A new version of palib has been released, heres the details:
Info:
Because the last 'official' PALib version doesn't work with DevKitPro R25 and newer, some users started to make a version that is compatible with never DevkitPro releases.
- Keep in mind that all those versions are some kind of beta: We cant guarante that everything works right.
----------------------------------------
| PAlib 090801 : We're almost there... |
----------------------------------------
[PAlib] Compiled with libnds 1.3.7.
[DMA_Copy] Now checks if the source is NULL and fills with zeros instead, fixes some no$gba warning-related problems.
[Many #defines] All defines that used the format #define PA_Function() { blah }
has been changed to #define PA_Function() do{ blah }while(0). This makes every #define "safe".
[inline functions] Changed all extern inlines to static inline.
[3D Sprites] Rotation was fixed.
[no$gba] Reverted back to the latest free version (2.6) now that a FIFO-related problem that
was causing this version to not function properly was fixed in libnds.
[Debugging] Added some debugging functions including iDeaS debugging console output and emulator detecting.
[Text system] Updated the default font with the full character set: http://forum.palib.info/index.php?topic=6413.0
[C Standard Library] Now disabling UTF-8 support in the C standard library on startup.
It was causing problems with the string functions and extended ASCII characters.
[Environment variables] The PAPATH variable is no longer needed.
[PAGfx and graphics including system] #include "gfx/all_gfx.c" is gone, and
new versions of PAGfx and PAGfx Frontend were rolled out.
[Examples] The examples have been updated with the new PAGfx and including system.
[Errors] The PAlib error screens have been improved.
[Speed test] The speed test routines were removed due to uselessness.
[Text functions] Added const-correctness to them.

Found this over at both gbatemp and devfr, heres the news from them:
French online video game accessories and flashcart store ExtremeJeux.com just started a homebrew competition, hosted over at PlayerAdvance. The rules are simple:
The purpose is to create new homebrew projects. As such, only new creations can be submitted.
The authors only have 2 weeks to submit their creations. Of course, this means they don't expect fully polished homebrew to be submitted: only the most original or interesting ideas or concepts will be rewarded.
A single person may submit multiple entries, however one person can only be rewarded with 1 prize.
The winners will be rewarded with DSTT+2GB MicroSD bundles. 3 packs are originally offered but they said they may go up to 5 depending on the quality of the entries.
Although the website hosting the competition is french, you may very well enter the competition as it's open to everyone!

The Kyoto District Court has ruled against 38 year-old company employee Yoshiaki Asagiri, who was put on trial for distributing DS games online without permission and breaking Japanese copyright law.
Asagiri has been sentenced to 2 and half years in prison and fined approximately US$21,000, plus an additional fine of $75,000. Late last year, Asagiri was arrested for creating a website that made over 1,000 DS games available for download.
The judge who sentenced Asaigiri said his crime "tramples" the effort of the copyright holders who have spent tremendous time, effort and money in creating these games.

Regardless of what your weekend activities may have been, we know it was hard to enjoy yourself, knowing that people in Japan and Europe were sharing their DSi photos on Facebook higglety pigglety, while yours were trapped by a lack of DSi 1.4 firmware like Zod and crew in the Phantom Zone.
Finally, said photos can be set free with an update to your DSi arriving at 8 p.m. EST in North America. Can you even wait until then? Yes, we imagine you can

Nintendo's profits may be down a bit, but four of the company's games still managed to sell more than a million units between April and June.
Smuggled in amongst the platform holder's financials (thanks Joystiq) was word that Pokémon Platinum, Wii Fit, Mario Kart Wii and Wii Sports all continued their multi-million marches.
Lifetime sales of the quartet are getting a bit silly, in fact. Wii Sports may be bundled with every Wii, but 47.62 million is still quite a lot of discs, while Wii Fit is not bundled and has done 21.82 million and Mario Kart Wii stands at 17.39 million.
Pokémon Platinum's 5.66 million looks a bit rubbish by comparison. You're not on the GameCube any more, Pikachu - buck your ideas up.
Speaking of comparisons, the document also notes that Nintendo had six million-sellers in the equivalent quarter last year - the three Wii games mentioned, plus Wii Play, Super Smash Bros. Brawl and another Pokémon game - Mystery Dungeon: Explores of Time/Darkness.

A new update for the DSi renders a number of piracy-ridden flash carts unusable.
The new firmware, once installed via a WiFi connection, will stop certain flash carts from booting up on the portable. AK2I, iPlayer, EZVi and a few others have been confirmed to be affected by the update, according to reports.
Counter measures such as those in the latest update usually halt their use for a while. But it's not long before hacker find a way around it. And so the battle rages on.

News from Dovoto
Wintermute has been kind enough to open source the DSi hack we have been using. To run the hack you will need a way to read and write save files on DS carts.
Tutorial:
1) Download the hack for your DSi enhanced game from http://github.com/WinterMute/
2) Edit the asm source file to reflect your region (US and UK currently supported), and of course add your own custom code.
3) Make the project which should produce a .sav file
4) Load the save file onto the game cart.
5) Launch the game in your DSi
Currently you are limited in space which restricts you to assembly programming. Hopefully this will inspire a few more people to poke about and get info coming in on SD card access and, of course, the cameras.
Loading a save file:
I have been using a tool called eepinator to upload the save file using a regular DS. There are probably other tools which would work.

Following this week's sour, but not unexpected, news of a 40 percent drop in hardware sales, Nintendo chief Satoru Iwata seems to be taking DS marketing in the direction of a personal device.
The shift would mean they want the unit to be seen as something everyone should own, not shared among a family. Basically, it means Nintendo wants everyone in the world to have a DS, which might seem obvious, and is an ambitious way to expand what analysts had seen as a somewhat saturated market.
Techradar's digest of a Nikkei article (subscription only) said the marketing will portray the DS as personal device "like a mobile phone," but I wouldn't take that to mean it's gonna get those capabilities sometime.

Mplayer CE is a fork of the Team Twiizers MPlayer port, combining elements of MPlayerWii and GeeXboX.
Changelog
0.71
Autoload implemented. If the next file has a very similar name (using a Levenshtein distance of 2) it will be autoloaded.
Examples: film.part1.avi > film.part2.avi (1 change)
episode.s01e09.avi > episode.s01e10.avi works (2 changes)
Improved memory management: fixes MPlayer hanging if out of memory.
OSD level 3 now shows mem1 and mem2 info.
Driver improved with autodetection error: on error the device is reinitied and read is retried.
Restore Points fixed. Now quit or power off saves restore point and can resume properly. Please delete your previous restore_point file in case it is corrupted, and check that your SD card isn't locked.
Improved SMB connections: now SMB will always reconnect.
Improved stream initialisation.
Fixed green lines at the top of loading screen.
Further improved video compatibility
Added ability to load an external driver from SD for USB 2.0 testing. More details (and drivers) will be added to the Google Code page at a later date. Thanks to Hermes for the patch.
Finally fixed the problem with network and USB 2.0 conflicts (due to the driver using a bad device).
Font loading improved.
Improved MPlayer support when a file unexpectedly disappears and reappears.
Many other small fixes and code cleanup.
New USB test:
If http://mplayer-ce.googlecode.com/files/USB%20Test.rar says USB device is compatible but a device is not working then there is no FAT partition on the device. Check if you are using NTFS instead.
