In response to MCV’s news yesterday that many companies are continuing to sell R4DS and other DS piracy devices despite the recent court ruling that illegalised the activity, Nintendo has issued a warning to the offending retailers.
“The message is the same to companies big and small, these activities are illegal,” a spokesperson at Nintendo UK told MCV.
“We will continue to work alongside ELSPA, Trading Standards and the police to enforce the recent UK High Court judgment and pursue companies who persist in unlawfully selling these devices.”
Yesterday MCV spoke to two retailers who admitted to uncertainty regarding the R4’s legality, though both remained willing to sell us the devices.
Their details have been now been received by both Nintendo and ELSPA.

Serebii.net has a quick explanation of how you’ll be transferring Pokémon over from previous games to Pokémon Black & White. This is done through the use of an ingame feature called the “Pokéshifter.”
Located somewhere within the Isshu region is a building — similar to the Pal Park from Hg/Ss and Di/Pe/Pl — that will allow you to connect with previous games, provided you have two DSes. Once you connect, an option will appear in the Gen IV games to allow you to complete the transfer. You’ll be able to move six Pokémon at a time, although, there’s no mention of whether there are any limits per day (or any other timeframe).
Capturing the monsters on the Black & White end involves a minigame where they’ll pop out of a set of bushes on the DS’s top screen. Using the touchscreen, you’ll need to aim a reticule to shoot a Pokéball with a bow (a…Bowkéball?) to capture them.
The minigame in Black & White will require you to adhere to its time limit.

News via http://emu-russia.net/en/
Super Nintendo emulator has been updated recently. Changes:
- fixed a small error in the source that resulted in the PPU not synchronizing properly to the CPU.
Major features in this release are: serial controller emulation, a brand new scheduler that supports multiple simultaneous coprocessors, and accuracy improvements.
The serial controller is something devised by blargg. With the proper voltage adjustments (5v-9v), it is possible to wire an SNES controller to a serial port, which can then be used for bidirectional communication between the SNES, and (usually, but not only) a PC. The support in bsnes was added so that such programs could be debugged and ran from within an emulator, and not just on real hardware.
The scheduler rewrite was meant to allow the combination of coprocessors. It was specifically meant to allow the serial controller thread to run alongside the SuperFX and SA-1 coprocessor threads, but it also allows fun things like MSU1 support in SuperFX and SA-1 games, and even creating dev cartridges that utilize both the SuperFX and SA-1 at the same time. The one thing not yet allowed is running multiple instances of the exact same coprocessor at the same time, as this is due to design constraints favoring code inlining.
There are two important accuracy updates. The first is that when PAL video mode is used without being in overscan mode, black bars are shown. Emulators have always shown this black bar at the bottom of the screen, but this is actually incorrect. resxto took pictures from his PAL TV that shows the image is in fact vertically centered in the screen. bsnes has been updated to reflect this.
Also interesting is that I have backported some code from the dot-based PPU renderer. In the game Uniracers, it writes to OAM during Hblank, and expects the write to go to a specific address. In previous releases, that address was hard-coded to go to the required memory location. But the way the hardware really works is that the write goes to the extended attribute address for the last sprite that the PPU fetched, as the PPU is still asserting the OAM address bus. Now, due to the precision limitations, I was not able to also port timing access during the active display period. However, this is sufficient to at least remove the last global hack from the older, speed-focused scanline renderer.

News via http://hackmii.com/2010/07/hackmii-installer-v0-7/
Update: I’ve just uploaded v0.7b of the installer. The only change is a small bugfix in the installer itself, and only very few people ran into this. If you could successfully install either The Homebrew Channel or BootMii, there is no need to reinstall again, both are unchanged compared to v0.7. If you had problems before, please try again with this version. The download links and the integrated update feature in HBC itself have been updated for this bugfix.

Pate has released a new version of his Dos Emulator for the DS, heres whats new:
This version has the refactored internals, so it most likely runs some (if not all) games slower than the previous versions. It does however now support practically all real-mode 286 CPU opcodes (not including JPE and JPO which require game-specific hacks), and also unsupported graphics opcodes should now be quite rare. The graphics opcodes are now reported as Unsupported EGA opcode or Unsupported Mode-X opcode, and unlike in previous versions, you can continue after such an opcode using the B button. However, it is likely that you will get the same error again and again, so please send me the log file if you encounter unsupported graphics opcodes. If you get a plain Unsupported opcode error, it most likely means that the program is executing data instead of code, so something has gone wrong in the code before this happened, and thus it is not possible to continue running the program. Again, I am interested in the log files produced in these situations.
Besides the refactored internals, this version has various other fixes, based on many games and other programs I have been testing. Here is a list of the programs I tested, and the changes made into DSx86 or other information about why the program fails to run properly.
Alcatraz, Terminator 2 - Judgment Day, Prehistorik and SimFarm all had various palette problems. I debugged each of these, and noticed that they each failed for different reasons, so in the end I decided to rewrite the 16-color palette handling in DSx86 completely. Now at least those games have correct palettes, so hopefully this change fixes the other games with palette problems as well. The palette handling is still not completely correct, as only the first 64 palette registers are supported in 16-color modes. This is OK for EGA emulation, but some VGA games might use special palette tricks that might still fail.
B.A.T. 2 was freezing. This was caused by the game trying to detect AdLib using Timer 2, while I have only emulated Timer 1 behaviour (and even that one pretty badly). I improved the AdLib timer behaviour, but they still don't work properly. I have run out of Nintendo DS hardware timers, so I need to figure out a way to combine some of the existing timers or use the ARM7 timers from the ARM9 side for some less critical timing operations. In any case B.A.T. 2 now does not freeze, but it seems to run some parts of the intro far too fast. I also found and fixed a problem in the 640x480 mode blitting code when testing B.A.T. 2.
Battle Chess 4000 is reported on the compatibility list as crashing after moving a cursor, however moving the cursor seems to work fine for me, both in D-Pad and touchpad mouse mode. So, I can not debug the possible problem.
The Clue! has been on the compatibility list for a long time, so I finally decided to look into it. I found out that the crash is caused by a bug in the game. The game checks whether the system has an XMS memory driver, and stores the call address of the driver if it has. However, if a driver is not found, it still tries to call the driver, which then causes a null pointer call. I verified this behaviour in DOSBox by making it report no XMS driver, and the game crashed in DOSBox as well. So, this game won't work until I implement XMS memory handling.
Curse of Enchantia hang in 0.21. This was caused by a bug in my refactored CMPSW opcode. I fixed that opcode and Curse of Enchantia began to work properly again.
Darkseed uses an internal flag in it's timer INT8 handler to prohibit re-entrance of the interrupt routine. However, it calls the BIOS INT8 routine with interrupts enabled, so it is possible that the next timer interrupt will happen at this phase, and if it does, the game does not perform an End-Of-Interrupt handling properly. This caused DSx86 to stop sending new timer interrupts, causing the game to hang. I fixed this by turning interrupts off in the BIOS INT8 handler before reporting the End-Of-Interrupt, so a new timer interrupt can not happen until the code has returned from the interrupt handler completely. This seemed to fix the Darkseed hanging problem.
Jazz JackRabbit and Tyrian 2000 began failing with a "At least a 286 processor needed" error in 0.21. I found out that Windows 3.00a only uses one protected mode opcode to differentiate between a 286 and 386 processors, so I implemented that opcode and reverted back to the original 286 CPU behaviour, so these games should now detect a 286 processor again.
Maupiti Island behaves somewhat strangely. Running the maupiti.bat it first runs maupan1.exe, which basically just reserves all memory and then returns with a Terminate-and-Stay-Resident call. However, since it has reserved all memory, there is no room for 4DOS to load itself back from the EMS swap, and thus 4DOS crashes with a memory error. Not running the maupiti.bat but running the start.com directly performs an INT F2 call (which probably would be handled by the TSR program), so it crashes when the TSR program does not exist. This I need to debug further to see if it really is incompatible with 4DOS or if DSx86 does something wrong.
Nomad I quickly debugged and saw the graphical glitches, but did not have time to work on it any further. It is on my TODO list now, though.
Princess Maker 2 seems to work fine, even though it is reported as crashing with an unsupported opcode. I could not get it to crash in version 0.21 either.
Raiden had a couple of problems, it uses the VGA Mode-X VRAM as a continuous wrap-around screen area (same as what Commander Keen does in EGA mode), which was not properly supported. I fixed this, so there should be no flashing scanlines any more (this same problem was probably in Alien Breed as well, but I haven't tested that). Another problem in Raiden is that it wants to use the horizontal smooth scroll (like Supaplex etc do in EGA mode), which again is not yet supported in Mode-X. This problem I will try to fix in the next version.
Return of the Phantom crashes after the intro. It also shows garbage on the screen when it crashes. I did not have time to debug this further, but it is now on my TODO list.
Return to Zork is reported to fail in the VGA detection, but I could not even get it to run that far before it ran into a 386 opcode. Perhaps I have a wrong version of the game.
Robocop gives an unsupported INT call. It attempts to use the BIOS - SET EVENT WAIT INTERVAL (AT,PS50+) call, which is not yet supported in DSx86. I would like to add support for that, but this again would need another hardware timer, so I need to do some hardware timer combining to support all these additional PC timers.
Shadows Over Mordor uses a JPE opcode, and in such a way that it is impossible to code a hack for it into DSx86. So, this game will sadly go to a list of games that will not run in DSx86, most likely not ever.
SimFarm is reported to give a "Sound hardware not found" error. I could not get this error to happen, when using "SoundBlaster 2.0" setting for music and digital effects. DSx86 emulates SoundBlaster 2.0 (not Pro), so if the game offers several SoundBlaster options, use that setting.
Sleepwalker is reported to give an unsupported opcode at startup, but I could not get that to happen. I played it for a little bit, and noticed that it attempts to set a tweaked screen mode with less than 200 rows, the bottom rows of which show as garbage in DSx86. This does not affect gameplay, but I'll see if I can get rid of this problem in the upcoming versions.
Superhero League of Hoboken performs a null-pointer call, which results in an unsupported opcode. This I did not have time to debug further, but it is now on my TODO list.
Tanx crashed with unsupported port I/O error. The game wanted to setup the programmable interrupt contoller into Auto-EOI mode, which was not supported. I added support for this mode, so the game should not crash any more.
Windows 3.00a. I checked what it requires from the EMS driver, and added the required features, and got it to use EMS memory. However, I had to comment out these changes in the end, as it looks like Win 3.00a wants to execute the programs directly in the EMS memory block, and this is not supported in DSx86. Adding support for running code in EMS memory window would slow down all real-mode code execution, so I don't want to do that. Instead, I am looking into the possibility of adding proper protected mode support at some point. So, no change in the Windows 3.00a behaviour in this version.
Wizardry 6 is supposed to crash with an unsupported opcode on the title screen, but I could not reproduce this. It seems to run fine, also in the 0.21 version.
This was the last week of my summer vacation, so after today it is back to the normal slow progress with DSx86. I won't have much time to work on DSx86 during weekdays, so I can not get all that much done during each two-week period. I am glad I got the internal refactoring done during my summer vacation, though, as that was quite an extensive change. I had to change pretty much every single opcode that I have been spending the last year coding.

Here is the latest version of the N64 Myth menu - v1.1. Changes include:
Fixed crash when you pressed A or B with no games in the game list.
Fixed crash when you started a game from the SD card before the game info was fetched.
Changed save type and CIC type options to show what they are instead of just a number.
If you have a Neo2-SD or Pro and run the game from the SD card, reset to game works for all games. Still trying to figure a way to do than from game flash in a compatible manner. This feature requires you to have the menu burned to the N64 U2 menu flash.
Added ability for N64 U2 menu to automatically run menu from the GBA menu flash or the SD card. If you run the menu from the GBA menu flash in the first place, it will also check for the menu on the SD card. This creates about a 3 second delay when you don't have an SD card (flash only cart, or no SD card in the cart). Basically, you want to burn the v1.1 menu into the N64 U2 flash, then all minor updates can simply be run from the SD card (or GBA menu flash for flash only carts).
Please read the readme for all the details.

ThatOtherDev offers version 1.1 of its tech demo "Two Point Five" , a 3D maze . The author uses the same technique used in old DOS games like Wolfenstein 3D, Rise of the Triad and Doom he prefers designer 2.5D .
I wanted to update Two Point Five ( A Little Thing demo 2.5d first person I Had done ) a bit . But It seemed to Have Been One Of The Two or Three Wii games That I forgot to backup Past Before a hard drive reformat and reinstall windows . SO INSTEAD I just remade it .
Its Pretty Much The same but with a few " Improvements and additions. The walls are textured ( Used the texture is' Blue ceramic wall tile seamless ' by aubergene ) , There Is Also collision detection and classic controller support .
Did it really take long Remaking it . Starting from scratch isn't really a big deal When You Are not Actually starting from scratch . Its a collage of Borrowed code . As with the original Two Point Five level the IS generated using the Saami maze generation function I wrote for my Aptly named Maze Generator. With the original It Was my first time doing Anything with raytracing and What I ended up writing a tone of trigonometry Involved (Which is slow ) goal this time I just borrowed from James McNeill 's awesome grid based raytracing example. The collision detection IS desired exactly the same as It Is in the more recent release of Maze Generator WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY Sámi the Square is nice circle collision system I wrote for Swing Ball and Have Been Pretty Much Everything for using SINCE.
v1.1 - August 1 , 2010
* Walls are textured now .
* collision detection ( solid walls are now ).
* Added classic controller support .

LaPatateInc has posted an entry into this years Neoflash Coding Contest, heres the full details;
Nickname: OBJECTION! (Aka LaPatateInc)
Projet name: Super Extreme Smile
From: Quebec, Canada
Division: GAME
Platform: NDS
Original enter: YES
Support Motion: YES
In last NEO Compo this project have won in the top 10: NO
Project description:
Last year, I've entered with You Have to Burn The Rope DS, which was a remake of a flash game. I've added a couple of new cool functions, like achievements and mods. I was done with PaLib. This year, I wanted something fresh with an original concept, and to use libnds directly. Here comes Super Extreme Smile.
In this game you are a Smile. A rolling smile... It cannot move, the only way to move it, is to use the touchscreen to ROTATE ALL THE WORLD AROUND IT. The smile is affected by gravity and thus, moving. Every time you rotate the screen, it keeps it's original velocity. Now the fun thing :
You can create your map, save them on the DS, load them again, and send them here, right in this post, so we can all play it ^^
The editor is easy to use. Each tiles are sampled on the top screen, and you can switch screen by pressed L or R. Then you can change tile, zoom, save, load or move around on the minimap. Here is some infos :
-Development started June 28th, I'm alone on this project. My little sister will probably compose music for me.
-There is currently 47 Tiles, there is enough place to put more, but I think it's OK for a Alpha Release. Each tiles should explain itself. If you don't understand it, try it !
-You can save with whatever name you want, 16 characters maximum. And you can always change it afterwards with Windows because loading doesn't care about your name
-Maps are 128x64 tiles. Yes, there is a lot of place
-Collisions should all work, be aware there are sometimes bugs with velocity too high. If something REALLY doesn't work, tell me. Else, try to think of another way (More space between ?)
-THIS IS AN ALPHA RELEASE, I PLAN ON ADDING A LOT OF THINGS LATER (as Music, Sounds, Campaign mode, options, and, yes, ACHIEVEMENTS).
-You can change language with Start while in editor. There is currently only French and English, if someone wants to translate in another language, I'll be pleased to send them the text and add them to the game.
Screenshots :
How to use:
Extract the file directly on the root of your DS or
Copy the .nds file wherever you want, then place the smile folder on the root of your card.
CONTROLS :
Select - Change mode.
The game :
Touchscreen - Move
L or R - Stop Time (Use this)
Motion - Move (While time is Stopped with L or R (not with Touchscreen), DS must be vertical )
Down or B - Restart from checkpoint
Up or X - Restart from start
The editor :
L or R Unpressed :
Arrows or ABXY - Move
Start - Change language in rotation
Touchscreen - Place tiles.
L or R Pressed (Top screen swapped) :
Touchscreen - Every control (Change tile, save, load, zoom, move around faster)
If you create some kind of cool map, post it here.
If you find a bug, an explanation and a map containing the bug would be really cool.
Thanks, I hope you'll have fun !

Nintendo has already confirmed that development of the Wii 2 is well underway. But don’t expect any more information than that for quite some time, as president Satoru Iwata has told investors that the silence to ensure that the mystery tech will be a surprise.
“We are of course studying and developing the next console to Wii,” he stated. “However, there is a big difference between studying a product and announcing what it is and when we will release it.
“I am afraid to say that the history of entertainment is also the history of imitation. A great idea will promptly be copied unless protected through patents. At the same time, it is really important for our business to positively surprise people. Will you be surprised by our completed product if we told you how it is surprising three years in advance?
“Therefore, we basically disclose information on our products as late as possible. We believe this is the best approach for the entertainment products we are developing. Again, we are planning the next products for Nintendo's continuous growth, but we cannot tell you what, when and how we will release it here. Thank you for your understanding.”

I'll admit it: At first, as my clammy hands clutch its radiant wide screen, I'm not blown away by the Nintendo 3DS.
I'm taking in the new Mario Kart. Of course, it looks great - and, lo and behold, is in full 3D without the need for glasses.
But that's what I expect to happen, having chomped my way through a million and one E3 hands-on write ups.
Where's the jaw-dropping, the mystifying... the magic? Is the impressive-if-functional experience before me really enough to justify another £200+ handheld?
Nintendo's been coy on the price, but we know 3DS is going to be in the current range's 'architecture' - so it doesn't take a genius to work out the hit my wallet will have to take come launch day.
Before I know it, however, boulders and baddies started falling towards the screen. As Mario and Luigi screech out of the various obstacles' paths - and the former lobs a pin-perfect banana on his Brother's bonce - I get it. The 3DS's sorcery has claimed another victim.
The 3DS isn't about making old games prettier, I realise; it's about adding a whole new layer of depth to how we play, judge and perceive video game worlds.
In 3D, you can accurately judge the distance of an upcoming checkpoint, ramp or projectile. Timing a corner perfectly in a racing game becomes that much more natural; platforming suddenly feels tangible.
Those lucky (and wealthy) enough to own a 3DTV will know all this already, of course - but in my experience, the 3DS's brand of 3D seems even more fulfilling than the glasses-dependant equivalent.
Of the games and videos I try, the most impressive are Resident Evil - which looks absolutely stunning - and Kid Icarus, whose developers have evidently had longer than anyone else to get to grips with the hardware.
As I play on, many elements of the 3DS hardware itself surprises me. For one, the 3D slider doesn't work like the significant depth-tweaking tool I expect, but rather a 'tuner' to set the 3D effect just right for your eyes.
I can't see bugger all to begin with, but setting the 3D slider to about the halfway point provided a perfect effect, free of the distortion caused by having it up full whack.
The slide pad (that's the 3DS's version of a thumbstick) feels far better than the shallow 'clicky' experience I predicted.
Although there aren't really any games on show at my London demo frantic enough to demand a workout of the kit, the 3DS slide pad is not disorientating to use. Indeed, it feels more precise than the PSP's often cumbersome thumb nub.
On that subject, there sadly isn't much for press to actually play on 3DS yet - it's all mostly interactive 'videos'.
Pilotwings, however, is one impressive hands-on demo available. Flying through hoops in 3D is a whole lot easier than it was on Super Nintendo.
The new game takes place on Wuhu Island, which you may remember from Wii Sports Resort. The demo allowed two short challenges, one involving the aforementioned plane-and-hoop trial, and another involving popping balloons with a jetpack.
The sense of momentum added to this style of game by the 3DS is what first grabs you. Jetting over a building feels more physical. It opens my eyes to the potential for a whole tonne of classics to be reinvigorated by the extra perspective.
The second game I properly 'play' isn't exactly hardcore - Nintendogs + Cats. Despite the name, there's no felines in this demo. It shows off another of the 3DS's features: facial recognition.
Calling over my pup and sticking my mug close to the screen causes him to 'lick' my face. Likewise, tilting my head causes him to do the same (though buggering up the 3D illusion slightly in the process, admittedly). I make a firm decision: I'm NOT going to be playing this on the tube.
As you can probably imagine, lobbing a tennis ball, swinging a Frisbee and hoofing a boomerang become instantly more compelling when enhanced by Nintendo's gorgeous tech.
The question is, will developers explore the potential gameplay enhancements 3D could introduce - such as those seen in Pilotwings - or will they simply put out a bundle of gimmicks?
It's too early to make a final judgement at this stage, with a lack of hands-on demos throwing up a big question mark: After all, it's much easier to make 3D gaming look revolutionary with an on-rails video.
What's for certain is that the 3DS is the most exciting thing to happen to gaming in a long time. And if I was to put my money on anyone getting it right - and offering that all-important value for money - it'd be Nintendo.

We never get tired of playing the classics, and we never get tired of new ways to play those classics -- especially hand-crafted portable ones. A modder by the name of loveablechevy has been working on this custom creation for over two full years now, a combination of a RetroDuo gaming system, providing NES and SNES compatibility, with a PSOne portable screen and a whopping 4,250mAh battery. The resulting creation, shown in a video after the break, looks to be on the beefy side, but we would definitely make room for it in our backpacks.

Capcom's investor Q&A for the last fiscal quarter doesn't just look back on the company's recent stumbles -- it also includes some info about the publisher's plans for the rest of the year and beyond. For example, the launch of its two announced 3DS games, Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition and Resident Evil: Revelations, belong in the "beyond" category.
"We broke the news at E3 2010 that development is underway for Resident Evil: Revelations (tentative title) and Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition," the publisher said in the Q&A, "but we do not expect these titles to be ready for release this fiscal year." Capcom added that we "we haven't set any specific dates at this time." The current fiscal year ends in March 2011. That means that Capcom is likely to miss the 3DS launch window by at least a little, though these two major franchises are still likely to excite audiences a few months into the system's lifespan.

This is really cool now, a group of engineers going by Waterloo Labs in Austin, Texas created a way of controlling an original NES by simply moving your eyes.
By using electrodes placed around the eyes to track the movement of a players eyeballs, they were able to jury rig a Nintendo to accept eye movement as controller input. And it works!
Of course, controlling a game with the direction you’re looking makes it pretty tough to look straight at the screen, which is why no one makes it more than halfway through level 1-1 of Super Mario Bros. in this video. But still, impressive work!

Game Freak's Junichi Masuda has revealed a major change for the Pokémon series. In his latest blog, the Black & White designer has declared that you'll only encounter new Pokémon in the game's story mode.
In past games you'd regularly encounter old Pokémon in the game's story mode but it seems that now you'll only be able to catch them once you've completed the main game.
Masuda explained the decision, saying that he wants to make sure that kids and adults have the same experience when playing the game. He wants all players to ask "What is this Pokémon?" when they encounter a monster. It's all part of a plan to give players the same feeling that they had when they played their first Pokémon game.
According to Masuda development staff and players outside the company liked the idea. "It's like playing something completely new, similar to when I played Red & Green," is one comment that Masuda has heard. "You don't even know the type of the Pokemon, so you're surprised at the skills," is another.
Masuda concedes that designing the Pokemon has been tough, but Game Freak staff say that they're happy if players enjoy themselves.
So it's new Pokémon only, then. You can see which new Pokémon you'll be able to catch here.

s_hansse has released an entry into the Neoflash Coding contest, heres the full details:
Nickname: s_hansse
Project name: Scribble Jump DS (demo1f1)
From: germany
Division: Retro GAME
Platform: NDS
Original enter: YES
Support Motion: YES
In last NEO Compo this project have won in the top 10: NO
homepage: http://cojobo.net/~s_hansse/download...ndex.php?lg=en
download: http://cojobo.net/~s_hansse/download...download&lg=en
blog: http://s_hansse.drunkencoders.com
Project description:
Initially I wanted to make a Doodle Jump for the DS, but LimaSky (the maker of Doodle Jump) forbid that
So I made up my own graphics and my own sounds.
Some people helped me to translate this game into five languages:
- german
- english
- frensh
- netherlands
- swedish
How to use:
Go to http://cojobo.net/~s_hansse/download...ersion=demo1f1 and download the scribblejump.zip.
Extract it and follow the REAME_en.txt for more instructions.
If you have DSMotion, you can control the Scribble (the blue thing) by rotating your DS (like in Doodle Jump for the IPodTouch).
If you do not have DSMotion you have to use the Pad or the Stylus to control the Scribble.
For those who don't know Doodle Jump:
The Scribble jumps constantly. You can move it to the right or to the left and have to get as high as possible by jumping on different platforms.
There are also items which help you to jump higher or prevent monsters from hurting you.
You should start with the "help" - level in the main-screen.
There is also a leveleditor which you can use to make your own levels. (which will appear in the data/scribblejump folder).
You can download new levels (and upload your own, if you register) here: http://cojobo.net/~s_hansse/download...on=level&lg=en.
I hope you like this game as much as the over 300 people who downloaded it yet.

Screen Digest's Piers Harding-Rolls has explained the analysts' thinking on its recent prediction that new console hardware will arrive in 2013 or 2014 "at the earliest."
Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz yesterday, he said of Nintendo's Wii that "We expect it to have a shorter lifecycle than the high definition consoles" and thus expected a new Nintendo console sooner than a next-gen PlayStation or Xbox. "We're actually pitching it for an end of 2012 Japan release and the rest of world in 2013."
However, he felt there may be a Nintendo hardware revision before that time. "Our forecast actually incorporates the idea that there will be an upgraded version of the Wii available.
"There is potentially significant movement to come from Wii pricing in the future. If you look at the handheld strategy they've got the DSi and the 3DS, so I think they've got room to have to this iterative version before a 2012 or 2013 release."
In terms of Microsoft, he felt the arrival date of new hardware was contingent on the success of Kinect. "A 2013 launch is actually a significantly extended cycle compared to the original Xbox. So it is developing the longevity of the cycle. Kinect is going to play a part of it. It does depend how strong Kinect is in terms of adoption.
"At the moment we see it as an elongation, more staving off the decline of the platform. Not something that's really going to drive massive adoption or a reenergising of the platform so to speak, ticking over until a new platform comes."
However, he felt that long-tail rather than launch sales were key to how long Microsoft would push Kinect rather than turn to new hardware. "The situation I'm looking for not what at happens at launch but what happens in the six month range. If it starts to gain some significant momentum we would have to look at changing our forecasts."
When asked if Kinect failing to perform might lead to Microsoft moving more rapidly to a new console, he was unconvinced it would be practicable. "There is probably some movement in terms of a launch window for a new platform, but it will always take time to design and develop these platforms and to get enough content on.
"Bringing it forward might be possible from a technology viewpoint, but from your content partners' viewpoint it might not be so easy."
He felt, however, that Microsoft's motion controller was a stronger prospect than Sony's PlayStation Move, describing the latter more as "peripheral play" and dependent on how Sony bundled it.
"I think Kinect's got the potential to have more of an impact - the way Microsoft are approaching it, bundling it for a new audience. That potential late stage user, the more casual people who bought the PS2 in its late stages with content that was much more mainstream, like Singstar."
Screen Digest felt new Sony hardware proper would arrive in 2014, and that "We wait to see what the Wii does in response" to Kinect and Move.

News/release from ruffsta
MasterMind" is a puzzle game by Ruffsta which your object is to guess the correct color combination... You have 8 chances in which to do so. There are 3 levels you can choose from. What's great about this game is that you don't have to turn your DS unit vertically to play it.
Credit goes out to Eldude for helping with a couple of bugs and Metatarsals for helping with the logic bug. Without them, the game wouldn't have been released so soon. Also credit to Fabien Butazzi for the brain image with permission for usage.

Thatotherdev is back again with another release for the Wii, heres the info from his site.
I know that (with the exception of yesterdays PC exclusive thing) all I’ve been doing lately has been updating previously released games. So here is something “new”.
Several months ago aidman650 made a request on the wiibrew forum for a remake of an iPhone game called Falling Balls. Despite how much time has past and how simple of a game it seems to be nobody had done it yet. So I did. I’ve never actually played Falling Balls (I don’t have an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad and I’m not particularly interested in getting any of them) but I think what I ended up with is fairly similar to the game as its shown in videos.
You just tilt the wiimote (The PC version uses keyboard controls but on Wii its all motion controlled) to move your ball from side to side and try to avoid the other balls that fall and bounce across the screen. The longer you avoid them the higher your score.

Updated to v1.3. The major new feature is auto load/save of save states. When you run a game from the SD card, and it uses save ram of any sort (except ext cart), the save ram will be automatically loaded from "/.menu/n64/save/<game_name>.sav". If the file doesn't exist, the save ram is cleared. When you reload the menu, the save ram will be automatically saved to the file. If the directory doesn't exist, create it yourself by hand or the feature will fail.
The other significant change is the menu loaded off the SD card can now be any size up to 16 MB. So custom menus loaded from the SD card can be BIG!
See the thread at NeoFlash for the download.
http://www.neoflash.com/forum/index....ic,6245.0.html
EDIT: EEPROM didn't load/save... did a quick update to fix the problem. Now at v1.4!

Jim proposes a tech demo racing for the DS , "For Physics" which featured a Ferrari F40 on a Formula 1 circuit .
Hi
I've made a while ago was racing demo , WHERE you drive a Ferrari F40 on the Ground of the Norisring.
It's a very dark Demo, Because I have not included a sky. The graphic part Was Not so important for me for this version.
I've Used models that I've found on Several pages. The F40 IS from a NFS- Page and the track Is a model for racer.nl That Was Converted so I do not know the original game from Which it is.
More important physic Was The Code That Is Mainly by Marco Monster . I tried to get it stable and a new serie a good feeling for driving a car. Because I've included the de cette Norisring purpose only the important share of the track. It 's Only There For testing the driving . It's a complete flat track so I hadn't to change the 2D physic engine much.
At the moment I'm working on the graphics and the crashes. So I hope to release a new version in the near future.

Pate has posted some new WIP news of his Dos Emulator for DS
DSx86 fixes
Last week I did not have any time to work on DSx86, as I had various work-related things to do and also other "real life" issues that I had postponed during my summer vacation. Yesterday I finally began working on DSx86 again, and found the bug that caused the memory error in Maupiti Island. I had coded a shortcut for the memory allocation routines when launching an EXE program, and my shortcut did not handle the EXE header MaxAlloc field properly, it always allocated the maximum amount of memory. Normally all programs want the maximum amount of memory, but the TSR program in Maupiti Island was the first program that had the required amount of memory in the EXE header and did not adjust the memory allocation itself. After I fixed that routine the game loaded fine and seems to work.
I was also requested via email to look into a screen resolution problem in a game called Mahjong Fantasia. I noticed that it went to 640x200 screen mode, but still wanted to display 400 lines. There is no screen mode preset for 640x400 resolution, so the game accessed the CRTC registers directly. I enhanced my VGA emulation so that the vertical resolution is no longer tied to the current screen mode, but instead it is determined by the CRTC register values (like in DOSBox). This might cause problems in some games, but most likely it will work better than the mode-based resolution detection. At least Mahjong Fantasia began to display a correct resolution, and also Gods (another game that accesses CRTC registers directly) still works.
I have also added some simple missing EGA and Mode-X opcodes based on the debug logs I have received, again thanks for those! Other things on my TODO list I have not yet looked into, but at least the above mentioned improvements will be in the upcoming 0.23 version.
SuperCard DSTwo SDK betatesting
Several DSx86 users sent me email letting me know that SuperCard are giving a beta version of their DSTwo SDK to selected homebrew coders. So, I decided to contact SuperCard and request the beta version of the SDK. They accepted me to their beta test program (thanks SuperCard!) and sent me the SDK. I don't have the actual DSTwo card itself (which they also will send me) yet, so I can not properly test the SDK until I receive the card as well. However, I can start porting DSx86 to it immediately, and this is what I began doing yesterday.
The first problem was that the SDK (or rather the mipsel-linux toolchain that it uses) is meant to be run on Linux, and I have only Windows machines. This turned out to not be a major problem, though, as running VirtualBox on my Windows XP machine and installing Ubuntu Linux on it allowed me to install the SDK and compile the libraries and examples fine. I am familiar with the Linux command line tools, but I have actually never used the Linux graphical UI, which however seems to be reasonably similar to Windows so I am not totally lost with it. :-)
There does not seem to be any major problems compiling the C and C++ source codes, but obviously I need to write the ASM parts pretty much from scratch for the MIPS architecture. It will be interesting to study another new hardware architecture, and the MIPS architecture seems to be very different from ARM, even though they both are RISC processors. What little I have found out so far about the MIPS architecture compared to ARM is this:
MIPS has 32 general-purpose registers (while ARM has only 16). This will make it easy to keep all the x86 general purpose registers (only 8 of them) in the CPU registers, and still have a lot of extra registers for the emulator-specific stuff.
MIPS is luckily little-endian, same as ARM (as used in Nintendo DS) and the x86 architecture.
There are no CPU flags in MIPS! This is a bit strange, and will force me to use the "lazy flags" method of handling the emulated flags. This will slow down the code, but on the other hand it will allow me to emulate the Parity and Auxiliary Carry flags of x86 properly.
No free shifts and rotates in MIPS. This has been a cool feature in the ARM processor, so now I have to un-learn all these tricks with shifted register values. MIPS has 16-bit immediate values, though, so many ARM tricks are not actually needed on MIPS.
My working on the MIPS port of DSx86 will of course take time away from improving the current DSx86, but I think DSx86 is already working reasonably well as it is. Many games still need fixing and there are many general improvements that could be made, but I can continue working on these even while I concentrate on the DSTwo SDK testing. SuperCard probably expects me to actually work with their SDK, or they would not have sent it to me. I think I owe it to them to test it properly and report the possible problems and enhancement ideas I find when trying to port DSx86 to run on DSTwo.
With the DSTwo version of DSx86 (currently named "DS2x86" :-) I plan to support 386 instructions, and probably also 486 instructions. I will first port my tester program (which simply tests each CPU opcode for correct results), as it is much simpler than the full DSx86 and with that I can concentrate on the CPU emulation and make sure I get it to work correctly. After that I will probably try to get Norton Sysinfo running in it, just to see what the emulation speed will be like.
It took me about half a year from when I started working on DSx86 to when the first alpha version was released, so it might take about the same amount of time with the DSTwo version. On the other hand I have learned quite a lot about emulation in general, and the C and C++ codes do not need major changes, so it might be that I get something working much sooner.

Gaz has posted an entry into the Neoflash Coding Contest:
Nickname: Gaz
Projet name: Jazzier Suite 2.0
From: England
Division: APP
Platform: NDS
Original enter: YES
Support Motion: NO
In last NEO Compo this project have won in the top 10: NO
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jazzier Suite is a program to aid musicians in improving their ability to recognise pitch, read music and improve their timing.
Menu Selection
Box 1 – Metronome
Box 2 – Notation
Box 3 – Pitch
1. Metronome
Adjusting the tempo
* Move the Tempo-Meter (Red Horizontal Bar) up or down.
* Fine tune the tempo, click left and right arrows next to the tempo’s (bpm)
* Tap-Tempo (Button X) to find the tempo of any musical track, constantly press button X on the beat of the track. This will set the metronome to the tempo of the track you are listening to. It also provides an average tempo (bpm) based on the accuracy of your tapping over the duration.
Delay Times
The delay times shown at the top of the screen can be entered into a guitar effects pedal or similar effects processor. I have included dotted notes for more experimental delay times.
Changing the Accent
In the [Beats Per Bar (bpb)] box, select 1 if you don't want an accent. Alternatively select any other of the available numbers to place the accent on that beat.
N.B When tap-tempo is used, the metronome is stopped. I found it quite difficult to tap along to a track whilst the metronome is playing.
2. Notation
Once the notation screen appears you will be presented with a question in the form of a note on the stave. At the top of the screen you will see the Key to which the note has been selected from. And to the right, the number of tries you have had.
To answer the question you must select the correct note on the piano for the note on the stave. Once you have correctly answered a question, the number of correct answers will increment on the right side of the screen.
Once you are familiar with all the key signatures you have the option to switch the guide notes off by pressing the button X. Alternatively, press button X to switch them back on.
3. Pitch
Once the pitch screen appears you will be presented with a question in the form of a two tones. The first tone will be the root tone. The second tone will be an interval grater than the root tone. To select you answer, select one of the intervals you think is the correct answer.
N.B You will only be able to answer the question when both tones have finished playing.
>>Addional Notes<<
To move back to the main menu at any given time select the << at the bottom of each screen.
Hope you enjoy the software,
Gaz.

Activision's partnered with Nintendo for a Limited Edition Controller Bundle for GoldenEye on Wii.
The bundle will include an exclusive gold Classic Controller Pro, apparently inspired by Francisco Scaramanga's infamous golden gun.
The controller does have a more practical application too (apart from looking glamorous) as it allows players to use a more traditional control scheme as opposed to the Wii Remote and Nunchuk control scheme.
GoldenEye 007 executive producer Julian Widdows recently said his team has something to prove with the remake and is pushing the Wii "incredibly hard".
GoldenEye 007 is one of two upcoming Bond games, the game is going head to head with the Bizzare Creations title, James Bond: Blood Stone.

I think folks will like this update - featured changes include auto load/save for all save ram types, with both flash and SD games saving to the SD card, if present. If you don't have an SD card, or are using a flash-only cart, the saves go to the GBA cart SRAM. Please read the readme for details. For the most part, it's totally automatic, or very simple to deal with. The other obvious change is the addition of a splash screen, and backdrops for the browser and loader. Many thanks to sanni for his help with the images.
A minor change compared to previous versions - if a rom isn't recognized, the save type now defaults to external cart. This was done to keep games that don't use save ram from using space in the GBA cart SRAM on flash-only carts.
Neo Myth Menu Google code page
NeoFlash forum thread
EDIT: Made a quick update to v1.6.
Fixed a quirk with the game flash menu interpretation so that "odd" banks are dealt with properly. This should take care of those roms that seem to not run from the cart. You could recognize them by the bank number - if you're looking at the bank number and see them go like bank 0, bank 1, bank 2, bank 192, that oddball 192 is not really a bank number, it's the Mbit offset to the rom. There was a similar issue with the rom size that I took care of quite a while back.
You can now also provide your own backdrop images for the splash, browser, and loader (any or all). Just make a "/.menu/n64/images/ directory and put the custom images there. They should be non-progressive jpeg images of 320 pixels wide by 240 lines tall named as follows: "splash.jpg", "browser.jpg", and "loading.jpg". If the files exist on the SD card, the menu will use them in place of the ones in the menu resources.
You can also now delete slots in the slot selector (when running a game with save ram from a flash-only cart). Just press Z to delete the currently high-lighted slot.

The High Court ruling that confirmed DS R4 piracy cards are illegal will get developers excited about
the DS again.
Last month, a UK specialist IP court helped solidify the case against the cards, encouraging some rogue retailers to confess to being guilty of IP theft.
The platform holder hopes this will deliver renewed confidence in the handheld amongst developers and publishers that scaled down work on the platform as piracy became widespread.
“To get this judgement from a UK specialist IP civil court is an important step in the right direction,” Nintendo’s European anti-piracy counsel Neil Boyd told MCV.
“It is important to Nintendo – but also for the developers. Hopefully it will give them the encouragement and confidence to continue to develop the best games for Nintendo platforms.”
Piracy has been a significant problem on DS over recent years. Back in February, Take-Two CEO Ben Feder blamed weak sales of GTA: Chinatown Wars on the R4.
Boyd also said the ruling will help protect the upcoming 3DS when it launches.
“Only time will tell if the 3DS will be hacked,” he added. “But in terms of security, and preventing people getting around those security measures, I think this case gives us a good, solid legal foundation. What comes ahead of us is pure speculation, but it gives us a good basis for future security threats.”

As the (still completely unfounded) speculation about a possible PSP Phone continues to travel in circles around the internet, it has been alleged that Nintendo was at one point considering its own foray into the mobile phone sector.
Pocket Gamer carries word from “a development source” that in the early 2000s an R&D project jointly run by Nokia and Nintendo was established at Nintendo’s Kyoto HQ.
The project supposedly progressed as far as board level, where Nintendo execs were presented with a concept. Which they rejected. In the subsequent years Nokia went on to launch the ill-fated N-Gage and Nintendo debuted the not-so-ill-fated DS.
“You have to remember Nintendo is a very conservative company,” the source stated. “It always has various R&D projects on the go, but most of them are eventually rejected. It's just how it operates.”
The requirement for mobile phone users to sign up to a contract has always been seen as a big barrier for platform holders, but the huge success of the iPhone proves that – despite the failure of N-Gage – gaming machines and mobile phones can co-exist.

Finished New Super Mario Bros. Wii? Defeated Bowser and collected every gold coin? Pah. That's merely a "decent" achievement, says Nintendo.
You're no expert until you can finish level 1-1 in 44 seconds, or get 20 extra lives from a single fireball spat from Yoshi. Those and several more feats listed on a New Super Mario Bros. Wii Challenges website.
Nintendo has set a bunch of challenges from time trials to technique and multiplayer challenges, and divided them up into three difficulties. There's some cool ones on there, like getting through levels without scoring a single point (so even coins and mushrooms are the enemy), or Goomba combo-stomping.
Should be good fun if you want more out of the already brilliant platformer. It's a shame, in the age of Achievements and Trophies, that Nintendo is doing it this way instead of just building these challenges into the game itself.

The next instalment in the Metroid series is so emotionally charged it brought one of the game's creators to tears.
That's according to Nintendo's Ryuzi Kitaura, speaking in the latest Iwata Asks interview. He said producer Yoshio Sakamoto was left speechless the first time he saw storyboards for the cut-scenes in Metroid: Other M. "I thought there was no hope for me, I thought I should just go home there and then," Kitaura said.
"That wasn't it at all!" chuckled Sakamoto. "The truth is that I was so inspired I couldn't put it into words. I think anyone would become speechless if they were presented with storyboards that were so far beyond their wildest dreams.
"Kitaura-san's passion was really apparent in those storyboards. That's why I decided to ask him to be responsible for all production, not just for the cinematics, but doing production for gameplay parts too."
When it came to viewing the actual cut-scenes Sakamoto was even more moved, according to Kitaura. "He stood close to me, checking the monitors. When we'd shoot a particularly moving scene, I'd ask him 'How was that, Sakamoto-san?', but he'd be completely silent - again.
"I was really worried, thinking 'Oh no, he doesn't like it...' But then when I peeked at his face, his eyes were full of tears," Kitaura said. "Well, the cinematic did show Samus in tights."
In total Kitaura drew more than 300 storyboards featuring over 2000 images. It took him more than six months to get them all done.
You can find out whether it was worth the effort when Metroid: Other M is released for Wii on 3rd September. In the meantime, there are billions of videos over on the gamepage.

So what's new this time around? Well, how about GAMES LOAD TWICE AS FAST!
Load times are now 0:13 for 4 MBytes, 0:27 for 8 MBytes, 0:53 for 16 MBytes, and 1:46 for 32 MBytes. 
Other changes include the ability to cycle between the wallpaper, the patterns, and a blank background. The menu now remembers the browser settings, including which background you had selected, whether you were browsing the flash or the SD card, and whether you were viewing the game info, or the game options.
A minor change was made to the game startup to better simulate a cold boot.
As always, you can get the archives from the thread at NeoFlash, or the Neo Myth Menu google page.

News from http://hackmii.com/2010/08/theming-t...ebrew-channel/
When we released the Homebrew Channel 1.0.7, we supplied a new look and the announcement of a surprise. I must apologize for the delay in the revelation of this surprise, which is mostly owed to a complete meltdown of my work machine. Without much further ado, it is my pleasure to give you: Homebrew Channel themes, and a first theme: HBC Classic.
While the reactions to HBC 1.0.7’s new default theme – dubbed “Dark Waters” – were generally positive, some complained about it being too dark, unfitting, or simply “exceedingly ugly.” We’re usually not the makers of elaborate plots (that you know of), but this was actually fully intentional to draw a bit of attention not only to the function but also to the looks of the Homebrew Channel.
Applying themes to the Homebrew Channel
There are two options for you to apply a theme to the Homebrew Channel.
The first way is to treat a theme file just like you would treat an application: A subfolder in the apps folder on the SD card or USB stick, only with the file theme.zip containing the theme files instead of boot.elf containing an application. The theme file will then show up in the application browser, loading it will apply it to the Homebrew Channel. This allows you to conveniently switch between themes as you can store them along each other on the media of your choice.
The second way is to simply wiiload the theme.zip to the Homebrew Channel, after which it will be immediately applied.
Once you apply a theme, it is permanently stored with the Homebrew Channel’s “savegame”.
How to revert the Homebrew Channel to the default theme
Currently, this only works by deleting the Homebrew Channel’s “savegame” via the System Menu’s data management. This, of course, also deletes the other preferences, so you will have to visit the Homebrew Channel’s options screen again. We may come up with a better way to remove a theme, but this is how it works for now.
Creating your own themes
Theming the Homebrew Channel is currently limited to skinning the user interface, i.e., replacing its graphics with same-sized ones. You can skin pretty much any graphical element of the Homebrew Channel, with the exception of the Wii remote pointer and the Homebrew Channel logo in the bottom right. (Yes, you can even insert your own bubble graphics. I propose: mice.)
Please take careful note that the graphics need to be the exact size of the ones they are replacing, there is no stretching/cropping mechanism in place. If the image dimensions mismatch, the image will be ignored and the default image will be used in its place. The same happens if you don’t include a file in the first place. This allows you to selectively skin the HBC. For example, if you only wanted to change the background image, your theme would only include the two background files.
Accompanying the image files is a small XML file named theme.xml. For now, it only includes a few color values and the name of the theme. The color values are in RGBA for the font (which is currently limited to one color GUI-wide) and the gradient to be used in the progress bar.
I believe I can leave you with the new HBC Classic theme as a template for both the sizes and the file naming. I trust you will be able to figure out the purpose of the various image files by their file name. You will notice that the Homebrew Channel’s GUI isn’t terribly complicated and re-uses many of its images in various places.
For theme publishing, I suggest you package theme files like an application. You can even include a screenshot or a cutout as icon.png and your name with the meta.xml file (note that you will still have to supply a theme.xml inside the theme.zip file).
Theme repository – or lack thereof
As with applications, we do not intend to create a repository for themes ourselves. Since Wiibrew.org has proven to be a great repository for applications, we think it is a great place to store the accompanying themes. As usual, with Wiibrew, please don’t upload copyrighted content. For themes, this means: No copyrighted imagery, neither of photographic nor illustrative nature. Also, I would think that it is rather pointless to upload background-only themes.
So, there you have it. We are very much looking forward to see how you feel the Homebrew Channel should look like.

News from http://hackmii.com/2010/08/the-usb2-release/
Some of you may be familiar with a major problem in Wii homebrew land. Most applications and games found on wiibrew.org use libogc, which in turn relies on IOS. While most IOS versions have a USB module, it is limited to USB1, and its I/O throughput make some applications next to unusable when using USB mass storage devices, others have annoyingly long loading times.
The Wii game “Your Shape” changed this – it introduced a new IOS version: 58, and this is the first with an official USB2 module. Starting with the System Menu 4.3 update, IOS58 is available to every Wii.
Thanks to some serious work by tueidj, all homebrew applications can now utilize this USB2 module through libogc. The Homebrew Channel v1.0.8 is the first version supporting it.
IOS58 will be automatically installed when you update your Wii to System Menu 4.3. If you do not want to update, you can use Tantric’s clean IOS58 Installer.
The release notes:
HackMii Installer (v0.8):
■IOS58 is chosen for The Homebrew Channel when installed. This is required for USB2 support. Other IOS versions are of course still supported, but USB will be limited to version 1.
BootMii beta 6 (v1.3):
■Fixed the freeze when using the autoboot feature to load System Menu with a delay of zero.
■The NAND backup no longer crashes when stumbling on uncorrectable pages.
■A couple of fixes to the integrated SD browser.
■The autoboot feature is ignored when launching the IOS version of BootMii.
The Homebrew Channel (v1.0.8):
■General USB improvements for all IOS versions, this fixes the regression introduced in version 1.0.7.
■USB2 support through IOS58.
A note about unofficial IOS versions: There have been IOS hacks for USB2 support for a long time now. Those rip the USB1 module out of an IOS, and replace it with a USB2 module. You may not care about the uglyness of this approach, the code quality of the replacing modules, or the risks associated with replacing a vanilla IOS. But some coders (us included) do, and outright refuse to use it. On top of that, those nasty hacks are mostly used for warez loaders. IOS58 relieves us of that burden.
The AHBPROT feature, which we described one year ago, allows you to bypass IOS to access devices directly from the PPC, eliminating the need for any IOS patches. Starting now, we will remove all cIOS poisoned applications from the wiibrew.org wiki.
Either grab the new installer here, or use the HBC online update (a confirmation dialog should pop up when launching an older version of HBC).

News from http://hackmii.com/2010/08/the-scope...ebrew-channel/
We have always known that HBC is widely used. We’ve had some idea of how many downloads have been completed, and by sorting on unique IPs we could get an idea of the overall distribution.
Since the release of HBC 1.0.7 (also covering 1.0.8) we have added anonymous usage statistics via your HBC’s User Agent header field. This allows us to more accurately see how many active Homebrew Channel installations exist in the wild. We would like to share these statistics with you.
To calm any potential fears from our users it’s important to note that we cannot use this information to track:
■Who you are
■What software you have installed (beyond the HBC and System Menu versions)
■Any kind of software / hardware modifications done
■… and so forth.
If you have any outstanding opinions about this, comment on this article.
During the first 24 days after the launch of the new hackmii installer we have counted 192708 unique installations! The number is probably slightly higher, as some Wiis are not configured to connect to the Internet.

Arikado has released The Powder Toy Wii 0.1
The Powder Toy Wii is a port of The Powder Toy using SDL Wii.
Difference between The Powder Toy Wii and Powder Toy Wii
Skylark ended development of Powder Toy in mid-2009. FacialTurd made an unofficial branch of the project called The Powder Toy which is still being actively developed. The Powder Toy has many more objects, powders, tools and other features. It also has significant changes to the user interface and engine. It is debatable whether Powder Toy or The Powder Toy is a superior program; though most prefer The Powder Toy.
Epic-er Story of Porting The Powder Toy to Wii
After porting Powder Toy to Wii, Arikado was asked to port The Powder Toy to Wii. He beat his record of porting Powder Toy in 5 minutes by porting The Powder Toy, live in IRC, in three minutes.

Tantric has released IOS58 Installer
IOS58 Installer does one thing, and one thing only - download and install IOS58 from the Nintendo update servers. This process does not involve any system-critical parts of the system, and is completely safe. IOS58 is required for USB 2.0 support in homebrew applications and is the default IOS used by HBC 1.0.8+. It is included in System Menu 4.3, but those who do not wish to update to 4.3 can just run this installer to get the benefits of IOS58.
Usage Instructions
1.Make sure you are running HBC 1.0.8+
2.Copy the installer files to your SD card or USB device
3.Run the installer from HBC
4.Press the Install button
5.Done!

Tantric has released Super Mario War Wii 1.4
Super Mario War Wii is a port of Super Mario War to the Wii, using SDL Wii. It should be fully functional. To make this port possible, I've had to rewrite significant portions of SDL Wii, particularly a complete re-write of the file, video, and sound systems. However, I'm hoping this work will encourage other developers to port more SDL-based games and applications to the Wii.
1.4 - August 11, 2010
Fresh compile with latest libogc improvements
USB 2.0 via IOS58 support. Requires that IOS58 be pre-installed.

Heres the full details posted:
Nickname: Aguilera_87
Projet name: Tirada2
From: Spain
Division: Retro APP
Platform: NDS
Original enter: YES
Support Motion: NO
In last NEO Compo this project have won in the top 10: NO
Project description:
It's a dice roller, classic dices and custom dices with a basic and nice GUI.
Six-sided dice only allow to change the number of dice to roll, being able to choose from 1 to 21.
Custom dice allowed values from 0 to 999, and you can choose any range within these limits. Also you can choose from 1 to 21 dices.
How to use:
Touch the screen to navegate around the app.
"Roll Dice" throw all the dices on the board, and you can press on each individually for throw it.
“Higher” shows the maximum value obtained in a spin, and "Total" shows the sum of the values in a roll of the dices.

Nickname: miguel28
Projet name: DScritor V1.0
From: Mexico
Division: Retro APP
Platform: NDS
Original enter: Yes
Support Motion: NO
In last NEO Compo this project have won in the top 10: NO
Project description:
It is a great with which you can create text writing with the stylus directly on the touch screen on a handwriting. You can even be used as a "Paint" to draw if we're bored.
How to use:
This application basically is a tool which you can write text, but by hand, and our NDS recognized as one letter to the show on the top screen, and then we can save in TXT format microSD.
It also has a text viewer so you can read the files already saved. To make matters worse it also has the option of drawing, in which we can change the background, change the color and brush size, and we can save them in bmp format DScitor folder in the root of the microSD and after viewing them.
In the file includes an image, Letters.bmp to indicate how each letter should be written for the NDS recognizes it, and not confuse them. You strongly recommend that the touch screen is in good condition and well calibrated to better decteccion letters.
 ]
Edit:
I fotget it the "P" is:
This application must be loaded as any homebrew, and it needs patching DLDI and DScritor in the root folder of the microSD.
Controls
* Stylus: On the touch screen to draw letters or other characters in the drawing mode
* Buttons: Different functions depending on the selected mode specified on the top screen

Conle has posted an entry in the Neoflash 2010 Coding Contest:
Heres the full details posted:
This is going to be my NEO Comp retro submission.
Excuse me for the very large post but there are a few things i will have to cover.
...Lets start
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
About GeneScript
GeneScript or "Genesis Script" or "GS" is an interpreted scripting language like LUA/Python with compiler and virtual machine but has C-Like syntax and does not require entry point function.
The language supports almost all C operators( + , - , / , * ,% , & , ^ , ! , != , == , = ,|| ,| ,&& , >> , <<, > , < , >= , <= )
and also the expression parser does precedence and supports parentheses( 3 * 3 * 3 , is different than (3*3)*3
just like in C).
The expression parser supports constants , native constants ,hex constants ,float consts, variables ,constant native types , script functions,
native function , native types just like in C.
The language comes with 4 base types : string , pointer ,integer(unsigned instruction set to be compatible with pointer), float(Exclusive opcodes are generated for floats)
and the SDK allows to register custom types and native functions(one of the most powerful features of this scripting language).
One note about the pointer , is that it uses the unsigned 32bit math instructions
and then just grabs the result off of it.
Arrays are supported , but only for int/float types and since there is no garbage collector yet(There is , just disabled)
you have to statically set their size with a constant. A good thing is , that arrays are very fast.Each access
is just 2 operations(Virtually!!).
Objects(Classes) are not yet implemented.
Regarding strings , you can't use them in arrays yet or in overloaded expressions since i will have to finish the garbage collector
first and then write a special library that will do the job.For now they're just constant objects.
To control the flow you can use if statements and while loops.Returns from functions are also allowed
but you can't use yet continue/break statements due to a small bug in the scope handling that i haven't fixed yet
so i just disabled them.
The language does support functions and can have as many arguments you like , but they can only be base types.
In the feature i will make a native library that will be using the pointer type for allocations and referencing.
This was one of the features i implemented recently , so in functions that register variables on the stack
there might be a few bugs but functions that don't take arguments and don't return anything are fine.
The scope management is not yet that great so you might see the compiler complain for stuff that shouldn't.
So for this reason always put your while/ifs in a unique scope { } and force-protect your code ,
also in expressions it is suggested to use parentheses since this enables the parentheses-balance code
and always knows where to stop.
One of the most powerful characteristics of this scripting language , is the native function support.
Not only they are very fast since they're referenced by an index value instead hashmaps+loops but they make your life easier.
Take a look at the script code i've written to display the neo logo , and then the script asks you
to press a few buttons and you can see all the action on the screen.All this code executes directly
the native functions and the logic is as usual handled by the virtual machine.
The compiler
The compiler is the "heart" of the scripting language.
Currently it is a pc application(linux 64bit,linux32bit,windows 32bit) but at some point
when the C++ support on n64 reach a descent level i will combine the compiler with the SDK + VM(On pc the vm goes with
the compiler as a set already and even allows realtime access to exported symbols).
The compiler's job:
It translates all the code into instructions(opcodes) and then does some possible optimizations.
For example , it can detect cases like "int/float/pointer n = 0;" and can generate single instructions
instead 2.
The compiler also reports at the end of the compilation the memory usage of the virtual machine
and allows you to specify stack optimizations.
In total there are 3 stack optimizations : Level0 : Sets the relocation info to defaults , Level1 :
Sets the relocation info to the average predicted , Level2:Forces the Virtual machine to fully reserve
all the relocation info needed at once(This is a huge performance boost!!).
It also handles the stack nearly perfect and makes sure that the program will never leave any of the stacks
with unwanted data.
The instructions are long-aligned and the format is so easy to interpret that makes dynamic recompilation
piece of cake!
The virtual machine
Another important thing is the virtual machine.Without it the object code is useless.
The virtual machine reads the bytecode , handles the flow , controls all registers and does all the logic.
There are about 110opcodes that the VM can handle , and about 15main registers that are used.
For everything else a stack is used and handled in the way that the compiler specifies.
Regarding the n64 port of the virtual machine ...it is really fast and carefuly coded , so you get
all the performance you could get from an interpreted approach.
Native runtime libraries(Or Native functions of the N64 port)
Currently the RTL is at a descent level.
There are functions that allows you to render text , display and load images from the SD,
read the controllers , get the system ticks and render geometric shapes.
There are also functions to print integer and float types on screen.
At some point i will improve them , but you can do many things with it already.Even a mini game is very possible.
How to write code
Its simple , but i'll have to say that you must know how to program in order
to use this scripting language.
Also , as far as the N64 port goes , first try to learn the basics of C and libragon(The library
used by the native library set) before you try anything.
After that , the syntax is pretty much like C.
Look at the code of the demo that displays the NEOFLASH LOGO and asks for some input:

How to compile and run scripts
Extract the package,then
Copy "n64_vm/GenescriptVM.v64" and the directory "genescript"(in "n64_vm/") on top of your SDC.
Compile the code using the compiler:
genecompX86 scriptfile optimization_level
For example to compile script.gsc with optimization level2 do this :
genecompX86 script.gsc 2
Now place the resulting "script.gsobj" in the directory "genescript"
and run "GenescriptVM.v64" from the menu.
NEOCompo demos
There's currently one demo in the "genescript" directory
so just follow "How to compile and run scripts" and run the vm.
Assembly
For those who wonder how the compiled code looks like here is something that will answer your questions.
Input file : playgound.gsc (Pure GeneScript script file)
Code: [Select]
//Genescript scripting language demo.//Demo : Playgroundint array[8];float fArray[8];void init(){ gslconsole_init();}void shutdown(){ gslconsole_close();}void say_hello(){ gslconsole_printS("Hello...\n...World!\n");}void do_ifs(){ int value = 0; if(value > 10) { value = value * 10 /2; value = value & 1; }}void do_loop(){ int i = 0; while(i < 5) { array[i] = 0; i = (i + 1); if(i >= 2) { return; } }}//Call somethinginit();say_hello();do_loop();do_ifs();shu tdown();
Once compiled , it will look like this(This is a Compiler + VM SDK cycle dump)
(Note : Those jumps on top actually jump the function section to protect them
from the vm since there is no entry point.

Source code
The project is not yet opensource but will when the language gets more mature so please don't ask for SDK, though
a few people will have access to the code and i will also send a copy to Dr.Neo right now.
Special thanks
I would like to thank the following people since they deserve some credits:
Jack Crenshaw - For the book "Let's Build a Compiler".Its *very* outdated but was an interesting read.
ChillyWilly - N64Myth init code , SD access , Libdragon updates
Shaun Taylor - The main author of libdragon which is used by the runtime libs : http://www.dragonminded.com/?loc=n64dev/libdragon

Projet name:Super Smash Bros Crash! DS (Demo7)
From: Mexico
Division: Retro GAME
Platform: NDS
Original enter: NO
Support Motion: NO
In last NEO Compo this project have won in the top 10: NO
Project description:
It is a remake of the great Super Smash Bros. I did for the DS. The project is a demo, but has 21 characters, 14 stages, 2 CPUs, good music and sounds that accompany us throughout the game and two game modes. You can take pictures of the battle and saved in BMP format pictures in the folder Photos inside the folder SSBDS, and can be viewed later in the vault menu.
Characters:
* Diddy Kong (Super Mario)
* Fox (Star Fox Adventures)
* Ichigo (Bleach, anime)
* Link (The Legend of Zelda)
* Luigi (Super Mario)
* Mario (Super Mario)
* Pikachu (Pokémon)
* Sanji (One Piece, anime)
* Yoshi (Super Mario)
* Sonic (Sonic the Hedgehog)
* Capitán Falcom (F-Zero)
* Toon Link (The Legend of Zelda)
* Sasuke (Naruto, manga y anime)
* Kirby (Saga Kirby)
* Peach (Super Mario)
* Falco (Star Fox Adventures)
* Marth (Fire Emblem)
* Marco (Metal Slug)
* Meta Knight (Kirby Adventures)
* Young Link (The Legend of Zelda)
Stages:
* Princess Peach Castle (Super Mario)
* Hyrule Temple (The Legend of Zelda)
* Yoshi Story (Super Mario)
* Metal Fight (Super Mario)
* Battlefield (Battlefield)
* Final Destination (Super Smash Bros.)
* Corneria (Star Fox)
* Pirate Ship (The Legend of Zelda)
* Jungle DK (Donkey Kong)
* Dream Land (Kirby Adventures)
* Safron City (Pokémon)
* Konoha (Naruto, manga y anime)
* Sociedad de Almas (Bleach, manga y anime)
* Sky (Princess Peach´s Castle)
How to use:
First of all we installed in the Flash Card, putting the download folder at the root of the Micro SD.
Then select the only mode with the A, since the other so far do not work, only works in free battle. Then we will choose our character, for it must drag the red piece to our (below left) to a character, and repeat with the CPU. We pressed Start. We repeat the scenario, all this time there is no tab, just leave the pointer on the stage we want it and click Start again (the stage Preview does not work).
For those unfamiliar with the saga, it is not dead leave the opponent, but actually off the field. You only have to give a beating to come out or fall. The issue is that the more you hit, the farther you go to hit the second time, and so on. The as per cent of the upper display indicates this.
Controls:
* Pad Up: Jump.
* Pad Down: Crouch.
* Pad Right: Move to the right.
* Pad Left: Move left.
* A Button: Attack, when combined with the pad out separate attacks.
* B Button: Special Attack.
* Button Y: Final Smash (Only when you have caught).
* R Trigger: Protect Yourself.
* Start: Pause. In the pause menu, R + L + Start: End game.
Tested on flash cards and the following firmwares:
* Flash card SuperCard SD / MiniSD / MicroSD / CF with firmware 1.85 and( file dldi.scp )
* Flash card TTDS (Top Toy Ds) with firmware 1.17a12

Projet name: Bilou : Apple Assault
From: Belgium
Division: GAME
Platform: NDS
Original enter: YES
Support Motion: NO
In last NEO Compo this project have won in the top 10: NO
Project description:
Bilou and Bouli have crashed on a strange planet. While Bouli is repairing the Astrocruiser's repellor shield, Bilou (the blue ball) has to keep hordes of crazy applemen away ! The game feature the four fields surrounding the cruiser that you must clean up so that Bouli can finish his job and provide you a safe retreat for further exploration. Stun the applemen by stomping them (A). That will provide you more punch power to dispatch the assaulters further away (B).
In each assault wave, the applemen will come back with reinforcement. How long will you stand ?
How to use:
- download the game
- Control Bilou with the D-Pad, jump with (A), punch with (B).
- you can build up your punch power faster if you press (A) again when bouncing on applemen
- yellow worms can't be dispatched, but they can "help" Bilou building punch power while staying at safe distance from apples
- once you've gathered enough power (stars will start appearing on your punch bar), you'll shoot a devastating shuriken instead of merely punching.
- the more bounces you chain without touching the ground, the more you'll score.
- visit the "apple assault thread" if you need more instructions.

Project name: Scribble Jump DS (demo1f2)
From: germany
Division: Retro GAME
Platform: NDS
Original enter: YES
Support Motion: YES
In last NEO Compo this project have won in the top 10: NO
homepage: http://cojobo.net/~s_hansse/download...ndex.php?lg=en
download: http://cojobo.net/~s_hansse/download...download&lg=en
blog: http://s_hansse.drunkencoders.com
Project description:
Initially I wanted to make a Doodle Jump for the DS, but LimaSky (the maker of Doodle Jump) forbid that
So I made up my own graphics and my own sounds.
Some people helped me to translate this game into seven languages:
- german
- english
- frensh
- italian
- spanish
- netherlands
- swedish
How to use:
Go to http://cojobo.net/~s_hansse/download...version=latest and download the scribblejump.zip.
Extract it and follow the REAME_en.txt for more instructions.
If you have DSMotion, you can control the Scribble (the blue thing) by rotating your DS (like in Doodle Jump for the IPodTouch).
If you do not have DSMotion you have to use the Pad or the Stylus to control the Scribble.
For those who don't know Doodle Jump:
The Scribble jumps constantly. You can move it to the right or to the left and have to get as high as possible by jumping on different platforms.
There are also items which help you to jump higher or prevent monsters from hurting you.
You should start with the "help" - level in the main-screen.
There is also a leveleditor which you can use to make your own levels. (which will appear in the data/sj-level folder).
You can download new levels (and upload your own, if you register) here: http://cojobo.net/~s_hansse/download...on=level&lg=en.
I hope you like this game as much as the over 300 people who downloaded it yet.
Edit:
Quote
Changelog:
- there are now three modes:
- adventure mode: unlock the next level by getting through
- infinite: the "play all"-mode
- own levels: play your own levels
- if you only play one level (everything except infinite), the time is your score
- each level has its own highscorelist
- you can play the level direct in the leveleditor
- added an easier Stylus-Control (the second in option-menu)
- slower scrolling (if you need to scroll further, press UP)
- italian translation by Nhoya
- spanish translation by fincs
- fixed some other bugs and improved other things
I also changed the folder structure:
new levels are now in sj-levels
missions are in sj-missions
highscores are in sj-highscores
Missions have this format (no mission-editor yet): level1;0;level2;0;level3;0;level4;0;

Nickname: OBJECTION! (Aka LaPatateInc)
Projet name: Super Extreme Smile
From: Quebec, Canada
Division: GAME
Platform: NDS
Original enter: YES
Support Motion: YES
In last NEO Compo this project have won in the top 10: NO
Project description:
Last year, I've entered with You Have to Burn The Rope DS, which was a remake of a flash game. I've added a couple of new cool functions, like achievements and mods. I was done with PaLib. This year, I wanted something fresh with an original concept, and to use libnds directly. Here comes Super Extreme Smile.
In this game you are a Smile. A rolling smile... It cannot move, the only way to move it, is to use the touchscreen to ROTATE ALL THE WORLD AROUND IT. The smile is affected by gravity and thus, moving. Every time you rotate the screen, it keeps it's original velocity. Now the fun thing :
You can create your map, save them on the DS, load them again, and send them here, right in this post, so we can all play it ^^
The editor is easy to use. Each tiles are sampled on the top screen, and you can switch screen by pressed L or R. Then you can change tile, zoom, save, load or move around on the minimap. Here is some infos :
-Development started June 28th, I'm alone on this project.
-59 tiles. Each tiles should explain itself. If you don't understand it, try it !
-You can save with whatever name you want, 16 characters maximum. And you can always change it afterwards with Windows because loading doesn't (shouldn't) care about your name
-Maps are 124x60 tiles. Yes, this is a lot of place
-Collisions should all work, be aware there are sometimes bugs with velocity too high. If something REALLY doesn't work, tell me. Else, try to think of another way (More space between ?)
-Options contains : Change language (English or French), Flash or not, if it hurts your eyes, Pause = mostly for debugging but decided to leave it there so you can see more things, Music loudness, Music tempo (pretty fun =P ), Music changing automatically when you change mode, current music playing. You can change between musics in-game. There are 6 different and original one, and if you want one smoother, slow it down ! =D
-There are 50 achievements. Some will be done with time, some take skills. Some requires you to create a map to achieve it.
There is 15 campaign maps, 6 music.
All musics are from my sister, except : Main Menu and Rythmic Music, by me
Maps 1-2-4-5-11-13 are from my Brother, the others from me.
I highly recommend playing on a flashcard because it won't save on a emulator. When you exit it, you lose all progress. Since some achievements are only available for flashcard, you CANNOT get them all on a emulator.
Video :
Screenshots :
How to use:
Extract the file directly on the root of your DS or
Copy the .nds file wherever you want, then place the smile folder on the root of your card. You need the "data" folder inside your "Smile" folder.
CONTROLS :
Select - Change mode.
The game :
Touchscreen - Move
L or R - Stop Time (Use this)
Motion - Move (While time is Stopped with L or R (not with Touchscreen), DS must be vertical )
Down or B - Restart from checkpoint
Up or X - Restart from start
Start - Pause
The editor :
L or R Unpressed :
Arrows or ABXY - Move
Start - Change language in rotation
Touchscreen - Place tiles.
L or R Pressed (Top screen swapped) :
Touchscreen - Every control (Change tile, save, load, zoom, move around faster)
I would like some feedback at : Lapatateinc@hotmail.com
You can also send me some maps, I would love it ^^
Thanks, I hope you'll have fun !

This is a very early version of Speed Trap, soo I need as many testers as possible to can adjust the difficulty of the game, so please those who test it, report the time made in the forum, so among all find a balanced difficulty.
How to run the game.
The game uses NitroFS file system, so it is possible that your flashcard can not execute directly.
If so, start it using the "homebrew menu", which you will find in the folder concerned.
Important!!!
This game uses some advanced graphic effects that not works nice on emulators. Soo run always you can on real hardware.
How to play.
The controls are easy. A, accelerate, B, brake and turn with the pad. We can reposition the car on track if we stop it completely and press the X button. Press START at anytime to come back
to main menu.

Here’s an interesting setup using a GameBoy Advance as an interface and power supply for a PIC microprocessor. He’s got the PIC connected to the serial port of the GameBoy Advance and is able to pass and retrieve data for display on the screen. You can see above that he is showing two analog values from the pic. You can download the schematic and source code and see a few more pictures, but that’s about it.

Tired of messing with the hardware of the Didj you picked up? Now you can use it for gaming on that last road trip of the summer. A Game Boy Advanced emulator has been ported for use on both the Didj and the Explorer. You’ll have to dig up a copy of the original bios for a GBA as well as some ROMs, but the rest seems pretty straight forward. We are still holding out hope for Doom or Quake on the Didj, but this will help us wait a bit longer.

[Hasse] built a one-handed video game controller for his brother. He fit everything he needed into the body of an existing controller and came up with a very usable system. The controller will be right-hand only, so the left shoulder button was moved underneath the right side where your middle finger can get at it. This leaves the d-pad and the left analog stick to account for. By combining an ATtiny44A, an accelerometer, and a digital to analog converter the controller can sense motion. The microcontroller reads in the accelerometer data, gives user feedback via four added LEDs on the d-pad, and the DAC feeds the appropriate signals back into the controller as if you were using the stick. There is even a switch to select whether the motion data is mapped to the analog stick or to the d-pad. We’ve included a demo video after the break.

Did you know that a football player's vocation requires them to hurtle their head at other football players' heads with little regard for the safety of either? Did you know that this type of reckless cranial colliding can cause concussions and other serious, long-term head injuries? It's true -- but according to the Washington Post, athletic trainers at the University of Maryland and Ohio State University have found a tool to help diagnose and monitor players' dome-piece health: Wii Fit.
Trainers at the two universities now require players to use the Wii Balance Board to get a baseline reading of their -- what else? -- balance. When a player suffers a fairly nasty blow to the head region, they can take another Wii Fit test to see if their balance has deteriorated -- one of the telltale signs of a concussion. Man, combine this test with the Vitality Sensor, and the Wii will become a one-stop-shop for sports-related injury diagnoses!

News via http://www.aep-emu.de/PNphpBB2-file-...c-t-15483.html
byuu has released a new version of his SNES emulator bsnes. The first innovation you´ll notice are the emulation profiles, which let you balance between accuracy and performance:
"Accuracy": reference implementation; highest accuracy but lowest speed
"Compatibility": minimal compatibility loss with good speed; same compatibility and as fast as the last version
"Performance": performance optimized; compatibility still higher than 99%
Quote:
This release officially introduces the accuracy and performance cores, alongside the previously-existing compatibility core. The accuracy core allows the most accurate SNES emulation ever seen, with every last processor running at the lowest possible clock synchronization level. The performance core allows slower computers the chance to finally use bsnes. It is capable of attaining 60fps in standard games even on an entry-level Intel Atom processor, commonly found in netbooks.
The accuracy core is absolutely not meant for casual gaming at all. It is meant solely for getting as close to 100% perfection as possible, no matter the cost to speed. It should only be used for testing, development or debugging.
The compatibility core is identical to bsnes v067 and earlier, but is now roughly 10% faster. This is the default and recommended core for casual gaming.
The performance core contains an entirely new S-CPU core, with range-tested IRQs; and uses blargg´s heavily-optimized S-DSP core directly. Although there are very minor accuracy tradeoffs to increase speed, I am confident that the performance core is still more accurate and compatible than any other SNES emulator. The S-CPU, S-SMP, S-DSP, SuperFX and SA-1 processors are all clock-based, just as in the accuracy and compatibility cores; and as always, there are zero game-specific hacks. Its compatibility is still well above 99%, running even the most challenging games flawlessly.
If you have held off from using bsnes in the past due to its system requirements, please give the performance core a try. I think you will be impressed. I´m also not finished: I believe performance can be increased even further.
I would also strongly suggest Windows Vista and Windows 7 users to take advantage of the new XAudio2 driver by OV2. Not only does it give you a performance boost, it also lowers latency and provides better sound by way of skipping an API emulation layer.
Changelog:
Split core into three profiles: accuracy, compatibility and performance
Accuracy core now takes advantage of variable-bitlength integers (eg uint24_t)
Performance core uses a new S-CPU core, written from scratch for speed
Performance core uses blargg´s snes_dsp library for S-DSP emulation
Binaries are now compiled using GCC 4.5
Added a workaround in the SA-1 core for a bug in GCC 4.5+
The clock-based S-PPU renderer has greatly improved OAM emulation; fixing Winter Gold and Megalomania rendering issues
Corrected pseudo-hires color math in the clock-based S-PPU renderer; fixing Super Buster Bros backgrounds
Fixed a clamping bug in the Cx4 16-bit triangle operation [Jonas Quinn]; fixing Mega Man X2 "gained weapon" star background effect
Updated video renderer to properly handle mixed-resolution screens with interlace enabled; fixing Air Strike Patrol level briefing screen
Added mightymo´s 2010-08-19 cheat code pack
Windows port: added XAudio2 output support [OV2]
Source: major code restructuring; virtual base classes for processor cores removed, build system heavily modified, etc.

This is a shoutcast player for the ds. It features a visualizer, preset stations, and ability to search and play additional stations along with favorites. Currently I arbritrarily limited the bitrate of any streams to 64 kbps because the wifi lib is too slow for my purposes or my net is really lame, but if anyoen wants me to lift it, give me a holler. also the presets are all mp3 because i was too lazy to search for aac or ogg streams.
How to use:
If there was trouble initializing nitrofs, please run online jukebox ds from the included hbmenu as otherwise the presets wont be available.
It opens up with a help so you should be good to go.

ChillyWilly posted an entry into the Neoflash Coding Contest:
Heres the details:
Nickname: Chilly Willy
Project name: Simple Music Player
From: USA
Division: Retro APP
Platform: N64
Original enter: YES
In last NEO Compo this project have won in the top 10: NO
Project description: Plays Ogg-Vorbis, MP3, and MIDI files from the rom or from SD card.
How to use: Copy the v64 file to an SD card and load from the menu (v1.6+). It runs as Myth-aware homebrew, simultaneously accessing the rom and SD card. SMP shows the contents of the rom on startup. Press START to switch to the SD card. Directories are shown in brackets. Press A to enter a directory. When in a directory with media files, press A to start playing from a specific file; when it's done, the rest of the files in sequence will be played. Press B to play all the files in random order. While a song is playing, press A to pause/resume, and B to stop.
Notes: There are still some bugs to work out. I was rather rushed for time, so it's not up to my usual standards. Ogg-Vorbis seem fine, but MP3 files may hang on embedded tags... I'm still working on the code to skip tags automatically (why the heck doesn't libmad do that automatically? ). The MIDI player seems to have a dangling pointer problem, so it often hangs when it moves from one MIDI file to the next. The project is partly an example of how to do Myth-aware homebrew on the N64, and comes with all the source, including all the libraries used. One could easily use the ogg playing code in a game or other project. The MP3 player is also fine for game since folks usually strip the tags from MP3s for games to save space. SMP comes with two MP3s in the rom, along with two ogg files, and a bunch of Doom MIDI files. This is a pretty big download - 27 MB 7zipped. It's a 16MB N64 rom with all the code and resources, so it's big. Sorry.

Heres the details:
Nickname : EvilTroopa
Project name : NanoMechas
From : France
Division : Retro GAME
Platform : Wii
Original enter: YES
Support Motion: NO
In last NEO Compo this project have won in the top 10: NO
Project description:
This project was inspired by many games I loved when I was a kid : Life Force, Gauntlet, Probotector, and many others.
I hope you will enjoy to play it as much as I had to make it !
Playable up to 4 players !! (Wiimote & Nunchuk needed)
Gameplay :
Your goal is to access the end of the level. Once you reach the boss level, it will end by killing it (duh).
Along the way, you will be blocked by colored celldoors : you will need to take a hormone of the same color to disolve it.
Alien infections will generate alien viruses that will attack you. Kill them without mercy.
CAUTION ! In the second level, there will be one single volatile hormone. You will have limited time to go to the celldoor before it goes off.
If you weren't able to take it to the celldoor, you'll have to go back to take it again.
Background :
In year 20XX, aliens came to Earth to invade us humans.
Instead of showing massive artillery, they sent viruses to infect and kill all populations.
A few people could hide themselves in caves to prepare for counterstrike. Scientists created NanoMechas to fight infections from within the contamined people.
Once there NanoArmy will be ready, they'll kill the alien people from the inside.
How to use :
Controls :
Pointer : Aim and Turn your mecha (important to slash your sword on the right direction)
A : Slash your sword
B : Fire your lasergun
Nunchuk Stick : Move
Tips :
- Keep the B button pressed as long as you see ennemies on the screen and shoot them.
- If ennemies come close enough to be hurt by your sword, then use it !
- Your best weapon is the sword, it can hurt multiple ennemies and also block bullets.
- If you're attacked by a bunch of crazy aliens, just slash their face off.
- The infections make aliens pop regularly, destroy them to avoid being overwhelmed by ennemies.
- The boss is strong, beware of his dash, it will hurt you... a lot !
- The boss will taker a lot of damage when its weak spot is unprotected.
Dowlond link : http://www.eviltroopa.com/wii/NanoMechas_0.7.rar (~20Mo)
Changelog :
==v0.6 and 0.7==
- removed lifebars on infections
- corrected bug : with several players, all the pointers were the same colour
- corrected view centering when player dies
- dying animation added on infections
- updated dying animations on ennemies and mechas
- player can move on respawn and is invincible for a short period
- added longer invincibility when hurt
- ennemies no longer see through walls
- added timed hormones
- refactoring : no longer crashes for random reasons (almost ^^)
- bosses nerfed a little
- recentered user interface
- lifebars on the right go the right way now
- new more visible hormones icons (and visible timer added)

THQ may be the company publicly pushing the recently announced uDraw tablet controller for the Wii, but a presentation of the new technology at Gamescom this week emphasized just how important Nintendo's support was to the device's creation.
"When we came to [Nintendo] in the beginning with the idea for uDraw, they said 'that's brilliant, let's figure out how to do this,'" THQ director Luis Gigliotti said during a presentation. "It's been an incredible partnership. ... I've been working in game development for 17-plus years and I can honestly say this is one of the smoothest collaborations with a first party I've ever had, just because everybody got it on day one."
Gigliotti specifically pointed out that Nintendo's hardware design expertise was key to transforming the monstrous uDraw prototype (nicknamed "Frankenstein" by the THQ team), into the light, sleek unit shown off at the show. "[The prototype] was a like bunch of lasers and mirrors and loose parts, it was wood and it had brass on it," he recalled. "I said, 'There's no way we can get this to something like this [the current hardware] without it costing a fortune.' Nintendo said, 'Don't worry about it. You guys are software developers, we are the kings of hardware. We will figure this out.' And they did, for one reason -- the idea was solid. Everybody knew it was a good idea, so we figured out the rest."

News via http://www.planetvb.com/modules/news...hp?storyid=307
I'd like to announce Richard Hutchinson's latest creation, the FlashBoy Plus! This new, second entry to the FlashBoy family expands the previous design by an internal save battery and will finally allow Virtual Boy homebrew developers to make use of game saving mechanisms in their games. Or, better put, it will finally allow people to actually use save game functionality of homebrew and commercial games on hardware.
This marks the end of the "old" FlashBoy line, none of those will be produced anymore. The last ever "old" FlashBoy (#284), which was meant as the main prize for the PVB Coding Competition 2010, is being auctioned off. The competition winner will receive a FlashBoy Plus instead.
This also means that the previously announced upcoming new FlashBoy batch will in fact be FlashBoy Plus units. Those 50 units will be available to those who preordered approximately in early October. The price will stay the same at 90 Euro.
Everyone who did not have luck this time should be happy to hear that we plan to create another batch of FlashBoy Plus units at the end of the year.

News via http://damicha.drunkencoders.com/2010/08/18/2ds-v0-5/
Here comes the second release of my project 2ds+.
I used the time after the last release to get more involved in calculation of 3D coordinates and vectors and in using the openGL stuff. I added and updated the following objects and scenes:
•A satellite spinning around Earth (added)
•A waving plane (added)
•Some rotating cubes (updated)
•A photograph
The satellite scene is new and it contains a satellite (of course) that’s flying around an Earth object. Additionally the satellite’s path and a starry sky is displayed. You can control the flight direction of the satellite by using the NDS keys: B and X or you can rotate the entire scene by dragging it on the touchpad.
picture: Satellite
Controls:
SELECT – switch between the scenes
Touchpad – rotate the objects manually
B – turn the satellite to the left
X – turn the satellite to the right
Binary and sources files:
•2ds_plus-0.5.zip
•2ds_plus-0.5-src.tar.gz
Regards,
damicha

News/release from MBJ007
My first attempt at using DS Game Maker and anything like programming.The code has a remarkable similarity to the one in the Manual(it's all I know and I haven't figured out much else, though I got my own angle on it).Looks pretty though.I only downloaded it last night and I'm still up this morning.I am a cartoonist and up till about 12 hours ago had no intention of making games.Had a bitch of a time really and now I'm really tired.
In Grandma's filthy kitchen, several chicken carcasses are horribly moldy.And infested with ghosts, not just any ghosts, poultrygeists.Help Miffy the cat get to the best chicken grandma has left on the floor.

Pate has posted a new release of his excellent Dos Emulator for the DS,heres whats new etc:
This version has only minor fixes, as I have been busy with other things (work-related stuff and the SuperCard DSTwo version of DSx86). The changes in this version are the following:
Maupiti Island memory allocation problem (as mentioned in the previous blog post) has been fixed.
Support for tweaked 640x400 EGA mode added (used in Mahjong Fantasia, for example).
Fixed the hang in Bart vs. the Space Mutants. The hang was caused by two timer interrupts happening immediately after each other. This should not normally happen, but as DSx86 uses the host machine timer IRQ to drive the emulated PC timer IRQ, it is possible for a timer IRQs to happen during screen blitting, which in turn might have interrupted the handling of the previous timer IRQ. I adjusted the timer IRQ handling so that timer IRQs that happen during screen blitting are ignored.
Fixed the Space Hulk "Error in MIDI code!" problem that was introduced in 0.22 (caused by the new AdLib Timer 2 handling for B.A.T. 2). I improved the AdLib timer handling so that both B.A.T. 2 and Space Hulk are happy.
Fixed the unsupported INT call at the start of Fire & Ice (it tries to load custom EGA fonts, which is not yet supported).
Added some missing graphics opcodes, based on the error logs I have received.
I also spent several hours tracing the null pointer jump problem in the Superhero Legend of Hoboken game, but could not fix it yet. I found out that the problem is caused by a routine overwriting data in the stack, so that the routine then returns to address 0000:0000. This same routine is used without problems hundreds of times before it fails, so tracing the actual reason for the failure is pretty difficult and time-consuming.
Not a lot of changes, and as I am moving my focus from DSx86 to the new SuperCard DSTwo version, at least for the time being, it is possible that DSx86 itself will progress very slowly for a while. I will possibly increase the two-week release cycle, especially if I have not had time to do any worthwhile improvements.
DS2x86 progress
I have not yet received the free DSTwo card that SuperCard has sent me, so I have not been able to fully start coding for it yet. I have been learning MIPS assembly language and have started converting some of the ASM macros I have used in DSx86 to MIPS ASM for DS2x86, though. I am using mostly the same ideas that I have used in DSx86, but will include 386/486 opcodes from the start, and will switch from using the CPU flags directly to a Lazy Flags-type approach. MIPS has so many general purpose registers that I believe I can fit the lazy flags into registers, which should make the code run reasonably fast. Not as fast as the ARM version, obviously, but on the other hand the MIPS processor has quite a bit higher clock speed.
I hope the DSTwo card arrives next week!

Pate has posted more WIP news of his Dos Emulator for the DS
I got my free DSTwo flash cart last Monday, so I have been working on DS2x86 ever since. It took me all of Monday evening to get the DS2x86 framework (tester routine calling the MIPS ASM CPU emulation code, and it returning properly back to the tester routine) to run without crashing, so on Tuesday evening I was able to start working on the actual CPU opcode emulation with MIPS ASM language. I am actually using a strict TDD (Test Driven Development) coding technique when working on DS2x86. With DSx86 I usually coded something, then tested it with some test games, and only if that failed I coded more thorough tests. With DS2x86 I implement the test routines (or improve the old tests I used in DSx86) first, and only then start coding the actual opcode handlers. I do this because the MIPS ASM language is very unfamiliar to me, and also because I am now using the Lazy Flags approach, so I can no longer use the ARM CPU to calculate the correct x86 CPU flags for me.
By Saturday morning I had implemented the first four opcodes 0x00..0x03 (the various ADD opcode versions). Each of these actually have 256 different modrm bytes for all the different memory address modes, and as there are 6 different segment override possibilities, plus the case with no segment override, each of these opcodes actually has 7*256 different cases. My test routine runs each of these cases with random input values, and tests for correct results and correct emulated CPU flags state after the run. So in fact I had over 7000 different cases, including their unit tests, coded and tested by Saturday morning. Pretty good progress I think, considering I was only able to work on it for a few hours every evening.
The images above are screen captures from the default SDK console, using a screen capture code by BassAceGold, another SDK tester (thanks for the code!). The first one is from Saturday morning, with the first four opcodes working and opcode 0x04 stopping with an invalid result (0x59+0x1C=0x1C). The second one is the current (Sunday midday) situation. I have skipped opcode 0x0F, as it contains a lot of different 386 opcodes, and also the 386-versions of the already coded opcodes are mostly missing. The Lazy Flags handling does not yet calculate correct Overflow flag for SUB/SBB opcodes, so that too still needs work. I have the 386-specific FS and GS segment registers already supported, and also the immediate 32-bit versions like ADD EAX,0x1234567 are already coded and tested. But since my first priority is to get Norton Sysinfo running, I can leave supporting most of the actual 386-opcodes for later.
I think the font used by the SDK is not the best possible, especially the small letter g is pretty unclear, but this is certainly good enough for debug printing. The MIPS cpu is set to run at 120MHz by default (I believe that is the lowest speed it can run), which is fine while coding the tester program. There is an API call in the SDK to change the CPU speed, up to 396MHz I believe, so I am thinking of adding a configuration option to DS2x86 where the user can choose the CPU clock speed. Running at higher speeds will probably drain the battery pretty fast, so always running at the highest speed is not a good idea.
Anyways, I am already at opcode 0x27 DAA. This is one of the weird BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) opcodes that use the Adjust Flag (which is not properly supported in DSx86). Now with DS2x86 I can support the Adjust Flag properly, so I can finally code the DAA opcode so that it will always give correct results. Even though this opcode is very rarely used, it will be good to have it working correctly. :-)

Ant512 has posted a new release of Woopsi for the Nintendo DS:
Woopsi is a Nintendo DS GUI library for rapidly creating user interfaces for homebrew software. Modelled after the AmigaOS windowing system.
Woopsi 0.99.3 is now available:
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/woopsi
This release fixes a number of bugs. Some of the code has been tidied up. The only change that could have an impact on user code is the removal of drawHorizLine(), drawVertLine(), drawCircle() and drawFilledCircle() from the GraphicsPort class. The drawLine(), drawEllipse() and drawFilledEllipse() methods will now automatically call the optimised form if it is available.
Fixes:
- WoopsiString::compareTo() no longer inlined (fixes SF bug 3017420).
- Moved unused FixedWidthFontBase class into extras directory.
- Moved putSDLPixel() and getSDLPixel() into FrameBuffer class from woopsifuncs files.
- Added copy() to all bitmap classes.
- Replaced call to woopsiDmaCopy() in Graphics::copy() with call to copy() method of bitmap class.
- Graphics::drawEllipse() automatically calls drawCircle() if both radii are equal.
- Graphics::drawFilledEllipse() automatically calls drawFilledCircle() if both radii are the same.
- Graphics::drawCircle() and drawFilledCircle() are protected.
- Graphics::drawLine() automatically calls drawVertLine() or drawHorizLine() if lines can be optimised.
- Graphics::drawVertLine() and drawHorizLine() are protected.
- Removed GraphicsPort::drawCircle(), drawFilledCircle(), drawHorizLine() and drawVertLine().
- Fixed TinyFont (broken in last release).
- Moved woopsiRGB() macro from woopsifuncs.h to graphics.h.
- Moved woopsiDmaFill() and woopsiDmaCopy() into new dmafuncs files.
- PackedFont1 clips correctly.
- Gadget collision detection uses routines in Rect class.
- All GraphicsPort routines use Rect class.
- Rect::hasDimensions() returns false for negative sizes.
- Rect::getIntersect() and getAddition() work correctly for negative sizes.
- Removed Rect::fromDimensions().
- Rect::fromCoordinates returns a rect rather than a pointer to a rect.
- Tidied up SDL pad updating in woopsifuncs.c.
- Removed woopsiLidClosed() from woopsifuncs.c.
- Added dmafuncs.h to woopsiheaders.h.
New Features:
- Added Rect::contains().
- Added Rect::copyTo().

News/release from Jayenkai
It's been a long while since I last posted a DS game.
I keep meaning to do stuff, but AGameAWeek's been taking up a whole bucketload of my time.
Still, this one's a quicky, and since I already had all the assets ready to go, I was able to clump it together in next to no time.
The Gameplay
Cardagain is a simple puzzler, but one that gets inexplicably harder as you go.
Four cards appear on the table, each with one of two symbols.
You have to remember where each one is, and then they're all flipped over.
Two cards are flipped back, one of each pair, and you then have to flip over the other two in the same order.
As the game progresses, the cards are shuffled around, and more cards are added, leading to a tougher game, as you try to memorise mountains of info all together.
The Youtube video can explain it better. (..yes, it's also on iPhings)

Here is an update to something that I’m not particularly sure anyone ever cared for. Its a toy and not a game.
I added “multiplayer” support so you can now use 4 wiimotes at a time. I added background music (White Cube Art Noise by essesq). Increased the number of gliders to 1000. Made them bounce when they hit the borders. I even improved performance.

News/release from Thatotherdev
Its always nice to go start something new, simple and a little bit weird to remind yourself why developing things is fun.
Hypno Blast is basically an on rails shooter but admittedly that was an afterthought. The visuals came first and what minimal gameplay there is was added to try and justify the little demos existence. Right now you just click on the purple circles to make them disappear but later I’ll add a scoring system along with a lose (and possibly a win) scenario.

Now with Cat Satisfaction meter, you have to use the Dpad to guide the cat , avoiding the green chickens and trying to get to the regular coloured chicken in a minimum of time.There is a cat satisfaction meter(thanks James for that idea,sort of, I put you in the credits) that goes down over time, so you gotta be quick to make the cat as satisfied as possible.It's possible to get a negative reading if you dawdle.

Marvell's been teasing potent little processors for over a year now, but we've yet to see the firm's Armada appear in anything we'd actually want... but co-founder Sehat Sutardja just let slip that Marvell silicon will power a genuine game console of some sort. "Approximately 15% of the sequential increase [in quarterly sales] was due to the initial production revenue from our ARMADA application processors, primarily as a result of a major customer preparing to launch a new gaming platform," he told investors in a conference call last week, which roughly translates to "We just sold a load of processors for a new game console, yo" if our business-speak is correct. While there's absolutely nothing connecting this transaction to Nintendo's 3DS (which was confirmed to have a Pica200 GPU), we honestly can't think of a single other game platform slated to launch anytime soon -- so don't be surprised if there's a quad-core Armada 600 under that variably-stereoscopic hood.

August 25th, 2010, 23:51 Posted By: wraggster
Today sees a massive day in the world of DS Homebrew, the DSI has now been breached for Homebrew in DSI Mode, heres the details from the excellent Wintermute:
It was about this time last year when I released open source save game hacks for two DSi hybrid games, Cooking Coach and Classic Word Games. I kind of expected somebody somewhere to pick these up and make them do something a little bit more useful than change the screen colors but it looks like I was a little optimistic on that front. Most people that have done anything at all seem to have been trying to do as much as possible in the 8KiB or so available in each save game. Interestingly not one single DSi hybrid game I’ve been able to find since appears to have no name entry – bit odd considering how easy it is to test for and correct buffer overflows for this specific situation. If anyone knows any different, please let me know.
Since last year I’ve spent a bit of time hunting around DSi hybrid games and playing around with a few ideas I had about how best to utilise the exploits for homebrew. Mostly I’ve been updating devkitARM & libnds with a few things needed to allow normally compiled homebrew to use the extra 12meg when run in DSi mode. I’m still a little undecided on how best to approach the hybrid model – Nintendo seem to be using a system where extra code is loaded in DSi mode from separate binaries in the .nds container format.
So anyway, lest I ramble on for several pages with background and random thoughts, on to the meat of this post. One of the first things that I did on getting into DSi mode was dump the DS mode firmware. As I expected this was identical to the dump made in DS mode – it contains only the wifi module settings and the user data at the end of a 128K flash chip. Most interesting of all was the large block of unwritten space between the two but unfortunately the first 64KiB is protected but that still leaves 61KiB writable – plenty for my nefarious purposes. After some further testing I confirmed that the wifi module flash chip could be written from DS mode and later read when we use the save game exploits to get into DSi mode. This gave me the motivation I needed to revisit a half finished project I had to upload homebrew to a DS over wifi. As an added bonus the wifi uploader also works with a standard DS, everything you need is in the archive.
Nintendo seem to have pre-empted an approach like this in more recent consoles, both the DSiXL and later model DSi units seem to deny write access to the wifi module chip. Even when using other methods to load code via the save exploits there seems to be no access to the wifi hardware at all – that’s probably dependent on a wifi enabled hybrid game. Whether Nintendo can or will update earlier units with similar security remains to be seen. Currently all early consoles I’ve tried this method with have been able to run code with wifi access regardless of updated firmware or not. I bought a DSiXL a few days ago to confirm this but I have another couple of methods which work on that – they’re not yet in a releasable state but hopefully that won’t be the case for long.
In order to use this method you’ll need three things, a DSi compatible flashcard, one of the two exploited games and a means to write to the eeprom on your chosen game. Eepinator will work if you have a standard DS or there are a couple of devices which allow you to do this from a PC. If you’re one of the many homebrewers who likes to play with mcus then you can probably rig up something with a dev board. I have an arduino and a Fletchtronics Bumble-b sitting at the back of my desk, I might have a play around with those over the next few days and post a howto for those. If you’ve already done something like that then please do get in touch, no point in reinventing the wheel.
One word of warning before we get to the all important download link. Nintendo will probably declare your warranty void due to unauthorised software so proceed at your own risk. This method also won’t allow you to run rom dumps and it’s not something I plan to support at any point in the future. Obviously I can’t control what you do when you have the ability to run code but please consider not releasing anything that’s piracy related or has the potential to enable piracy. I believe homebrew can thrive as long as we distance ourselves from the people who want to get their games for free.
The download is here for those able to try it.
Lets Hope Nintendo leave this alone long enough.

Metatarsal proposed version 0.92 alpha "PacMan E" excellent adaptation of the famous arcade game "Pac -Man"For the Nintendo DS.
I Thought It Would Be a good challenge to create Pacman from scratch with DSGM , with revised graphics for a fresh look. It's a pretty Accurate port with the original gameplay, scoring, score bonus items etc. Recreated as They Were in the original game. This has been " a great project to work on so far and if it continues I Will Receives Enthusiasm to Develop it .
Attached Is The Alpha version of the game ;
NB;
-The menu and highscore screenshots are not final
-I "intend to add in Some powerups ( deviating from the original Little )
- I May Incorporate fading later "
- Will Possibly add in trophies
- No sound in the alpha

The most active coder in Wii Homebrew is back with another release, heres another game from thatotherdev:
Here is an update to Avoidance.
I added support for nunchuck and classic controllers, added music (GET OUT OF MY ROOM!! by VideoJames), modified your motion blur/trail to not show your black outline and improved the games performance. I decreased the movement speeds per frame but with the higher frame rate I think it still works out to being a slightly faster game then it was previously. Its still manageable though especially if you play using an analog stick and the real difficulty still comes more from the crazy number of things on screen to avoid and less from how quickly they move at you. Your score increases faster now also.

How could we resist a story involving robot-powered babies? The Ithaca College Tots on Bots project aims to mobilize infants with physical disabilities by setting them atop a "mobile robot" equipped with a Wii Balance Board to let the young operator steer by leaning -- which, it turns out, works pretty well. Additionally, the vehicle uses sonar to avoid nasty crashes and a remote control that an adult can use to take control. Further study has to be made before any long term developmental benefits can be ascertained, but in the meantime it does look like a lot of fun.

Moreira has updated MazeOfGaliousWii to v0.63.3
Maze of Galious was an MSX game released in 1987 by Konami. In 2002, a remake of this game has been released by the Brain Games team:
http://www.braingames.getput.com/mog/default.asp
This remake is written in SDL, and is now ported to Wii.
Maze Of Galious is regarded as one of the greatest games for the MSX home computer, being released in 1987. While most of the console and home computer games back then had very simple gameplay, quite similar to arcade games, Maze of Galious was an epic action adventure. It mixed the mechanics of platform games with the exploration of huge maps. It required several hours to complete, a task nearly impossible to do in a single gaming session. Ttherefore, the game allowed the player to restore its progress through a very complex password system, very similar to the one found in [Metal Gear], also released by Konami in the same year.
However, since it is one of the earliest attempts at its genre, many of its gameplay aspects might seem odd by today's standards. There are very few in-game instructions, as the game assumes that the player would refer to the manual whenever required. So, if you never played the original game before, it is recommended to read the following reference, which contains instructions for the game (beware of spoilers, as this guide also contains a complete step-by-step walkthrough of the game):
http://bifi.msxnet.org/msxnet/konami/mog/
v0.63.3
New feature: Classic controller support added!
New feature: Graphics and sound themes are now selected via menus in the title screen or in the options screen. No longer directly via buttons and .
Change: Wiimote gameplay changed to be more "gamepad-friendly": Jump now uses a separate button (), and secondary weapons are activated by pressing +

Nintendo of America has announced price reductions for the DSi and DSi XL systems. Starting September 12, the handhelds will retail for $149.99 and 169.99, respectively.
Americans have been waiting patiently for this price drop, which occurred in the UK and Japan this June. The DSi had a price drop in Australia way back in April. We were all waiting for a price drop even before that, of course, since the 3DS is on the way to make both of these things appear a little more antiquated.

DacoTaco has released Priiloader v0.5
Priiloader is a modded version of Preloader. Just like preloader, Priiloader places itself in boot sequence before the system menu. By this priiloader has the ability to:
Patch memory just like StartPatch or Preloader. Hacks.ini should be on the sd root(only once, they get copied to NAND) and can be found here.
Save wii from banner & other kind of bricks that aren't ios/boot2/nand corruption related
Start something else than system menu on power up (a dol file, bootmii, homebrew channel)
Changelog
v0.5 : DacoTaco strikes Back
Redesigned a bit of the installer. it is now using the HW_AHBPROT flag set by HBC and no longer requires
a patched ios when run from HBC 1.0.7 or above. if it is run from < 1.0.7 then it still requires a patched IOS.
NOTE : the redesigned part of the installer is closed source for now cause of the used code
Booting a Dol/Title now stops the DVD drive as well
Titles list is now forced to display in english
Dropped Support of Cios
Added support for Homebrew channel 1.0.7&1.0.8 booting & reloading (in case of a DSI crash)
Added online Updating (full versions and beta versions. also language mods are available)
Added a password backdoor incase you forgot the password.To change the password temporary to "BackDoor"
press on the Password Screen "1" and then 4 times "2" on the Remote or "Y" and 4 times "X" on GC/Classic.
Added System Menu TMD patching for HW_AHBPROT so that applications started by Priiloader can enjoy the fun too
Fixed rare bug when Show Debug info was on and reset was pressed
Fixed some USB stuff
Fixed some title booting stuff (removed & moved to SD titles are not listed anymore)
Fixed the green bar that could show when booting system menu
Fixed .elf binary loading

News from Pate concerning His Dos Emulator for the DS:
Sorry, no new release of DSx86 today, as I have only been working on DS2x86 for the past two weeks. This porting work is progressing nicely, over half of the opcodes have been ported over to MIPS ASM. I have to mention, though, that the opcodes so far have been the easy ones (execpt the BCD opcodes), the more difficult opcodes like the string operations, shifts, INT and IRET, and port I/O are still ahead. These will take more time, and some of them will need some interfacing to the underlying hardware, so I can not just simply port them over from the ARM ASM code.
I am currently at opcode 0x8C, which is the mov r/m16,Sreg opcode, that is, moving a value from the segment register to memory or register. The problem above was caused by my tester code not yet supporting the FS and GS segment registers, while the CPU emulation already does this. So, every now and then I need to fix my tester program instead of the emulation code. :-)
Lazy Flags
Practically at the same time I started porting the opcode handlers from ARM ASM to MIPS ASM, I started thinking of ways to handle the Lazy Flags with the least amount of slowdown possible. Yesterday I figured out a method that is a little bit faster than the way I had when I started, so I spent a couple of hours refactoring all the opcodes I had already coded to use the new method. Too bad this did not occur to me earlier, but it is to be expected that I need to recode some parts of the code several times as I am still only learning the tricks in MIPS ASM.
I again used the DOSBox sources, together with the nice description at a www.emulators.com blog post, to figure out how the lazy flags need to work. There are six flags that change after each arithmetic operation in the x86 architecture, some of which are simple and some more difficult to determine after the operation. The flags are:
Carry flag. This determines the unsigned overflow of the operation.
Adjust Flag. This is similar to Carry, but for the low 4 bits of the operation.
Overflow flag. This determines the signed overflow of the operation.
Zero flag. This determines if the result was zero.
Sign Flag. This determines if the result was negative.
Parity flag. This determines the number of bits set in the low byte of the result.
The simple flags are Zero, Sign and Parity. Zero flag is set if the result was zero, Sign flag is set if the highest bit of the result was set, and Parity flag can be set by a 256-item lookup table based on the low byte of the result. These three flags behave similarly to all opcodes (that change flags), so they can be determined simply by the result of the last operation. The other three opcodes behave differently in different opcodes, so based on the calculation operations in the DOSBox sources I combined a list of the different cases, to see how these need to be handled. DOSBox names the result and operands lf_resd, lf_var1d and lf_var2d (for doubleword operands), and I named them lf_res, lf_val1 and lf_val2 in my code.
Carry
Unknown, INC, DEC, MUL: return previous flag state
ADD: return (unsigned)lf_res < (unsigned)lf_val1;
ADC: return ((unsigned)lf_res < (unsigned)lf_val1) || (lflags.oldcf && (lf_res == lf_val1));
SBB: return ((unsigned)lf_val1 < (unsigned)lf_res) || (lflags.oldcf && (lf_val2 == 0xffffffff));
SUB, CMP: return ((unsigned)lf_val1 < (unsigned)lf_val2);
SHL, SHR, SAR, ROL, ROR, RCL, RCR: All have different handling
NEG: return lf_val1;
OR, AND, XOR, TEST, DIV: return false;
Adjust
Unknown: return previous flag state
ADC, ADD, SBB, SUB, CMP: return ((lf_val1 ^ lf_val2) ^ lf_res) & 0x10;
INC: return (lf_res & 0x0f) == 0;
DEC: return (lf_res & 0x0f) == 0x0f;
NEG: return lf_val1 & 0x0f;
SHL, SHR, SAR: return lf_val2 & 0x1f;
OR, AND, XOR, TEST, DIV, MUL: return false;
Overflow
Unknown, MUL: return previous flag state
ADD, ADC: return ((lf_val1 ^ lf_val2 ^ 0x80000000) & (lf_res ^ lf_val2)) & 0x80000000;
SBB, SUB, CMP: return ((lf_val1 ^ lf_val2) & (lf_val1 ^ lf_res)) & 0x80000000;
INC: return (lf_res == 0x80000000);
DEC: return (lf_res == 0x7fffffff);
NEG: return (lf_val1 == 0x80000000);
SHL: return (lf_res ^ lf_val1) & 0x80000000;
SHR: if ((lf_val2&0x1f)==1) return (lf_val1 > 0x80000000); else return false;
OR, AND, XOR, TEST, SAR, DIV: return false;
Based on these lists, it seemed to me that the Carry flag will be the most difficult and time-consuming to calculate. Besides the obvious conditional jump opcodes, there are many other opcodes (ADC, SBB, RCL, RCR, CMC) that need the current Carry flag value as their input. Also the shift opcodes change and use the Carry flag in various ways, so it seemed to me that using a switch statement -style code to calculate the Carry flag lazily whenever it is needed will really slow down those operations. So, I decided to see how much extra code I would need if I went for a direct Carry flag calculation in each of the opcodes. It turned out that most of the times it only takes one ASM operation to calculate the Carry flag after the operation, so this is how I currently handle the Carry flag.
I also noticed that if I calculate the Carry flag separately, I can fake the lf_val1 and lf_val2 values in opcodes like INC and DEC to give me the correct Adjust flag value when using the same calculation code as the normal ADD/SUB opcodes use. So I was able to simplify the Adjust flag calculation to the one case: ((lf_val1 ^ lf_val2) ^ lf_res) & 0x10. This just left the Overflow flag which needs separate cases for each opcode type. I use one of the MIPS general purpose registers to keep track of the last opcode type, along with registers for the last result and operands, so that the Overflow flag can be calculated lazily whenever needed. I hope to figure out some speedups for this as well, but for now it will have to do.
To show an example of the actual opcode handling and what the Lazy Flag handling requires, here is the handler for ADC r/m8,r8 opcode when the left operand is a memory address. In DS2x86 I decided to have #defines for all the registers I use for emulation, so I don't need to remember which MIPS register was which. I did not do this in DSx86, and that caused some wrong register usage from time to time.
.macro adc_effseg_reg8l reg
get_CF_into t3 // t3 = Carry flag value
li lf_type, OF_CALC_ADD | 24 // Remember the operation type and shift value for Lazy Flags
lbu lf_val1, 0(eff_seg) // Load the left operand from RAM
andi lf_val2, \reg, 0xFF // Remember the right operand for Lazy Flags
addu t3, lf_val1 // t3 = lf_val1 + Carry
addu lf_res, t3, lf_val2 // lf_res = lf_val1 + Carry + lf_val2
srl t0, lf_res, 8 // t0 = Carry value
sb lf_res, 0(eff_seg) // Save the result to RAM
andi lf_res, 0xFF // Remember only the low 8 bits for Lazy Flags
j set_carry_from_t0 // Back to loop
.endm
The get_CF_into macro looks like the following. It is a macro so that I can later change how the Carry flag is calculated without having to change all the code that uses it (just in case I still need to revert back to lazy calculation of the Carry flag). The set_carry_from_t0 code is immediately before the opcode loop handler, as many opcodes jump there to store the t0 register value back into the flags register lowest bit. When calculating the Carry flag immediately, Carry is simply the 8th bit of the result, so I can just shift it to the lowest bit of t0 register and don't need to handle the complex ((unsigned)lf_res < (unsigned)lf_val1) || (lflags.oldcf && (lf_res == lf_val1)) algorithm at all!
.macro get_CF_into reg
andi \reg, flags, 1
.endm
As you can see from this code, even just remembering the result and operands for later calculation of Lazy Flags takes a lot of code, in this case 4 of the 10 ASM operations are there just to get the later flags calculation to give correct result. When coding for the ARM ASM I did not need any of these, as the ARM can keep track of the flags by itself. Thus, DS2x86 will not be as much faster than DSx86 as the difference in the CPU clock speeds would make you think.

LeAnonymous proposes preview "Wii Mario Sokoban" wii port of sokoban PC with the famous mustachioed plumber through which passed much of the French devs through a tutorial site zero .
So it works with the Wiimote vertically , cross direction to move to the next level , you have to press "1 " then " B " and to move to the previous level is " 2 "and " B " . For cons , the game contains only two levels , but there is a level editor (available in a binary below ). Create levels: To create levels , launch " Wii Mario Sokoban Editor " and then look registration in the bottom right and select the level you want to create / edit buttons with the cross up and down . If you want to change a level , choose "Level 1 "or "Level 2 " , if you want to create one, select "Level 3 "or more. You place your objects by pointing and clicking "A " , subject to change is " + "and "Home ". When finished , press "2 " , quit with " Home " ( without pressing "+ "just before , otherwise it changes its object and it is useless ^ ^ ) , run " Sokoban Mario Wii "and your level is ready ! If I wrote all this is that I struggled to understand everything , I would not think it happens to you ^^...
Hello everyone,
After having finished the TP Mario Sokoban in the third part of the tutorial teo21 M @ C , I decided to bring the game on the Wii and I did thanks to the tutorial and Gambit2099 snake_48 ( thank you to them! by cons I still do not have to play the music ) .
I made several changes to my program and after several hours of debugging here is what happens :
There are two programs in fact, the game itself and the publisher.
The game: You can move through the level, move the blocks , if you're ever stuck you can restart the level or load another . A text at the bottom of the screen tells you the level number where you are. When you get to finish the level nothing happens , you simply load a new one or quit the game
Editor : With the wiimote you move the cursor , you can load a level and modify, or create a new one and save it . The icon of the cursor image of the object you 're placing in the level. You can of course change has been placed ( boxes, player's position, etc. ) .
