News via http://dsx86.patrickaalto.com/DSblog.html
This is not version 0.26, but version 0.30! I decided to jump the version number, as this version has such a major change. This version emulates a 80286 processor, instead of the 80186 processor that all previous versions have emulated. The list of changes in this version is as follows:
80286 protected mode support! This means that Windows 3.00a can run in Standard Mode, having over 800KB of RAM (in DS Lite mode) or over 8MB of RAM (in DSi mode) available. DSx86 is one of the GBATemp Homebrew Bounty entries in the DSi category, and this version is the "significant update" that in my opinion fulfills the competition requirements.
Improved the MCGA Smooth scaling mode efficiency, based on the ideas described in the Quick Colour Averaging article by Thiadmer Riemersma.
Implemented preliminary Smooth scaling option for 640x200 EGA mode. This mode is used by the Silpheed game, for example.
Here below are some screen copies from the latest version, showing the Windows 3.00a About dialog in DS Lite and DSi mode, and two screen copies showing the result of the EGA 640x200 mode Smooth scaling.
Please test this new DSx86 version, as I might have broken some games with the extensive internal changes I had to do for protected mode support. Also feel free to test various 16-bit Windows games, many of those should now run (as long as they don't try to use some 386 processor features).
Next, I think I will get back to working on DS2x86. I would like to get started on the proper audio support for DS2x86 in the near future, so I'll probably look into that, along with trying to fix some bugs and test some misbehaving games. Thanks again for your continued interest in DSx86 and DS2x86!

[Tijmen Verhulsdonck] built his own version of a Wii remote-controlled balancing robot. He drew his inspiration from the SegWii, which was built by [Ara Kourchians].
The body is built using one of our preferred fabrication methods; threaded rod makes up a rail system, with three sheets of hard board serving as a mounting structure for the motors, electronics, and battery. This does away with the 9V batteries used on the original SegWii, opting for a very powerful lithium battery perched on the highest part of the assembly. It uses an Arduino as the main microcontroller. That detects roll, pitch, and tilt of the body by reading data from a Sparkfun IMU 5 board (we’re pretty sure it’s this one). Check out the videos after the break. The first demonstrates the robot balancing on its own, then a Wii remote is connected via Bluetooth and [Tijmen] drives it around the room by tilting the controller. The second video covers the components that went into the build.
This is impressive work for a 17-year-old. [Tijmen] lists his material cost at $800 but since he’s Dutch this might not be a USD currency.

Lavalit have released a new SVN build of Openbor for the Dreamcast, Wii, Wiz, GP2X, Dingoo, PC, Linux and PSP
OpenBOR
----------------------
OpenBOR is a continuation of the Beats Of Rage 2D game engine, which was originally
created by the wonderful folks over at http://www.senileteam.com.
History
----------------------
In 2004, Senile Team released Beats of Rage, a free beat-'em-up for DOS inspired
by SEGA's Streets of Rage series and using sprites from SNK Playmore's King of
Fighters series. The game spread only by word of mouth, but it nonetheless
amassed popularity very quickly. Senile Team soon released an edit pack allowing
anyone interested to create a mod for the BOR engine.
In 2005, Kirby2000 asked Senile Team to open the source code to BOR. They
agreed, and OpenBOR was born. Development on the engine was continued by the
community, and still is to this day.
r3330 | damon_caskey | 2011-04-05 16:54:55 -0400 (Tue, 05 Apr 2011) | 3 lines

M /engine/openbor.h
M /engine/openborscript.c

blitter has released a real-time dithering library for the Virtual Boy.
Quote:This is a column-based rendering library that uses a fast algorithm for real-time dithering using a predefined table of patterns.
It relies on drawing directly to the framebuffer using the movbsu instruction. As such, it does not run well on older/abandoned emulators such as Red Dragon or ViBE.
More information, downloads and discussion can be found in our forum in this thread.

After 3 months of finding data and modifying it for the hack, I have brought to you my first completed hack ever; Super Soccer Euro Edition. Most things are changed, including the player’s stats, the team’s stats, the team’s music and the palettes to suit each team.
You can play from 16 teams, starting with the highest ranked: Spain, Holland, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Ukraine, Croatia, Slovenia, England, Serbia, France, Sweden, Greece, Denmark, Switzerland and finally Luxembourg.
After you beat those teams, you will go against one more team which is tougher than Nintendo to become the top champion.

 Namco Bandai sent out new screenshots of the two new games in Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions: "Pac-Man Tilt" and "Galaga 3D Impact." We've placed the screens in separate galleries in case, for some reason, you have trouble distinguishing Pac-Man from Galaga.
The 3DS collection, which also includes the original Pac-Man and Galaga arcade games, along with Championship Edition and Galaga Legions, will be released this summer in North America. You have plenty of time to stare at these screenshots and decide whether these two games look interesting enough for you to risk being seen waving your 3DS around like an idiot.

 Series creator Yuji Horii announced Dragon Quest X, in development for Wii, at a press conference in December 2008. And that was the last anyone heard about it until the April 2011 issue of Nintendo Power. The subject came up in an interview feature about "Dragon Quest through the Ages," when Horii stated that it's nearing completion.
"All we can say is that development is going well and we're on the last parts of the game," Horii said. "We can't really share much else at this point, but by the end of this year we should be able to announce something regarding it."
Horii explained that the move to Wii was motivated by his feeling that "some users will want to play Dragon Quest on the big screen," noting that the choice of platform, including the decision to put a particular game on a handheld system, is "really a case-by-case basis." He also said that the team hears "that players want a new Dragon Quest that follows the same system of Dragon Quest VIII, so that's something else we're taking into consideration while in development of a Dragon Quest for Wii."

In late January, Nintendo of Japan launched a teaser site for "Pandora's Tower," a (total) mystery Wii game said to be near completion -- no kidding! The site was updated today with a trailer (which has also been released on the Wii's "Everyone's Nintendo Channel" in Japan), revealing a release date of May 26, 2011. See for yourself after the break.
So, what is Pandora's Tower? According to a preview in the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu(via Andriasang), this straightforward-looking if not melodramatic action RPG assigns the young hero, Ende, with the absolutely morbid task of de-fleshing enough beasts to end a curse suffered by the lovely singer Ceres -- who's supposed to be gracing the harvest festival! Ende must butcher these foul creatures (in a colorful cartoon-style suitable for ages 15 and up) throughout a series of twelve towers before the curse consumes Ceres.
Pandora's Tower has been developed by Ganbarion, best known for its pair of Jump StarsDS fighting games in Japan

 Now this sounds familiar. Majesco just announced that it's publishing an augmented-reality game for a Nintendo handheld, to be released around Halloween, that allows you to search for ghostly phenomena in your environment using the system's camera.
No, it's not the DSi game Ghostwire, whose developer is still seeking a publisher after splitting with Majesco. The new game is The Hidden, created by 1st Playable Productions, and coming this October to 3DS.
The Hidden puts the player in the role of a member of the Ghostly Entity Investigation and Strike Team (G.E.I.S.T.), hunting around the real world to find spectral creatures, and then "using a full arsenal of high tech tools and upgradeable weapons, including the Plasmatic Disruptor, Ectoplasm Sensor and Spectral Shield" to defeat them.

There are console mods and there are console mods... and then there's this -- a completely custom Nintendo Wii built from steel and cooled by two liquid-filled containers that would look more at home in a mad scientist's laboratory. Not surprisingly, this mod took a long time to complete. Bit-tech forum member Angel OD began the so-called "UNLimited Edition" project way back in December, 2009 and, after a few diversions, finally finished it this past weekend. Be sure to hit up the links below for a look at the complete build process, and a few more shots of the finished product.
