ThatOtherDev offers version 1.0 of " Tick Tock Race Car "racing game where you must wear the 3 rounds as quickly as possible in an environment destructible.
Here is the long overdue Wii port of my game Tick Tock Car Race. For anyone unfamiliar with it Tick Tock Car Race is a time based (you aren’t competing against anyone your goal is just to get as low a time as possible) racing game with destructible walls.
When navigating the menus you point with the wiimote and use the A button. But when actually playing the game you should hold the controller sideways like an NES controller. Use the 1 button to go in reverse, the 2 button to accelerate, the B button to use turbo (which will make you go even faster and allow you to smash through walls) and use the directional pad to turn left or right.
The camera zoom, camera rotation and the vignetting overlay are turned off by default now but if you want to activate them then you can still do so in the options menu. No matter what you do though there will however not be any tire tracks. Aside from that it is the exact same game as it was on PC.

relminator provides an update of " Easy GL2D DS 'graphics library C + + to develop games for the Nintendo DS.
Notice:
* glColorTable() has been deprecated since the release of libnds 1.5.0.
Because of the it, stencil effects are not possible w/o some hacks so I just disabled it altogether. However, rendering sprites in any palette is a lot easier now since palettes are automatically managed by libnds.
* You also need to tell libnds what VRAM bank you want allocate for
texture palettes. See the example files.
Update 02/17/2011
* Code overhaul for libnds 1.5.0 compatibility
* Added 2 parameters to glSpriteLoad() and glSpriteLoad()
* Fixed the examples to reflect changes
* Doxygen generated reference
* Bug fixes(reported by Enay, Mhaun, Alex Sinclair, etc)

News via http://www.ds-scene.net/?s=viewtopic&nid=10586
Long-time DS-Scene member Foxi4 has created a new stopwatch application for the DS. It's in an early stage still, but it looks really nice already!
Foxi4 The name says it all - it's a stopwatch.
Why make one? Well, usually when you have a digital stopwatch, you have access to a few functions: the time, the date and the stopwatch itself, but you can only use one function at a time. Not only that, but most stopwatches have a limit of 5 lap times! Another problem with traditional stopwatches is that sometimes you can accidentally press the reset button and loose all your lap times.
This stopwatch shows you everything - the date, the current time, total time of all laps and up to 48 laps on the top screen! The reset function locks itself when the stopwatch is in-use, so you'll never loose your lap times again. It's easy-to-use for anyone and it has a nice "tick" to it.
[...]
Future plans regarding the project:
* Miliseconds support
* Counting the time difference between laps
* Nicer graphical GUI, hopefuly with an "analog" watch face and watch hands in addition to the digital display

News via http://gbatemp.net/t279629-mooncalc-0-1-beta
Moonlight, maker of the popular DS application Moonshell, has released a new calculator homebrew for the DS called MoonCalc. For more information, please join the on-going conversation via the link below.
QUOTE(02/16/11)
I created a calculator without effort. Copy mooncalc folder to your MicroSD then execute MoonCalc.nds.
You can input only in dec form(no bin/hex input), so this isn't so useful.
Launching from other than MoonShell ver 2.10 stable Zwai edition might cause no sound.
You can check mooncalc version by opening preference (by clicking the gray box or pressing SELECT) and seeing the upper right (in lower screen) ver x.xx
I got bored so perhaps there won't be an update unless a fatal bug.

[NeoTenchi] wrote in to share the new game peripheral he built, dubbed the NES Paul. The ultimate goal of the project was to build a NES-styled controller for an upcoming game he is working on, tentatively titled 8-bit Hero. The guitar is constructed primarily from wood, as well as some scrounged bits he had around the house. An Xbox 360 controller was dismantled and wired to provide input for the guitar’s buttons and D-Pad. Even the Xbox controller’s rumble packs were used in order to provide visual feedback of missed notes via LED tuning pegs on the guitar’s headstock.
The writeup is broken into several pieces as it was put together in a handful of Google Buzz posts, but it is still relatively easy to follow. We can’t wait to see how the project comes together once the game portion has been completed.

The wireless controller for the Nintendo Wii has been used in many a hack due to its simple to use Bluetooth interface. The nunchuck portion of the controller however, has always required a physical tether to the wireless controller, or an aftermarket wireless dongle. [Rousselmanu] is looking to change that with his Bluetooth-enabled wireless Wii nunchuck. He is able to retrieve a slew of data from the nunchuck, including information from all of the accelerometers, buttons, as well as the joystick. The data is read into a PIC MCU and relayed via serial to a Bluetooth module he purchased online.
The Bluetooth module looks fairly easy to interface in Linux, and [Rousselmanu] has a video showing off how well the nunchuck can be used to interact with 3D models. He admits that the controller is a bit ugly at the moment as all the components don’t quite fit so well, but future revisions will surely remedy that.
Keep reading to see a video of the nunchuck in action.

Despite our increasingly online-enabled world and the rise of digitally distributed games, Nintendo has insisted physical media is here to stay.
"We have been very clearly communicating for a long time that the packaged software or retail market is the one that's going to drive the mass market," Nintendo of Europe's MD of marketing and PR, Laurent Fischer told Edge.
"We have never seen any link between growth in the mobile gaming market and decrease in the normal software market. It's two different markets, two different topics. We couldn't find any evidence of those two markets being linked."
Fischer's comments echo those from Sony Computer Entertainment boss Kaz Hirai, who in August last year insisted that a digital future is over 10 years away.
"We do business in parts of the world where network infrastructure isn't as robust as one would hope," Hirai said.
"There's always going to be requirement for a business of our size and scope to have a physical medium.
"To think everything will be downloaded in two years, three years or even 10 years from now is taking it a little bit to the extreme."
Last July saw a watershed moment in the rise of digitally distributed games, when NPD revealed that US PC game digital downloads were reaching parity with in-store.
And in October Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick predicted that in three years' time 40 per cent of the Grand Theft Auto company's sales will be digitally distributed titles.
For Nintendo's Fischer, though, it's all about the high street.
"People who talk about the end of physical media don't share the same daily reality as most consumers," he said.

A new Nintendo home console could be on the way, judging by comments made by THQ boss Brian Farrell.
Speaking at an investor conference yesterday, as reported by CVG, Farrell stated that he didn't expect new hardware from Microsoft or Sony in the near future, but conspicuously left Nintendo out of the equation.
"It used to be that investors would play the console cycles," he explained. "A new console would mean a period of hyper growth in the industry.
"Now that game costs have gone up so much, these cycles have gotten longer, so it's harder to understand how to play the console cycle. We don't expect new hardware any time soon from either Microsoft or Sony. It's difficult on Nintendo - we'll let them announce their new hardware."
"What we like about now is we've put most of our capital behind the 360 and PS3 for the next couple of years and that's where we think the action's going to be."
This isn't the first time we've heard whispers regarding a Wii successor. Back in November, Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata said, "We are of course studying and developing the next console to Wii.
"However, there is a big difference between studying a product and announcing what it is and when we will release it.
"I am afraid to say that the history of entertainment is also the history of imitation. A great idea will promptly be copied unless protected through patents.
"At the same time, it is really important for our business to positively surprise people. Will you be surprised by our completed product if we told you how it is surprising three years in advance?"
Then a month later, Nintendo US chief Reggie Fils-Aime suggested that there would be no new Nintendo home console until the Wii had sold 45 million units in the US.
Of course, Farrell could just be speculating, but you'd best keep an eye on Nintendo's E3 conference in June, just in case.

News via http://emulatemii.com/wordpress/?p=388
Well, it’s been a while since our last blog post and real life has been hectic for all of the Wii64 Team, but that doesn’t mean that we’ve been idle. There are some exciting developments behind the scenes that you can all look forward to. Something that we’ve really been looking forward to is porting a second video plugin to GC/Wii. Rice’s video plugin offers better speed, support for some ucodes that are missing in glN64, and support for community-made texture packs. We’ve been hard at work porting this plugin to Wii64, and we’ve got a couple preliminary screenies for you to enjoy below.
Tehpola has also started a rewrite of the dynarec with the goal of making it simpler, so that we will be able to more easily squash bugs and improve compatibility. In the process of making improvements to the dynarec for Beta 1.1 “Honey”, it become increasingly apparent that the dynarec was becoming too complex to debug and difficult to optimize. By starting from scratch, we are also ripping out other unnecessary parts of the mupen64 core to optimize for memory and, later, speed. This is a more long-term project, though, so you probably won’t see the new dynarec until sometime after our next release.
If any of you have been watching the commit log to pcsx-reloaded, then you have got to be as excited as we are for the bright future of open-source PSX emulation. If you haven’t been keeping track, then you can still be excited about the next WiiSX beta, which will incorporate many of the accuracy and speed improvements from upstream in pcsx-r’s repo.
Finally, there is our secret project which we mentioned last summer. It’s still in the works, but you won’t see it until after the next Wii64/WiiSX betas
