There's nothing wrong with making an infamously violent fighting series such as "Mortal Kombat" available on the family-friendly Wii console. Ultimately, the Wii could be the best machine yet for appealing to all types of gamers, including players who like the blood-and-guts genres.
But there is a huge problem with making a Wii-enhanced version of a game -- in this case, Midway's just-released update of "Mortal Kombat: Armageddon" -- that doesn't work well enough to justify spending five cents on it or five minutes with it.
The remote-activated motion controls are a mess. Simple gestures, such as making a half-circle motion with the main Wii remote, are supposed to initiate characters' "super moves" (a flying bicycle kick, for instance). But the gestures only register some of the time, or register as a different move than was intended. You can't engage in a fight with any confidence of being able to attack effectively, so what's the point of playing?
You also can use a GameCube or Wii "classic" controller, but that throws aside the basic reason for playing on the Wii.
To some extent, the motion-recognition may depend on how precisely each move is executed, explaining why the controls will seem more or less reliable to different people. But anything less than 99 percent dependability is disastrous for this type of game.
-----------------------------
personally im pretty dissapointed and i thought they would of brought something new and unique to the table but allas it looks like were sticking to the standard gamecube controller which as quoted throws away the basic reason for playing the wii

I don't know if anyone has done anything with mods for Quake DS, but with the help of Simon I finally managed to get Rocket Arena working. I also included custom maps that are low on poly count to help increase the game's speed.
You can play Rocket Arena from the non-wifi version of Quake DS, and it comes it two flavors, Rocket Arena and Deathmatch.
The Bots are powered by Mr.Elusive's Omicron Bots, which learn the maps and your pathing to make them very competitive. There's a set number of random bots with their own skin and abiilties. You can add and remove bots until you find one with the challenge level you are comfortable with.
A full version fo Quake is required, as well as using PakExplorer to modify your PAK0.PAK file to run this mod. Without a commandline, there's no other way possible. You're simply overwriting files, and adding new files that the mod needs. I cannot distribute the PAK file premade, but I can provide the files you can add to your own.
I'm waiting on an reply from Simon Hall before I release these PAK file additions, but in the meantime, here's a pic and youtube:

Ok, so I really enjoy re-texturing n64 games and bringing them back to life again. I think that everyone with artistic skills or someone in the learning should give it a try.
When we retexture a game, we are replacing the original texture (graphics of a game) with new ones. When a texture is replaced, we call it re-textured.
Here's what you will need:
*N64 emulator, only project 64 or 1964 will work.
http://emulator-zone.com/doc.php/n64/
*A n64 rom that you will retexture. note that not all games are compatible with the emulator.
(sorry I cant provide you with a source for roms or illegal copyrighted materials)
*The correct plugins for your emulator.
You will need ricevideo plugin (I will explain it later)
http://www.filefactory.com/file/acf59e/
*An image editor. I use Adobe Photoshop, but you can use other things. If you want something free, then I recommend Gimp http://www.gimp.org/downloads/
*Last thing you will need is common sense.
Lets get started.
1. Pick an emulator. I use project 64.
2. You need to put the proper plugins. When you have the plugins, put the file "RiceVideo.dll" in the emulators plugin folder. (am I getting confusing?)
The emulator's plugin folder is located like this program files>project64.16>plugins
When you download the plugin, it should also come
with a file named "BMGLib.dll". Put that in the emulators directory folder
program files>project64.16.
3. Configuring your plugins for project 64.
Open up pj64. Go to options then setting.
Were it says "Video graphics] plugin" you should be able to change it to Rice's Video plugin" if you put the materials in the correct places.
Now still in the settings, go to the options tab and make sure "Hide advance settings" is not checked.
When everything is done correctly, click ok.
No go to options and open up "configure graphics plugin". Click on the "texture filter" tab. Then put a check mark on "Load Hi-res textures if available".
Close the emulator and open it again.
Congratulations, if you have successfully opened the emulator without any errors, then your emulator is configured and ready to go.
If you do have errors, post them and I will try to help you. Also try looking back and make sure that you did not miss anything.
Retexturing Tutorial. Part 2:
Dumping and replacing textures tutorial comming soon.

He has been asked by an angel, Lulu, to locate a witch or sorceress (depending on which news outlet is doing the translation) that has snuck into his school.

Wii owners, you can't hide from them. They're everywhere. They've even infiltrated Majesco, who is now working on Furu Furu Park containing another 30.
Attacking your Wii this autumn, it's got breakout clones, baseball, number-based memory puzzles, asteroid-punching, karate and other Japanese-influenced madness. Some of it sounds cool. But how many times have you hit a baseball with your Wii Remote already? A million times, maybe? That doesn't matter. Like we said, you can't hide from it.
Soon, you'll be living your life in small, 30-second intervals. Doing a single task for long lengths of time will become a distant memory.
Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3 are your only hope - the light at the end of a long dark, mini game-filled tunnel built using mini-game bricks.

As reported back in May, Soul Calibur is punching its way to Wii in a new adventure-based game dubbed Soul Calibur Legends. Many thought the game was being toned down with the new 'adventure game' focus but Namco's making the game as brutal as ever by placing an emphasis on weapon-based combat that uses the Wii Remote.
Speaking exclusively to CVG, director Jin Okubo told us, "Many people have already experienced the sword play and action of Soul Calibur, but we really wanted to expand its potential - and that's why we decided to go in a new direction. We'd like to make Legends appeal even to people who have never played a game in the Soul Calibur series."
So how can we expect the Remote to be used? "By swinging the Wii Remote as players please, in-game characters will perform the exact sword actions that players are thinking of," Okubo added. "The Nunchuk is mainly used for body movement, but by shaking the Nunchuk it's also possible to block incoming attacks, evade dangerous situations, and to perform other unique moves. And there are various moves that can only be pulled off by combining Nunchuk and Wii Remote actions."
Look out for the full interview in the coming days where Okubo talks further on the control system, the characters we'll be seeing, the game's new direction and game modes other than adventure. We'll also have a batch of new and exclusive screens too!

New weekly offer from Play Asia
Jump Ultimate Stars is the sequel to one of the best selling games of 2005, Jump Super Stars. It is the second collaboration between Nintendo of Japan and Jump magazine, this time incorporating 300 characters from 40 Shonen Jump properties.
The "Koma" battle system will still be used in this sequel with the original 4-by-5 grid and touch screen support. However a number of improvements have been made, including calling support characters into battle via L/R button, without using the touchpad. Characters can now cling on to ledges when falling adjacent to them and some of the stages include areas that can be reached by destroying walls, even the floor and ceiling.
As another major improvement, Jump Ultimate Stars now supports Wi-Fi battles, which allows gamers all around the world to combat against each other.
Nintendo's Jump Ultimate Stars for Nintendo DS™ is one of the hottest selling NDS™ games at Play-Asia.com. The item is now available for one week at a special discount of US$ 29.90 only.

This week, Japan got three games that we don't have yet in the US-- no surprise there. But we already had Splatterhouse on our Virtual Console, so we totally win in that one specific competition that isn't really a competition.
The non-Splatterhouse games include another shooter, a Paleolithic puzzle game that we'd never heard of, and a completely awesome ninja game that we'd love to see over here ASAP. And, since it did come out over here (as Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master), we are not crazy to expect it!
- Star Soldier (Famicom, 1 player, 500 Wii points)
- Flappy (Famicom, 1-2 players, 500 Wii points)
- The Super Shinobi II (Mega Drive, 1 player, 600 Wii points)
- Splatterhouse (PC Engine, 1 player, 600 Wii points)

New from Mollusk:
A new day, a new play...
Sumiguchi showed me a play flash yesterday: http://kongregate.com/games/Kalinium/orb-avoidance I found that fun, I began a quickly made clone. The play ugly, is badly carried out, short, without interest, and I would probably not finish it, but I place it at the disposal with the sources for those which would like to play with. Azn
The rules of Kongregate are simple: neither the balls should be touched, nor the squares... The square is fixed, but the balls are irremediably attracted par votre corps (l'effet Axe) the stylet, therefore attention. There are 3 types of balls, with a different speed and a behavior.

In the last Chibi-Robo adventure, our diminutive hero restored happiness to the Sanderson home, but in this DS sequel, he’s taking on the great outdoors.
Playground equipment in the park is mysteriously disappearing and the flowers in the park have been transformed by evil monsters. It’s up to Chibi-Robo to save the day and make the park a nice place to visit again.
This time around, Chibi-Robo gets to flex his mechanical muscles in new and interesting ways. He rides buggies, cars and boats across lawns and ponds, fights mysterious enemies with his trusty squirter, dances in the park to give life to the plants there and builds playground equipment to make the park a better place.

via Gaming Today
Rumors are circulating in the gaming industry that Namco Bandai’s Beautiful Katamari, will no longer be coming to the PS3. Now if you recall, earlier this year the game was supposedly coming to the Nintendo console in the first place, but the idea was axed because the developer was worried about Wii sales and was unsure about the new console as a whole. So, up until recently, Namco Bandai was working on versions for only the Xbox 360 and the PS3.
We were told that the reason for shunning Sony, was mainly due to port issues with the PS3 compounded with slow sales of the console. This has forced Namco Bandai to re-port Beautiful Katamari for the Wii after all, and this sudden change of heart is partly due to the fantastic sales figures reported for the Nintendo console. Now, until we get confirmation from Namco Bandai, please consider this a rumor. Granted, it would be nice to have this game for the Wii, but it may end up just being an Xbox 360 exclusive instead (the game’s original creator has been critical of Nintendo’s platform).
Any Wii owner and fan of the series can tell you that this would be a perfect fit for the Wii and a great addition to Nintendo’s library.
We will give you more information as details become available.

Sonic the Hedgehog leads the Virtual Console charge today, as his second quest, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, hits the European download service.
The first game is good 'n all, but this is proper Sonic - the Down-A- turbo spin move, Tails being an idiot behind you. It's good to see it on Wii.
Also from the Mega Drive comes Ecco: Tides of Time, the sequel to his first deep sea adventure in which he takes on the alien minions of the Vortex Queen. Or just get lost in insanely tough mazes.
And if you'd rather smash faces than solve underwater puzzles, Golden Axe II also arrived, as well as the Turbografx vertical shooter, Dragon Spirit.
The three Mega Drive titles go for 800 Wii Points (£6), while Dragon Spirit costs 600 (£4.50).

It was bound to happen - Smash Bros. Brawl on Wii will be taking the fight to the gorgeous, sunset-lit world of Twilight Princess.
The battle takes place on the Eldin Bridge, which may look really flat and dull, but as you can see in the screens parts of the bridge break during the fight.
King Bulblin - the moody pig-riding dude who you play joust with in Link's quest - will also trample through the field, battering unlucky combatants.
Other screens below show Mario doing a standard smash, and the king of the Koopers transforming into Giga Bowser - his Final Smash move that makes him grow to a giant's size and hammer his foes.

New from beodeulpiri:
Tangram is the ancient china puzzle. It's good for your brain training.
This game has total 72 stage that is made with manual work terribly.
It has two control method that is shape recognition of stylus movement and key pad control.
Shape recognition is easy control method when sprites are departed from each other.
But when sprites are at a short distance, Shape recognition is difficult to control because of interference of the other sprite. So you will have to use key pad control.
Magnifier button is helped with you one tan position at each stage randomly.
#Shape recognition
-. click and drag : movement
-. Straight left,right,up,down line : flip
-. sloping left, right line : rotation
#Key pad control
-. Pad left,right,up,down : movement
-. Y, A : rotaton
-. X, B : flip
-. Trigger L, R : tangram selection change

The Japanese site for Soul Calibur Legends is up and running, complete with screenshots and a few character profiles, and lots of room to expand for later content. Despite the change in gameplay, the site gives us warm and fuzzy feelings of familiarity. While this isn't the same ol' fighting game that we're used to from Soul Calibur, the mood of the series is definitely intact.

The game, which will be developed by Blue Tongue and Helixe, was a IGF student game finalist and falls into the action puzzle category. de Blob tasks players with spreading color, so that they may "liberate an alien city from the evil, monochromatic I.N.K.T. Corporation."

We recently reported that Atari would show a Jenga game at E3. We wondered if it was going to be just Jenga or some kind of expanded game based on the concept of Jenga. It's just Jenga.
What does the Wii bring to the table (so to speak) that the original game doesn't have? Well, the ability to play Jenga on top of a castle, or in front of a lighthouse, or in someone's living room-- and the ability to do so as an icon of a snowman.
Where Wii Jenga fails and real Jenga exceeds, however, is in the graphics. The original Jenga's wood texture looks absolutely lifelike, while the texture is quite blurry and unrealistic on the Wii.

A particularly war-torn cat has managed to leap from the confines of its bag, letting loose with it word that the Call of Duty franchise is coming to the DS. Hot on the heels of rival franchise Brothers in Arms, Activision's Call of Duty franchise is another FPS making its first debut on Nintendo's handheld. Judging by the screens we've seen, along with who's actually developing it (n-Space), we've got high hopes.
IGN has an interview with producer Sam Nouriani, who has confirmed the game has been secretly in development for quite some time now. He also confirms that the storyline of the DS game runs along with that of the console versions, but does not have you playing as the same characters. As for the rest of the interview, Sam confirms some on-rail segments and tells us to expect all of the wonderful things the franchise has brought to consoles to appear on the DS.

Bleach: The Blade of Fate for Nintendo DS is an online 2D fighting game that is considered to be one of the best Japan-only titles on the platform.
On Wii, Bleach: Shattered Blade will let you use the Wiimote motion controls to control its 3D, cel-shaded fighting game action.
The anime on which the games are based is produced by Viz and currently runs on the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block. The games are slated for a fall 2007 release, alongside the premiere of the show's second season.

Heres an entry into the GBAX Coding Comp 2007.
Release from Lordus
"jEnesisDS" is a Sega MegaDrive/Genesis Emulator for the Nintendo DS.
It started as a port of my Java Genesis/32X emulator jEnesis. By now, the code has been
completely rewritten and many parts (CPU core, parts of GPU) are written in ARM assembler.
It didnt quite want to release it yet, but decided to do so entering it in the GBAX competition.
There is no sound emulation yet, just some code to fake the Z80 and make more games boot.
Unfortunately this can affect some games, that use the Z80 for timing, but should be O.K for most
games.
Compatibility is already quite good, but not anywhere near the Java version, due to the missing
Z80 emulation and some "shortcuts" taken to speed up the emulation.
jEnesisDS has a quite accurate software renderer, which i decided to disable for this release,
because it is a compile time option atm and cannot be choosen in the settings yet.
The hardware renderer is not complete and shows certain glitches with some games, but is already
quite usable with most games. If a game is missing sprites (Eliminate DOwn) try disabling
H-INT emulation.
You have to play a bit with the settings to make some games boot or work better.
Some games work faster with "Idle Loop Detection", others without (Castlevania, Gunstar Heroes),
and some games just boot if it is disabled.
The same goes for H-INT emulation. If a game doesnt boot just try changing those options.
Very few games will just boot, if checksum autofixing is disabled (Dynamite Heady, Thunder Force IV).
Currently i see no way to include scaling into the HW renderer, so you have to live
with parts of the screen being cut off or use the SW renderer (once it is enabled in a future release).
Changelog:
********
v0.4 * Initial Preview Release
********
- Custom ARM asm Motorola68000 CPU core
- Hardware and Software renderer (this release defaults to the HW renderer and the SW
renderer can not yet been choosen through the settings.
- VDP emulation with all DMA modes
- Horizontal & Vertical Interrupts
- Support for PAL/NTSC and all country codes (all games will run at 60Hz though)
- .smd, .bin & .gen support
- partial SRAM save/load support (doesnt work for all games yet)
- Line based renderer
- Scroll Layers A+B & Window rendering with priorities (horizontal Windows arenot emulated in the
HW renderer yet)

EA has confirmed that Wii sing-along Boogie will come with its own karaoke microphone when it's released in Europe on 31st August.
The publisher also released a full tracklist for the game, which will include hits from The Jackson 5, Britney Spears, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Kool & The Gang.
Boogie is billed as the Wii's answer to the incredibly popular Sony hit, SingStar - a karaoke game that lets you belt out your favourite songs and scores you on how well you perform.
However, EA is attempting to take things a step further with Boogie, by using the motion-sensing abilities of the console to track your movements so you can dance along, too.
"This is a breakthrough game with a landmark soundtrack," said Steve Schnur, big cheese of music at EA. "We've brought together generations of the biggest hits in pop music history for a game that takes Wii innovation to a whole new level. Boogie is truly the ultimate family fun experience."
The full tracklist can be found below. It looks pretty good to us.
- ABC - The Jackson 5

- Celebration - Kool & The Gang

- Dancing Machine - Jackson 5
- Don't Cha - Pussycat Dolls / Busta Rhymes
- Fergalicious - Fergi
- Get Right - Jennifer Lopez
- Get The Party Started - Pink

- I'm A Slave 4 U - Britney Spears
- It's Raining Men - The Weather Girls
- Karma Chameleon - Culture Club
- Kung Fu Fighting - Carl Douglas

You've seen the shots, and you hardcore Sega fans will be pleased to know that the lid has finally been lifted on in-game footage for NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams on Wii, and it's looking pretty cool.
The first video is a very Disney-like trailer that sets the scene for what's to come.
The second video is where the real meat lies though - three-and-a-half minutes of uninterrupted gameplay footage.
The gameplay looks smooth, fast and not unlike the much-loved original, albeit much better looking.
But does it live up to fans' expectations? Sound off with your first impressions in the comments below.

The official box art for the Japanese release of Forever Blue has just been unveiled. A few vague details were leaked earlier this month confirming the non-game will be exploration-based as you swim the ocean cataloging and photographing the sea life you encounter. With the little blue Wi-Fi logo, the box also confirms online multiplayer exploration. Although a North American or European release has not been mentioned, we're still filing this one under the "Japan gets all the cool boxes" category.

Activision and RedOctane have finally unveiled the Wii's Guitar Hero 3 controller. Like the one for the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions, it's based on the Gibson Les Paul shape, with a removable solid white faceplate. However, unlike the version for the other systems, it's got a big cavity in it for the Wiimote, which a lot of us expected.
Does the fact that we have already bought about $40 worth of this controller make the $90 price for game and guitar too high? It's an old argument, but now that we have a little more information, it may be worth thinking about again.
Personally, I'm about to sh|t my pants.

When Sega and Nintendo revealed that Sonic and Mario would be in a game together it was is a big deal. Following 20 years of rivalry the two gaming icons would join forces to promote sport to kids around the world.
Back when the game was announced we caught up with Sega Europe boss Mike Hayes who explained, "Obviously we were lucky enough to secure the Beijing 2008 Olympic licence about a year ago and so we were thinking about what we could do with that. Speaking to the IOC (International Olympics Committee), they really pushed home the spirit of sport for everyone, and their wanting to get younger people into the Olympics.
"So rather than just doing a simulation we thought that we had some great characters that young people love and are very iconic. The idea started there, and then we thought that is would be perfect if Nintendo could bring Mario into it so we talked to Nintendo and they agreed it was a great idea. So it was actually from the Olympics that this was born."

I've just released WiiYourself!, a fully-featured native C++ Wiimote library.
It supports just about everything, including all Bluetooth stacks & audio. Source is available and contributions are welcome.
This marks the release of my totally-free & fully-featured Wiimote native C++ library.
Originally based on Brian Peek's excellent Managed Wiimote Library over at MSDN's Coding4Fun website (check it out if you need .Net support), I've since rewritten and extended it considerably:
What it's good at:
supports multiple Wiimotes, Nunchuk & Classic Controllers
reads battery level / buttons / acceleration / IR / triggers / joysticks (with deadzones)
estimates orientation (including Pitch and Roll)
can set LEDs & rumble (with optional async duration)
supports all Bluetooth stacks (auto-detects output method)
(experimental) speaker support (square wave & sample playback!)
threaded to multitask smoothly
extensive debug output.
Current limitations:
only runs on Windows (could easily be extended, contributions welcome)
needs more testing (join my mailing list)

News/release from JessTicular
Hello,
I've previously posted here about my Spider Solitaire DS game, and would like to let everyone know of a new version: v3.0.0
The main updates to v3.0.0 are completely new graphics, as well as a
complete engine re-write.
This version also brings with it:
- Complete re-write of the display engine
- Added sounds
- Added Ghosted cards for those which are selected
- Added a 'Congratulations' section showing score and turns
- Changed movement to be free rather than snapping to piles
- Source is much, much cleaner now, and due to modularity, should
allow for future versions of Solitaire and possibly other card games.
More information and a download of both the source code & binary of the game are available at:
http://jt0.org/projects/spidersolitaire
Webmasters, I would ask that you please do not mirror the files, nor link directly
to them, but instead link directly to the project page (above).
Thank you very much, and I hope you enjoy the game.
Cheers,
Jess - http://jt0.org

Let's not bandy about here, we're pretty much God's gift to green shell snipes, and hook us up with a few red shells and perhaps a banana or two and you can pretty much kiss your Flower Cup goodbye. Nintendo just announced some extensive online functionality for its upcoming Wii-based Mario Kart title, including an undisclosed amount of "more" online competitors, which is always a plus. Nintendo is also packing a free Wii Wheel with each copy of the game to help ease the newbs into the Kart action. No word on how much the new wheel will cost on its own, but we'll be seeing both it and Mario Kart in the first quarter of 2008.

Nintendo has just announced a new Wii Peripheral. It is a step-pad type device which allows you to stand, sit, do push-ups, and other aerobic exercises such as jump-roping alongside a new title, Wii Fit. The game will monitor your health rating, and provide many mini games to get your fat butt in shape.
The device measures your balance, and even calculates your weight (body mass index.) It is wireless via bluetooth, and will ship later this year with the software title.

Nintendo has admitted that shortages of the Wii console are likely to continue for the rest of the year, with retail facing the possibility of a second Christmas without enough stock to meet consumer demand.
Yesterday at the company's E3 conference, Nintendo revealed a host of new products including the Wii Zapper and the Wii Wheel peripherals, and new software in the form of Wii Fit.
But George Harrison, senior VP of marketing has told Reuters that the firm cannot guarantee it won't see the same problems it had last year with supply unable to meet demand.
"There is no guarantee that we are not going to have 'out-of-stocks' this holiday season," said Harrison.
"If you see one, buy it. Don't assume that you can come back later and find one."
Harrison said that Nintendo is trying to find the right production schedule, but the console sells out within days whatever the region.
"We're trying to figure out what's the reasonable monthly level, and as we've seen every time we ship product to the market, whether it's on Japan or here in the US or Europe, it sells out in a matter of days."

This is what we like to see - a multi-format game actually making an effort to be a proper Wii game, not a cut-down port with Wii Waggle. Kudos to EA.
FIFA 08 on will have plenty of extra Wii-flavoured goodies. FreeMotion is what EA is calling the new control system that lets you "use motions to control everything from tackling to shooting and throw-ins to freekicks."
There's a 'Footii Party' mode too, but wait... this isn't your usual range of crap mini-games. It'll boast three cool games - a mint-looking Table Soccer game, Juggling (or kick-ups where we're from), and a game called Boot It, a cartoony penalty-taking game that uses your Mii.
Playing as your Mii, you use Remote gestures to shoot and save the ball, and can take on a special Ronaldinho Mii - crazy teeth removed.
Of course, there's a serious game in there, as EA stresses. There are over 570 teams and 14,000 players, and the online Interactive Leagues are coming to Wii too, allowing you to play matches over the internet and build up points on huge online leagues.
FIFA 08 is coming home to Wii later this year. No specific date has been announced.

Forget swimming with real dolphins. Who want's to get in the sea where sharks might come and bite yours and the dolphin's asses off when you can do it on Wii?
Endless Ocean, formerly known as Forever Blue, is a deep sea diving sim that lets you explore the depths looking to discover dozens of types of fish, and train your own dolphin.
Now, for a videogame, that sound knob, but the strange fact is this game looks bloody good and we actually look forward to having a poke around. Check out the tranquil video and tell us you don't think it looks nice.

Nintendo has been shoving Super Smash Bros. Brawl screens at you daily for the past few weeks, but if you live in UK you aren't getting a sniff of the action until next year.
In a shock revelation, the game that Miyamoto originally mooted to be a Wii launch game is now set for a frustratingly vague "2008" release in Europe.
The Americans, on the other hand, will be brawling from December 3. Life just isn't fair. Time to go mental.

We've got the latest Nintendo release schedule that reveals the much anticipated European release dates for two of its biggest upcoming games.
Samus' massive Wii debut isn't far off because Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is hitting stores on October 26. YES!
And Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (aka The Best Game on DS) is sailing it's way to our little island a week before that: October 19.
In another slightly more surprising revelation, Nintendo also confirms that Advance Wars 2 is on the way to DS, and it'll be out later this year. Wowzer!
Needless to say, you'd better have some cash saved up because those are some of the most essential purchases of the year for every Nintendo fan.

During a recent one-on-one interview with Shigeru Miyamoto, the famed Nintendo producer talked briefly about progress on the Wii version of Animal Crossing, Here's what he had to say:
"The Animal Crossing team has been very busy working on a variety of different projects. Actually, the Mii Channel was put together by the director of the most recent Animal Crossing game. His name is Mr. Nogami. Recently he said he really wants to get back to work on Animal Crossing again, so hopefully we'll be able to show something to people before too long."
The title was announced previously and is expected to make full use of Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

Hi DCEmu Community!
I started developing a Jabber-client for the Nintendo DS. Currenty, its not very advanced, but it works. I already talked to some friends using my DS  . Now my concern: What do you think about a Jabber client for the Nintendo DS? What do you guys expect from a jabber client? Im in doubt there are many jabber users out there, but if you use it: Please post your opinion!
My plans so far:
Implement the basic Jabber protocol described in RFC 3920 and 3921.
Implement some XEP's like Groupchat, VCard, File transfer and so on. (Jingle would be sooo cool, but currently far away)
Are there any XEP's you want to see in DSJabber? I hope you like the idea and visit the project's blog at: http://malax.de/dsjabber (English, dont be afraid of a .DE domain ;-))
Malax
PS: Sorry about my bad english, it isnt my native language. ;-)

Club Nintendo fans in Europe have been told this week that they risk losing their entire stock of Nintendo 'Stars' if they don't agree to new privacy terms.
Customers have until July 15 to agree to new terms which give "permission to gather information about your online activities on our web site and with Nintendo’s products," a Nintendo statement said.
The company said the move was necessary "To allow us to implement additional features on our website, to improve our products and to adapt them to our users’ needs and preferences."
However, a stern warning later in the email - sent out on June 29, and again yesterday - revealed that users must comply with the new terms by Sunday or have their entire memberships deactivated.
The email stated: "If you choose to DECLINE our new Privacy Policy , you will from [July 15] onwards no longer be able to use your Stars in the Stars Catalogue, as we will be forced to deactivate your Nintendo membership."
The new privacy terms will give Nintendo the authority to track users' browsing habits on the Nintendo site, as well as their Wii console useage. The statement said: "Nintendo will collect information about the way you use your Wii and the Wii Network Services including, but not limited to, information about the games you download and/or play and how long you play them."
However, closer inspection of the new privacy terms revealed an incentive to allow Nintendo access to users information. By linking the Wii Shop Channel account to the Club Nintendo account, users will be able to redeem Stars (included as a scratch card within every first party Nintendo title) to get Wii Points online, claim Stars for Virtual Console games purchased, and be able to check statistics from Wii games with online functionality - all depedant on availability, Nintendo said.

Nintendo 64 RPG classic Paper Mario has joined the Wii Virtual Console line-up today.
The addition of the 2001 classic brings the number of N64 titles available via the Wii Shop to six, joining Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Lylat Wars and F-Zero X. Each costs 1000 points to download, which equates to about GBP 7 - or just over 10 Euros.
Back in the day Tom awarded the game a whopping 9/10, commenting that it was "the best RPG on the Nintendo 64, and acts as a superb gateway to the genre," and "an RPG rich with ingenuity and style" with "all-important Mario moments that only a true fan will understand."
He even said, back in October 2001, that people should "buy it and forget about the GameCube". Now that it's about one eighth of its original £60 price tag (dear god), we reckon this one might prove a popular download, especially with the long-awaited Super Paper Mario arriving on Wii here in Europe in two months time.
In the meantime, you might want to trawl the bargain basement for 2004 Cube classic Paper Mario 2: The Thousand Year Door. Another game Tom dished out a rare 9/10 to, and fully compatible with the Wii, of course.
Elsewhere on the VC service this week is Air Zonk, a TG-16 game from 1992. Said to be a side-scrolling shooter, our friendly neighbourhood Wikipedia entry claims the game is "widely considered to be an excellent shoot 'em up." We'll be putting it through its paces ourselves today, and bringing you another VC round-up tomorrow morning to find out if they're talking a load of rose-tinted rubbish. As ever, 600 points is the fee for this slice of retro blastery.
We're losing count a little bit, but with think this pairing brings the European VC total up to 105. Not bad going, Nintendo, but some free trials would be nice.

A security bulletin released 4 days ago by Adobe, tells us that the Flash Player used by the Internet Channel can be exploited to execute arbitrary code because of an input validation error in flash. This might be a opening for hackers to create some kind of homebrew launcher, and Nintendo has to pay to get a unaffected version of the Flash player from Adobe. This means that this security hole might not be patched as fast as the last one. Official bullentin

When you hear about the Wii Party Station by Nyko for the first time there's a moment where you think how ridiculous it is, but when you see it, you realize it could serve some purpose. An utterly ridiculous purpose, but a purpose nonetheless. Is it designed for "family fun" Wii play -- no. It is clearly designed for a bunch of guys sitting around and having a party.
The unit has four removable can holders which have liquid built inside of them so it can be refrigerated or frozen to keep drinks cold, a storage unit underneath, and a removable chip holder. All of this makes for super easy cleaning. There is a fan for hand drying -- like a bowling alley. And four displays for keeping score if you're tracking who won which games (assuming you're playing various games). The non-corporate line would be to use those displays to keep track if you're playing the Mario Party drinking game so that nobody goes overboard -- but that's a story for another time.
The unit runs off AA batteries and holds 4 Wiimotes (a hybrid of the Nyko Wiicharge Station with this would have been sweet). The unit looks like it would sit in a dorm room coffee table or a house shared by a bunch of guys. Is it a little ridiculous? Sure. But it doesn't take a stretch of the imagination to see it being useful to certain demographics -- and the Wii is all about the demographic spread.

Hey all,
I've had the WiiFreeEasy Connect units for a while now, but had not posted my review online yet. This mainly because of the new update to the WiiFree code (including the LCD). I have contacted the WFEC team about this new update, however have not heard anything yet.
Regardless the current version is available and thus I release my review. You can read it:
Here
For those of you who do not know the WiiFree Easy Connect;
The WiiFree Easy Connect is a product inspired by the WiiFree team and other like them. Due to the fact that (WiiFree) code is freely available it is very easy to create your own Wii Mod-chip. Some people however still prefer a quicksolder install. The WiiFreeEasyConnect gives you the option to quicksolder a PIC socket (stuck on a pre-made PCB) the WiiFree while having the PIC and Led's on the outside of your Wii via flatcable connection.
A small sneek at my review;Although this is a space normally filled with information about the chip's performance in this case that would be useless. I can however say that all home-brew chips that I was able to test (WiiFree Yaosim, Wiiskas) worked, so in theory you can indeed put all chips on there provided they are made for PIC 12F629 and have the same pin-out as the WiiFree.
Hope you enjoy the read!

News /release from Gideon34:
I discovered this small play which I found very sympathetic but the installation was too long so that it is pleasant to play. I thus decided to adapt it to the Nintendo DS which with the style was the ideal console.
It is enough to make cross the river to the character. For that, it is necessary to make him take the boards to move them in order to create its way progressively. The number of boards is limited cavity, it is thus necessary to make them follow… because the character to carry only one board at the same time!

News/release from Philip:
Following on from my previous release of Population: Tire, I now present another classic Videlectrix game... Secret Collect. Created for the Strong Bad Email video games as an example of a game on the Atari 2600, it features a red blob that "looks kinda like Strong Bad" collecting yellow blobs that "look nothing like Strong Bad".
Game get!
No DLDI, no nothing... just unzip somewhere useful and run.
I started off the project trying to make the .nds file as small as possible... just 'cause the game seemed to lend itself well to that. I kinda stopped bothering with that halfway through, but it still ended up as only 25kb, which is nice.

News from Spacy51:
Hi there.
I already finished this project a while ago:
dpgmux
A very simple GPL'ed multiplexer/demultiplexer for dpg files.
It either takes seperate MPEG1-Video and MPEG1-Audio streams and creates a DPGv3 file (also writes GOP-List for faster video navigation),
or it takes a dpg file and demultiplexes it into its video and audio stream.
The source code was badly inspired by the original dpgtools' delphi source code. However, I did not actually copy/paste it, since I wrote my utility in M$ compliant C (using secure string functions).
This package also includes several command line encoding scripts for easy video and audio encoding to the right format using ffmpeg. There are also all in one scripts which do the encoding & muxing with just one drag&drop.
I recommend reading the included documentation.
Using ffmpeg & dpgmux, I finally managed to get quite impressive video & sound quality at framerates of 20-25 fps.
Here's the download at Google Code:
http://code.google.com/p/gbxemu/down...2.exe&can=2&q=
Source code is obtainable via SVN at the project page.

New release from Nutki:
Here it comes. Not as many fixes as I expected to put in this release, but did not want to delay it any longer. There is no change to sound core so don’t expect any improvement there.
Remember what I said about no hardware bilinear upscaling in NDS in the last note? Actually I was wrong - you can get it with some simple tricks. So now you can toggle between no scaling / nearest neighbour / bilinear with Y button.
Lameboy DS 0.9
Changelog:
* fixed: joypad register emulation (fixes Wario Blast)
* fixed: GBC hdma (fixes Pokemon Crystal graphics)
* fixed: interrupt flags emulation (fixes Bouble Bobble)
* fixed: V-blank interrupt timing (fixes Altered Space)
* fixed: split window emulation (fixes Donkey Kong graphics)
* fixed: GB timer initialization (fixes Pokemon Pinball)
* added: fake serial interrupts (fixes many early games)
* added: RTC emulation
* added: pseudo bilinear upscaling mode
RTC feature needs more explanation. I tested it with only one game - Pokemon Crystal, so it can be considered beta. The emulated time is always synchronized to NDS RTC and not affected by fast mode. It’s the same behaviour as in VBA and opposite to GNUBoy’s. Also save style is compatible to VBA, with one issue: I think there is no way to check time zone in NDS (as it is not set) so I fixed it to +2h. If your timezone is different you will get timeshift between Lameboy and VBA.

Air Hockey is a small play without claim, which was especially the occasion to make me the hand on excellent PAlib de Molusk. It was necessary me to find a small play on what a I were going to be able to exert me! At the beginning I wanted to make a same-like but the idea with already taken twice! Then I remembered an old play which I played a few years ago. It was a simulation of AirHockey named slam! (if people remembers…).
Then unfortunately I always have 36.000 projects and not time to advance just like I want. But veiled a version 0.1 with already some small things.
History

* To play against a IA
* To choose the limiting score

Lordus has mesaged me this morning to tell me exciting news of a new version of his Genesis Emulator for the Nintendo DS
Heres the release news from Lordus:
As promised, here is the updated version with the newer cpu core.
I decided to split the HW and SW renderer versions, because it makes my life a bit easier...
The SW renderer version is included as a separate binary in this release and features 2 different scaling types:
"Jitter" might look better for action games, "Blend" mostly makes text more readable.
There is also a new option in the HW renderer: Force Update
If enabled, it reduces the chance of tile corruptions, but can also lead to massive slowdowns, if a game updates more tiles than the DS can handle in rapid succession.
So "off" is basically faster. You can however switch to "on" temporarily, if the tiles got corrupted to force a one-time update (Viewpoint).
Hope you like it

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has said he believes the Wii could outsell PlayStation 2 over the course of its lifetime to become the most popular console ever.
"Sony's PS2 sales of 100 million units is an extraordinary number that our home game console business has not achieved," Iwata told Reuters.
"But if we can make our bid to expand the gaming population a continued success, we could exceed that."
More than 120 million PS2 units have been shipped since the console launched in 2000. Nintendo sold 5.8 million Wii consoles between December 2006 and March 2007, and is predicting that a further 14 million will be sold by March next year.
Iwata confirmed that Nintendo's hardware division is already making a profit. He also said the company's strategy of targeting new audiences has been a success.
"I wouldn't say there is no overlap between the group of customers Sony is targeting and the group of users that Nintendo is targeting," Iwata conceded. "But that overlap is quite small."

Hey, can you do us a huge favor? Just try hiding your disappointment when you get to the end of this week's Virtual Console releases. We've had like a million readers come through this post, and we think the way their faces drop when they see third entry is starting to hurt her self-confidence. She can't help who she came in with, try to remember that.
Paper Mario (Nintendo 64, 1 player, 1,000 Wii Points): A spiritual successor to Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, this game is, frankly, fantastic. It combines some really solid RPG mechanics with visual panache. Consider it required downloading if you haven't been through it.
Balloon Fight (NES, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points): Though it may not be as glitzy as Paper Mario, Balloon Fight is still undeniably a classic. The only question is if you'll be willing to part with five bucks for a game that was not only playable in Animal Crossing, but was also, at one point, stored on playing cards.
Silent Debuggers (TurboGrafx16, 1 player, 600 Wii Points): Hey, we warned you, please be nice, this has been a tough day. ... Oh, you're laughing now. That's great. Listen, maybe you're just rushing to judgment. We've embedded a gameplay video after the break, maybe you'll watch it and see that you were wrong all along. She's a totally radical first-person shooter, you'll see!

DWEdit has released a new WIP version of the Nes emulator for the GBA and DS, heres the info:
This version is very buggy, since many changes were made.
I think I already released this version, but now the Boot Glitches which made it almost unreleasable are now fixed!
(yep, I had already released this version 7 months ago... but now there are a couple new fixes)
changes:
* Palette updater fixed, no longer writes out of bounds
* Duck Tales Fix (supports changing 8x8 sprite origin between left and right pattern table per scanline)
* 'dirty tiles' system for CHR-RAM games
* Different code for updating the sprites
* These two together fix sprite glitches in Battletoads, Wizards and Warriors 3, and more.
* Also a buggy and broken dirty tile system for CHR-ROM games
* New per-scanline scrolling code fixes Slalom, horribly breaks Rad Racer
* sprite visibility per-scanline buffer updated in sync with rest of buffers
* Fixed a little bug which caused harmless extraneous memory writes
* Yes it's really buggy. Has a new 'new frame' system which fails in lots of games.

Despite there being very little talk about GBA nowadays, Nintendo honcho Shigeru Miyamoto insists there's still life in the single-screen handheld.
Speaking to Kotaku, Miyamoto says the hardware is still selling well (doesn't every human on earth own seven by now?) and because of that Nintendo is still supplying hardware to the market.
But he goes on to admit that Nintendo's focus has shifted to newer platforms. "[Nintendo's] internal development teams have their hands full with creating content for Wii and DS. We're focusing on that and not creating new software for the GBA at this time."
But he cites the GBA's huge library of games as the key factor that's keeping the old handheld going. "There are still a lot of games on the platform that the current consumer still have not played so there's still life in it yet."
But if you're on the look out for new games, your choices are limited. Crash of the Titans, Avatar: The Last Airbender and a few other movie-licensed games are all that's to come in the foreseeable future.

Nintendo has recalled all copies of Mario Party 8 in the UK due to it containing an offensive word.
The title was released for the Nintendo Wii on Friday and has seen heavy promotion over the weekend with TV advertisements.
"Unfortunately we have discovered that a small number of games contain the wrong version of the disk due to an assembly error," reads a statement from the company.
"We have therefore decided to recall all copies of the game from UK retailers so that this mistake can be corrected."
Last month, Ubisoft was forced to pull all copies of DS game Mind Quiz in Europe after it was found to contain offensive comments.
Nintendo said it will announce a new release date for Mario Party 8 shortly.

Ubisoft and Left Field Productions announced Nitrobike for the Wii last week - a fast-paced motorbike (sorry, "/\/+0]231|{e") racer that aims to repeat the success of LF's own Excitebike 64.
Due out this Christmas, it features lots of rocket-propelled motorcycles darting around against the clock and against other players, with a "unique online mode" promised to back up its offline multiplayer and, of course, one-player offering.
Ubisoft served up some Nitrobike screenshots during E3 to help get you in the mood, but other than that, there's not much to say. Do you want to hear what Jay Cohen, Ubisoft's vice president of publishing, had to say about it?
"Ubisoft is thrilled to be introducing the first Motorcross game available for Wii," is how he began. Then: "Nitrobike's fun and fast-paced gameplay is sure to be a hit for Wii owners for the holiday season." So that was worth it.

THQ has announced it will be bringing de Blob to Wii and DS next February.
Originally created for the Internet by a group of Dutch students, the game challenges you with reviving a dull and monochrome city by rolling a big blob of colour into things. Stylistically it looks similar to the Katamari games, with vivid and cartoon-inspired graphics.
THQ's Australian studio Blue Tongue Entertainment will be creating the Wii version, and its Hexile studio will develop it for DS. Both will be built with each platform's strengths in mind.
"With de Blob's innovative control scheme, a swing of the Wii Remote or flick of the DS Stylus sends de Blob ricocheting and swinging through the city with splashes of colour in his wake," said Steve Dauterman, big cheese of product development.
"Gamers will be able to liberate the lifeless city of Chroma and create a collaboration of energy, music and colour that is a reflection of each player's gaming style."
Pop over to the original game's website to try it out.

EA has released more details for the recently confirmed DS version of Orcs & Elves, an action role-playing game originally conceived for mobile phones.
The extra grunt of Nintendo's handheld has let developer id Software bring in 3D graphics, as well as splash out on more levels, items and monsters from the new Dwarven kingdom area. And touch-screen input is said to be an area the team is keen to get to grips with.
"Orcs & Elves was a perfect fit for the DS," said John Carmack, founder and technical director at id Software. "We were able to take excellent advantage of the 3D hardware and unique user input capabilities, and expand the game to include a lot of wonderful features that we just couldn't fit on the cell phones."
A sequel for Orcs & Elves was also announced by EA, banishing fears that the first game was a one-off pet project for the Doom and Quake developer.
The story here starts as King Brahm is slain on Mount Zharrkarag, putting the fate of the land on your shoulders - a novice thief who has just stolen a legendary wand. You must deliver this magical relic to the town under siege before it's too late, encountering allies, enemies, and lots more new content from seven vast and interactive environments.
"Orcs & Elves II is a polished gem of a game for the mobile platforms, opening up new parts of the world to explore while carrying forward and improving all the elements that were loved about the original game," continued Carmack.
Orcs & Elves on DS and Orcs & Elves II for mobiles are due this Christmas.

New at Divineo USA
The trouble with most games consoles, is you can't modify the game code when it's running. Sure, you can use tools such as Datel's own Action Replay game enhancers to input all sorts of cheats and enhancements, but there's no straightforward way for amateur programmers and techie tinkerers to get inside the disc drive's memory, investigating how it works and trying out modifications and tweaks you've programmed yourself. Thankfully, if you're a Wii owner Datel has come to the rescue with Drive Doctor, the ultimate aid for the hardcore tinkerer and amateur programmer. With Drive Doctor for your Nintendo Wii, you can gain a unique insight into the under-the-bonnet operation of your console, examining, analysing and altering the Wii drive's memory...
Drive Doctor connects to your PC via a high speed USB (cable supplied). It allows you to view and modify the DVD drive’s memory in real-time. Drive Doctor's powerful ARM7 processor, running at 60MHz, makes read and write operations quick and easy. You can then review its innermost operations, watching your Wii software in action through Drive Doctor's PC application. You can even add data of your own, all from your PC. Drive Doctor’s memory and command views give you a unique insight into the innermost workings of your Wii’s drive memory, and even lets you make on-the-fly adjustments. You can read status, write data, send control commands, report the drive status and more. By injecting your own code into the data stream, you can create your own effects and experiment with modifying the program. It’s fun! And as the Wii home brew scene grows and prospers, the device will also come in handy for playing freely-downloadable software straight from your console.
Fitting Drive Doctor requires a little soldering, so make sure you have your precision soldering iron handy (not supplied). Full fitting instructions are supplied. It’s a fairly simple task, requiring you to connect just five wires. After that, the unit just clips to the back of your console. It remains in place even when not in use - just unplug your USB cable and you can use your Wii in the usual way. It's styled to match the console, and completely unintrusive when not in use.

In Disney/Pixar's animated adventure, a rat named Remy dreams of becoming a great French chef despite his family's wishes and the obvious problem of being a rat in a decidedly rodent-phobic profession. When fate places Remy in the sewers of Paris, he finds himself ideally situated beneath a restaurant made famous by his culinary hero, Auguste Gusteau.

First we strong-arm Shigeru Miyamoto into telling us that the GameBoy isn't really sticking around much longer and now NOA's veep of marketing George Harrison is saying they may not ever use the name again.
"This year in our marketing you really won't see much push against Game Boy itself, so it will kind of seek its own level. It's hard to say in the future if we will ever bring back the Game Boy trademark," he told GameDaily BIZ in an E3 interview (full transcription coming soon).
"It was a big risk for us to actually pass on it and call the new product the Nintendo DS, but it was part of Mr. Iwata's philosophy that if we're going to make a radical difference and try to reach a new audience, then we have to change the name... We had to make a break even though we had one of the greatest trademarks in the history of the industry."

Square Enix, a huge supporter of the DS platform, has expressed great interest in the Wii Balance Board and the possibilities for balance control being used it "future RPG titles".
Discussing the use of Nintendo's hardware in Square's games, FFXII: Revenant Wings producer Eisuke Yokoyama told IGN: "There are no actual plans to take Final Fantasy into the fitness genre. But that whole system and mechanism of using your weight and balance to control games is something we're interested in incorporating into future RPG titles," he said.
It'll be interesting to see how a Balance Board-controlled Final Fantasy game would work.

It would have seemed Monolith's unique natural disaster-themed adventure, Disaster: Day of Crisis, had died in a storm because it made no appearance at E3, despite being heavily mooted for a 2007 release.
Day of Crisis, along with Monolith's other Wii exclusive title, Project H.A.M.M.E.R, was among the first games to be unveiled for Wii, and was expected at E3 this year in a near-complete form. So where is it?
"Disaster is still under development," a Nintendo spokesperson told CVG today, but went on to admit "we've shifted development resources from Project H.A.M.M.E.R. You may hear about it in the future, but it's off the schedule for now."

News/release from ThousandKnives
I thought I would post the project I've been working on here. It's just a port of a game I did for a 72-hour competition about 4 years ago. But, I thought it would make a good project to start with to learn how to program for DS.
I started from the DevKitPro template and used LibNDS. It should run on any emulator or actual hardware. It's written in C++. Graphics are mostly by my partners from the competition Jawsh and Pegwo. I had to do a lot of working with them to get it to fit on the DS screen, and added a bunch of new graphics (mostly background tiles). Maps were made using Tiled and a custom program I wrote to convert XML to C headers.
Missing features:
-Saving high scores
-Arm7 sound handler
-Multiple scrolling backgrounds
Although I note these missing features, I pretty much consider this "finished" and will probably move on to another project at this point, but I would appreciate any feedback.

My first Dreamcast release has now become my first Nintendo DS release.
Introducing DreamZZT for Nintendo DS! DreamZZT is an open-source game creation system compatible with Epic Megagames' ZZT engine.
Aside from the Nintendo DS support, this release also introduces experimental support for SuperZZT games. SuperZZT games can be loaded and played, however the SuperZZT-specific enemies are not yet supported, and SuperZZT games cannot yet be saved.
This is a beta release. Be aware that some features may not be fully tested and some bugs may be present. Please feel free to use the bug tracking system on the DreamZZT site to report any bugs you may encounter.
For downloads and screenshots, see the DreamZZT DS wiki page on the DreamZZT site.

Japanese publisher Enterbrain is reporting that more than three million Nintendo Wii consoles have been sold in Japan.
The Wii was launched in Japan on December 2, 2006. Sales of the PlayStation 3, launched in Japan on November 11, 2006, only recently passed the one million mark. The Wii retails for 25,000 Yen, or about half the price of the basic PS3 model.
Enterbrain also reported that sales of Nintendo's DS handheld have eclipsed the 18 million mark. The DS has been available in Japan since December of 2004.

News from Chuck Studios
NDStation is a flasher for the EZFlash 3-in-1 Expansion Pack which allows you to package a ROM within a .NDS file and therefore run it from your Slot 1 flash card's main menu. Its purpose
is to make things feel more integrated and unified on your flash card.
----------------------
Usage: |
----------------------
To use NDStation, run the NDStation.exe included in this package. Some of the functions are self-explanatory, such as choosing the GBA ROM image you wish to use and where you want it to be copied. Game title defines the embedded title in the ROM. The first line is automatically set to the basename of the ROM chosen, although it can
easily be changed. Clicking "Customize the NDS" will open a menu where you can change the icon for the NDS file. A border option is also available but is inactive as border support is not yet implemented in the DS-side application. "Preview NDS" gives you a
rough idea of how the NDS will appear on R4DS's menu. "Go..." builds your .NDS file, and is finished when a message box pops up and says "Complete!" Don't forget to DLDI patch the NDS for your card.

New release of the Puzzle games collection for the DS, heres whats new:
This is a beta version because the new version of the dswifi lib has been integrated, as the new version of PAlib.
And wifi is not working on my DS again.
But I would like to get feedback from you before compiling it with the old dswifi lib version.
So please give me feedback (on forum for instance).
Anyway, in this version I’ve (as expected):
- added icons for Dominosa as requested in the forum
- added icons for Slitherlink as requested in the forum
- fixed bug of ‘online scores’ not available on the NDS (but as wifi is not working for me…)
I’ve also, as requested by LinkinG (king of Daily Challenge), a new feature: when playing, when left icon is selected (so in left click mode), if you stay pressed on L-button the right mode click is enabled. As soon as you’ll release the L-Button, the left click mode will be enabled again. In one word: try to press L while clicking on a game, and you’ll understand This feature doesn’t work on game Sudoku.

Worst part about limited edition DS Lites? You're stuck with it long after the game is out, pigeon holing yourself. Good thing Square Enix's non-Square-Enix-looking game Subarashiki Kono Sekai is getting a custom DS Lite case. This is a very good idea! Peripheral maker Hori is releasing the casing for ¥1,449 (US $12) when the game drops on July 27. Hori's also got a Subarashiki Kono Sekai extendable touch pen if you're into that sorta thing.
In related Subarashiki Kono Sekai, Square Enix still hasn't secured the US rights to the title "It's A Wonderful World," the game's English language moniker. Though, apparently Square Enix's Tetsuya Nomura is dead set on getting that English title so watch as his minions make it happen.

WiiConnect24, a system built into Wii to keep the console constantly connected to the internet when on standby, is reported to be causing consoles to develop faults.
A number of disgruntled gamers are hitting internet forums saying their consoles have broken after being left on standby with WiiConnect24 enabled for long periods of time.
Although Nintendo says the console only consumes a tiny amount of power when in WiiConnect24 mode, supposedly comparable to a small light bulb, the console gets very hot - far hotter than when the console is on and being played - because the internal fans are deactivated in WC24 mode.
is suggested that this heat is cooking the main CPU, causing it to become faulty.
Nintendo has told CVG: "we've had no reports in the UK of anything like this happening," and advises users to contact the Nintendo Service Centre for further advice on 0870 60 60247 should a fault occur.
In the meantime, if you're worried about your Wii burning up, just deactivate WC24 - it's proved to be a non-essestial feature so far anyway.

Games industry icon and developer, Dave Perry, says that Wii's popularity will eventually die down as gamers "drop their Wii controllers" in favour of the more graphically advanced experiences offered by Xbox 360 and PS3.
He went on to predict: "When a game comes out - a game like a Halo or something, something they haven't seen before - they'll drop everything and they'll drop their Wii controllers when it does."
He doesn't seem to be referring to the non-hardcore gamers to which the Wii appeals, who generally aren't willing to spend large amounts of money on the high-performance consoles.
He also had a pop at the Wii's controller interface. "The Nintendo Wii isn't the final solution to that sort of interactive interface. I think we'll always see more and more interesting approaches to interface, and I really don't think the Wii is the ultimate solution to that," he told Disposable Media.

Sega released the first screenshots of Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games at E3 last week, and now you can see the game in motion in the first trailer.
You'll have to forget the videogame logic of the two characters for this one though, because the skills of the two mascots have been levelled out to put everyone on an even playing field.
"Coming under the Olympic banner, I think the Olympics acts as a neutral ground for the two characters," president and chief operating officer of Sega Europe, Mike Hayes, told CVG back in March.
So you'll be seeing Mario and Sonic in competitive races, even though you know deep down that Sonic should finish the race before Mario even starts.
Looks like good fun though, especially in multiplayer, and it'll be out in time for Christmas, too. Look out for our detailed impressions of the demo we saw at E3 soon.

We suspected that the Wii controls would make Jenga significantly more difficult than the real thing, but that isn't the case, according to Siliconera's Spencer Yip. Instead, he found that it often required real effort to make the tower fall down. He tested this by smacking the tower with his virtual hand a few times, which caused shifting, but not collapse.
He was slightly down on the idea of an easier Jenga, but we could see ourselves making it fun for ... a few minutes. Imagine putting every piece on top of the tower so that it sticks out halfway, creating a tower that builds outward at a 45% angle. Can't do that with real Jenga! Seriously, though, the defining image of Jenga is of the tower toppling in a humiliating cacophony and spectacular dispersion of blocks. We don't know if it's going to feel like Jenga without constant failure.

"A few months ago on the Maxconsole forums we came with the idea that there should be a Bittorrent Client that can run on the DS. I had completely forgoten about it until yesterday and I look around and found an opensource mini-library called libtorrent. It is desgined to run on machines with lower than normal resources (like the NDS) and it is opensource which means that porting it should be a bit easier. I am going to check into it to see if I can get it to compile using the devKitARM compiler. Please do note: I am not promising ANYTHING. If I do get the lib to compile I still don’t know if I am going to put a gui on it. Either way you should hear from me again about this in the next few days."

What's better than experiencing the bowel-shaking, wall-rumbling, thunderous bass of a custom made subwoofer? Why, having that bass emanate from perfect replicas of the "question mark" and brick blocks from Super Mario Brothers, (thus making it the perfect thing to play back your recordings of the SMB Tesla coil), of course. According to the owner, the subs sound great, but the low-end gets a little muddy whenever the question mark gets turned into a metal plate.

Well, I finally got the 'OK' from my boss to talk about what I've been working my butt off on..... It's a product for the Nintendo Wii called "PowerSaves".
The Wii Power Saves is PC software and a 512MB SD memory card for $19.99. The SD card comes preloaded with 30+ Power Saves for the Nintendo Wii. So, if you don't have a memory card reader, or don't feel like installing the PC software right away, you can still access a bunch of content right off the bat.
If you're familiar with the Xbox ActionRepaly, you know exactly what I'm talking about when I say "PowerSave". However, if you've never played with the Xbox AR, or have never even heard of it, you're probably saying "WTF is a PowerSave?" Well, it's not the 'pick up where so-and-so left off' game save that you may expect. PowerSaves are unique game saves that have been 'enhanced' to allow gamers to start off with special abilities, extra ammo, health, levels, and some even enable little extras that game developers never expected you to have access to.... Yeah, kind of like the infamous "Hot Coffee" cheat for Grand Theft Auto... but trust me, after all of the ruckus those PS2 codes and the Xbox save caused, I won't be doing anything like that again.
A more appropriate example of a unique PowerSave would be for The Ant Bully. There's no 'programmers cheat' that I know of that will allow you to enable the debug camera mode.... but there's a power save for it. With a press of the 2 button, the camera can be freely moved anywhere in the level, and with a press of the A button your character is instantly transported to that location.... pretty cool, but then again, it's for a not-so-popular game.... ok, how about starting off Super Paper Mario with 999/999 health, 999 coins, 99 strength, and every recipe? What about starting Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition with super health & ammo? Maybe starting off with the best weapons would be a little more fun? Well, I'm workin' on it!

Street Fighter II' Turbo: Hyper Fighting heads up this week's European Virtual Console update, joining the ranks of SNES titles by demanding 800 Wii points for the pleasure of its company. Its little brother, regular SFII, is already available.
Also on the VC this week is the original NES version of Metroid, at 500 Wii points. It's the first of Samus' excellent adventures to appear on Nintendo's downloadable service. Look out for the latest of our Virtual Console Roundups to see how it's aged.
And, finally, there's Silent Debuggers for TurboGrafx-16 at 600 Wii points. Not one I'm familiar with, if I'm honest, but Wikipedia declares that it's another Data East title and a first-person shooter, no less, in which players explore a cargo station in search of treasure. The overall goal is to "debug" a computer to turn off the self-destruct sequence that otherwise dooms you.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl has plenty of surprises in store it seems, and this is one of them: a new mystery gameplay mode that appears to allow you to fight with trophies.
Fans of the previous game will remember the several dozens of trophies that were awarded for completing certain tasks in the game. But in Melee, they were nothing more than ornamental collectibles.
Game creator, Masahiro Sakurai, only partly explains what happens in the new mode, which he files under '???' on the official site. "In this world, trophies fight," he says. "Those are the rules of this world. But... when someone... or something... breaks those rules, the world will pay a terrible price..."
Whatever he means, this mode promises to be something special because the principle of Smash Bros. is that you smash opponents off the stage - where they fall to their death - but the stadium pictured below has no edges, and so nowhere to fall. Interesting...

Since we've already sent both of the other major consoles through the wringer -- along with the two most popular handheld units -- it wouldn't really be fair if we didn't come together as a family and give Nintendo's Wii the most bitter critiquing of its young life, now would it? There's no real debating the fact that this innovative gaming platform has not only become a success in and of itself but fundamentally influenced the way we interact with our devices as well, yet it's certainly far from the perfect product, and there are a number of things we're sure you'd like to see added / changed / removed. For instance, it would pretty sweet if I could use this thing as my DVD player too. Or, why is it so dang hard to befriend someone? And of course, this being 2007 and all, where's that HD already?
Bonus: While no one really complains about this much anymore, as we recall, the name "Wii" wasn't all that well received among haters and fanboys alike when it was first revealed. Since this post is all about changes, we also want to know: if you could go back in time, how would you have branded Nintendo's worldwide hit?

While there doesn't appear to have been any official announcement from Nintendo as of yet, Canadian retailer Future Shop is now offering a new "Crimson/Black" DS Lite, which so far appears to only be available in a bundle with Brain Age 2. What's not clear is if this is exclusive to Canada (or, less likely, exclusive to Future Shop), but it seems like we should be hearing more about it soon enough, as it's apparently set to be released on August 20th (coinciding with the launch of Brain Age 2). While those in the states are out of luck for the time being, our Canadian friends can pre-order order the bundle now (which also includes a nifty carrying case) for $159.99 Canadian (or just over $150US).

Takaishi has posted an updated version of his Ouendan clone.
Heres whats new
In this last version it adds the DLDI because many were complaining which it did not load the bottom, although theoretically does not serve don't mention it the DLDI, because it is not reading anything from FAT. But I leave them here, to have if it works to them. Otherwise, mándenme a mail with the information of the card that uses.
Also I made a great change in the code and to my to seem the circles at least they are synchronous perfectly. Although this change not note much until they compare from half of the level in this version with the rest.
What follows to program is to increase sensitivity of spinner, because at this moment single has 4 points of recognition. I believe that about 32 would have to be well.
As always, doubts, commentaries and suggestions can make them arrive at my mail.
The song at this moment is: Ayumi Hamasaki - Trauma to 6000hz
I hope to be able to add stream of audio being able to raise it 22025hz or something but decent: p.

I just popped into town and was trying to track down the recently recalled Mario Part 8 for the Wii. As previously posted the game has been taking off the shelves in the UK because of the word 'spastic' within the game. I tried everywhere but alas I couldnt find it... that is untill I went into Toys R Us (In Plymouth, Devon) where theyve still got loadsa copies to pick up.
Time for some spastic party action.

Got an old Pokemon Pinball cart laying around? Then you, friend, have a one-way ticket to frugal gaming fun ... with rumble! Xyzzy has just posted a tutorial on Instructables on how to build a rumble pak that fits smoothly into your DS lite GBA slot. Yes, Nintendo released a smaller version of the pak for the Lite, but you'd have to spend money and be like a normal consumer if you did that. With Xyzzy's plans, you can make a mess, destroy a game cart, and probably injure yourself too!

Updated release from Chuck studios, heres the release info:
Wow, version 1.1 already. This one has PSRAM loading for ROMs smaller than 16MB, thanks to a great code snippet by cory1492, and support for a custom borders! Borders have a weird graphical error, but only the first time the NDS is run. I have no idea why.
Also now included is a Linux and Mac GUI written by dg10050. The installer is located at:
http://www.dpgdownloads.com/ndstatio...tation_install And the readme is available here:
http://www.dpgdownloads.com/ndstation/linux/README
Bugfixes are a small graphical hiccup in the GUI and an error in compilations caused by some cheap hacks I used, also in the GUI.
An important note about mixing PSRAM and NOR ROMs:
* * If you run a NOR ROM, then use a PSRAM ROM, your NOR ROM's
* * save will no longer be present on the 3-in-1. To get it
* * back you must run the NOR ROM's flasher again.
The next release should be able to detect if a NOR ROM is already flashed and simply restore the save. Also, border support will be implemented soon. Future plans include compression, something no other 3-in-1 flasher has!

sephiroth ff7 has released a new horizontal space shooter homebrew game for the Nintendo DS.
How to play:
Look at ship.txt to see how the code functions.
Open it with ship_compile to compile it.
Other information:
For the moment the play reads the file only if it is named “ship.shp”
Stage far from advanced, just to show operation.
Separately the idea of the customization, I do not know too what I will do of this shoot' em' up.

The underground scene of game-created music is really thriving, with the latest example to emerge from under the radar being a drum machine hack for a GameBoy. A bright yellow GameBoy, 1MB of flash memory, a serial interface, and a custom ROM is all that's needed to put out some beats: with a little help from some solenoids and flat surfaces, of course. Putting it all together is the hard part, and half the fun we suspect.

News/release from Marovada:
I have made a BASIC interpreter for the Nintendo DS. I call it Wee Basic. It is DLDI compatible and includes a demo BASIC program to show you the available commands and syntax. Best of all you can program on the DS itself.
You can download it freely from my blog: http://freescifistories.wordpress.com/
I will be posting more information on my blog when I get an opportunity, including a more detailed walk through of the demo program.
Note that I cobbled the editor together very quickly & I will have to better it over time & iron out some bugs.
As with all homebrew, use at your own risk.

News/release from Exdream:
Hi!
After I worked for the university on a radial layout for a graph, I had the idea to convert the radial menu from one of my favorite games Secret Of Mana to the Nintendo DS.
In this early version there is only on layer and you can select some icons with the stylus. You can also choose different numbers of icons and change the radius.

Ubisoft has announced that it's bringing CSI to Wii and 360 for the first time ever this autumn.
The game's called Hard Evidence and is being painstakingly pieced together by Telltale Games, the brain behind Sam & Max's episodic crime capers.
The story will revolve around the Las Vegas team from the popular show on telly, featuring familiar faces Gil Grissom and Catherine Willows to name a few. We think it should have been that ginger one with the dramatic voice from CSI: Miami as the star. He's our favourite.
Anyway, the aim of the game is to solve various murders by using a vast array of forensic special moves. Procedures. So you'll be investigating crime scenes for bits of hair and all sorts of things the lazy cops handily skimmed over.
Those of you interested on playing this on Wii will be treated to motion-sensing navigation around various environments, while Xbox 360 owners are promised super-flashy cinematic graphics. Both versions will feature new and specific controls to make catching the bad guys a cinch.
It's also going to be the biggest and best offering so far, with longer cases to solve and more tools at your disposal - taken straight from the TV series, apparently.
It's already been confirmed for PC, and will launch simultaneously on all platforms.

These new NiGHTS screens are pretty and all that, but they're not of NiGHTS flying around, doing his usual gem-collecting trickery.
They look like shots from a CGI intro in which you're introduced to two children, Helen and Will, whose dreams you presumably have to save.

A rather cool release from KeithE:
Here is an application to turn your DS into a motion sensing USB gamepad. You'll need a DS Motion Card or MK6-motion or R6 gold for the motion sensing, and an MK5 (or clone) GBA slot USB linker. Plug all the cards in, plug the USB cable into your computer, and run the application. Presto - a motion sensing game controller.
There is no GUI, and no customization/calibration. Calibration can be done with your OS joystick calibration utility. No drivers for the computer are needed.
I made this several months ago, and was procrastinating releasing it. Darkfader asked for it, so I quickly updated it with the new DS Motion functions.

ThousandKnives has posted a new release of his shootemup for the DS:
You are the Martian- you are BRUTE! You are going to destroy earth and you're starting with this name.
I have uploaded a *minor* update of this game. The widespread feedback on this game has changed my mind about leaving it quite yet- though I'm still not sure how far it will go.
The game now uses Libfat and thus will crash certain emulators (I'm looking at you Dualis). Not sure about slot 2 devices, as I don't own one and so I haven't tested that. Works on my slot 1 perfectly, and will run on No$GBA though scores will be lost after powering off.
In this update:
- Better sound effect support
- Board to keep Top 10 scores & name entry.
- Various map edits
- First boss actions tweaked
- Powerup frequency reduced

If you have your Wii set in WiiConnect24 mode you will be waking up to your Wii's glowing disc tray alerting you to some cool surprises in the next two months, according to teasing statements from Nintendo America honcho, Reggie Fils-Aime.
WiiConnect24 has had minimal use since the console's launch in the last year, but Reggie has said the surprises Nintendo promised at last year's E3 are "still coming".
"We announced at E3 [this year] a new channel: the Check Mii Out Channel. And we still have plans...", teased Fils-Aime.
"The surprise is coming... by the end of September," he goes on to reveal. "I think you'll like this surprise," he told GameHead.

Mario Party 8 was pulled from shelves last week after it was revealed that the game contained the word "spastic" in its script. It will now be re-released next Friday August 3.
At one point in the originally released version of the game, the blue wizard known as Kamek said: "Magikoopa magic! Turn the train spastic! Make this ticket tragic!" Bad wizard.
"The offending word has been replaced at code level and the software reproduced," said Nintendo.
"We are confident we have taken the correct appropriate levels and action necessary and in all new versions of the game there are no issues - however we cannot 100 per cent guarantee that every copy of the initial batch was returned to us and as such there may still be a small number of copies of the game in circulation," Nintendo told MCV.
Look for copies of Mario Party 8: Spastic Edition selling for big bucks on eBay soon.

A test release from Philip:
I'm trying to write an electric tuner for the DS, but I'm having trouble with the timing. Namely, the timers in the DS aren't that accurate - they're well within the range you'd expect from a video game system, but to be accurate to, say, the nearest cent, the timers need to be accurate to ±1/20%... way more than the DS is designed for.
I'd like to think that, with enough calibration, this problem can be gotten around... but it depends on how consistent a DS's timer is, in the same DS... I know from a quick experiment in IRC that WinterMute's DS's timer runs about 2% slower than mine (it reports the sound as about 40 cents higher)... but on the few tests I've run on my own DS, it rarely disagrees with itself more than about a cent. If it's always about the same on a single DS, then running some sort of calibration the first time you run it should be enough.
This is where you need your help:
Download the tuner.
Put the .nds file on your DS and run it.
Put your DS next to your computer speakers, and play the two .wav files in the zip.
Post your results here. Specifically, the reading in the top-right of the lower screen.
Run the tests a few times, and see if you get consistent results... if possible, test it in the middle of the day, and at night... temperature might affect it, depending on how the timers work in the hardware.
If all (or even most) DSs get similar numbers every time, even if they don't agree with each other, then the project can probably go ahead... otherwise, I'll probably have to scrap it, which'll be sad.
So yeah, the more data I have, the better, so if as many people as possible do this for me, it'll be great. I don't think I'm asking much, just run a program, and play a couple of sounds... should take 1 or 2 minutes, at most, at a couple of times during the day.
Oh, and one last thing: The program, as written, isn't particularly good for tuning actual instruments yet, even without the calibration problems... it's good for sine waves, and not much else. That'll get fixed before release... it's just got something in there right now that's simple and works.

Spinal has once again updated his app for the Nintendo DS, heres the details:
A while ago, I created a simple button tester so I could test the keyboard layout of a DS emulator.
After sharing it with the DS community, some forum users had suggested that I add a couple of features and turn the simple button tester into a fully fledged diagnosis tool. Soon more and more people suggested feature that DiagnoSe should have and some of those features have been added. I have had learned a lot from coding DiganoSe and have had fun doing it. I hope that some people find use for this application.
Features include testing
• Direction Pad and buttons
• Touch screen accuracy
• Wifi settings
• Microphone
• Speakers
• Screen lights
• Motion card/pak (sold separately)
• Rumble pak (sold separately)
• DLDI FAT
• SRAM
Also
• Boot GBA game
• Fix stuck pixels
• Reset to card menu (supported cards only)
• Power off DS
• Set screen brightness (DS Lite only, not saved in firmware)
• Battery monitor
• Temperature monitor
• GBA screen select (not saved in firmware)

Have any of you ever heard of a sport called gateball? It's some kind of Japanese croquet-like game for kids. It's also the basis for this week's most out-of-nowhere Virtual Console offering from Hudson. We can only say that because, over the years, we've gotten used to the other, objectively weirder game in which the protagonist throws his tethered head at enemies. The other games are both significantly less whaaa? than either of these: NES Open Tournament Golf and a classic Mysterious Dungeon roguelike. - Mario Open Golf (Famicom, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points)
- Fushigi no Dungeon 2: Shiren the Wanderer (Super Famicom, 1 player, 900 Wii Points)
- Dynamite Headdy (Mega Drive, 1 player, 600 Wii Points)
- Appare! Gateball (PC Engine, 1-2 players, 600 Wii Points)

News from the official site:
I'm planning to release the current version of my Forth (2.0) as a frequently-updated, no-cost beta during August and September. Here is what the pricing scheme will be for the commercial release, which should be in September or November. There will be 3 options for sale:
1. Download binary (256MB image) and .pdf manual - $30
2. Printed manual - $50
3. Mini DVD-R, includes option 1. For people with modded Gamecube's. - $50
A closed demonstration program is planned. I'll put a video online, for people who aren't set up to run GC programs. I originally thought I would make a game and that would be my demonstration but I decided that I'd rather concentrate on making a good game without having to worry it being a good "demonstration" too.
The manual will feature entertaining paragraphs, well-organized diagrams, and reference tables. I'm just mentioning that to prepare people who would be expecting the current popular documentation format which sadly consists of endless step-by-step instructions and obvious yet pretensiously-technical-sounding explanations. (Drivel like "The Position Field lets you modify the current object's Position property." We won't be having any of that here.)
About 6 months after 2.0, 3.0 should be released. 3.0 is going to be a faster, more forgiving, tighter, cleaner, meta-compiling version of 2.0. I have plans to write a seperate Forth that will tap into the 3D and DSP power of the Gamecube and hopefully the Wii. And another for the Windows platform.
The selling points of my programming language are its simplicity and its custom-tailoredness.

Costello has released a rather excellent web browser for the DS, heres the release info:
DSHobro 0.2, aka. DS Homebrew Browser.
Introduction:
-------------
DSHobro is a homebrew that lets you surf the web on your DS. It is based on a PC application that parses web pages, and sends the result to the DS. Version 0.1 alpha was released long ago, in april 07, but was just a tiny demo of the possibilities offered by the PC/DS mechanism. DSHobro 0.2 now takes full advantage of this mechanism and allows you to really surf the web, actually read text and view images (text is clear enough to be read) and so on.
Some of the usual navigation possibilities are available such as the "back"/"forward"/"refresh"(...) buttons. Also, the server application supports multiple simultaneous connections, allowing several people to use DSHobro at the same time, with only one instance of the program.
You may also use DSHobro from a remote location: if you run the server on your own PC, you can surf the web with your DS from any wifi access point (if you know your PC's ip address).
Usage:
------
Step 1: run the "Server.exe" application on your PC. Tweak the settings if you need to, and click the "Start!" button.
Step 2: run "DSHobro.nds" on your DS. Enter your PC's IP address, and the port that you selected during step 1.
Step 3: surf!
Controls:
---------
DSHobro was developped for both right-handed and left-handed persons. You may then use your DS with the hand of your choice.
* Bottom screen: preview ("miniature" version of the web page).
* Top screen: a portion of the web page, with 1:1 scale (zoom 100%).
* D-Pad, or A/B/X/Y for left-handed: horizontal and vertical scroll on the page.
* L/R: swap screens
* Select: display interface
* Start: refresh display
* Stylus: when the bottom screen shows the miniature version of the page, clicking with the stylus focuses the top screen on the zone that you clicked.
When the screens are swapped, a click with the stylus means a real click on the page (ie. clicking on a link, on a button...)
Interface:
----------
These features are similar to a regular web browser:
Back: go back (display previous page)
Forward: go forward (display next page)
Refresh: refreshes page
"Globe" icon: go to http://costello.dev-fr.org to check for updates
Home: goes to homepage, aka. www.google.com
Also, if you press Start, the PC won't actually redownload the web page, but only send the current page again to the DS. It may prove useful when you click somewhere on the page and it doesn't load a new page (ie. opening a frame, a menu, ...)
/!\ WHAT YOU CAN *NOT* DO WITH DSHOBRO 0.2 /!\
----------------------------------------------
DSHobro 0.2 is better than 0.1a, but there are still a lot of things that it can't do.
These things are (among others):
- Enter text in forms and text fields
- View flash animations/videos.
- Use java, activeX or whatever
- Manage bookmarks
- many other things...
All of the above features are not available in v0.2
But it doesn't mean I won't be able to implement them in later versions!

Thoduv has entered 2d mario type game into the Dev-Fr 2007 Coding Compo.
Lapinou is nice a small rabbit "carrotivore" which is, for a reason that nobody until there could explain, wedged in a kind of infernal tower, between two edges of screen. But did not fear for our rodent friend, who although having a little varied food, is rather revived and crafty one. With force of reflexion, this one thus found the solution with its imprisonment: this solution is simple, it acts to go up. To go up? Eh yes, precisely, I hold see strange blocks of grounds as suspended on the medium of the vacuum by a divine force extremely favorable to the survival of the species of the rabbits, which commme know it to you, is necessary for the good regulation of the quantity of carrots in the ecosystem, but in short. More astonishing still, these famous magic blocks seem to show the way, to form a staircase towards the freedom of our dear Lapinou. Then it takes its courage with its two ears, warms up the legs, and starts to leap of blocks in blocks. But horror: it proves that those are rather fragile kind and exhaust themselves quickly under the weight of the rodent doped with the carrot juice... Your mission (if you accept it): incarnate this rabbit in distress, and return to him his freedom.

Tippy has released an awesome looking homebrew RPG game for the DS, heres the release details:
You are Ock the caveman. The dark magician, Dark Magician has been terrorizing a local modern village, infesting the world with monsters everywhere. The bravest warriors have all been slain in an attempt to thwart the monsters and the Dark Magician. All the rational men left refuse to stop the Dark Magician and Merlin, the good magician, being too old, has to call upon someone... so he goes back in time and picks up a caveman. He realizes that cavemen are much stronger than regular men and much dumber than them and with that fact he has chosen upon a caveman to handle these foes and his reward? EVOLUTION! yeah, he gets to become a regular human after evolving for a couple of times.
Be warned though, you cannot unequip/ use certain weapons until you have leveled up a bit and evolved. A first level caveman can only have on a spear. A second level can have a club/spear. And a human can have anything on.
So go ahead and defeat the monsters and mingle with the towns folk. Some of them are only available during certain hours though, and I probably should have added more than a few side quests.
Keys:
Y - start battle if you want. You will randomly encounter thtem though.
A - talk to people/ use stuff
B - cancel
X - when it's highlighted over an item it will show a description of the item
Select - Inventory
R/L - in Inventory, will go to next place like spells or Equipped weapons
Stuff I'll add but didn't have time to:
- Some of the gfx are corrupted since I loaded too much Oh well.
- tHE ITEM descriptions are off for some reason
-Dying. Yeah you never die in here.
-More Battlebackgrounds. As you can see, I'm right near the limit for Homebrew so Icouldn't squeeze in more battle backgrounds and had to stick with 1. In fact I had to get rid of quite a few gfx to get under the 4MB limit.
-Saving. This game is fairly short, so I don't think you even need it.
-Bugs. I didn't test this all that much so I don't know how it'll turn out.
-ColMap in Houses. I kept getting weird bugs so the Collision detection is turned off
in the houses
-More Sound Effects, Like I said, I was running into the limit so I couldn't

MasterDje has released an educational app for the DS, heres the info:
28 years of portable consoles
On the well-known principle of the chronological planks, I tried to point the great stages, the great exits and other evolutions in the field of the wandering play.
Knowing that constraints of order puericultrices obliged me to make as fast as possible, to hold the deadlines, this project of approximately 10j intense (intense engraves) will be altered basic in roof as soon as I have a little time...
Large a thank you with Rene, of www.silicium.org, me having authorized "to borrow" photographs, figures and infos...
Do not hesitate to throw there a glance, the "museum" of data processing is enthralling!

Stravingo has released a weather station app for the DS, heres the translation.
Hello with all,
after having made two plays on DS (Ka-Boom and Setsuzoku No Puzzle), I launched out for my third realization in the development of a utility. Here thus DS Weather Report, which I subjects in the applications category of the compo Dev-Fr. How its name indicates it to anglophone among you, this application enables you to have a station weather in the pocket! You will be able to see the situation current weather on a chart (for the moment limited to Western Europe) which you can make ravel and zoomer. Information weather is downloaded by Wifi near the waiter of The Weather Channel. To make function the application, it is thus necessary to be for Access Point.
You can reach a detailed weather report like with a forecast over 5 days for more than 40000 cities in the world in three manners:
Maybe while clicking on the position of this city on the chart if it is a European city.
Maybe by selecting the city in a list classified by country (2280 European cities).
Maybe while entering directemment its code weather (more than 40000 cities in the world).
This bulletin is posted on the screen top, the duration of remote loading is 1 to 3 seconds.
To obtain weather information of ALL the cities appearing on the chart, press on X. The remote loading lasts between 30 seconds and 1 min. You will then see the temperatures and the pictograms on the chart for all the cities.
The topic "Evolution" of the compo was not expected that for the plays, but my application also answers it since it makes it possible to know the evolution of the weather in real time like its evolution over 5 days
By the way, all the prog is in English (shame one me) but a translation in French is laid down.
Another thing: the program WILL NOT FUNCTION on an emulator because of the requirements in Wifi, to only thus test on hardware.
Controls:
A: Fact of cycling the types of information posted on the chart (names of villes/icônes/températures). The first time that one supports on A, information weather are downloaded if they did not have it déja be by a support on X.
B: Allows to select a city, either in a list of cities classified by country, or while entering its code.
X : Reactualize the temperatures by downloading information of all the cities whose names appear on the chart.
Y : Help and appropriations.
Select : Selectionne the current city as being the favorite city. This information is stored on the linker.
Start : Fact of appearing on the screen top the weather of the favorite city.
L/R : Zoom out/zoom in.
Cross : Displacement of the chart.
Stylet : Selectionne a city on the chart, selectionne a city in the list, etc.
Installation:
1) Take the format of ROMANIAN corresponding to your linker (either DSWeatherReport.nds, or DSWeatherReport.sc.nds)
2) Patchez the ROMANIAN with DLDI.
3) Copy the ROMANIAN from your linker, as well as the file "cities.dat" to place in the same repertory.

News/release from Syntech
Since I couldn't find a stop watch program for my NDS I decided to hack one together myself. Based on the Timer Demo from Chris Liu, which I found here, I created StopWatchDS.
The .gba file runs under NO$GBA Emulator, the .nds file runs on my R4.
Since this is my first program for the NDS, it is only text based (sorry, no fancy graphics ).
Well, not much more to say about it for now.

Schyzophrenic has released a Quiz game for the DS, heres the release info.
In the train I embetais myself maliciously while returning of my week end in my parents. I look at then around me. What do I see? A girl behind a magazine! Which is you the report/ratio will say to me? The magazine pardi! (and the girl a little also Azn)
To sail on the current wave of the feminization of the video game, like working actively for the bringing together of the geeks with young people and pretty young ladies of the external world, I developed SpsychoD (pronounce SpsykoD): a simulator of tests!
Yes, yes, of the tests as in our preferred magazines Cheesy
Now you can make tests with several or as a recluse with your small DS! More need for coltiner the large BIBA with full with pub to make the test. Finished insatiable research and the unutterable frustration of the research of the lost pencil! Azn
Now SpsychoD is there and the life to the extreme will simplify you! Wink
Imagine, at the edge of the beach, the feet in water and in charming company... You will be able to make the test with two without needing to take along a trunk with you Smiley
Operation is simple: you choose a test, you answer the questions and you read the résutlat! It is all http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/2...nstitremf2.png
To make its lifespan interminable, you have the possibility of creating YOUR own tests. With this intention, it is enough to fill the form, to put it in the repertory "Files" located at the same level as your Romanian and of launching PAFS.bat! And your test is available in the application.
This release is only available in French but can be downloaded at the official Release Thread

News/release from Sumiguchi :
Here is a game that DayDream and I made for this competition. It is a space shoot'em up game. You must battle through waves of enemies to save Trinity and all of humanity.
Characters
There are two playable characters and you must progress through the game as both characters. (Progress for each character is stored seperately) There are some difference - primarily in the bombs. Alice has radial bomb controlled by the stylus and Mortymer has guided missles also controlled by the stylus.
The game is easier if you play as Alice but I think you can get higher scores with Mortymer once you master your bomb navigation technique.
Modes of Play
There are 10 missions, 10 Zones and 2 training missions to play. Missions allow you to unlock new areas and upgrade your ship. In Zone, you always start with basic weapon capabilities and can *ahem* evolve by collecting power ups. Be sure to enjoy the stereo sfx with headphones. Audio options are in the pause menu during gameplay
Evolution
There are multiple levels of evolution in this game. You will see it in the story and through some funny naming references, but also throughout the missions you will see you ship & capabilities evolve. In intense battles you will see the explosions evolve into massive blasts. Once you have upgraded your ship by playing through the missions, the upgrades persist with you - so you can go back and play Mission one with all the new capabilities. So in this way, the game really evolves to allow you to max out scores.
I hope you will submit your scores online to show your capabilities in case of a similar strike against Earth.
Requires DLDI Patching

Kukulcan has released a new quizz game for the Nintendo DS, heres the details:
After having created Necro-Quizz, my friend ***al gentillement asked me to create Quizz on the literature, and considering that I did not have really project which justified me, and which I could not too what carry out for contest DEV-FR, I considered that it was a good idea while sticking to the théme evolution. What enabled me to learn has to draw directly on a screen, has to use rotations and zooms on the sprites and some other small things.
Quiz:
A series of 20 questions will arise at you on a total of 1500, and will have you the choice between 4 answers, only one is the maid of course.
A histogram of your evolution will take shape in real time on the screen top.
In red the bad answers and in green will be represented the good answers.
So that the histogram is clearer, the red and green colors, are equipped with 2 nuances which are posted in turn for a better legibility.
A histogram to know the evolution of the percentage of good answer is present on the screen top and on the right.
And when you pass the battery of the 20 questions you have the right has a synthése your answers, with a comment for the 21 possible notes (0 to 20).
To help you, at the end of 30 seconds a flash viendrat to erase a bad answer, and if you wedge always, 30 seconds later a news bad answer will be unobtrusive. No penalty for the flashes, such was my choice and no possibility of activating them earlier.
Stats:
Screen top:
You will be able to look at your evolution on 20 parts.
Screen of bottom:
They are the stats of all your parts, with the total of the number of part, your best score, the worst score, the total number of good answer, the total of bad answer, and the total of appeared flash.
Infos:
To answer the questions you can use either the Stylet or buttons X Y B or A.
Run of the Left background = Pad or Right Pad
To change the form of the background (4 forms available) = High Pad
To change the color of the background (6 colors available) = Low Pad
R = Music On/off (2 musics available)
Sadly the game is only in french, download at official Release Thread

News/release from Rema
I have the honor to present PanikGastrik to you, my very first homebrew, and precursor of a new kind on DS: the homebrew scatologic!
More seriously, it is about a puzzle them experts will have recognized that it is about a remake of the famous play “Hour Rush” - but with excrement.
Scenario:
You are in the middle of the intestine grèle of a student to the doubtful diet and. in short, it is panic there inside, you will have to make evacuate our hero (Mister excrement) in direction of the rectum, and this, with less possible movements (eh yes, one avoids the saltos when one with the runs generally)!
How to play:
The play is entirely playable with the stylet (or with the fingers for more pleasure, cf higher).
Other information:
Obviously, the play is coded with best the lib of the world, alias PAlib which it is too well this lib coughed.
Moreover, I use lib EFS of noda for the safeguards, with the result that bein… it appears that it is usable on emulator, but me I cannot make in any case.
/! During the first launching on hardware, the splashscreen can remain posted a certain time (~30sec max) because it is at this time that one initializes the brothel for EFS (to speak in technical terms).

News/release from yJay:
So, here comes my first nds-project and first submition to a compo. Hope you like it
Is the mathematic chaos theory also fascinating you and you got an NDS?
So here comes something for you're keen to download!
ndsMandel is a fractal browser for the NintendoDS. It's been compiled on a Dell Inspiron 1501 using devkitPro 1.4.4 and PAlib 070717beta.
It currently features the world famous Mandelbrot set displayed as a fractal, aka Appleman which is infinitely browsable and whose colour and details (how many different steps within the iterations are marked) is customisable. Also ndsMandel supports saving the current screen to disk by using DlDi (please not that this function is still untested as I do not own a NintendoDS yet), so please patch it for your hardware and report your experience here.

Looking to collect a little acceleration / braking data on the cheap? Even if you're just scouting alternative uses for that oh-so-handy Wiimote, a recent project from klee just may suit your fancy. A proud owner of a 2000 Volkswagen Jetta managed to rig up a Wiimote-based tracking system that gathered information on g-forces, acceleration, turning, and overall speed, and thanks to a little Excel computation, the results are neatly graphed once the outing concludes. Of course, you may need a little help in the script writing department, by judging by the looks of things, most everything you need is awaiting you in the read link -- you know, except your own Wiimote and a Vee-Dub.

In an interview with Dean Takahashi, Shigeru Miyamoto said that Nintendo may introduce some new characters next year "in the same way [Nintendo] came up with Pikmin when [they] introduced the GameCube." While that's all well and good for getting us pumped for The Next Big Thing, we're more interested in Miyamoto's explanation of why it's taking so long.
"I guess I don't necessarily see my job as creating new characters as it is creating new experiences," he said, later adding, "For characters, we came up with the concept of the Miis and that allows people to come up with their own characters." So don't forget you read it here first, the next big Nintendo characters are Chuck Norris, Kenny, Dr. Zoidberg and, of course, indie rockers Wilco. Wow ... the next Smash Bros. is going to be awesome.

Team Cyclowiz have updated their firmware for the Wii Modchip:
Official firmware version 3.5 was just posted in the support section, with dual layer media support. CycloWiz supported dual layer media since day one, but the 3.0 upgrade partially broke it (only the first layer could be read), so only users that didn't upgrade are able to read dual layer media for now. The new firmware fixes this issue. We'll make sure it doesn't get broken in future upgrades. We've made a simple test program to help us in that task: it checks if both the first and the second layer of a dual layer disc could be read. You can also find it in the support section, burn it on a regular DVD+/-R disc
The laser power may have to be tuned before beeing able to read DVD+R DL media (as with DVD-RW media). Less than 50% of test Wii we have can read those discs without any tuning. There is a variable resistor on the optical pickup head itself, that needs to be lowered. In our tests, the original value was typically around 700-800 Ohm, and we had to lower it to around 500 Ohm, but this might be different on each drive. Just make sure you don't go below 50 Ohm or so.
By the way, the test tool is not CycloWiz specific and can be used to test any modchip, it'd be interesting to see which ones are DL compatible. As of today, all of the commercial Wii games are released on single-layer discs, but the drive firmware supports dual layer discs .

Though Nintendo UK denies that it has received any reports of Wiis being bricked due to the WiiConnect24 service, you can never be too safe with any $200+ investment. Xtremetuner has created a hardware mod with the specific intention of guarding the console from overheating while it is in standby mode.
WiiControl acts as an external interface that monitors and displays the temperature of the system on its LCD screen. When the mod detects temperatures beyond 35°C, it automatically activates the Wii's fan, even in standby mode. An audio warning will also notify the user if the temperature ever exceeds 44°C. The fan is disabled once the console has cooled down to 30°C.

Action gamers and masochists (two sets whose Venn diagram, we imagine, contains a fairly large intersect) will be very happy with today's Japanese Virtual Console update, which provides one of the most painfully, awesomely difficult action games we can think of. Seriously, good luck holding on to that golden armor long enough to actually use some magic.
Oh, also there's another N64 game, which is something of a rare event! This week's Virtual Console releases are:
- Dai Makaimura (Ghouls & Ghosts) (Mega Drive, 1 player, 600 Wii Points)
- Wave Race 64 (Nintendo 64, 1-2 players, 1000 Wii Points)
- Power League 4 (PC Engine, 1-4 players, 600 Wii Points)

The easiest way to find out whats best is to let others tell you and to newcomers to the DS Homebrew community you dont want to be spending money on a product thats hard as hell to use.
So and this is asking all DS users, what in your opinion is the best flash cart for the Nintendo DS at this time?
