Develop reports that at a secret Nintendo developer conference this week, the company outlined a strategy to encourage developers to create short applications for the DSi's new DSiWare download service. Unnamed developer told Develop that Nintendo wants DSiWare developers to consider both short games and non-game apps, rather than the games-only selection found on WiiWare. The emphasis on small utilities and extremely brief games does call to mind a certain other device.
One dev said that "Given the advanced functions in the DSi, such as the microphone and camera, the company told us that there are a variety of opportunities for a variety of apps, both in a games sense and a non-games sense, that we could offer."
Nintendo of Japan already has a few non-game apps on the DSi Shop, including Nintendo-themed calculators, two clocks, and a travel guide. The rest of the service consists of small games, many of which are miniature versions of existing DS games. It seems that Nintendo's western branches have the same kind of thing in mind for third-party DSiWare offerings. We'll most likely find out next week, when Nintendo will present two talks at GDC: one about the DSi's design, and the other from Satoru Iwata called "Discovering New Development Opportunities."

Nintendo of Europe has let slip some new details about the forthcoming Wii boxer, Punch-Out!! The title, developed by Next Level Games (Mario Strikers), will reportedly feature a new two-player mode in which Little Mac can square off against himself.
NOE also confirmed that the title will boast 13 playable fighters -- roughly three more than the original. And it will also include Doc Louis.
Additionally, the company provides some new details about the motion-based controls (gamers can also play traditionally holding the Wii remote on its side). "Punching is a simple case of taking a swing at your opponent whilst holding different combinations of buttons. Soften them up with jabs by pressing up on the Nunchuk Control Stick when you punch, or crash home a super-charged Star Punch by holding the C or A Buttons as you let your hands go," Nintendo revealed.

Patrik Rak has released a new version of his excellent Sinclair ZX Spectrum Emulator for Nintendo DS:
ZXDS is an emulator of Sinclair ZX Spectrum for Nintendo DS, written by Patrik Rak. It is steadily reaching a mature stage of development, and it already has some noteworthy features, like accurate emulation of Spectrum 48k, 128k and Pentagon models (including sound), or support for TAP/TZX/PZX tape files, TRD/SCL disk files and RZX playback files, not to mention the ability to download these files online over WiFi. It is available entirely for free, but any donations are always welcome, see the details further down the page.
ZXDS 0.9.0 beta 2 (20.3.2009)
* Added proper initial FIFO sync which shall make WiFi init work on all cards.
* Reenabled automatic loading of .cfg and .pok files which was accidentally disabled before.
+ Added early boot message so people can see something is going on if boot takes a bit longer.
- The r4tf.dldi driver is not patched in, as these cards now support autopatching.
Also note that for the same reason and to avoid excess garbage the latest libfat library
doesn't include any builtin DLDI drivers anymore, so if you have some older card,
you may need to DLDI patch ZXDS yourself even if you hadn't to do that before.

Nintendo has sold over 10 million copies of Wii Play in the US since its launch in February 2007, according to data provided by NPD.
"Wii Play mini-games are fun and they get people playing together," said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of sales & marketing.
"Even if you believe people are buying Wii Play solely for the controller, that indicates that there are now more than 10 million people who have an extra Wii Remote controller in their homes."
She continued: "When added to the 12.7 million Wii Remote controllers that have sold separately, this reinforces the growing social gaming trend we have been seeing where friends and family use their Wii games as a social hub - both in person and online."
For February 2008, Nintendo US sales were up 74 per cent, with the Wii and DS topping the region's hardware sales.

Gaz has posted an entry in the Neoflash Coding Contest:
Nickname: Gaz
Project name : 5 Dice
From : UK
Division : NDS GAMES
Original entry : YES
Support Motion : NO
In last NEO Compo this project have won in the top 10 : NO
Description: A dice game based on Yahtzee
5 Dice Screen Shots
[Instructions]
The goal of 5 Dice is to get as many points as possible by rolling combinations of five dice. You can roll up to three times, possibly choosing to just roll some of the dice each time. After you roll, you choose which slot to score based on the combination rolled. Different combinations of dice earn points differently. If you don't meet the requirements for the combination you choose, you still have to score it on the score card. The game ends when you have filled in all the slots on the score card.
When the text on the [Roll] button is highlighted in red, it means rolls are active.
When the text on the [Roll] button is highlighted in black, you have completed three rolls.
When the text 'hold' is highlighted in Red, it means you can hold a combination of dice for your next roll.
Tips:-
*On the Upper part of the score card, you have ones and two's. These combinations are not going to gain you many points, so try and achieve a higher scoring combination, if it fails you can select one's or two's to give you some leeway.
*On the Lower part of the score card, Five dice is also good as it's hard to achieve.
Scoring
ITEM SCORING
Ones Number of 1’s occurring
Twos Number of 2’s occurring
Threes Number of 3’s occurring
Fours Number of 4’s occurring
Fives Number of 5’s occurring
Sixes Number of 6’s occurring
3 of a kind 3 dice the same, adds up the three dice
4 of a kind 4 dice the same, adds up the four dice
Full House 2 of the same and 3 of the same, e.g. 11222, scores 26
Small Straight 4 dice in sequence e.g. 1234, 3456, scores 28
Long Straight 5 dice in sequence either, 12345 or 23456, scores 38
5 Dice 5 fives required, scores 42
All Dice Adds up all dice
You must complete the score card to finish the game.
*You can save your highscores onto the online leaderboard and compete with other DS users. The leaderboard can be found @

B12Core has posted an entry in the Neoflash Coding Contest:
Nickname: B12Core
Project name : Ace Attorney DS
From: Canada
Division : DS APP
Original submission : YES
Support for Motion Card : YES
In last NEO Compo this project have won in the top 10 : NO
Download link: http://www.mediafire.com/?invnoymml4z
Installation: Explained in the thread
Description: Anime Image Game Engine
================================================== ==========================
Ace Attorney DS
DESCRIPTION
This application is an "Anime Image Game Engine". It is used to create and manipulate scenes to form a script in which the player can delve into. I have added extra support with this application, to support the emulation of the game "Phoenix Wright : Ace Attorney". This genre of game involves a protagonist Defense Attorney whom helps defend his clients through finding out information during interrogation, examining crime scenes, moving from location to location, presenting evidence to suspects and witnesses and proving testimony in court as false.
Ace Attorney DS reads from .ini files which fill in variables needed for the case to run. This engine, or in other words "Casemaker", comes with 113 profile sprites, 280 evidence sprites, 99 maps and 941 animations (pre-scripted for you, from Phoenix Wright : Ace Attorney and Phoenix Wright : Justice For All). Using these resources and the knowledge of the .ini functions, you can basically re-create a Phoenix Wright game, with your own custom plot, characters, evidence/profiles, maps/collision maps, and music. Don't feel limited to only being able to make Phoenix Wright games, this is an Anime Image Game Engine with unlimited possibilities if you have ideas. A fanfiction can be played out, for instance, through this application with the necessary sprites and script. Simply put, Ace Attorney DS is a game-maker.
I also realize that many of you may or may not be familiar of Phoenix Wright games and their genre. That is why I have included several tutorials on how to use this application to its fullest capabilities and learn how to create your own games or visual novels using the engine. It can take a long time to go through every single tutorial, so I'm asking if it's possible that you guys may not judge the book by its cover and flip through the tutorials, learning how the application works. Thank you very much!
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Simply place Ace Attorney DS.nds and the AADS folder into the root of your flash card.
2. Boot the ROM from whatever firmware you may be using and enjoy!
HOW TO USE
In the separate folder on the root of your flash card, named AADS, there are several folders inside. Navigate to AADS/cases/caseselection.ini and you will be able to see the case selection list used to determine the amount of cases and the folders the ROM should look for to start the cases. If you move further in, at AADS/cases/ini, there are several folders containing .ini files that the ROM reads. These .ini files are the basis of cases, and are used to define variables required by the casemaker to run. If you start the ROM up on hardware, you can begin take the tutorials (there are 30) to learn how to use the functions that are readable by the .ini files. Have fun!
MISC.
The application has DSMotion support. If you're wondering how, you can browse through the court record by tilting the DS in several directions. Also, you can press Start to save the game and suspend play.
I'm also asking if it's possible that my GUI not be ripped since I made most of the entire GUI used in the ROM.

Quote from: Example on Today at 02:27:29 AM
[CaseInit]
Name=Using the HP
[GlobalMode1Init]
[GlobalMode1Script]
SCR1REGText=This tutorial will focus on using the HP bar in trials.
SCR1Color=1
SCR1Map=2
SCR1Song=0
SCR1NameID=1
SCR1SFX=1001
SCR1Anim=150
SCR2REGText=We will be using events number 3 and 4 today. These will be used to add/subtract HP.
SCR2Anim=150
SCR3REGText=This tutorial will be very brief, as HP is a very simple variable to control.
SCR3Anim=150
SCR4REGText=Every case starts the player off with 20 HP. Through using Event 3, we will reduce the HP by
SCR4Anim=151
SCR5REGText=the number given in the EventXInt. For instance, I will now reduce the HP by 3.
SCR5Anim=151
SCR5Event1=3
SCR5Event1Int=3
SCR6REGText=Using Event 4, we can increase the HP by the number given in the EventXInt.
SCR6Anim=150
SCR7REGText=Hence, I will increase the HP by 2.
SCR7Anim=150
SCR7Event1=4
SCR7Event1Int=2
SCR8REGText=Increasing the HP bar past 20 will set the HP to 20.
SCR8Anim=150
SCR9REGText=Decreasing the HP bar past 0 will set the HP to 0.
SCR9Anim=150
SCR10REGText=Once the HP bar goes to 0, you will initiate SCR10 of GlobalMode999. This is a JumpToEvent
SCR10Anim=150
SCR11REGText=used to organize what the Judge will say due to the player losing all of his HP.
SCR11Anim=150
SCR12REGText=It will execute like so:
SCR12Anim=150
SCR12Event1=3
SCR12Event1Int=19
[GlobalMode999Script]
SCR10REGText=You have lost the game.
SCR10Anim=151

ollipolli has posted an entry in the Neoflash Coding Contest:
Nickname: OlliPolli
Project name : DSwiki
From: Germany
Division : DS APP
Original submission : YES
Support for Motion Card : NO
In last NEO Compo this project have won in the top 10 : NO
Download link: DSwiki-0.3alpha2 and DSwiki-indexer-1.1.0
Installation: See the README below
Description: Offline Wikipedia Reader
-------------------------------------------------
OK, then, time to enter the compo. I present DSwiki. This program is a viewer application for any wikimedia powered wiki, the most famous one is surely the original "Wikipedia". But also any(!) wiki hosted on http://www.wikia.com can be used.
You can download pre-made dumps from http://code.google.com/p/dswiki/wiki/Dumps, or use an indexer to turn any database dump into usable files for DSwiki. The instructions for that can be found under http://code.google.com/p/dswiki/wiki/CreateDumps.
The new version (0.3+), exclusively built for months to reach the deadline of this compo, is not comparable to v0.2 in any way. It features a totally different approach, namely to convert the markup into XML and parsing the XML-tree.
The left image shows the rendering of a "random" article ;-) Note the typography (bold/italic), the correct rendering of the list and that you reached this page through a redirection. The right image shows the table of contents that you can use to quickly navigate the article.
The left image shows the searchable index (this screenshot was taken from the uncyclopedia), the right image demonstrates just a little of DSwiki's feature to display most unicode characters.
The last image shows a typical run of the indexer, preparing the german wikibooks for DSwiki.
If you have questions, feature requests or other things you want to say, just do that in the thread in the PAlib forum (just google it), here, or write me a mail. Bug reports should go into the list on the googlecode-page.
For the installation, see the README below. Make sure you take the tutorial on the first start, you'll learn everything you need. But you can start it also at a later time from the menu.
I hope you like DSwiki, it was a pleasure to code it.
Ciao
OlliPolli
DSwiki (v0.3alpha2)
=====================
DSwiki is an offline viewer for Wiki markup, for example for the
Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wiktionaries, ...
DSwiki is NOT a web browser!
Why DSwiki?
=============
DSwiki is optimal for all people with a Nintendo DS that like to
have their information "portable", but cannot access the Internet
directly. So far, no Program was very good in displaying the
Wikipedia on the DS. NewDictS can display an uncompressed dump, but
this dump is outdated, and the Wikipedia has grown dramatically
since then, so compression was absolutely necessary. In addition,
most homebrew programs can't handle UTF-8.
Features
==========
-- Get the complete(!) Wikipedia on a Nintendo DS. The English language
edition fits on a 4GB storage device, the German edition is just 1.2GB.
-- Quite good handling of internal links. Alternative display text
and appended letters are supported to create the same look as
in the online version. Subpage links are supported.
-- Very good Unicode/UTF8-Support (as much - or as little - as the
underlying font covers)
-- Fast and easy searchable index
-- Bookmarks
Usage
=======
Just take the tutorial at the first start, or start it any time later
from the menu.
Installation
==============
1. Copy DSwiki.nds somewhere on your flash card, DLDI-patch it if
necessary.
2. Create dumps of your favorite wiki or download already prepared ones.
Visit <http://code.google.com/p/dswiki/wiki/Dumps> for a list.
3. Copy all files with the extensions
ifo
idx
ao1
ao2
db? [ ? = one letter, typically "a" or "b", "z" is used in older versions ]
into /dswiki. This directory must exist in the root directory of your flash card.
Planned Features
==================
-- Improved Search (advanced input)
-- "Find as you type" inside an article
-- Switching between fonts on the fly
-- Customization
DSwiki is based on
====================
-- NewDictS <http://tvgame360.com.tw/viewthread.php?tid=21913&extra=&page=1>
Thanks to sesa for graphics-/unicode- and font-routines
-- Wiki2Touch <http://code.google.com/p/wiki2touch/>
Thanks to Tom Haukap for the file format and index routines
-- libbzip2 <http://bzip.org/>
-- UCS fonts <http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs-fonts.html>
Thanks to Markus Kuhn
+ some other fonts
+ Titlegraphic <http://www.stefanie-gronau.de>
Thanks to my beloved wife
Have Fun!

Pre-Installation!
Step1: Back-Up your micro-sd card!
Step2: Make a new folder on the root of the card called "Homebrew"
Step3: Put homebrew into the "Homebrew" folder.
Step4: Do the the following for what is suited to you to use with the below instructions.
Installation for Regular Users
Take the HWOS folder and put it on the root of your cart. Thats it. Make sure everything copies over though. Then navigate to it and boot "HW_OS2.nds" from inside the folder. If for some reason the updater fails or it no longer works, just use "RecoveryMode.nds" to update it again.
Installation for R4 Users
Do the same thing as you would for regular users, but this time copy the "bootme.nds" and "bootme.txt" to the root of the card and boot that.
Installation for R4 Users with autoboot OS feature
Do the same as you would for R4 users, but this time take the "_DS_MENU.DAT" and copy it to the root of the card. This will over ride your old one so make a back up.

So Mario Touch N Go is a unique platformer. Its unique because
it lets Mario & Yoshi fly around in the sky and not walk on the
ground plus all the enemies are i the air, it also has touch controls
hence the name Touch N Go, i used some of the code from the palib/demos
but i mostly edited it into mine! i call it the Touch engine , so i just wanted to
tell you that and i hope to release a new demo soon but i have released one on
palib today but its only 10 ten downloads and i doubt you will get it unless your
a member of palib. But i might post it later oh yeah the nly improvement from the alpha

RULEZ
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The goal of the game it's to make snails complete some races.
Snails starts at 0 and end a race at 14+.
If a snails reach 14+ with your card, then you get one "Finish" point and X
"Speed" point where X is the final value of the snail [let's say you play a
card and a snail reach 16, then you get one "Finish" point and 16 "Speed"
point].
Each players start with eight card and draw a card at the end of each of his
turns [if the deck is not exausted].
On each turn players must play one and only one card.
Colored card can only be played on the snail of the same color.
Black card can be played on whatever snail you like.
When a player plays a card on a snail it moves forward [or backward in the
case of black card] of a number equals to the card value [let's say that the red
snail is at 4 and you play a red 2, then the snail runs at 6].
The winner is the player with most "Finish" point, on draw the winner is the
player with most "Speed" point, on draw ... the game is a DRAW! ) .
Enjoy!
