News via http://zalods.blogspot.com/
Althought I haven't been posting too much during this and last year I have been still working on something from time to time (not as much as I used to). Lots of improvements were added to the engine and in the meantine I was thinking that maybe I should create a new game to make some use of them. Well, creating a new game requires time so instead of that I decided to update my Rokoban using all these features. I also had the chance on one of my jobs to work pretty close to 3D max (as a tools programmer) which gave me the opportunity to learn lots of things about the program. That's why I decided to create also a new model for Roko, the main character.
I finished this version on December last year but I forgot to upload it. Well, not really. I didn't forgot I was just too lazy to do it. These are the new features added:
- New set of graphics for Wii and PC (I think the DS graphics were ok for the ds, but looked lame on my PC)
- Savegames (so now when you complete a level Rokoban will keep a record of it)
- Music and sound (finally, woo hoo!)
- Some memory leaks fixed
If you pay attention to the new character you'll see animation blending, skinning, texture animation in action  Some other stuff I have been working on is not visible on the game. I have now a lot of debugging information that helps me a lot when I run the app in one of the platforms and I just receive a black screen (mainly asserts and memory leak detectors).

The open-source Arduino electronics platform has received a ton of attention from the hardware enthusiast community. And one more follower is joining the fray — Mario himself. The mustachioed plumber of console video game fame has been converted into an eight-by-eight LED matrix by Carnegie Mellon University student Chloe Fan. However, the game isn't quite the Mario you know from your legacy Nintendo Entertainment System. For starters, it's just lights. While one often sees the game's LED-backed grid used in devices like the open-source Monome, where it can function as a push-button toggle for music beats and effects, Fan's version of Mario uses the grid as a display only. Mario — or rather, a one-light representation of the game's hero — is controlled NES-style through the use of two buttons. One button makes Mario move forward; the other makes him leap into the air.

The Lavalit team have released yet another new version of Openbor for the consoles such as PSP, Dreamcast, Dingoo, Wii, Gp2x and Wiz:
OpenBOR
----------------------
OpenBOR is a continuation of Beats Of Rage originally created by the wonderful
folks over at http://www.senileteam.com
History
----------------------
As fans of the 'Streets of Rage' series that originally appeared on the SEGA
megadrive/genesis, we always wanted to see streets of rage 4. But the waiting
proved futile, and streets of rage 4 never came. That's why we tried to correct
this mistake and fill the void by making the ultimate tribute to Streets of Rage:
Beats of Rage!!
Development
----------------------
Beats of Rage was created by Senile Team. However, the character sprites and
some parts of the backgrounds are taken from 'the King of Fighters' games by
SNK Playmore. Therefore special thanks go out to SNK Playmore and SEGA who
unknowingly helped in creating this game.
Beats of Rage and OpenBOR are a free, fully functional game, which includes
music, and features six playable levels plus a bonus level. It is available
for many systems

A real classic is coming to Wii in a few hours. The original version of Castlevania: Rondo of Blood will be available as a Virtual Console download today.
And by “original” we mean “original Japanese version.” This 900 Wii Point ($9) download is an unaltered Virtual Console import. While Konami completed a translation made for the PSP remake, they didn’t use it for the Virtual Console re-release. Few Virtual Console games are updated, but there are Wii games with changes. Nintendo added picture sharing to Pokemon Snap and replaced Kawasaki jet ski ads in Wave Race 64.

Newly released today:
Step into the world of Calling, an all new horror adventure on Wii™ that takes you into the depths of your own imagination and fears.
When tales of "The Black Page" start circling, curiosity gets the best of you. Although "The Black Page" is just an ink black website with an ominous hit counter, rumor has it that if you see "something", you'll die within a matter of time of visiting and you'll be added to the death count. Some say the site is a hoax, a prank, or a marketing ploy, but others say the site is a bridge to something sinister. But you've seen "something" and now you're trapped in "The Black Page," the in-between of life and death. Can you escape from your fate or will you become another number on the death toll?
Using unique Wii controls, you can rummage and explore your environment for clues as you’ve never done before. Pull open drawers, turn and unlock doors with keys, force open doors, or shed some light and explore the dark environments with your flashlight. By searching through the environments carefully, you'll be able to gather new clues and information that will help piece the mystery together. From papers on the ground to cabinets in the rooms, every item may hold the key to your survival. All you can count on is your Wii Remote and your survival instincts, the rest is up to fate.

Here’s another home console made into a portable. [Techknott] built this shiny GameCube handheld. You may remember him from his work on a portable Dreamcast and the wireless Xbox 360 interface. This time around he’s mirrored the finish; a good idea in concept but even his demo images are already plagued by smudges. But if you can keep your digits on the plastic buttons this makes for an eye-catching design. One part that we love is the flip-top screen that hides the optical drive. This is a much better solution than the exposed lens we saw on [Hailrazer's] GC portable.

Heres a new product just released by Neoflash and for fans of the Super Nintendo aka Snes a Dream product.
A Little about the reviewer
Ive been an emulation and homebrew fan for as many years as i can remember (since around 1996 i think) but nothing i repeat nothing is better than playing on the real hardware.
Back in the Megadrive(genesis) and Snes days i owned a Super Wild Card and a Super Double Pro fighter, both cost about 300 pounds and ill admit that it was a great way to play games that i would never have been able to afford or because of stupid region lockouts.
So the day when Neoflash announced they were working on a Flash Cart for the Snes called NEO SNES/SFC Myth cart , i wanted one so badly, the chance to relive the best of the Snes and to play games ive never played was too much of a thrill to behold.
Now i must point out that being a webmaster of a homebrew site makes me no expert, im just as clueless as most newcomers, i like websites and i like posting news, i like to know that if i need a certain release i should be able to find it on my sites (hopefully :P).
First off Heres some screens of the Snes Flash Cart in and out its Packaging:
Front Side View in Packaging
Back Side view in Packaging
The NEO Snes Myth cart and Accesories
Neo Snes Cart in Console
You also get a Mini CD with a load of Drivers on for all Neo Products.
Specs of the N64 Snes Cart
Heres what Neoflash claim it does:
The NEO SNES/SFC Myth cart SPEC v1:
* Support ALL SNES/SFC console,all in one solution
* Support the SNES/SFC rom size up to 64M
* Support all save type
* Support 99.5% SNES/SFC games , and sure, some special game need DXP cart support
* Download games from PC to NEO2 cart directly via USB port
* Upload/restore game save to PC via USB directly
* Multi-CIC support, can use any SNES/SFC cart to boot Neo Myth on you SNES/SFC console
* Support Multi games, can download many games at the same time and swap the game via menu on your TV
* Upgradeable! Support upgrade the SNES/SFC Myth cart CPLD logic core through the NDP upgrade kit
Getting Started
The Snes Flash Cart needs the latest software/drivers to make it work, so first off head on over to the Neoflash Forum to download the latest version of the software, once youve downloaded it (15MB) then click on to install to the directory it wants to, pretty straightforward for anyone.
Clicking on the Neo 2 Ultra Menu Icon (look on your desktop or in new programs) will lead you onto a screen that looks like this:
Now get your Neo Myth Snes Flash Cart and making sure that the cart that says 256M is inserted (or the Neo 2 Card with an SD Card inserted), connect the USB Lead to the Cart and Plugit into your Laptop or PC.
It Should have no problems and automatically find drivers installed when you installed the software above, i had no problems using Windows Vista but with Windows XP Pro SP3 it wouldnt load the drivers properly, i did post a thread at Neoflash and was given instructions on how to fix this. (Try a different USB Lead it may be that, infact the Snes Myth cart does come with a lead that identifies in XP right away but this info is essential should you need any help)
Adding Roms etc
Ok carrying on from the screenshot above if everything went ok youll be able to start the juicy part, first off i did a quick format of the card, it took around 30 seconds to do, so no real biggy.
Next on the list was to Add Roms to the Cart (Homebrew Roms and Emulators can be found at links Below)
Adding Roms is as easy as clicking the add rom button and going to whereever your roms are, i was able to add as many roms as the cart would hold but if your using anything bigger than a 256MB card there may be a limit to how many you can hold, i was able to put 15 games on the cart..
Once you have added the roms you require then click on Snes Burn, depending on how big your roms are will depend on how long it takes to copy to the cart, give it a few minutes, it also verifies each burn.
Now one thing to take into consideration is that if you have a USA Snes, you will need a USA game plugged into the back of the Snes Myth Cart, If you have a Pal Snes youll need a Pal game plugged in.
Onto the Gaming
Ok youve Burnt your games onto the Flash cart and you have the Flash Cart installed in the Snes with the correct region game in the back, now its time to turn on:
When the console turns on
Games ive Tested So Far - all Perfect
Donkey Kong Country
Donkey Kong Country 2
Donkey Kong Country 3
Super Mario World
Plok
Super Mario Collection
Zelda 3
Uniracer
Theme Park
Bubsy
Bubsy 2
Cannon Fodder
Great Circus Mystery
Desert strike
Cool Spot
Alladdin
Super star wars
Over at Neoflash theres a more complete list of whats working and save issues etc.
Conclusion
Today was one of them times when i was took back to the reasons i truly love the homebrew/Emulation scene. The Flash Cart seems easy to use, The adding of roms to the cart is as easy as they come so a big plus factor there and unlike the N64 Cart you can have as many roms as you can fit onto the size of the cart.
Having no drivers and documentation on the CD will make it a little hard for newbies but i would think that most people that are going to buy this are the hardcore Snes fans of old.
On the whole the roms it plays is great, although at the moment theres some work to do on the DSP, Super FX and other special chip Snes Games, the best advice is to own at least 1 of each type of Special Chip game to be fully safe for booting other games. There is work over at Neoflash to maybe emulate the chips so the compatability may be even closer to fully 100%.
The price for the Flash Cart is $169 (around 90 quid) so it will put some people off but to retro collectors/major emulation fans it will be very worth it, if you owned one of the back up systems for the Snes this will be much more preferable as theirs no messing around with ruddy floppy disks that take ages to load and usually knacker up whilst loading. Yes for that price you can buy a heck of a lot of the games but theres some genuine gems that are very hard to trace these days and the homebrew factor makes it worth it for me.
My advice is to those who are tempted is go for it, the flash cart does what you really want it to and thats play Snes, a big thumbs up for Neoflash on this retro cart.
I suppose like everything it depends how big a fan you are and what finances you have to spend on gadgets, for me it does what i want it to and its also seen the re-emergence of a Homebrew scene for the Snes, there are a lot of developers getting their fingers into Snes development and the upcoming Neoflash Coding Contest makes Snes Homebrew exciting again.

BALROG proposes a new homebrew coded with Micro Lua DS, "BigInvading" variant of Space Invaders.
This time, it is a game whose principle is quite similar to that of a "Space Invaders" that I offer.
There are still some differences, starting with the fact that the gameplay is even more simple. Rolling Eyes
Anyway, I'll let you discover the thing, having said everything there is to know (or not Mr. Green) to play on our menu.
On this, good fun!
PS: Beware, these revolutionary graphics could offend sensitive souls. Laughing
Version 0.8:
Major improvements planned for the next version:
-Make the game more fluid / fast at the beginning of the parties (perhaps using the canvas?).
-To other types of enemies.
