checks.
- Kirby's Avalanche (Super NES, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points): One thing you've got to give Kirby: He's got his fingers into everything. He's like the P. Diddy of video games. This week, we find K. Biddy in a Puyo Puyo clone called Kirby's Avalanche.
- Streets of Rage 3 (Sega Genesis, 1-2 players, 800 Wii Points): Sometimes, the rage on the streets is so great that you have to come back for a second helping of beat-em-up action. But when you return for a third time, people start to get upset. They start neighborhood watches, it's bad. If you like this genre, Streets of Rage 3 might be worth your time, but we're spiritually opposed to buying any game that features a character named Skate.

Considering Wii's almost non-existent online presence, it's hard to believe that Medal of Honor Heroes 2 will pull off its promised 32-player multiplayer, but it's real and this trailer offers the first glimpse of it in action.
It's only a brief look, mind, but if EA can achieve this feat on Wii, MoHH2 will raise the bar for online Wii games and lead the way for what will hopefully be much better online modes in future Wii titles.
Trailer here

The Wii version of Rockstar's Table Tennis will not include an online mode, Rockstar has just told us.
The online multiplayer mode featured in the 360 has been dropped on Wii because, as Rockstar explains: "All the focus is going into making it the most advanced control system on the Wii."
Granted, the control system is very good - you can read about that in our preview right now. But we can't help but feel it's completely unrelated to the omission of online play.
Surely a good control system AND an online mode in the same game isn't too much to ask.

Speaking in an interview with Net-Gen, Sony's world wide studios boss Phil Harrison has spoken about the success of Wii and how it's taken many by surprise, including himself.
When asked if he was surprised by its success, Harrison replied, "Yeah, I don't remember reading anybody's analysis that called this route two years ago or even a year ago to 18 months ago, but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing. We work in an entertainment business, basically, and entertainment has elements of fashion, and it has elements of the latest cool thing.
"If that stimulates interest in the videogame business and causes more people to play games, causes more people to go into retail stores and buy games, causes retailers to dedicate more shelf space to the category, and causes game developers and publishers to have a better macroeconomic foundation for their business, that's a win-win for everybody, best of all for the end consumer. It's a virtuous cycle."
When asked if he could equally recognise the success that Microsoft has had, Harrison said, "It would be churlish to try and suggest that you would wish ill on any company, because as I said, if the business has got a lot of momentum and it's aggressively acquiring new users, new forms of creativity are being accepted in the marketplace and the kind of games that we can make as creators gets wider, that's a great thing from a game designer point of view, from a game creating organization.
"That's incredibly empowering because it means that people's minds are more open to new challenges. In the 16-bit and the 8-bit era on 8-bit Nintendo and 16-bit Genesis and Nintendo, it was all about 2D platformers, some sports and that was it. And that's a pretty boring place to be."

The previously hinted Wii version of Samba de Amigo looks like a dead certainty after the official US Nintendo magazine legitimises rumours with new details.
Sega have remained tight-lipped on rumours of the much-loved Sega rhythm action game coming to Wii, after a frenzy sparked from a listing on a retailer website.
But according to Nintendo Power, the game's on its way "some time next year".
Apparently in development at Gearbox Software (Brothers in Arms developers), the game will feature both new songs and favourites from the Dreamcast original, and will use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk in replacement of the original maracas.
Once again, Sega remains quiet on the seemingly immanent sequel, but we'll be having further words soon.

Paint by DS producer Jason Harman reckons a similar title could be a possibility for the Wii, although the lack of physical contact might prove to be a burden.
But not to worry, he said smilingly, "The Wii version could include other painting media such as a spray paint can and a roller."
Paint by DS is "a digital colouring book" that challenges you to recreate masterpieces by renowned painters like Cezanne and that one who chopped his ear off. You use the stylus to mix up oil and water-based paints to the right shade and consistency, then slop them around the screen in a paint-by-numbers fashion.
It sounds simple, but Harman is confident Paint by DS can teach us valuable lessons that will help us better understand the world of clever pictures we know as art.
"Not only will your basic understanding of painting be improved, but some of the finer nuances of artistry will have to be used to create your masterpiece," Harman told Eurogamer.
"From mixing paints to creating different colours, or using a pencil or paintbrush on its side for creative art and blending multiple colours - they all add to making Paint by DS an educational as well as relaxing and entertaining game."
There are around 15 colouring-in challenges to complete in total - some tricky enough to tax even the most skilful virtual painter - plus a flurry of mini-games based on famous pictures to distract you. Each masterpiece will take around an hour to do, apparently.
Paint by DS is part of the Zen series of titles from Mercury Games, so called because they are designed to relax as well as stimulate the old thinker. Perfect for a train journey home from work, for instance.
Those announced so far are Aquarium by DS, Fantasy Aquarium by DS, and Match Stick Puzzle by DS. There's more to come soon, too.
Atari will be distributing Paint by DS in the UK on 26th October.

Nintendo-Scene is pleased to announce that the WiiTracker now has a pool over over 1,000 unique serial numbers that is uses to track Wii hardware data. Not only do we have a massive pool of data to pull from but that data has helped over 80,000 people who have used the search page to determine what is inside their console.
For those of you who don't know what the WiiTracker is: the WiiTracker is a database that contains Wii serial numbers and information about the specific hardware that Wii contains. Through the tracker you can enter a serial number of any Wii console and the system will give you an estimate of what hardware is inside based on similar serial numbers and manufacturing trends. This allows you to know what is inside your Wii without even opening it. In addition to the estimate, the data provides an excellent base for the creation of charts and graphs to map out hardware trends in Wii production.

News/release from Birslip:
Good evening, a few weeks ago, I discovered this play. The concept is very simple, the history even more. A kind of Merlin Echanteur démene to prevent that its castle with him is invades by robots. This small play is adapted perfectly to the DS, what could be more natural than to draw incongruous forms on a screen of a few centimetres broad? It is thus yesterday evening, between the dinner and the douzes blows of midnight that I undertook the remake of this play on Nintendo DS. Helping PAlib, here me is this evening with a version functional. Music, graphics and other detections of forms function in truth. The only lack is the recording of the scores by WiFi, which will not delay (can be only if in fact). Therefore, this evening I places at the disposal this mini play. With regard to the authorizations, I have any on behalf of the Nitrome studio, to tell the truth I of it did not ask, there I just carried out this bearing to laugh, and to be able to play on DS!
Addendum: I am not responsible at all owing to the fact that you have problems to draw certain forms… But I tested and made tested, normally the pattern recognition goes to the hair. If you appercevez a bug, do not hesitate to bring it back!

Brunni has released a new emulator for the DS, heres the details:
Hello everyone
I launched out in one moved GB for the NDS, while leaving on DSBoy. I know that at the base it was not terrible (and especially ultra slow), but I tried to better do my.
There was already some releases deprived before that, chancune making improvements in general at the level speed and returned.
23.09.2007: Version 0.4, Improved thoroughly the speed of the CPU core thanks to the direct translation of the PC (to avoid to have to say for example yew addresses between 0x0000 and 0x2000 Romanian return [addresses] etc to each instruction). More various modifications in the structure of the core to accelerate. One can return to the menu of selection of ROMs with L+R but that does not go well (often that plants or slows down with the launching of the next play).
