News from Lik Sang
After fitting Magicstor's 4 gigabytes Microdrive into the PSP, through their clever Memory Stick adapter, Datel is moving on multiplying products that make use of the same storage solution for all consoles. Hot on the heels of the successful and popular 4GB Hard Drive for the PSP, Datel is trying indeed to expand their range to the Xbox 360, as we were reporting a couple of weeks ago, and now, more excitingly, to the Nintendo DS too!
Immediately posing as serious competition for the NDS/GBA Movie Player and for Nintendo's Play-Yan, Datel's 4GB Max Media Player will feature playback features for various types of files, video or audio. You will be able to watch your movies, browse through your pictures and listen to your songs on the Nintendo DS thanks to this new converter, same as you can do using the two products mentioned above for a very long time already. Where the new device from Datel differs from the previously released add-ons is in the memory solution it relies on (built-in hard drive instead of exchangeable compact flash or SD cards, that respectively Movie Player and Play-Yan were making use of), and in the fact that the main software slots in through the actual Nintendo DS cart port rather than via the GBA connector. We hope that this will allow new display options and more features that were not possible with its two predecessors, but in order to check that out, we will need an evaluation sample of the 4GB Max Media Player to be in our mits. We are trying to score one from our mates at Datel while you are reading this, stay tuned for our hands-on report as soon as the first prototype reaches our desk.
Preorders are written down for 179 US$, and release date is poised to be March 2006. This is our final price for the product, after cross-checking earlier information with Datel directly.

Bringing the traditionally PC-centric football management genre to consoles has always been a tricky task. Rapid menu navigation has never lent itself well to console joypads, and finding an effective console interface has been a constant hurdle for developers. However, veteran management dev Sports Interactive has created an intuitive interface with Football Manager '06 on Xbox 360, but, as it also shifts gaze to the potential of Nintendo's Revolution innovation, it spies plenty of new interface opportunities.
In an interview with CVG, SI's managing director Miles Jacobson has revealed his ideas for a Football Manager on Revolution. While he's admitted that the company doesn't have development kits for the system, he's said that he's keen to check out Nintendo's new console. "We will happily evaluate any platform to see if the game [Football Manager] can be done on it," he explained. "If Nintendo ever want to talk to us they know where we are."
Jacobson then shared some creative spark with us, on what could well turn out to be Football Manager Revolution. "It'd be quite interesting though, you could use the controller as something to tell the players off at half-time," he suggested, "wagging it at the screen could mean they've been bad and making a tick could mean they've been good." He then quickly expressed his satisfaction with the Xbox 360 interface: "You could use [the Revolution controller] as a cursor but we're very happy with the control system on the 360."

Looks like the PSP isn't the only portable gaming device in town to get a Datel MAX 4GB hard drive attachment ; the same sickos who brought our already hefty PlayStation Portable to a near unbearable size have whipped up the MAX Media Player for the Nintendo DS, which turns those empty GBA and DS game slots in your portable into some sort of multimedia monster. We're still waiting to find out exactly which codecs it supports, but what we're more concerned about is how well this thing's going to work in our DS Lite (whenever we actually wind up getting one of those).

New Keyboard app, heres the info:
"Ever since I saw Ferris Bueller's day off (IMDB) I wanted to have a sampling keyboard, but these things were always too expensive for me. So, as a first coding experiment with my Nintendo DS, I coded a software sampling keyboard that uses the DS's microphone and touchscreen. It's still pretty basic, but I think it's already quite funny to use. So, feel free to try it out and please give me bug reports and feature requests.
News!
The new version 1.1 is out! I figured out what the various problems with microphone quality were and fixed them So now, sound quality and volume are vastly improved!
Sorry for the huge delay and sorry for not adding new features. Several people had great ideas on how to make this program much cooler. I'm kind of working on these, but for another project, that is soon to be released. After that, a new sampling keyboard will come. Please be patient :-)"

As many of you are probably already aware, I am making an Organizer Suite for the DS, aptly named DSOrganize. Although it is still in early beta, it is quite usable. Current features include:
Calendar mode with editable reminders.
Day Planner mode with editable time slots.
Address Book with vCard support. Currently this can read and write back .vcf files that can be used in Apple's Adress Book, Outlook in Windows, and probably plenty of other apps in Linux. It does not, however, preserve data that it doesn't support, as currently there is a bug I can't trace in this routine.
INI file settings, with a configuration screen in the app.
Handwriting recognition. Just start a glyph on an empty part of the screen. View the alphabet below for information.
Multiple language support, see Sample.lng for usage. Dutch translation maintained by bLAStY and dsboi.
Fixes in this release include:
Fixed a bug with Edit DayView displaying wrong edit times.
Fixed the bug where DayView randomly lost entries (again).
Added 12/24 hour time and first/last name swap options.
Fixed special characters on the address display font.
Fixed cursor jumping back to current time when you cancel an edit on DayView and Address View.
The handwriting recognition is not nearly 100% done. Also, the app currently only works when the DSOrganize directory is on the root of the card. I will be fixing this as time goes on, but for now it stays like this. The last tested release is reported to work on GBAMP, SC SD, M3 CF. Please continue to test each release I put out for compatibility, especially since chishm just put out a new FAT lib. I am aware of the slow calendar load time on SC SD and the random crashes some people are experiencing with the SC. I think this is due to the nature of the driver being beta right now. I haven't seen this behavior at all when testing on GBAMP.

thechuckster has released a new version of Stella DS. It's a port of the Atari 2600 emulator Stella to the Nintendo DS.
Heres whats new:
I compiled in the latest version of chism's FAT library. Now StellaDS should support more devices such as the Supercard SD. Tweaked the menu to allow wraparound. Began using Subversion to manage my source code under the suggestion of StoneCydh from #dsdev.

Revolution game announcements are steadily picking up pace as the videogame world waits with baited breath for Nintendo's impending grand unveiling, and the latest title confirmed for the wand-'o-matic hails from Blitz Games.
Unfortunately Blitz Games, based in the UK, isn't saying a fat lot about its Revolution game at the moment. All the details it's willing to spill at this stage are that it's signed the title up and it'll "be announced shortly by a major publisher." So, erm, keep eyes peeled for an announcement, coming soon. Ho-hum.
Still, Andrew Oliver, co-founder and development director at Blitz Games, was willing to express general feelings about Nintendo's new console. He's said the developer is "genuinely very excited to be working on the Revolution", adding: "Nintendo's innovation over the years has trail blazed new concepts and the new controller is no exception. It will give people new ways to play existing genres but moreover we hope it will spawn altogether new gaming experiences."

With its two usable screens and handy touch-screen interface we're surprised that a Nintendo DS web browser is yet to hit the scene. By the looks of it though, Nintendo's vice president of sales and marketing, Reggie Fils-Aime, is just as surprised at this omission as we are - and plans to do something about it.
Speaking to American games mag EGM, the Fiks-Aime explained, "We thought a licensee (third party) was getting into that area, and once we heard that we backed off", adding that Nintendo might develop the DS web browser itself. "If we end up seeing that nobody's really going to enter that space, it may be something that we'll go back and look at. I know that Mr. Iwata has talked about it."
With 860,000 people now battling it out on Nintendo's Wi-fi Connection service, we're sure that a fair few DS owners would be interested in some touch-screen web browsing. Expect more news as it comes.

REminiscence is a rewrite of the engine used in the game Flashback from Delphine Software. This program is designed as a cross-platform replacement for the original executable and uses the SDL library. Original version by Gregory Montoir, cyx@users.sourceforge.net - http://membres.lycos.fr/cyxdown/reminiscence/
Copy the original dos data files into the romdisk/Data directory and run the createromdisk.bat which will create the romdiskfs and append it to the end of the nds and ds.gba binaries.
Still needs support for sound in my SDL library, so no sound in this release.
Has been tested on the superdisk and m3 and should work with any flashcard that supports appended filesystems, its not compatible with the gbamp though, I still need one for testing if anyone has one to send me or wants to buy me one
Enjoy,
Troy Davis(GPF)

Game Daily has posted their pics for the nine most obscure N64 games they feel should grace the download service on Nintendo's forthcoming Revolution console. From the article: "Some of [N64's] games actually changed the entire industry which is why we're more than willing to sit down with our shiny new Revolution consoles and download lots of great N64 titles, and while we're pretty sure that Nintendo will give us the goods when it comes to Star Fox 64 and Mario Kart, there [are] plenty of obscure games that we'd like to play... These games may not be as popular as Ocarina, but they deserve their spot amongst the greats."
Jet Force Gemini
Space Station Silicon Valley
Beetle Adventure Racing
Blast Corps
Sin and Punishment
Pilotwings 64
The New Tetris
Wetrix

Nintendo has declined to update the release status of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess since announcing that the title would be delayed into 2006, but according to TVG, Best Buy recently informed pre-orderers that the game will not ship until November—at the earliest. Gulp.
If true, we can expect to see Twilight Princess debuting alongside the Nintendo Revolution, as many have speculated would be the case all along. A current-gen title the killer launch app for a next-gen console? Hey, if there's a company that's gonna pull it off, its name's Nintendo.
