We are going thru all our e-mails that we have received the past 2 years, and checking all the links on the site etc., to try to make sure we are completely updated.
Over these 2 years, a handful of people have mailed asking about a download for Dragon BASIC 1.4.5. Unfortunately many websites of GBA developers have disappeared over the last few years, including the one for Dragon BASIC.
We have therefore tracked down a copy of the original file and are now hosting it right here on gbadev.org! Click here to download it!

png2gba is a python script, that generates header data for gba sprites, similar to pcx2gba.
I wrote this, because pcx2gba isnt available for GNU/Linux. In addition png2gba can convert more then one file at once, so nobody has to stumble upon palette issues. Im afraid there is no support for transparency at the moment, but it will be available soon.
Download: png2gba.zip

Nintendo is deploying a new update for its 3DS, probably to assert once again the struggle against the linkers.
The only new significant and that it is no longer necessary to dial the code to perform a parental update , one wonders why ...
We can therefore say that you wait and wait several returns before this update.

Quake Rev PAK is a collection of gaming engines, related to the Quakeseries of games by id Software, modified to run on the Nintendo Wii, using the popular devkitPPC toolchain for homebrew development.
Release 4 is out!
Relevant changes include:
- New GX-accelerated builds of Q2Rev and Q2CTFRev.
- Support for the official Quake and Quake II Mission Packs, now available in the Quake Rev PAK launcher.
- Lots of bug fixes, including an embarrasing one where left & right sound channels were inverted (oops!)
- Fixed a problem with Quake II savegame files, which were not compatible between releases. Starting from Release 4, all new savegame files will work as expected.
- Also starting from this release, it will be required that the game data folders be located inside folders called "Q1" and "Q2" at the engines folder level. This will help having Quake and Quake II data separated, and thus be able to play the "rogue" Mission Packs (Dissolution of Eternity, Ground Zero).
NOTICE: The config.cfg data generated by previous releases of the Q2Rev and Q2CTFRev engines might contain invalid data. It is recommended that you delete them before playing the Quake II games. The engines will recreate the config.cfg files when they are not found.

The graphics of the Wii U version of Darksiders 2 are "at least as good" as the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions', developer Vigil has said.Game companies and developers are under strict orders not to discuss the Wii U in detail publicly, a directive that has led to speculation about the horsepower of Nintendo's Wi successor. Indeed one report from earlier this year claimed the Wii U was "not as capable" as the PS3 and Xbox 360.But with final developer kits now with engineers, and Nintendo just two weeks away from unveiling the final version of the hardware at E3, Vigil has insisted Wii U owners will see visual parity when it comes to multiplatform games."The visuals will be the same," associate producer Jay Fitzloff told Eurogamer. "It's still a work in progress. But I know, at least as good is the way to say it."In July last Vigil told Eurogamer it spent just five weeks in the run up to E3 2011 creating a working version of the action adventure game on Wii U. Then, Vigil said the Wii U had "plenty of horsepower", "so we're not going to have to make any visual concessions at all".At that time developers were working off of second generation Wii U dev kits - early versions of the console - and its horsepower was in flux. Then, game director Marvin Donald said, "If the Wii U turns out to be this ridiculously powerful machine, we will probably make changes to our budget and scope to take advantage of that." This hasn't happened."[Getting Darksiders 2 working on Wii U] is not as challenging as you might think," Fitzloff said. "Getting it working was not any issue on the Wii U. It's just the control scheme. It's new territory. It's a new frontier. The Wii, after a while, there's a lot you could have done with the Wii controls, but everybody kind of got into a groove, and it became, here's how you handle this or here's how you handle this. Now it's the wild frontier. There's no set system. You've got to think outside the box because there's no precedent."It's not getting the game working on the system. It's getting a cool control system that feels correct. And that's where we're at now."Vigil was even able to quickly get Darksiders 2 running with the Wii U controller, which can stream gameplay from the console."When we first got it up and running, you can have the game download to and run on the pad, and everybody was like, that could take a while, little worried," Fitzloff explained. "It took a programmer two lines of code and five minutes. Working with it is not difficult."Darksiders 2 will use the Wii U controller in obvious ways - for inventory and map use - but the impact of these "no brainers" on gameplay is, according to Fitzloff, huge."Any game would have their inventory on the controller screen," he said. "But even that little simple thing is a big difference because you never have to stop the game on the main screen. That will change people's perceptions because you've never had a game where you didn't have to."They take you out [of the experience], whereas this just goes."He added: "And you're talking about the low hanging fruit. You're talking about the easy stuff. The rest of it is where the challenge comes in. What do we do beyond that that makes it feel natural and integral?"One developer working on Wii U, who wished to remain anonymous, told Eurogamer Wii U ports will at best look as good as PS3 and Xbox 360 games. However, he indicated gamers will only see its true graphics capabilities with games built from the ground up for Wii U later in its life cycle.For its part, Nintendo has said its focus with the Wii U is gameplay, not graphics. "We do not focus on technology specs," Nintendo said in March of this year. "We understand that people like to dissect graphics and processing power, but the experience of playing will always be more important than raw numbers."

Nintendo hits major milestone with 3DS sales figures
[h=3]Nintendo[/h]www.nintendo-europe.com
Nintendo's 3DS continues to post up big numbers, and according to Famitsu the 3DS has finally surpassed 6 million units sold in Japan. Nintendo has been on a sales spree lately, thanks in part to some proper titles for the 3D handheld device.
A rousing sales drive for holiday 2011 and consumers rejecting the PS Vita (especially in Japan) means that Nintendo's launch gaffes have been all but forgotten.
Officially putting the tally at 6,017,206 units, Nintendo in Japan is not the only one making headway. Sales for the device in the UK are also about to reach a milestone, as Nintendo believes the device will finally surpass 1 million units next month.
3DS has sold over 17 million worldwide; by contrast, the global sales total for Vita thus far stands at a mere 1.8 million.

Spain to award Shigeru Miyamoto Prince of Asturias Award for his work in gaming
Organizers for the annual Prince of Asturias Awards have bestowed recognition to an unlikely recipient for works in scientific, technical, cultural, social and humanistic works: Nintendo designer and Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto. Miyamoto has been recognized for his creation of several of the most well recognized characters in gaming as well as mainstream culture. His award will be in the "Communications and Humanities" category.
The award, which has been earned by such organizations as CNN and Google, as well as author Umberto Eco, is celebrating Miyamoto's commitment to game creation with a family and creative twist. The Awards organizers recognized that games such as Zelda, Mario and Donkey Kong have been designed not simply to create a positive gaming environment, but that Miyamoto was "the main architect of the revolution in teaching, educational and constructive video games."
For his contribution to gaming and the world abroad, Miyamoto will receive a diploma with the Prince of Asturias Foundation's coat of arms, as well as a sculpture and cash prize of €50,000 ($63,215).
