Well, this is certainly a great surprise for Labor Day. We're pretty sure one of these Virtual Console games needs no introduction or description. It just needs your money.
Clu Clu Land (NES®, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points): Obviously the greatest game about a sea urchin ever conceived. Obviously.
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (Super NES, 1 player, 800 Wii Points): A little-known collaboration between small developer Square Enix (at the time an even tinier Squaresoft) and struggling console maker Nintendo. The game is virtually unknown in all parts of the world.

description
You are a ninja in N+. Your god-like speed, dexterity, jumping power, and reflexes are all the result of an amazingly fast metabolism; sadly, so is your natural lifespan of 1.5 minutes.
Like all Ninjas, you have an unquenchable thirst for gold and a natural propensity for exploring rooms infested by increasingly lethal Ninja-killing robots. N emphasizes pacifism, humility, and the need to traverse 5 rooms before the end of your lifetime; a feat known only as ‘beating an episode’.
In accordance with the teachings of N, it is your profound hope that one day you will develop your platforming skills, intelligence, and inexplicable ability to reincarnate to achieve total mastery of all 300 levels.

Newly released at SuccessHK (who are one of the only stores to ship consoles and games worldwide)
Mario Super Sluggers stars the ever-lovable Mario and his crew of friends. It builds on the social-gaming fun and movements people learned in Wii Sports and turns them into a full-fledged baseball game that can be played by every member of the household. Players make a throwing motion with the Wii Remote controller to pitch the baseball and make a swinging motion to swing at the pitch. The game boasts more than 30 playable Nintendo characters and all the madness of a Mario sports game. Just like Mario Kart Wii, it bridges the gap between experienced players and those new to the Wii console, with fun challenges and beautiful graphics.

The ScummVM Team has released a new version of ScummVM for tons of consoles and Operating Systems,
Heres the release details:
We can call it a tremendous development. Half a year since 0.11.1 passed pretty quickly, and we are pleased to announce the release of 0.12.0!
This new version of ScummVM adds support for 5 completely new games. The games that now run smoothly on many more platforms than was initially intended are: The Legend of Kyrandia: Book Two: Hand of Fate, The Legend of Kyrandia: Book Three: Malcolm's Revenge, Lost in Time, The Bizarre Adventures of Woodruff and the Schnibble and Drascula: The Vampire Strikes Back.
The number of supported platforms grew as well. The PS2 port has been revived, and the GameCube and Wii are now supported too. Take your Wiimote and make your beloved adventure game protagonist run around the screen  .
For those new to ScummVM heres a description:
ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!
Some of the adventures ScummVM supports include Adventure Soft's Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2; Revolution's Beneath A Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1 and Broken Sword 2; Flight of the Amazon Queen; Wyrmkeep's Inherit the Earth; Coktel Vision's Gobliiins; Westwood Studios' The Legend of Kyrandia and games based on LucasArts' SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) system such as Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max and more. You can find a thorough list with details on which games are supported and how well on the compatibility page. ScummVM is continually improving, so check back often.
Heres the release notes:
0.12.0 (2008-08-31)

release notes).
- Plugged numerous memory leaks in all engines (part of GSoC'08 task),
- Added audio double buffering to the SDL backend, which fixes the
problems with the MT-32 emulator on Mac OS X (for now only enabled
on Mac OS X).
AGOS:
- Fixed crashes during certain music in Amiga versions of Elvira 1 and
Simon the Sorcerer 1.
- Fixed palette issues in Amiga versions of Simon the Sorcerer 1.
Queen:
- Speech is played at the correct sample rate. (It used to be pitched a bit

Here's a great example of why you shouldn't sleep in. Every week, Nintendo sends out a release about its new downloadable game offerings of the week. My dear, close friend Ross, still flush with joy from his trip to PAX, gets to the email first and ends up writing about the Virtual Console release, the totally awesome Super Mario RPG while I, still groggy from choosing a Sunday night to make myself the Mayor of Lower New Drunkington, get to write about the WiiWare side of the coin: My Aquarium (Hudson Entertainment, 1 player, 500 Wii Points).
So, here we go: My Aquarium is a virtual aquarium, similar to a real aquarium in every way except that it never forces you to teach your children complicated and often troubling lessons about death.

Eidos has given its Gauntlet DS game a launch window of October.
It's the same top-down affair you'd expect, with zombie swarms attacking in their numbers over 40 maps across three realms.
As well as the facelift, the new game also packs co-op and competitive multiplayer modes that work both locally and over the internet, and a full ranking system that tracks your performance. It also allows for voice chat during games, so you can shout "IN YOUR FACE" at your opponents.

News/release from Jayenkai
I was initially going to release the super-quick "Just the editor, and a few levels" version, but as I sorted a few bugs, more and more of the game got fixed as well, and then I added the whole main menu, and things started to take a more "proper" form.. so..
JNKPlat DS 08
The Download
JNKPlat DS 08 : Complete with dldi version and non-dldi version. (.sc.nds/.ds.gba/.nds for each)
Shove it in the root, DLDI it if necessary, and add the JNKPlat folder for your saves.
Enjoy, complain, rant and rave.
The Game
A simple puzzle platform game. Get to the exit to complete each level.
Be aware, though.. This game is more a Puzzle game than it is a Platformer. There are many weird grid-based things that are leftovers from that style. Most noticable is Platdude's very specific Jump. One up, Three across.
The Blue Circles (Super Precious Gems!!) are collectable. You don't need them, but there's a total on the main menu. Get 'em all, and you get to say "I got 'em all!"
The Controls
There's two jump buttons, and a hold button.
The hold button, B, can be used to dangle from hooks, vines and red floors. It can also be used to drag red boxes.
The two jump buttons, Y and A, jump left and right respectively. It's easy once you try. If you really dislike it, you can switch to single button jump on the main menu, but I wouldn't recommend it! Some things happen too quickly to stop and turn around!
The Level Packs
Level packs can contain many many levels, but each level must be played in the order layed out in the pack.
No saves! If you die 3 times, you're right back at the start.
The Editor
Tap the middle icon on the titlescreen to enter the editor.
Draw a level.
Hold a trigger, and a Wipe/Quit and Test button appear at the bottom. If you test a level, and subsequently complete it, and you can then also Save it from this same Trigger-based menu. Note : You can only save a level if you've managed to complete it! You don't need all the gems, but you do need to get to the exit.
The level will be added as a simple line of ascii text, to the bottom of the JNKPlat/MyLevs.lev file on your card (assuming you're using the DLDI version, and have added the JNKPlat folder to the root.)
Each line is it's own level. Feel free to copy+paste these lines to build up your own little level packs.
The Linkage
Socoder.net - AGameAWeek.com
http://socoder.net/
http://agameaweek.com/
The Request
If you make any levels, send 'em my way! The next release should be ready in a couple of weeks time. (or maybe before, if I get plenty of levels!)

News/release from rck
You've seen this animation a hundred times. At least. The point is, you can ignore the animation part of this release. I've released this because of some strange things I've seen happening here as well as in PolyTouch. From the known bug list of Qix:
- Has a similar graphics-memory problem like PolyTouch.
- when you start Qix, you should immediately see a cyan dot
pattern. This pattern is not supposed to be there.
- if you set the left limiter to 32 or higher values, the dot
pattern disappears
- if you set the lower limiter to exactly 160, the whole
screen is filled with cyan lines -- nothing else can be
seen.
Can anyone confirm this?

Hello!
I have released version 0.1alpha3 of my first real project for the DS.
It is called DSwiki, and it is an offline viewer for the wikipedia or all other wikis which are based on the mediawiki framework.
A sample wiki (German Wikiquotes) is available here: http://dswiki.googlecode.com/files/D...ample-data.zip
The interface language is german, but there are only some status messages.
Pre-made wikipedia-dumps for DSwiki
German edition: http://dswiki.googlecode.com/files/D...080712.torrent
English edition: http://dswiki.googlecode.com/files/D...080724.torrent
More instructions on the installation und usage can be found in the README below. Two images are attached, the first showing a normal wiki article, the second showing the very good Unicode support.
Please test DSwiki and give me some feedback.
Have Fun!

DSwiki (v0.1alpha3)
=====================
DSwiki is an offline viewer for Wiki markup, for example for the
Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wiktionaries, ...
DSwiki is NOT a web browser!
Why DSwiki?
=============
DSwiki is optimal for all people with a Nintendo DS that like to
have their information "portable", but cannot access the Internet
directly. So far, no Program was very good in displaying the
Wikipedia on the DS. NewDictS can display an uncompressed dump, but
this dump is outdated, and the Wikipedia has grown dramatically
since then, so compression was absolutely necessary. In addition,
most homebrew programs can't handle UTF-8.
DSwiki is based on
====================
-- NewDictS <http://tvgame360.com.tw/viewthread.php?tid=21913&extra=&page=1>
Thanks to sesa for graphics-/unicode- and font-routines
-- Wiki2Touch <http://code.google.com/p/wiki2touch/>
Thanks to Tom Haukap for the file format and index routines
-- libbzip2 <http://bzip.org/>
-- Terminus fonts <http://www.is-vn.bg/hamster/>
-- GNU Unifont <http://www.czyborra.com/unifont/> [DOWN]
<http://unifoundry.com/unifont.html>
Thanks to Roman Czyborra
Features
==========
-- Get the complete(!) Wikipedia on a Nintendo DS. The English language
edition fits on a 4GB storage device, the German edition is just 1.1GB.
-- Quite good handling of internal links. Alternative display text
and appended letters are supported to create the same look as
in the online version.
-- Very good Unicode/UTF8-Support (as much - or as little - as the
underlying font covers)
-- A cache to navigate quickly the history of visited pages
Planned Features
==================
-- Much better markup display
-- Bookmarks
-- Improved Search (advanced input)
-- Navigation by document structure (jump to headlines or
jump from link to link as in text browsers)
-- "Find as you type" inside an article
-- Memory saving font handling, switching between fonts on the fly
-- Customization
Use
=====
At the moment DSwiki can't do more than display mostly unformatted
wiki markup of articles (but word and line breaks and a proportional
font make it easy readable).
DSwiki works as follows:
A random article will be loaded at the start.
Up/Down: Scroll one line backward/forward
Left/Right: Scroll one page backward/forward
Stylus: Follow a link on the bottom screen
L/R: Go one page back/forward in history
A: Go to another random article
X: Index-assisted search on/off
Articles names (no unicode yet) can be entered
on the keyboard.
Touching the red button clears the input field.
The D-Pad navigates through the index.
The current highlighted article name can be loaded
either by
* touching the green button
* pressing A
* touching Enter on the virtual keyboard
Installation
==============
1. Copy DSwiki.nds somewhere on your flash card, DLDI-patch it if
necessary.
2. Create dumps of your favorite wiki or download already prepared ones.
Visit <http://code.google.com/p/dswiki/wiki/Dumps> for a list.
3. Copy dewiki.ao1, dewiki.ao2, dewiki.dbz, dewiki.idx and dewiki.ifo
into the root directory of your flash card.
IMPORTANT: These names are fixed at the moment, so use them
anyway, even if you want to use a different language/wiki.
Bugs/Issues
=============
-- The german article "ß" is not found correctly.
Have Fun!

FretFury is a homebrew in the making that utilizes the Guitar Grip that comes with Guitar Hero: On Tour for the Nintendo DS. If you don't have the Guitar Grip, there is a version where you use the Y,X,B,A buttons!
the current version is V1.1. Fretfury promises in a later version to have the ability to add your own songs, change the sprites, and possibly even multiplayer.

Speed! is a port of an old Amiga game. It's a first-person racer - the goal is to just run through a maze as fast as possible. The original really never made it past a demo, so there is only one level. It is, however, a lot of fun once you get the hang of it. Lots of practice is required for good times!
My personal record is 11:56.

Legion is a top-view 3D shooter set in a post-apocalyptic universe comparable to that of the Fallout series. It is both playable online with 3 other players and offline, as there is a very complete story going through 12 different levels in which you'll be killing bad guys, bosses, driving vehicles...

Hi!
I'm glad to present here an updated version of the one I submitted to the Neo Compo, I hope you'll enjoy it.
For those who are wondering, it's labelled "preview" because there's still much more level elements and 3D engine improvements to be added which already on my to-do list. I wanted to release the current version as I'm not sure when it will be finished...
If you have some ideas or suggestions on how to improve my game, don't hesitate I'll also gladly accept user-made levels to include them in new scenarios.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quick presentation: Marble is a complete remake of the classic wood labyrinth game, in full 3D (both screen) with realistic physics, mp3 music, on-DS visual level editor and more...
Features:
- Physics engine, with realistic collision simulation
- Full 3D on both screens, either as one big screen or with 2 different views
- Skybox to simulate 360° environment
- Advanced 3D effects: point light simulation, projected shadows, motion blur...
- Full MP3 music & 3D sounds
- Special bonuses and scenery effects (let's try this mushroom...)
- Integrated (on DS) full featured 3D level editor
- High score & progression saving
- 25 levels, with various environment and progressive difficulty (6 differents scenarios)
- Full motion sensor support
How to play:
- Motion sensor : just tilt the DS, and the board will tilt the same way (DON'T FORGET TO CALIBRATE YOUR MOTION SENSOR CORRECTLY WHEN PROMPTED!)
- Stylus : Hold the stylus down on the center on the screen, then slightly move in the desired direction to tilt the board. When the pressure is released, the board will come back to a flat position.
Press select at anytime to save a screenshot in .bmp format (the game will freeze for a short time during the file write).
How to install:
1. Copy the "marble" folder found in the archive in the root of your flashcard.
2. Copy the file "marble.nds" (or "marble.ds.gba" if your flashcard doesn't work with .nds files) on your flashcard.
Do the next step only if you encounter problems running the homebrew or have the "error initializing file system" message on loading.
3. Apply the DLDI patch corresponding to your flashcard on the "marble.nds" file.
Go to http://chishm.drunkencoders.com/DLDI/ for the patches and instructions on how to do it.
Website:
http://nodadev.wordpress.com
- 29/08/08 : Version Preview 2
------------------------------
= lots of bugfixes in the level editor
= fixed the lock element bug
+ added an auto-repeat function to editor's buttons, it's now more user-friendly to adjust values
+ added top screen camera view smoothing, no more headaches when using DS motion
+ improved the stylus controls, it's now less sensitive (use a quadratic scale instead of a linear one)
+ added 1 new scenario with 3 new levels, to adjust difficulty progression balance

Hello friends and fellow consumers of Kikkoman Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce.
STOP AT 500 is a classic game that is wonderfully remade in this new classic, STOP AT 500 for the Nintendo DS. Featuring nostalgic console-like graphics, this game will provide addicting, hours of enjoyment to come. The objective of STOP AT 500 is simple. Simply press the touch screen when the counter reaches exactly 500. If you pressed the counter and it stops at 500, congratulations! You are the winner. If the counter is under or over 500, though, you lose.
Although the objective is simple, the achieving of this goal is difficult to master, because of the fast nature of the counter. This puzzle will endlessly confuse you as you are addicted to the game, constantly attempting to find a better way to reach exactly 500. For the Nintendo DS, the game has been remade to use the unique feature of the Nintendo DS - the touch screen. To all who download this game, enjoy! And please vote for me as the homebrew bountry winner. I will be sure to buy lots of Kikkoman Naturally Brewed Soy Sauce.

Themepark posted this in the Homebrew Bounty:
I proudly present my first real project: Neko DS.
Neko DS (Neko being the Japanese word for cat) is a port of an old PC application back from the 80's. When run, you would have a cat on your screen who would chase your mouse cursor around, scratch on the screen, take a nap and various other stuff.
Since this application has always been very close to my heart, I decided to try and port this to the DS.
This is only a very simple beginning of what I intend to end of with, but fully functional none the less. In the future I want to have the sprites incorporated into the NDS via EFS, have the user being able to choose between different Nekos from EFS and FAT, and perhaps as a last update be able to have several Nekos running around on the screen.
I hope you will enjoy this application as much as I have over the years.
CODEChangelog:
- Version 1.0.1:
- Removed Neo Geo splash.
- Fixed "sleep running" bug.
- Changed cat speed.

Thanks to DS Scene for pointing me onto this and other releases from ndsuncensored
News/release from afflictive
The "game" is extremely basic, with not much to see. Eventually I would hope to gather a bunch of good touching scenes from other games and combine them all into one big fapathon.
File should be attached!
Also, I'm having trouble finding reasonable uncensored hentai games to rip so if anybody knows some names I should look up, please tell!

News/release from Digital Satin Productions
Okay so this is just the first day of the game and doesn't really "show" anything but I figured I would release it anyways to show how progress has been going. The game is entirely controlled by the stylus; button control is not yet supported. As this is an early version, I have prepared both the complete demo as well as a version without sound. Of course, if you skip the sound you skip half the experience, but I think that's acceptable at this early stage.
Download URL(s)
Complete demo:
http://www.digitalsatin.com/en/fr_demo_1.rar
No sound version:
http://www.digitalsatin.com/en/fr_demo_1_nosound.rar
When you get to the end of the first day, the game won't proceed any further, it will simply loop back to where it was before. This is not an error, that's the way the code is designed to work. Since the game's not complete yet, there isn't anything else to run so it just loops back.

Completed:
various stages where you touch the girl and takes you to the next stage. 5 stages in total

Newly released today:
The NDS simulation RPG is a sequel to the highly acclaimed Xbox360 game, Blue Dragon.
Blue Dragon Plus takes place a year after the ending of its predecessor and therefore provides answers to some questions left over and wrapped up lose ends, and not to mention, more shadows.
As your chances for adventures increased, so does the number allies, powers and enemies. The idea of the shadow control system is further developed in this sequel, giving you more opportunities to mix and match skills.
With all the special Shadow skills and exciting party battles, have a towel ready when you play this game as you don't want your DS to slip from your grip because of the sweat from your palms.

On Sale at Divineo USA
Datel have posted details on a new Homebrew and More cart for DS, Lets hope its better than recent creations 
Action Replay DS uses real cheat codes to give you exciting cheats like Infinite Lives, Infinite Health, All Vehicles and more. The new Media Edition also boasts a powerful media player for movies, music and home brew games.
Action Replay DS Media Edition has the power to blow your NDS games wide open. Our dazzlingly dynamic device uses real cheat codes to get to the heart of your NDS games, giving you enhancements such as Infinite Lives, Infinite Health, All Vehicles, All Levels and other exciting cheats. But it’s so much more than just a cheat system. It also includes a media player to play movies and music stored on a MicroSD card (not supplied), and can even run home brew software written for the NDS!
Action Replay DS Media Edition is really easy to use. You simply insert the supplied Action Replay cartridge into your DS or DS Lite, and switch on. When prompted, remove the Action Replay card and replace it with your game card. Action Replay recognises the title in question and offers you the title's code list. It's that easy! Like previous versions of Action Replay, Action Replay DS Media Edition is fully updateable, so you don't need to buy a new one when new games are released; just update your Action Replay over the internet using the PC app supplied. You can also enter codes manually using Action Replay's virtual keyboard. Our code creators are always hard at work on the latest DS titles, so even the very latest games will be trained and tamed within hours of hitting the shelves.
But it’s more than just a game enhancer. Action Replay DS Media Edition also offers a powerful media player, with which you can play your movie and music files. Using the product’s powerful media utilities, you can convert just about any movie format ready for playback on your Action Replay DS Media Edition. It’s easy to transfer converted movies and MP3 music files to your device too, with drag-and-drop convenience.
As well as music and movies, Action Replay DS Media Edition also lets you play home brew games, utilities and demos written for the DS and distributed for free on the internet. Not every program will work with Action Replay DS Media Edition, but that’s the nature of home brew. Even so, there’s plenty great material out there that plays just fine, and the list is growing all the time. We’ve even thrown in a collection of 25 home brew games to get you started – just drag and drop them from your Action Replay DS Media Edition CD onto your MicroSD card (not supplied) and you’re away!
And to cap it all, Action Replay DS Media Edition also offers a sizzling saves manager called DataMAX, a complete solution for backing up, restoring and exchanging your NDS game saves. DataMAX lets you save multiple times in games like Pokémon, which would otherwise let you make only one save at a time, meaning two or more people can play on the same game cart without interfering with each others’ games!
Action Replay DS Media Edition includes an Action Replay DS cartridge, a media software disc, a USB cable and a MicroSD card reader. The MicroSD card is not supplied – buy it separately and choose your own capacity. Action Replay DS Media Edition is compatible with both the original DS and the DS Lite. To update the device, a PC running Windows XP, 200 or Vista (32 bit) and connected to the internet is required.
Features
Compatible with DS and DS Lite.
Real cheat codes on your NDS.
Packed with codes for all the top games.
Easy to use.
Fully updateable via your PC.
Manual code entry available.
Play movie and music files through the media player.
Includes conversion software for movie files.
Run home brew software such as games and apps.
Back up, restore and manage your game saves.
If anyone gets one tell us what they are like

The port was originally done by softdev, and was updated by askot and dsbomb, along with many others along the way. A lot of the work I've done to it is thanks to the code from other emulators. Most of the features from the last 1.0.9 release should be working. Enjoy!
Code:
[What's New 2.0.0]
* Complete rewrite based on code from SNES9x GX and Genesis Plus GX
* Wiimote, Nunchuk, and Classic controller support
* Button mapping for all controller types
* Full support for SD, USB, DVD, GC Memory Card, and Zip files
* Game starts immediately after loading
* Load/save preference selector. ROMs, saves, and preferences are
saved/loaded according to these
* Preliminary Windows file share loading/saving (SMB) support on Wii:
You can input your network settings into FCEUGX.xml, or edit
fceuconfig.cpp from the source code and compile.
* 'Auto' settings for save/load - attempts to automatically determine
your load/save device(s) - SD, USB, Memory Card, DVD, SMB
* Preferences are loaded and saved in XML format. You can open
FCEUGX.xml edit all settings, including some not available within
the program
* One makefile to make all versions

News/release from bigfish
Hello, I'm the maker of this program. I have made a newer version of this program with bug fixes, but this project is pretty much abandoned, at least for the DS. (I really like this program myself and might try to make an enhanced PC port, but who knows...) I quite literally forgot about this project and thought this topic died a long time ago. o_o
The new version has typing text, but probably will not have picture support. The source is included in this release too, so if anyone wants to continue this project feel free. It also fixes some annoying bugs like the screen messing up if you have too long of text.

This is a clone of the original menu loader, but it has not all of it's patches, because I have no import games to test region free. (But I've included a patch to override the region setting to JP, US or EU.) I've tested it with version 3.2E Systemmenu. The patches are all discovered by me, no reversing of the original menu loader was done (only "No sound.bin" is from sadmenu  ). (But I don't know if my patching methods are the best, so critique is welcome.)
Controls:
[Up/Down] to scroll the list.
[Left/Right] to change settings.
[A] to launch the menu.
[B] to exit.

Warner Bros. will publish Fun Park, a theme park party game for DS later this year and here are seven new screens.
As the release explains: "Players are tasked with quests that encourage them to explore the park's universe. After creating a unique custom character, Fun Park patrons can test their skills, win prizes, and play against friends and family with 40 mini-games."
Supposedly, the game will "bring the thrills and chills of a theme park to family living rooms worldwide". Hmm...
Wii and PS2 versions are also on the way. Check out the DS screens here.

Taiwan-based Eng Electronic is making a Wii clone, with NES, photo, and media playing capability. Their product is called Winner, and it comes in basketball, tennis, and boxing varieties (and baseball and bowling, and...well you can scroll. And incidentally the boxing one is called Mortal Combat), and you can see youtube videos of some of these here, here, here (says boxing, but is baseball), and here, where you can see the options with the NES and media center. The Korean site Videogamerx has news that the Winner is coming to arcades as well, as ActionFun. It's good to see the Taiwanese Nintendo pirating industry expanding beyond the NES so effectively this generation, though they're clearly bringing the NES along for the ride...
Let's end with some choice words from ENG Electronic itself: "Breakthrough Innovation, Quality Assurance, and Customer Satisfaction make ENG the preferred OEM partner of leading global distributors of Electronic Coin Acceptor, Gaming/Amusement machines and Vending Kiosks."

In case you missed it, Nintendo and 54 other companies are engaged in a legal battle against the forces of evil. Evil being the R4 cart for the DS. One of those 54 other companies is Capcom, and in a conference call they explained the reason behind their participation in the suit:
There are companies that sell downloads without any license in the U.S.A., while a considerable number of pirated copies of game software are available in the Chinese market. In response to these situations, this lawsuit took the initiative for the whole industry in terms of taking countermeasures. It does not necessarily have a great effect at this stage, but we intend to send a wake-up call to such companies in the future.
That last line's interesting. Particularly if you're involved with the R4 - or other similar devices - and your boots were previously shaking. Their heart's not really in it!

There's a slight slant to one Japanese publisher's upcoming game lineup. See if you can figure out which system Marvelous Entertainment is betting on.
The publisher offered a preliminary look yesterday at its Tokyo Game Show lineup. Here's the list of games to expect in the firm's booth next month:
Wii
Arc Rise Fantasia
Rune Factory Frontier
Harvest Moon Waku Waku Animal March
Hitman Reborn! Kindan no Yami no Delta
Oboro Muramasa Youtouden
Little King Story
DS
Avalon Code
Akagawa Jiro Mystery Tsuki no Hikari.
PSP
Ikki Tousen Eloquent Fist.
PS2
Katei Kyoshi Hitman Reborn! Kindan no Yami no Delta
Junjou Romachika Koi no Doki Doki Daisakusen
Zero no Tsukai Ma Mayogo no Period to Ikusen no Symphony
Of these, all but Little King Story will playable.
This is just an initial glimpse at the Marvelous lineup. The publisher is promising more titles, including surprises, to be revealed at the special TGS site it has set up. You can go there now for some wallpaper.
TGS will be held from October 9 to October 12. IGN will, as always, have full coverage, but those who really want to experience the event first hand should fly to Japan for October 11 and 12, the two public days.

You'll turn blue, pass out. Well, according to this rumor French Wii news site Wiiz is running that says the game won't be out something like Winter 2009. Ubisoft's announced the game is using the MotionPlus add-on, so maybe it'll be there when the peripheral launches — but for Ubisoft's sake, we hope that doesn't happen. The last thing we need is another rushed Red Steel game. Well that, and pictures of Ubisoft devs with the Wii-mote.

Hi guys,
I recently completed a port a little while ago of the classic DOS game 'Sopwith' for the Gamecube.
For those of you who aren't aware, Sopwith is a little 2D freeware action game for the PC from back in the 80s that sort of received a bit of a cult following. In it, you fly a little biplane around blowing stuff up and trying not to get shot down (and also trying not to blow yourself up or crash. ).
Here's a link with the details which in turn has a link to the Google code page where you can download the source and executables if you're interested:
http://www.blarworld.net/software.html
Thanks,
Ben

bonx offers its new version Xavprog.
The application always multi-console (Xbox360, Wii and PS3) is now in version 1.0.0.5.
Reminders:
Quote:
Xavprog is a flasher via a chip Infectus nand put on your Wii. Much more powerful and stable than that proposed by the Team Infectus.
Note: To use the utility you need to install the driver created by bonx:
Quote:
The soft uses neither the driver nor the dll infectus, it uses a driver-based bookstore libusb32 It is therefore necessary to install in place of that of infectus.
Changes compared to the previous version:
-- Intelligence automatic first and last block after identification of the nand
-- Fixed parameters not updated for the nand of the wii (forced to manually select in advance)

Thanks to dsscene for finding a release ive not seen before. Heres the info:
This is another brew by MeRAMAN. A version of Tetris that seems to have an online wifi ranking built into it. (Gotta love that Gradius font). I must admit i haven't actually tried it yet but the latest version i could find on his server was from the 15th of August. On the homepage i noticed one listed as 2008/08/29 but couldn't find a download for it. The zip is 25MB so i just uploaded it to rapidshare to save a bit of bandwidth.
Google Translation (WarBird was afk)
NDS_TGM_20080815 (46.7MByte)
Major changes []
* Ti corresponding animation background
* SHIRASE / BIG BIG dissolved Lv.1300's role will be to fix
* SHIRASE W10/BIG the roll after only two changes to applaud more than off-line
* SHIRASE increasing sinking stage to add sound SE
SE * OPTION menu to add sound test
* Implementation of a seven-color animated fireworks
* PAUSE when returning from the screensaver to improve the handling
* Once PAUSE when the area was abolished after the PAUSED
* Title, Option hours off the clock to fix the time of deep black (remove)
* NitroFS environment is not available, the boot time to stop to fix
* NitroFS order to search, GBA ROM > FAT instead, FAT ? GBA ROM change
In this column directly affect the game is not supposed to be, but there is no change,
SHIRASE / BIG BIG dissolved Lv.1300's role as a direct point of impact.
Fireworks animation in the future and SUTAFFURORU BRAVO! Implementation (considering)
Should be used than ever before. The rest is, for example EASY to implement the
LEVEL net in the ranking, but a number of fireworks and rank
It is rather interesting.

Tricforce has found another great piece of homebrew for the DS, heres what he posted:
While browsing the net in the hope i might find some new obscure homebrew games, i stumbled across a Japanese site by MeRAMAN, which has a few brews that must have gone unnoticed by most people in the scene. This one was released back in April as far as i can tell. It's just a ridiculous game where you can press the buttons to change the characters expressions, move them up and down, or throw onions.

Sega has an all new Shining Force game in development for the DS. The latest issue of Famitsu has a first report on Shining Force Feather.
In Shining Force Feather, players take control of main character Jin, a treasure hunter and wanderer. The game takes place 3,000 years following the war between the Shining Force warriors and enemy forces known as the Kyomu. That war is remembered primarily as artifacts, which is where Jin comes into the picture.
On one of his treasure hunts, Jin discovers Alfeen who, while looking like a young lady, is actually a machine. A remnant from the war of 3,000 years ago, Alfeen is used to control an air ship. The only reason she survived to modern times is that she was a backup control unit and was never put to use. Believing Jin to be her master, she powers up an air ship that was used during the Shining Force times.
This is where the story begins, with Jin and Alfeen traveling the world. Joining them is Bail, a centaur and childhood friend of Jin.
Feather will feature a turn-based strategic battle system with an overhead perspective. Select an enemy for attack, and the game switches to a side perspective. Here, the battle system takes on somewhat of an action feel as you press buttons to select from various actions.
In addition to solo attacks, the battle system will allow players to team up their forces for combination attacks.
The title represents somewhat of multi-part collaborative effort for Sega. While Yoichi Shimosato is serving as producer, Sega is entrusting development to Flight Plan, a studio known for the Summon Night series. Character designs are being handled by both Pako (Shining Force EXA) and Noiji Ito (Haruhi Suzumiya series).
Shining Force Feather is currently 60% complete and will see Japanese release in Spring of 2009.

Got yourself a Japanese Wii? Then connect to the Everybody's Nintendo Channel and you'll find a sweet little present: a demo of Dragon Ball DS, or as its known outside of Japan, Dragon Ball: Origins.
The demo of the latest Dragon Ball game offers players a chance to get used to young Goku's controls. Fully stylus based, the control scheme lets you switch off between hand-to-hand and rod-based combat all the while jumping over chasms and pushing massive rocks and crates out of your way.
Nintendo will be removing the demo on the the 17th, after which (barring the release of a similar demo in the US), you'll have to fly to Japan and make the download at DS Station retail kiosks.

The key will be to skillfully use the "angelic" and "wicked" spirits to spray water, oil, slime and other liquids on enemies and surfaces to solve puzzles and wipe out evil. SPRay also features several amusing mini-games in multiplayer mode, where up to four players can challenge themselves in games such as "Paint It!" and "Sticky Chewing Gum."

The aim is simply to jump on the other bunnies to make them explode in a shower of blood and to increase your score. Fun for the whole family!
A note about the graphics
Jump 'n Bump runs at the silly resolution of 400x256, a ratio of 25:16. A scaleup option is present in the code to make it run at 800x512, a mode the Wii does not support. I'm not entirely sure what to do with this, so for now I've left it as is, with a huge black border around it. If you can't stand the cuteness anymore, you can look a bit at the black border, representing vileness and death.

Hmm i know ive just posted the video but i went to the main Wii Hackers the HackMii crew and straight away we see a different angle to the news story:
Apparently tehskeen took a month-old video, coupled it with a paragraph of reality and a paragraph of rampant speculation and nonsense, and made it into a news story. This is undoubtedly going to spread around as these things do, so I’m going to stop it dead in its tracks.
It’s not a pandora battery. It won’t help custom firmwares. It has nothing to do with upgrading or downgrading IOS. It has limitations. It only helps with certain very specific cases.
I’ll post details about it when the time comes, since it’s certainly useful to fix certain types of bricks, but for now don’t believe any random nonsense that you hear about it.
Hackmii also posted this
Some specifics on what kinds of bricks this might fix (we have not tested all of these yet):
- If you can autoboot ANY disc and your problem is not a bad system menu (that is, reinstalling the system menu won’t fix it) then this probably won’t help. If your problem can be fixed (which it probably can), you won’t need this at all.
- This SHOULD fix the worst banner bricks (where you screw up the main arc and get a freeze on the warning screen, not after it), but ONLY if you have 3.2 or earlier, or 3.3 and the Twilight Hack (beta1) already installed, and in both cases you’ll need a modchip.
- This SHOULD fix any semibricks-turned-bricks (Opera 404 error on boot) but you’ll have to wait until a retail game comes out with a newer version if you don’t have a modchip or if you have 3.3 or newer.
- In general, IF you can see anything on the screen, AND you have a system menu earlier than 3.3, AND your system menu main binary (dol) and IOS are (mostly) fine (system menu data corruption is okay), AND you have a modchip, AND your hardware is fine, THEN you can probably fix it with this.
We haven’t tested these specifically, so please don’t take them as final.
SO there you have it, always best to get the info from those who are in the know.

Sega has an all new Shining Force game in development for the DS. The latest issue of Famitsu has a first report on Shining Force Feather.
In Shining Force Feather, players take control of main character Jin, a treasure hunter and wanderer. The game takes place 3,000 years following the war between the Shining Force warriors and enemy forces known as the Kyomu. That war is remembered primarily as artifacts, which is where Jin comes into the picture.
On one of his treasure hunts, Jin discovers Alfeen who, while looking like a young lady, is actually a machine. A remnant from the war of 3,000 years ago, Alfeen is used to control an air ship. The only reason she survived to modern times is that she was a backup control unit and was never put to use. Believing Jin to be her master, she powers up an air ship that was used during the Shining Force times.
This is where the story begins, with Jin and Alfeen traveling the world. Joining them is Bail, a centaur and childhood friend of Jin.
Feather will feature a turn-based strategic battle system with an overhead perspective. Select an enemy for attack, and the game switches to a side perspective. Here, the battle system takes on somewhat of an action feel as you press buttons to select from various actions.
In addition to solo attacks, the battle system will allow players to team up their forces for combination attacks.
The title represents somewhat of multi-part collaborative effort for Sega. While Yoichi Shimosato is serving as producer, Sega is entrusting development to Flight Plan, a studio known for the Summon Night series. Character designs are being handled by both Pako (Shining Force EXA) and Noiji Ito (Haruhi Suzumiya series).
Shining Force Feather is currently 60% complete and will see Japanese release in Spring of 2009.

At last, someone managed the most needed, most anxiously-awaited PC retrofit job there is: putting a PC inside a Nintendo Wii box. Looking into its guts and its back, the Wii PC not very powerful, but it is fully functional and comes with everything you need in a Windows XP box.
The computer runs Windows XP SP3 on a Celeron 1.3GHz, Intel 852 chipset, 512MB of RAM, and 40GB hard drive, with wireless access, digital video output, three USB ports, and a fan that he stole out of a F-35 STOVL fighter yet. At least, it sounds like one.

Videogame publisher XS Games announced today a new arcade style air combat videogame, Rebel Raiders: Operation Nighthawk, for the Nintendo Wii. Developed by Kando Games, Rebel Raiders: Operation Nighthawk is set in a futuristic universe. The player assumes the role of a brave and grizzled pilot, leader of the elite resistance military unit "Ghost Squadron". At the player's command is a group of brave but inexperienced fighter pilots that only the player can lead into battle. The objective: to save mankind from corruption and turmoil at the hands of the Union of World Nations. At stake, is the fate of the world -- victory is the only option.
A single player game that uses both the Wii Remote and Nunchuk to control a player's aircraft, Rebel Raiders: Operation Nighthawk features ground shaking weapons, non-stop combat and thrilling special effects. The game's 34 unique missions can be navigated with 23 different fighter planes, allowing the player to fly at amazing speeds and create spectacular explosions. By commanding the Ghost Squadron, completing missions and defending the front line, the player earns points for a chance to fly top-secret planes with devastating weapons. Players have to demonstrate they have what it takes to become a true Rebel Raider.
Rebel Raiders: Operation Nighthawk has an ESRB rating of E10+ and will have a suggested retail price of $29.99. The game will be available at retail outlets nationwide on September 16th.

Number one sign that WiiWare is starting to take off: games seem to appear out of nowhere!
That's just what happened in Japan today as Cable Entertainment shared details on a launch event for an upcoming WiiWare game that we'd previously never heard of.
The title in question is Play With Kappa: Kappa and Forest Friends, a digital picture book featuring a young boy named Kappa who longs to be human. The title includes narration by talent Ryoko Tsunoda and simple quizzes to test if the kids have been listening.
While we're just now hearing about it, Kappa will hit the Japanese WiiWare service on the 9th at a somewhat odd price point of 600 WiiPoints. If we feel like playing with Kappa and his forest friends on that day, we'll let you know what we think. If not, enjoy these screenshots!

Flubba has released a new Neogeo Pocket Emulator for GBA:
New version of NGPAdvance, a lot of games should be a bit more playable thanks to speedhacks. I also added support for a lot of internal hardware (RTC/Alarm, Power button, DA/DA IRQ) so that you can use the real bios. Still no flash emulation as I can't really see how to implement it on the GBA... Also uploaded a tech doc for the NGPC.
*Added speedhacks for a lot of games.
*Added emulation of batteries & sub battery.
*Added RTC alarm.
*Added power button (SELECT).
*Added D button (R) (check Doko Demo Mahjong).
*Fixed a couple of cpu bugs affecting Metal Slug 1 and a couple of other games.

bonx we propose a new version of Xavprog.
The application always multi-console (Xbox360, Wii and PS3) is now in version 1.0.0.7.
Reminders:
Xavprog is a flasher via a chip Infectus nand put on your Wii. Much more powerful and stable than that proposed by the Team Infectus.
Note: To use the utility you need to install the driver created by bonx:
Quote:
The soft uses neither the driver nor the dll infectus, it uses a driver-based bookstore libusb32 It is therefore necessary to install in place of that of infectus.
Changes in this version:
-- Memory management improvements
-- Adding a timeout on waiting status of the loan nand
-- Case ongoing operation on wrong status
-- Trace the bad status

News via gxmod
This program by tona will download IOS37 from the Nintendo update servers, patch it, and install it as IOS249--making a completely functional "clone" of Waninkoko's cIOS. This process does not involve any system-critical parts of the system, and should be completely safe. Of course, however, this software comes with no warranty whatsoever.
Also, if this applications detects IOS249 installed, it will attempt uninstallation. So... You can run it once to install, run it again to uninstall. Pretty simple.
Why
Waninkoko's cIOS patches are useful, but a couple of barriers prevent many people from installing it. One, the normal installer requires someone "find," build, or dump a WAD of IOS37. Two, some people feel an aversion to Waninkoko's applications (on which I have no comment). Patchmii has been out for longer than cIOS, and it's perfect for the task. I finally found a use for cIOS and decided this might be useful in helping surmount the aforementioned barriers.
Differences
All of the patches are the same as in Waninkoko's cIOS. Although I haven't checked, I'd be willing to bet that the patched IOS modules have the same produced sha-1 hash as Waninkoko's installer generates. Except for Content 0 ;-)
Changelog
v2: Fixes one patch that was done incorrectly before (oops!)

Nintendo might be cranking out new DS Lite colors left and right, but IGN says something bigger's brewing in Kyoto -- a third iteration of the DS with dual touchscreen displays, one of them widescreen. Those are pretty significant changes, so we'd actually say that sounds more like a second-gen DS rather than another rev of the current hardware, but IGN says the rumored release date of April or May 2009 doesn't jive with a whole new unit. We'll see when we see -- hopefully we won't be waiting long.
PS.- That's just IGN's mockup, don't get too excited.

News from Scognito
Finally today I decided to write a post for my next upcoming homebrew game for the Nintendo Wii and Gamecube: it is called Piero’s Wicross.
As the name suggest it is based on a popular puzzle game Mario’s Picross, a game based on an existing puzzle game called Nonogram.
For those who don’t know what game I’m talking about, here it is a brief description of the original game, from wikipedia :
Nonograms or Paint by Numbers are picture logic puzzles in which cells in a grid have to be colored or left blank according to numbers given at the side of the grid to reveal a hidden picture. In this puzzle type, the numbers measure how many unbroken lines of filled-in squares there are in any given row or column. For example, a clue of “4 8 3″ would mean there are sets of four, eight, and three filled squares, in that order, with at least one blank square between successive groups.
I swear it is simpler than expected!
The development of the game is nearly done for both platforms, so what the game really needs are the levels.
Since I’m too lazy to create them, I decided that levels will made by YOU!
Yes, I wrote also an online level editor for the purpouse, where is possible to easily create puzzles throught a simple interface, so what expect to write your own one?
The best 50 levels will be put in the game as official ones, so head over and write yours!
Go to Wiicross Level Editor!

News/release from Neimod:
This package contains the necessary basic tools and project files needed to create a custom IOS module and interact with it. This is perfect for running test code on the Wii's IOS system.
Sourcecode is delivered for all tools and projects.
For compiling the ARM IOS code, devkitARM (arm-elf or arm-eabi) is needed. For compiling the PPC Wii code, devkitPPC and libOGC are needed.
Package contents:
stripios: This is a tool that will take a tradional ARM ELF file and converts it into a format the IOS system understands.
iosmodule: This is the project which will create a custom IOS module.
In order to create a working IOS module, you must supply the fixed absolute memory addresses for the module to live in, in the linker script. Currently, it defaults to the memory addresses set by the DIP module from IOS31.
To install a custom IOS module, you need to add it to the TMD of an existing IOS, and allocate it with an unused content id, or replace an existing one.
Currently, the produced IOS module is tested by replacing the DIP module from IOS 31. This is done by letting patchmii install IOS 31 as IOS 254, and replacing the contents of the DIP module with the custom IOS module.
The example main source file sets up a device called "/dev/haxx" and allows you to read/write to the IOS memory space (currently limited to the module's memory space because it is running from usermode), and allows you to upload and execute custom code.
iostester: This is the project which will interact with the custom IOS module.
In the first step, a completely position independent ARM program is compiled, and the file arm.bin is produced.
The ARM program is made position indepdenent by means of an global offset table (GOT), which the ARM program will automatically correct upon boot up.
Then the arm.bin file is automatically added into the PPC program, so that it can upload it to the custom IOS module, and let it execute it from the IOS side.
Happy hacking!

Risike has made a Lua script that tests the performance of Micro DS lua.
It will draw a lot of bounding an rotating balls with different sizes of both screens. After 1'20'' it will display the max number of balls it can display without fps fall.
I tested on no $ gba and I found 58 bullets. I have not yet tested on a real DS. In any case can be moved on display 58 images by all possible operations above (change of color, rotation and zoom), which seems quite reasonable given that one can display Maps almost as quickly as it displays an image.

I've really been enjoying the posts over at the Stephen M. Cabrinety Collection blog, even though it has one of the worst titles I've ever seen. Up recently was a look back at some of the licensed goods in the collection, including this box of the 'Nintendo Cereal System.' And yes, they tried some of the 20 year old cereal before gutting the box to save it for posterity. Eric Kaltman mentions some of the challenges that come along with attempting to preserve these bits of game culture

In the latest issue of Club Nintendo - a Spanish Nintendo magazine - Reggie Fils-Aime and Shigeru Miyamoto shed light on some interesting questions. First, and perhaps most importantly, Fils-Aime reaffirmed Nintendo’s commitment to investigating a storage solution. However, Fils-Aime confirmed that it isn’t necessarily a hard drive. Reggie’s words are roughly translated to the following: “We are working on a storage solution and it is especially important in America because our consumers are using Wii Points for the Virtual Console and WiiWare. I want the people to have the right expectations; We have never said that it will be a hard drive nor have we mentioned how we will fix this issue, but we are going to deliver a better way to store the games.” Miyamoto added that gamers should expect an announcement in the future, as Nintendo is researching different technologies to provide Wii owners with some sort of relief.
Between the two, a few more tidbits were shared. As has been previously reported, a new Zelda is indeed in development for the Wii. Although, Miyamoto noted that the new title has not been shown (will not be shown, rather) until the team is confident in the level of development they are in. So basically, when the game is ready to be unveiled to the public, Nintendo will do so.
Other news includes: Miyamoto said that there are enough peripherals for the Wii so we shouldn’t expect too many more. Fils-Aime commented yet again on hardcore gamers feeling left out of this year’s E3 press conference and explained that there’s GTA for the DS and that Animal Crossing is a hardcore game.
Last but not least: No Wii demos on the Nintendo Channel, no DS redesign until sales slowdown, and Reggie Fils-Aime is flattered more than anything in regards to Microsoft’s recent announcements over Xbox Live avatars. New Pikmin confirmed once again. Miyamoto wouldn’t say whether or not we’ll see another Zelda game on the DS.

Over at Codemii they have updated the Homebrew Browser for the Nintendo Wii, Heres the release details:
Now downloads images in real time, no more having to wait for HBB to load all the images
Fixed IR cursor, no more IR cursor correction is required (thanks Wil)
Deleting applications now deletes all files from the directories created (emulator roms/saves directories aren’t deleted)
Dpad left and right now controls the categories
Updated HBB about image to include information about wii message notifications for HBB
This update should make loading the Homebrew Browser a better experience as you’ll no longer have to wait for it to download all the images when first run. The IR cursor being fixed should also make things a bit better as well.
The fix for the IR cursor was quite simple. I was using ir.sx and sy before as I thought that it would have been better as these co-ordinates are smoothed but it turns out that using ir.x and y work just as well and I believe have fixed the IR cursor correction problem.

A new release from Mega Man
Purpose
Launch Gamecube homebrew on Wii. Read before using! Program can be dangerous, because the flash is changed.
Background Information
DOL loader is patched into MIOS. If Wii switches to Gamecube mode, the DOL loader is always started. That means that a Gamecube disc can't be started. This behaviour can be disabled by reinstalling a normal MIOS. I don't have a Gamecube disc, so I don't have tested it.
Installation Steps
1. Copy RVL-mios-v5.wad.out.wad into root of front SD card (This file is not part of the archive and is located on Super Mario Galaxy Disc (EU)). If you use a different version, this is on your own risk. The MIOS patching wad installer will only allow to install MIOS. This can only break the GC mode. If the patch fails, it could patch Starlet code. Starlet code has the ability to brick your Wii.
2. Patch MIOS using MIOSPatchingWADInstaller. CAUTION: You can't play any Gamecube Disc anymore!!!
3. Copy your Gamecube Homebrew DOL into SD root as start.dol. Use Wii Gamecube Slot A for SD Gecko.
4. Launch GCBooterHomebrew. This should start the the DOL on the SD card. If screen looks strange, you need to try it again. It is sometimes not working.

News from dev fr
Early release for me milestone for mankind (well, maybe. The future will tell). I try to make SEDS more "general public". Exit messages debugging abstruse (well, I always invoke them through meditations of my guru, but you do see more) and the coup, "console" is free to give the user tips "tutorials" on the use of software by pressing L and R simultaneously (yes, Cyril, it also works if you appuies on R and L, now.
Incidentally, this is also the first release with the editor palette.
Obviously, it n'empèche not take a look at the mini-manual of the previous version ...
Oh, and for those who had already downloaded the 0.3.2, you can go to 0.3.3 simply by pressing SELECT in the menu files "(hence SELECT START then the start of the programme).
Pixelez well _ ^ ^

smal news update http://code.google.com/p/mupen64plus/
September 5th, 2008: There has been lots of activity on this project lately. The KDE4 gui was modified to be a Qt 4 GUI, so it will work under many non-cutting-edge systems. There have been many QT and GTK GUI improvements. There have also been many changes to make Mupen64Plus more platform-independent, and as a result it is now running (with a few problems) under Win32 and OSX.

Aerthel has released a new version of his Project Sheratan ~ A Baten Kaitos Battle Engine for DS RPG games app:
This Project (though is not the same as before, i'm keeping the name) aims to create a Card Battle engine for RPG games on Nintendo DS, mimicking the Baten Kaitos series's card system. If you haven't played such games (shame on you! ), there are some pretty good YouTube videos like this one to show how the system works. Basically, you have cards that control your characters movements and actions, and played in certain order will resultin flashing and devastating attack combos.
Instructions:
* L/R changes the music
* Touch a card to display its name
* Touch a card while holding Down (or B for left-handed players) to discard it
* Touch a pair of cards while holding Up (or X for left-handed players) to swap them
* Touch a character miniPotrait to set him/her as the "selected character"
Project Sheratan is once again one step closer to completion. New release version 0.009 has these new features:
*Created classes for management of characters. (Sprites from http://www.spriters-resource.com)
*CardTray class created for checking player's card selections and transforming them into character actions.
*Also a lot of less important changes (changed bottom-screen background and the helpBar texture, erased some debug info and a LOT of code cleaning)
To use the card tray, you first need to select which character will play next. Touch the mini portrait to select him/her. Later, you will be able to play cards by selecting them, those will go to the tray and the selected character will perform the actions according the cards you played.

Hello everyone,
This is my first DS Application, DSettings !
It is a GUI that shows the DS's Settings.
I know, it's not that great, but it's my first app!
(NOTE: Don't test in an emulator, or it won't show settings, and without them, it's horrible, test only on a flashcard )

If you've got a case of Club Nintendo envy, you might want to close your eyes for this one. Nintendo Japan updated the rewards program item list today with six items, at least three of which have the potential to make fans outside of Japan weep sour tears of jealousy.
The six items include:
Game & Watch Collection 2: This DS cart (complete with a case!) includes two Game & Watch classics, Parachute and Octopus. Also included is Parachute X Octopus, an original game combining the two. 500 points.
Touch Generations Soundtrack: Following a series of Mario-themed soundtracks, the Touch Generation series gets the speaker all to itself. When Nintendo says Touch Generations, it means a wide variety of titles, including Wii Fit, Wii Play, the Wii Shopping Channel, Nintendogs, and even Smash Bros. Brawl. A total of 25 tracks are included in this 64 minute CD. 400 points.
Mario Party playing cards: A 54 card set featuring artwork for Mario Party 8. The cards can be used as a picture puzzle game (instructions included -- probably in Japanese, though). 300 points
Mario & Luigi mini pouch: Two mini pouches are included in this set. Each is capable of holding small items like change and DS cartridges. 250 points.
Nintendo DS Lite pouches: These nylon/polyester pouches come in red, yellow, green, and orange. There's space for your DS Lite, with a pocket for two games. 250 points.
Original Mario badges: Nintendo has created four badges, each original Club Nintendo designs. 250 points.
Club Nintendo members in Japan have access to these items now. Everyone else will have access to them once members take delivery of the items and start posting them to Ebay.

New from Desert dog (thanks to dsscene for the news tip)
I made this for a friend. It's a Sexy Blackjack Trainer variant based on the anime The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Same game but with appropriate graphics and music - play blackjack, win points and unlock pictures.
Recommended if you like both blackjack and Haruhi Suzumiya; or you're a Multiple:Option collector That said, I'm not counting this as an official M:O release - it's a side project and what you see is what you get. Use No$GBA if you're emulating.

While checking to see if DsDsRevolution had been updated i found another Japanese blog with a homebrew i haven't seen before, Lost Cities DS by tambourine_dc. Lost Cities is a card battler game in which you can use a Mii avatar, you can create those here. It's based off a card game of the same name by Rainer Knizia. The release is from back in February, but seeing as no homebrew sites have posted it apart from a few Japanese blogs (or so google search tells me), i thought i would up it here in the hope that it might gain a bit more notice from the scene.

This is an ASCII Art Maker for Nintendo DS that I made for fun. Some people on my regular IRC channel liked it, so I thought I'd release it here, to hear what other people have to say. Written with devkitARM and PAlib. You can draw with whatever character you want, both upper and lower case.
Quick start:
Select button: Bring up the keyboard to select a character.
L/R button: Choose the drawing color.
A+B at the same time: Clear the screen.
Touch-screen: Draw.
Select the Space character to delete tiles.
Each tile takes up 8x8 pixels, and the total tile-grid is 32x24 tiles. Saving is not yet implemented, but probably will be in a later version.
I'd love to hear your feedback and/or comments on my little program =)
I can't attach the file, i think it's bugged. Says it exceeds quota. Therefore: Link.

Nintendo has announced a "Nintendo WiFi Network Adapter" for the Nintendo Wii... which already has WiFi. While some users have difficulty getting their Wii consoles online, this should hopefully streamline that. The adaptor will go on sale September 18th in Japan for ¥5,800 (US$53) on Nintendo's homepage. This wireless LAN router can be used with the Nintendo Wii and DS as well as PCs and other devices.
The Nintendo WiFi Network Adaptor has a switch for three modes on the back: "Router", "Bridge" and "Auto". "Router" is self-explanatory, while "Bridge" connects to another router and then communicates with the Nintendo DS and Wii. "Auto" apparently can automatically switch the household's network over automatically.
Oh, and those hoping for an HDD for the Wii, tough c**p.

Animal Crossing: City Folk on Wii will cost $69.99 (around £40) in US when it is released bundled with the new WiiSpeak voice chat peripheral.
The price comes from US retailer Gamestop's recent managers' conference in Las Vegas (via Destructoid)
City Folk will utilise WiiSpeak to allow players to speak to each other online as they wander around each others' towns, although don't expect to be able to talk to anyone other than people on your friends list. Nintendo protects the kids, you see.
The game's set to hit Japan this year, but US and UK dates have gone unannounced.

School's back in session, but it's not the only place to get your brain buzzing. This week's additions to the Wii Shop Channel include a challenging new puzzle game available via WiiWare, plus a pair of crackling Virtual Console actioners to keep your imagination raging between classes. Even if your school days are behind you, this latest lineup of downloadable titles will help get you fired up for fall, fueled by the one-of-a-kind fun of Nintendo's top-selling Wii system.
Nintendo adds new and classic games to the Wii Shop Channel at 9 a.m. Pacific time every Monday. Wii owners with a high-speed Internet connection can redeem Wii Points to download the games. Wii Points can be purchased in the Wii Shop Channel or at retail outlets. This week's new games are:
WiiWare
Groovin' Blocks (Empty Clip Studios, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone, 800 Wii Points): A music-based game like no other, Groovin' Blocks adds innovative musical game play to an addictive action/puzzle game foundation. Play to the rhythm of the music to increase your score, and try to hit "Superbeats" to double your multiplier. Go for the high score in each of the 27 stages as you collect stars to unlock 15 levels of power-ups. Groovin' Blocks features three skill levels, from the accessible Casual to the fiendish Hard mode. Play with your friends in co-op mode or against them head-to-head. Head-to-head brings it up a notch as the power-ups now become attacks on your opponent. Play head-to-head with people of all skill levels using a golf-style handicapping system.
Virtual Console
Final Solider (TurboGrafx16, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone -- Mild Fantasy Violence, 700 Wii Points): A vertically scrolling shooter from the well-known Soldier series. In the 23rd century, invaders from the future suddenly attack Earth. Controlling a fighter created by the world's scientists, you rise to meet the enemy. Collect power-up units, such as LASER, E-BEAM, FIRE and MISSILE, and then equip them in Options to launch a variety of attacks. For each of these weapons, you can freely select from three different types in SET-UP. Anticipate enemies' strikes and deftly switch between weapons to defeat the invaders. In addition to NORMAL GAME, there are also 2 MINUTE GAME and 5 MINUTE GAME score-attack modes. The most perfect blend and balance of any game in the series, Final Soldier is a title you don't want to miss.
Cho Aniki (TurboGrafx16 CD-ROM, 1 player, Rated E10+ for Everyone and Older -- Mild Fantasy Violence, Mild Suggestive Themes, 900 Wii Points): The odd world in this shooter made for quite the conversation piece in its day. Players control either Idaten or Benten, celestial warriors out to bring an end to the tyrannical rule of the emperor of Planet Builder, who holds muscular prowess to be the supreme virtue of the universe. Aided by able-bodied muscle-head options Adon and Samson, they must battle to defeat the emperor's army across five stages. Use the buttons to fire away and lay into the Builder forces. Power up your character and options with protein from defeated enemies to have them "bulk up" with a yell, and take their macho battle to the next level.

I have an announcement to make regarding future bounties. I have been discussing with other major scene website owners and we have decided to make some important improvements to the Homebrew Bounty!
The Homebrew Bounty will now take place once every 3 months (making it a quarterly event), giving homebrew developers a lot more time to come up with better games!
The prizes will be distributed in a completely different fashion, allowing for more authors to be rewarded.
The Homebrew Bounty will have its own site, separated from GBAtemp. A new Paypal account for collecting donations will also be set up (english account this time! *wink*).
The event will be given a new name! It will be revealed in the coming weeks when the bounty starts.
We hope you enjoyed following this competition as much as I did!
Stay tuned for the next bounty!

News/release from Minty
Hey everyone,
This is an application I created for myself and other fencers in the homebrew community for convenience and usefulness. (if there are any >.>)
This is a program which is useful for fencers, referees, directors, and coaches.
FencingApp basically is an all in one timer-scorekeeper-cardcounter-coinflipper(for overtime priority).
Explanation:
First choose your mode,
Pools-5 points, one period.
DEs-15 points, three periods.
free-unlimited points and periods.
Press A to start the timer (it will beep so u know).
Press it again to pause it.
Record Fencers' scores with L and R (when the timer is paused)
If a fencer gets a card (for ex. Yellow) Then click on the yellow card in the touchscreen.
Pressing Select Resets the time (You must do this when a period is finished).
A triple beep will sound when a period is over.
The number above the timer is the period you are in.
When the bout is over a results screen will pop up
and you may have each fencer sign
This Reason Behind it: Too many times I have directed a bout and had to use a
clipboard, timer, pencil, etc... All at the same time and usually something gets mixed up, usually the score & the number of cards.

Tarosa also released a 3d Viewer last month. It looks great but the only problem here is the bin files needed to run what you see in the video are not included. He offsite linked to those on an asian site where the upload expires after about a week. Maybe we should all email the guy asking for a new upload link.

Sorry for the name but i actually don't know what this one translates to. I only know the name of the song in it. Looks like its based off the Miku Touch Demo Vol 2, where you have to tap the screen in a timely manner to play the music. The archive was 25MB so im uploading it to rapidshare. Inside is a file named hakutunbin.7z which i think is the 3D model, it extracts to around 180MB so make sure you have room on your sd card before using this one. The dev of all these games, who i haven't even mentioned up until now goes by the name Tarosa.

Here's my Gamecube mod. Inside is a Pico-ITX, 100Gig SATA hard drive, and Bluetooth recievers. I had also put a slimline slot loading drive in there but there was so little space inside that the motherboard overheated, causing the system to shut down after about 40mins.
You can also see an Apple Wireless keyboard and Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse. The display is a 19" BenQ FP93V.

This could only happen in the UK, personally i would love to beat Huntley to death with my bare hands and believe me if i was ever to meet him i would, heres the full article from the People online;
Prison guards have been told to play Wii computer games with Soham monster Ian Huntley in a bid to stop him killing himself.
They have also been instructed to call the murderer by his first name - and treat him like family.
Bosses issued the order because Huntley has tried suicide three times since getting life in 2003 for killing ten-year-old schoolpals Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman.
And they fear he will try again unless they keep him sweet.
So taxpayers have picked up the bill to put a £179 Nintendo Wii console in Huntley's cell at Frankland Prison in Co Durham.
And warders will join him in games which require players to replicate real-life actions in sports like tennis, golf and fishing.
A jail source said: "Huntley has been asking for a Wii for months.
"When he moved to Frankland in February he was given a Nintendo Game Cube - but after only a few weeks he began complaing it was out of date.
"Management are desperate to stop him going though with threats he's made to kill himself and by giving him a Wii they believe they can take his mind away from harming himself in any way."
Earlier this year, an internal jail memo instructed staff to "develop a positive dialogue" with the 34-year-old fiend.
Officers were also told to treat him as "an extension of their family" and call him Ian or Mr Huntley.
But the source said: "Many of them don't want to get involved with him because of his crimes.
"But they know it's more than their jobs are worth if they don't comply."
Huntley - Prisoner JG5778 - enjoys his cushy life in a private room within the health-care wing of the maximum-security jail.
He can wear his own choice of designer clothes and has three meals a day brought to his cell.
As well as the Wii, the room is fitted with a telly and CD player.
And the walls are decorated with pictures of his ex-lover Maxine Carr.
The source said: "He has almost everything done for him and is waited on hand and foot by the officers assigned to his care.
"He lives in luxury - yet the parents of Holly and Jessica are living a nightmare."

Truly a great story:
PROUD dad Keith Walker had a dream.
He wanted to walk daughter Frances down the aisle for her wedding to Joseph Thornton.
But Mr Walker suffered a severe stroke in March last year, which left him only able to move his fingertips.
But three months later, after care and physiotherapy at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary, he was able to walk Frances up the aisle.
And as a thank-you for all the help he received from the team in Ward 21 he has become a major supporter and fundraiser.
His most recent efforts have bought a state of the art Nintendo Wii games console and a 50in screen for the day-room to play it on.
Patients in Ward 21 now have the very latest games console technology to help them in their rehabilitation thanks to the grateful former patient.
Physio staff use the Wii system to develop co-ordination.
Keith, 61, from Upper Cumberworth, said: “I have so much to thank the team in Ward 21.
“They were so kind and determined, but tough when they needed to be.
“They made sure I achieved my dream of walking my daughter up the aisle. It was something I feared I would never achieve.
“This is a splendid form of rehabilitation and I hope it helps the patients on this wonderful ward.”
Frances – now Mrs Frances Thornton – said: “After my dad’s stroke on March 11, a mere three months before my wedding, we thought we might have to postpone the big day as we thought he may be unable to attend, let alone walk me down the aisle.
“However, thanks to the hard work and dedication of the staff at the HRI Stroke Unit, especially Terry Smith, his physiotherapist, the wedding went ahead on June 9 as planned.
“My dad walked me down the aisle and even conducted a grand firework display which he had planned from his hospital bed! It was a wonderful day.
“And since then he has become the proud grandfather of Isaac, who was born on February 14 this year.”
The cash was raised from an Easter egg raffle this year which made £800.
Since he left hospital Keith has raised thousands of pounds for the ward for extra equipment for patients.
Games consoles are now increasingly used by physiotherapists across the country as an extra and entertaining form of rehabilitation.
A patient is assessed for suitability before use and supervised by a physiotherapist or occupational therapist who matches them to the appropriate game.
Bowling, for example, is very popular for patients who have lost some use in their arm after a stroke as it helps to re-use the affected arm and is enjoyable at the same time.
The ward is also planning to buy more games such as chess to provide mental stimulation for patients to further boost their recovery.
Sister Heather Cording said: “The game console is not just useful from a physiotherapy point of view it can also be used by occupational therapists to help stimulate the mind.
“It can be played by an individual but also by groups which adds to the fun and to the therapy value. We are very grateful to Keith and his wonderful support for the team here.”

Hermes over at elotrolado has released a new version of the PCEngine emulator for the Nintendo Wii:
09-09-2008 Wiiengine 1.2
-- Added an option to exit from the shipper screen selection of ROMs (Click less and confirms)
-- Now you can use the button least as SELECT (remember that you can use the button for the same MAS)
-- Added an option to exchange and SELECT buttons RUN (Configuration menu)
-- The Nunchuck is now supported: Use the stick, A -> I, B -> II & PLUS MINUS -> SELECT, 1 -> RUN (remember you can exchange RUN & SELECT from CONFIGURATION)
-- Some games like Street Fighter 2 or Strip Fighter now operate without corruption graph.
-- Fixed some problems with sound
Hello
Here I am presenting an emulator of PCEngine ported from the version I made for GP2X, gp2xengine, with a few things improved:
-- Supports roms in format. Pce or compressed. Bz2 (the program can compress this format, pressing a button). Zip
-- Supports ISOs and a special file,. Toc which contains a description of all tracks of audio data. In other words: my emulator supports audio as well (which may be in formats. WAV or. OGG) or discs with multiple tracks of data.
-- I have prepared a utility to you cree file. Toc and tracks data format. Iso formato.ogg and audio from a CD-ROM image as a CUE / BIN
-- It supports up to four Wiimote and you can configure the buttons to add or autofire exchange, for example
-- You can save the state complete a game and retrieve it later to continue playing. The saves are compressed to minimize space
-- It can capture a frame format. Bmp and then view it from the same Wii or export it to the PC to portray a good death, a score achieved or any curiosity. When entering a rom the meter is set to 0 and go to number catches in succession.
On the stand CDROM, for example, dracula X is reduced its size from 506MB of. Bin by just 63 MB iso / ogg.
We recommend that you read the readme.txt, especially how to create files. Toc (though the utility will create all the bincuesplit automatically, if you have the game on CD-ROM image format BIN / CUE.
I hope you like

via Eurogamer
SEGA has told Eurogamer that Samba de Amigo will release a week later than expected on 26th September.
This Wii update of the Dreamcast original made for a musical smile after our hands-on session earlier in the year. There may be no maraca peripherals, but the colourful rhythm-action game packed exactly the sort of friends-will-laugh punch we expected. And we do expect punch.
Excitingly, Samba de Amigo will also offer downloadable songs to shake along to post-launch. "Are You Going to Be My Girl" by Jet has been confirmed to appear, as has stuff by Lou Bega and Bow Wow Wow, the US rapper who shot to pre-pubescent fame a few years back.
The full list of both new and returning Samba de Amigo songs can be found elsewhere on Eurogamer.
Expect our thoughts on the game in timely fashion.

News/release from alexlh
OK, FINALLY it is ready to release... I have been working with SquidMan to get the wiiload working (of course he helped with some other things). First off, let me finally let you download it... (note: If people are interested in the source... then email me for it, and I'll be glad to give it... email me at wiibrewforums@gmail.com )
libupdate
Now... instructions...
First... here is how to use it...
load_network();
s32 main_server = connect_to_server("000.000.000.000");
FILE *f = fopen(get_location("boot.elf", "/location/of-app"), "wb+");
send_message(main_server, "/location-of-update/boot.elf", "www.url.of.server");
instructions_update();
get_file(main_server, f);
fclose(f);
net_close(main_server);
You must do all of that to get it working... and everything alse is in the lib...
000.000.000.000 is the IP Address of the server. example: "74.86.133.219"
/location/of-app is where you want it to update/install if using wiiload. If it is not using wiiload... it will update in the app's current directory.
/location-of-update/boot.elf is where on the server the update file is... YOU MUST PUT THE PROPER URL! example: /WiiMU/boot.elf
www.url.of.server is the URL of the server. YOU MUST PUT THE WWW AS A PREFIX!
For now... you must use it in console, because it uses a lot of printf's... I'll release a version that won't output anything... so it is compatible with everything...
also, you can update any file you want, including meta.xml, etc!

News/release from Jayenkai
OK folks, here's a level editor edition!
Or, rather..
Here's a version I've been building up, but haven't yet built any more levels for, yet!
vvvvvvvvvvvvvv--Download--vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
Slightly Better - Level Editor Edition (only 016-JNKPlat08.nds is included!)
^^^^^^^^^^^--Download--^^^^^^^^^^^^
Updates
1. Ice on floors. Platdude skids across, rather than stops, wherever there's ice.
2. Faster darts. There's 2 dart blocks in the editor. The left hand ones will shoot every 180 frames, right will shoot every 90..!
3. Faster Plungers. There's 2 plungers.. Red = slow, Green = faster.
4. Blocks on Plungers. If you drop a block on a plunger, it'll remove the plunger, but also make the switch, making for permanent switches.
5. Conveyor Belts. They make you move!!!
6. Blocks on Belts. Blocks shift along on belts. Note.. Moving blocks aren't considered solid objects.. So you can usually run through blocks on belts! Bizarre.. But f'k it! They will smush you if you're between a wall and one, though!
7. Blinky Blinky Blobs!..! Stick down a blinky blinky blob, and it occasionally blinks between being a floor and not being a floor!
Timing's very very hard.
BUT.
Draw a line of blinky blinky blobs, and you'll notice a pattern. Draw a full line of them, and a stream of floor will appear to move side to side.. Draw about 5 or 6 in a row, and you get a nice, challenging, occasional bridge to cross at the right time..
Blinky Blinky Blob Bridges move at the same pace Platdude runs.
Oh, and Flamethrowers.
...
So, make levels, submit them, and just like nyarla ("Magnetic Robot Shavings") you can have a batch of levels right there in the compiled edition of the game! Wootsocks! Jay makes a note that he should insert author names into packs!
Just include a nice enough pack, and a decent title for it... And/or a couple of random levels for the random pack.
Sorted!
You've got 1 week to do it.
I'll release the next proper edition next week..

According to reports from the recent GameStop managers conference in Las Vegas, Nintendo is planning on shipping a version of Animal Crossing: City Folk with the WiiSpeak microphone packed in. Can't say it comes as a surprise, but the marketing materials we'd seen to this point had all touted the accessory as being sold separately, so we welcome news of the pack-in.
According to tipsters, the bundle will set you back $69.99, making the WiiSpeak mic a $20 value, presumably. Pricing in bells was not provided. We're double checking with Nintendo to ensure maximum accuracy.

We didn't wake up today hoping to hate on Nintendo, but they're making it a bit too easy. Granted, the Nintendo WiFi router could certainly find a place in the homes of the tech illiterate, but Nintendo keeps hiding behind the apron strings of its casual gamer fanbase, and we don't have to sit around and take it. Two months after Nintendo finally admitted it had a problem with Wii storage and claimed to be "working on a solution," Reggie's still playing that line -- to diminishing effects -- in Club Nintendo, the official Nintendo mag of Latin America. He went on to say that "we have never said that it will be a hard drive nor have we mentioned how we will fix this issue, but we are going to deliver a better way to store the games." Weak. Nintendo could easily create a backup solution for SD cards or the ubiquitous thumbstick, but instead the company is letting its most active users suffer with the mere 512MB of built-in storage, requiring them to re-download games from the Wii Shop, and making few promises about when or what the storage solution will be -- not cool, Nintendo. Phew, good to get that off our chests. Now, if you'll excuse us, we have some "High School Musical: Sing It!" to attend to.

At E3 a Square Enix representative told us Chrono Trigger would include a single screen classic mode for purists and here it is. This is a screenshot from the DS arrange version or Chrono Trigger classic with the addition of enemy HP meters on the bottom screen. I guess Lucca’s default accessory, the Sightscope, is completely useless if you’re playing Chrono Trigger in arrange mode.
If you want to play Chrono Trigger with touch screen controls the battle menus appear on the bottom screen with huge buttons. The benefit of touch screen layout is less clutter and no more enemies hiding under the ATB meter.

Just thought I'd let you guys know I've found some killer discounts for wii games.
The UK supermarket 'Morrision's are currently offering all Wii chart games for just £15.
...that in its own is a bargain but if you go to PCWorld they'll price match it plus give 10% off (or something like that) making games just £12.50!
The other cool thing is PCWorld didn't check what games I bought were from the morrisons chart so I was able to purchase any wii game I wanted in-store for the bargain price of £12.50!
I picked up Lego Indiana Jones, House of the Dead 2&3, Metroid Prime and Capcom's Super Swing Golf for 12.50 each! ...I guess you could probably take these to Gamestation and get a trade-in price for more than £12.50 for some of these games! lol
Thought I'd share the info with ya! ...ohh and apparently at Morrisons PS3 games are £25...not sure about PC or 360 though (I was on a lunch break in work and didnt get time to look).
These discounts are not available online so you have to go to Morrisons supermarket or get your asses down to PC World!

Square Enix plans to release Wii role-playing adventure Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon across Europe on 31st October.
Here we have Chocobos, the bird creatures from the Final Fantasy universe, dressing up in wizard and knight outfits and collecting the lost memories of a town from various dungeons.
The result was a Metacritic average of 77 per cent from summer US reviews. Conclusions pointed to rather old-fashioned design based around challenge rather than plot, although the childish presentation was lauded for the usual Square Enix polish.

Sega is bringing the Phantasy Star series to the DS. The new game is titled PS0. No, this is not a new version of Phantasy Star Online. The "0" is actually "Zero" (which you may or may not have figured out depending on your browser's character set).
While the magazine describes PS0 as a completely new title, it does inherit a bit from its predecessors. On top of a story mode, which is not detailed in the magazine, players have access to a four-player multiplayer mode which offers both local and Wi-Fi Connection-based play.
One of the coolest new features for the multiplayer mode is visual chat. Players have access to a scratch pad on the bottom screen, which they can fill with doodles and send to fellow players. The drawings appear in bubbles above the characters, giving the game a comic look (assuming you're good-enough at drawing, that is).
Players can also communicate using pre-set symbols.
Outside of the chatting, the bottom screen is used to display your stats, a map, and your action palette (this is the name that Phantasy Star gives to the player's move menu). It appears that you can select moves from the palette using either the stylus or the R button.
PS0 features all the Phantasy Star character types of old, along with a few new ones. The characters are drawn a bit younger here, as if they've gone back to their teenage years, but PSO fans will have no problem recognizing them.
For this first DS installment, Sega has brought in some new additions to the development staff. Toshiyuki Kubooka, from the Idol Master and Lunar series, is overseeing character creation. Tooru Shiwasu, who previously headed up the online quests in Phantasy Star Online but went on to become an author, is working on PS0's scenarios with another author, Teru Arai.
PS0 is set for Japanese release this Winter.

Marat Fayzullin released a new version of his Gameboy Advance emulator VGBA. There are versions for many different operating systems, the windows version is shareware.
This version improves audio quality in games that frequently switch sampling frequency (Star Wars, etc.). Also, for VGBA-Symbian and VGBA-Maemo, I have fixed LSR/ASR #0 instructions and correctly implemented memory access behavior from misaligned addresses (Pokemon no longer glitches). Finally, VGBA-Maemo now runs at x3 magnification in the full screen mode making for a much nicer experience

- Implement lighting model in software instead of using opengl; improves (potential?) compatibility [zeromus]
- Defer rendering until after flush. This was a necessary architectural change, as it permits savestate
for the display list, and allows us eventually to separate the GE emulation from the rendering [zeromus]
- Fix the 2d/3d compositing well enough for NSMB to fix bugs, but it is still bad [zeromus]
- Reorganize 3d code to defer rendering to vblank. eliminates tearing, and maybe some texturing artifacts.
also possibly helps performance a bit by letting the hardware pipeline work some more before blocking for
framebuffer read. [zeromus]
- Tweak optimization flags and change entire source code to use fastcall [zeromus]
- Add opengl state caching. This is of dubious performance assistance, but it is easy to take out so I am leaving it for now. [zeromus]
- Add MMU->GPU signal for when vram mappings change, which allows it to assume textures are unchanged unless vram has changed [zeromus]
May can yet something, I do not remember

Nice article from Popular Mechanics
As we expected, Apple's "Let's Rock" event yesterday offered some new iPods and a new version of iTunes—even if the unveiling didn't quite meet our expectations. But Steve Jobs and Co. had something else to deliver as well: a clear message that his company now has its sights set directly on the portable gaming market, with very real and very high aspirations for App Store games for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Jobs even showed off a new ad touting the new iPod Touch as the "funnest" iPod ever.
Apple's mobile gaming goals go far beyond fancy new versions of Bejeweled and Tetris—Jobs yesterday called for "a whole new class of games." It's now clear that the company is gunning for the big boys: Nintendo and Sony, whose DS and PSP platforms, respectively, have dominated the portable video-game market for years. Here's why the old giants should be scared of the new kid on the block—and why they shouldn't.
3 Reasons Nintendo and Sony Are Running Scared:
1. Buying iPhone/iPod Games Is Quick and Simple
Because games can be purchased directly on your iPhone or iPod Touch via Wi-Fi or the phone's 3G network, it's easy to overdo it. Psychologically, pressing "Install" just isn't the same as plopping down a few bills at your local GameStop, so a spend-happy gamer may be likely to buy three or four games in a binge. And because iPhone and iPod users can buy games anytime, anywhere, they never have to worry about stock shortages—or ever getting up from their couch.
2. iPod Games Are Cheap, and Increasingly High-Profile
Very, very few iPhone/iPod games cost more than $10. Meanwhile, very few Nintendo DS or PSP games cost less than $25. And while the DS and PSP games are usually big-budget affairs that dwarf a simple iPhone Sudoku application, this gap is rapidly closing as high-profile developers increasingly port big games such as Spore and Need For Speed to the iPhone and iPod.
3. iPod Games Can Be Expanded and Updated
It's almost inevitable that a big game will have a few bugs or glitches that aren't discovered until after launch. There's usually little Nintendo DS and PSP players can do other than grin and deal with the glitchy gameplay. But iPod games can be tuned to check for updates and heal themselves whenever bugs are found. The iPhone 3G makes it especially easy for developers to deliver expansion packs, adding levels and characters to successful games.
3 Reasons the Gaming Companies Can Sleep Easy ... for Now:
1. iPods Are Touchscreen-Only
In some ways, the absence of a keypad is a boon to innovation when it comes to mobile gaming—it encourages developers to think up creative workarounds using simple tilts and touch gestures. But it's not perfect. This is true for both big, complex games (there's a reason the touchscreen DS also has a full keypad), and with the retro/classic gaming that mobile platforms traditionally excel at (we'll never get used to tilting our phone to manipulate Tetris blocks, and Space Invaders just isn't the same if you can't properly mash your fingers against buttons). Finally, buttons are still far more precise than Apple's accelerometer.
2. Parents Won't Buy iPhones For Their Kids
The Nintendo DS costs just $129. The PSP? $169. These relatively low prices make them very attractive to parents out shopping for an electronic babysitter. Not only do the iPhone and iPod Touch cost considerably more, but they simply aren't toys that can be thrown into the hands of young children. They have large, fragile glass touchscreens, no restrictions on Internet browsing and come linked to online stores. To the extent that gaming is for children, Apple hasn't figured out how to corner the market yet.
3. Games for Dedicated Systems are Much Bigger.
It's hard to ignore that even the high-profile iPhone/iPod games are pretty stripped down, usually playing like drawn-out mini-games that rely on one or two touchscreen-, or accelerometer-driven gimmicks. No matter how pretty a game is, if the gameplay just involves tilting the screen left and right, you won't play it for long. Dedicated gaming systems typically feature more complex games with stylistically different levels and elements. On the other hand, too many big applications will just slow the iPod Touch and iPhone down. Lets put it this way: The Grand Theft Auto series soared on the PSP, but will likely never come to the iPhone (and we're not so sure we'd want to play it if it did).
What are your thoughts, personally the biggest threat to DS and PSP in homebrew terms is Pandora but commercialy if they bring the Iphone/ipod touch down to a much lower price then only then will it threaten PSP or DS, your thoughts via comments

Steve Corey has released a new version of his Port of Doom to the Nintendo Wii, heres both his newsposts from tonight:
I've finalized all changes to WiiDoom, and can't hold it back any longer. We've gotten a LOT of stuff smoothed out, including sound, brightness, and oh yeah... IR TURNING. This is quite an update, so download it now! Here's the full changelog:
-- Version 0.2 --
[NEW] Remapped Wii controls to joystick handling code
[FIXED] Control stick no longer stalls
[NEW] Joystick code extended to handle nearly all currently supported device inputs
[NEW] IR controls partly implemented
[FIXED] Menu navigation made consistent with Wii titles
[FIXED] Audio now plays at correct pitch
[FIXED] Brightness/Gamma set to low value
[NEW] Framerate uncapped
[NEW] Weapon switching via Left/Right on D-pad
[CHANGED] IR is now linear
Also this news:
I've pulled the FreeDoom WAD file out of the distribution package. The file size was WAY too big, there were compatibility issues with the levels, and there's no need to re-download it every time there's a new WiiDoom version.
Also, because of the compatibility issues, FreeDoom is no longer supported with WiiDoom. If we can iron out the bugs, it'll be supported again, but that's the lowest priority right now, so don't hold your breath.

News/release from ollipolli
Hello!
I have released DSwiki v0.1beta1.
DSwiki it is an offline viewer for the wikipedia or all other wikis which are based on the mediawiki framework.
This version now supports (nearly) arbitrary large Wikis, e.g. the english Wikipedia can be completely read.
Download
Download it from http://dswiki.googlecode.com/files/DSwiki-0.1beta1.zip.
A sample wiki (German Wikiquotes) is available here: http://dswiki.googlecode.com/files/D...ample-data.zip
The interface language is german, but there are only some status messages.
Pre-made wikipedia-dumps for DSwiki
Deutsche Edition: http://dswiki.googlecode.com/files/D...080712.torrent
Wichtig: Nach dem Download ist der Index-Bugfix von http://dswiki.googlecode.com/files/f...i-20080712.rar herunterzuladen, mit dem zwei Dateien überschrieben werden müssen.
English edition: http://dswiki.googlecode.com/files/D...080724.torrent
Important: Download the index-bugfix http://dswiki.googlecode.com/files/f...i-20080724.rar too and overwrite one files with it. In addition, the big file has to be split, follow the instructions in the included README.
More instructions on the installation and usage can be found in the README below. Two images are attached, the first showing a normal wiki article, the second showing the very good Unicode support.
Please test DSwiki and give me some feedback.
Have Fun!
OlliPolli
DSwiki (v0.1beta1)
====================
DSwiki is an offline viewer for Wiki markup, for example for the
Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wiktionaries, ...
DSwiki is NOT a web browser!
Why DSwiki?
=============
DSwiki is optimal for all people with a Nintendo DS that like to
have their information "portable", but cannot access the Internet
directly. So far, no Program was very good in displaying the
Wikipedia on the DS. NewDictS can display an uncompressed dump, but
this dump is outdated, and the Wikipedia has grown dramatically
since then, so compression was absolutely necessary. In addition,
most homebrew programs can't handle UTF-8.
DSwiki is based on
====================
-- NewDictS <http://tvgame360.com.tw/viewthread.php?tid=21913&extra=&page=1>
Thanks to sesa for graphics-/unicode- and font-routines
-- Wiki2Touch <http://code.google.com/p/wiki2touch/>
Thanks to Tom Haukap for the file format and index routines
-- libbzip2 <http://bzip.org/>
-- Terminus fonts <http://www.is-vn.bg/hamster/>
-- GNU Unifont <http://www.czyborra.com/unifont/> [DOWN]
<http://unifoundry.com/unifont.html>
Thanks to Roman Czyborra
Features
==========
-- Get the complete(!) Wikipedia on a Nintendo DS. The English language
edition fits on a 4GB storage device, the German edition is just 1.1GB.
-- Quite good handling of internal links. Alternative display text
and appended letters are supported to create the same look as
in the online version.
-- Very good Unicode/UTF8-Support (as much - or as little - as the
underlying font covers).
-- Fast and easy searchable index.
-- A cache to navigate quickly the history of visited pages.
Planned Features
==================
-- Much better markup display
-- Bookmarks
-- Improved Search (advanced input)
-- Navigation by document structure (jump to headlines or
jump from link to link as in text browsers)
-- "Find as you type" inside an article
-- Memory saving font handling, switching between fonts on the fly
-- Customization
Use
=====
At the moment DSwiki can't do more than display mostly unformatted
wiki markup of articles (but word and line breaks and a proportional
font make it easy readable).
DSwiki works as follows:
A random article will be loaded at the start.
Up/Down: Scroll one line backward/forward
Left/Right: Scroll one page backward/forward
Stylus: Follow a link on the bottom screen
L/R: Go one page back/forward in history
A: Go to another random article
X: Index-assisted search on/off
Articles names (no unicode yet) can be entered
on the keyboard.
Touching the red button clears the input field.
The D-Pad navigates through the index.
The L/R-buttons do bigger steps.
The current highlighted article name can be loaded
either by
* touching the green button
* pressing A
* touching Enter on the virtual keyboard
Installation
==============
1. Copy DSwiki.nds somewhere on your flash card, DLDI-patch it if
necessary.
2. Create dumps of your favorite wiki or download already prepared ones.
Visit <http://code.google.com/p/dswiki/wiki/Dumps> for a list.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT: PLEASE DO NOT DOWNLOAD THESE DUMPS AT THE MOMENT.
They were compiled with a buggy indexer, so the sorting
may be bad for some articles, others may not load.
I prepared new dumps with a correct indexer, and at the
moment, I'm working on a way to host these files on a
reliable organization's server.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Copy all files with the extensions
ifo
idx
ao1
ao2
db? [ ? = one letter, typically "a" or "b", "z" is used in older versions ]
into the root directory of your flash card.
Bugs/Issues
=============
-- Surely many ;-) Please report them!
Have Fun!

Last week I was motivated to make a super futuristic clock to train and ultimately I make a simple clock LED but a full black gives a rather nice, a rotation Sprite3D which gives an effect of light
I therefore put it online this unpretentious clock with sources

DSGameMaker posted a new game for the Nintendo DS:
As far as Im aware you can make changes to the entry up until the deadline so here goes, I'm only posting what I've done so far so people can comment if they want to. For the moment I haven't included the MP3 files so you'll just have to play it without sound, but it doesn't make too much difference.
NDS: http://www.invisionsoft.co.uk/uploads/testing.nds
Also just to note, the menu items do nothing as of yet, I'm developing the gameplay in a different file at the moment.

Dont worry i havent gone mad and i know Zack posted this the other day but for my own linkage reasons for the DS site ill post it as well and lets be fair an Apple 2 emu for DS deserves being praised and promoted.
News/release from Grizzly Adams
I've been working on this since the end of June when a friend told me about the retroemu contest. This is a completely new emulator written for this compo. Its very unfortunate I was not able to complete the disk emulation in time for entry. This is the fourth Apple II emulator I've worked on, and my second written from scratch. The Apple II is a challenge to emulate because of the many hardware tricks implemented by Steve Wozniak. It was because of these quirks that the Apple was more affordable than many of its competitors. I would have loved to have the disk emulation and other minor bugs fixed so that classics such as Oregon Trail, Number Munchers, Karateka, and Prince of Persia could be played. I plan to continue working on this emulator for the coming months. All feedback is welcome.
What's Implemented:
Apple II+ Hardware
MOS 65C02 CPU (Written in 100% ARM Assembly)
Text, LoRes, HiRes, Mixed graphics
Onscreen Keyboard
12 Built-In Applesoft Demos
Apple 16KB RAM "Language Card"
What's Missing:
Sound (It just recently broke)
Disk Controllers (Almost working, but disabled for now)
Planned Features:
DS Slot-2 RAM expanders used as Apple "Slinky" RAM Expansion
Harddisks and 3.5" Floppy support for ProDOS
Multiple Mockingboards / Phasor Soundcards
Tape In / Tape Out
Apple II, IIe, //c Emulation
Z80 Card
MIDI Interfaces
Control Mapping:
Keyboard Tab:
Touchscreen = Keyboard
Start = Menu
Defaults to Control-Reset and Shift-Mods enabled.
Joystick Tab:
Touchscreen = Player 0 & 1 Analog Joysticks
DPAD = Player 0 Digital Joystick
Buttons = Player 1 Digital Joystick
L = Player 0 Button
R = Player 1 Button
Start = Menu
Defaults to Auto-Center enabled.
Select = Fullscreen Analog Joystick Mode Toggle
Demo Tab:
Icon / A Button = Demo List
DPAD / A / B = Demo List controls
Menu Tab:
System Icon = Display Profile, Soft/Hard Reset
Peripheral Icon = Display Slot Contents

Two things: first off, craptastic pool cue Wiimote accessories are already widely available, and secondly, couldn't you just duct tape a controller to your favorite real cue and achieve almost the same thing? Terrible ideas aside, RealMotion has just revealed that it will be shipping a RealMotion Pool Cue companion accessory for its upcoming title, American Pool Deluxe. Reportedly, the unit is a "meticulously crafted cue built specifically to take advantage of the Wii remote's accelerometer technology for real precision and fun," but we'll have to envision it until the company gets smart enough to distribute a photo. Or is it really that embarrassing?

Last month's 360/PS3 FIFA 09 screens had the ripe whiff of Bullshot about them (hey - we could be wrong, let's see them in motion) but this crop of Nintendo DS shots seem much more likely.
We don't know much about what to expect from the pocket-sized version, but it looks pretty good - nice use of the touch screen for tactical overheads and a decent enough 3D match view up top.
FIFA 09 will be kicked into touch on all consoles, everywhere, on October 14th.

News from John Reder
This is my second GameBoy Advance game done in a little over 50 hours of development. Pocket Raider was inspired by one of my favorite 8bit era video games Will Wright's 'Raid on Bungling Bay' (1984). This game has 9+ levels, each 88+ screens in size. You fly an Airship whose mission is to bomb all enemy Gun Turrets, Speed Boats, Tanks and Buildings to complete each mission progressing through the enemies backbone of bases, factories and finally their command center.

Nintendo will be releasing Wii hospital drama Trauma Center: New Blood on 7th November in Europe.
New Blood, the sequel to Second Opinion, returns with Wiimote-sensing scalpel challenges, as patients arrive sporting all sorts of gruesome injuries only your expertise can fix.
You may remember our import review of the game from January, where we said it was enjoyable, compelling, and exciting. 8/10. It's not quite as bonkers as Second Opinion though.
But the real question is, is it as good as Casualty, the world's second longest-running medical drama? [This is not the real question. - Ed] Does it have, for instance, an enticing 'guess what the injury will be?' mechanic as little Johnny and his parents visit the fairground full of rusty rides and dishevelled travellers and bears and depleted uranium?
We do not think so.

Capcom's retro platformer sequel will be available for download on Wii Ware in Japan on September 24 - in a little under two weeks time.
That's according to Japanese mag Dengeki Online, which says that the awesome-looking NES-style follow-up will cost 1000 Wii Points to buy (about seven quid.)
There's no word on when the game will appear on Xbox Live Arcade and PSN at this point, but we can only assume that they'll appear there around the same time - especially as the 24th is a Wednesday, Xbox Live users.
In case you're oblivious to what the fudge we're on about, Mega Man 9 is a retro-styled follow-up developed to mimic the visual style of the first Mega Man games released in the 80s. The music and cut scenes are also similarly styled.

The Wii is still a difficult format for third-party publishers looking for sales success, according to one analyst.
While three Wii games from Nintendo featured in the top ten best-selling games for August in the US, EA's Madden NFL 09 was the only third-party Wii title to do so, despite the Xbox 360, PS3 and PS2 versions of the same game taking the top three positions.
"The Wii version of Madden 09 sold 79 per cent less units than the PS3 version and 87 per cent less units than the 360 version, despite a larger console installed base and an improved Metacritic rating," noted Doug Creutz of Cowen and Company.
"We continue to believe that the Wii is a relatively inhospitable platform for third-party publishers," he said.
Creutz also noted that no THQ titles made the top ten best-sellers in August for the third month running, Electronic Arts and Activision Blizzard only saw single digit year-on-year growth, and Take-Two sales were down 53 per cent due to 2007' release of BioShock.

Nintendo has updated the Wii Shop with three new WiiWare games, including the eight-player Bomberman Blast.
Hudson's latest attempt to make a few quid off the TV-headed explosives enthusiast will cost you 1000 Wii Points (GBP 7 / EUR 10 approx), and focuses on the classic multiplayer maze game where participants plant bombs to try and blow one another up. Is this allowed to come out on 12th September? Can someone check the rules?
Elsewhere there is Plattchen Twist 'n Paint, whose decision to do without capital letters for "twist" and "paint" we will not be upholding, and which is described as a puzzle shooter. Apparently you shoot and paint tiles to match them with others. All this for a whopping 1500 Wii Points (GBP 10.50 / EUR 15 approx).
Finally there is Midnight Pool, which costs 800 Wii Points (GBP 6 / EUR 8 approx) and simulates everyone's favourite pub sport. Well, second favourite after darts. Apparently it began life as a Flash game, which presumably means it's derived from the Gameloft one, although we could just be typing things in on Google and then pasting them here.
Actually, that sounds fun. Platypus octagon! Organic hatstand! Tomato reflex!
Look out for a roundup of these three WiiWare efforts next week.

I won’t lie – I was something of an otaku when I was young. (Okay, I still am; I founded the Mills College anime club, for crying out loud). I watched Gundam Wing, Sailor Moon and even Robotech, the mutant hybrid that should not have been but was somehow totally awesome. And, of course, I was into all things Dragon Ball – all the way through GT.
Dragon Ball Origins takes me back to the happy place that was after school and on Saturday mornings – somewhere between badly dubbed anime and expensive comics with thinly veiled adult humor. It’s an action-adventure in the same vein as Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass – an RPG that’s trimmed down for simple DS controls.

If Global Warming has taught us anything, it's that the sun is evil and must be avoided. Konami's bringing home all the fun of going to the shore in its upcoming WiiWare game, Sandy Beach.
This 3D sandcastle simulation, in development at Frozen Codebase, enables players like yourself to weild a Wii remote and sculp your own miniature structure. Enable "Crab Mode" and you'll have to protect your castle from invading vermin ready to collapse it to the ground.
The game, being prepped for a Fall 2008 release, features one player and co-op two player options, as well as the ability to snap pictures and save them to your photo album.
Watch for Sandy Beach to drop onto the WiiWare channel in the next few months.

Megaman has posted an update to his Gamecube Homebrew Launcher for the Wii, heres the full details:
Purpose
Launch Gamecube homebrew on Wii. Read before using! Program can be dangerous, because the flash is changed.
Changes in Version 0.2
Support for front SD slot.
Gamecube disc should work normally.
Background Information
DOL loader is patched into MIOS. If Wii switches to Gamecube mode, the DOL loader is always started. The loader will start Gamecube homebrew if loaded by GCBooterHomebrew. The loader launches the normal GC loader if no homebrew is detected. This behaviour can be disabled by reinstalling a normal MIOS. I don't have a Gamecube disc, so I don't have tested it.
Installation Steps
Copy RVL-mios-v5.wad.out.wad into root of front SD card (This file is not part of the archive and is located on Super Mario Galaxy Disc (EU)). If you use a different version, this is on your own risk. The MIOS patching wad installer will only allow to install MIOS. This can only break the GC mode. Loader should not patch any starlet code.
Patch MIOS using MIOSPatchingWADInstaller. CAUTION: I can't test if Gamecube disc are still working, but it should work! When I use a Wii Disc in Gamecube mode, I can see the normal MIOS error message, which tells that the disc is not compatible.
Copy your Gamecube Homebrew DOL into SD root as start.dol. Use Wii front SD slot.
Launch GCBooterHomebrew. This should start the the DOL on the SD card. If screen looks strange, you need to try it again. It is sometimes not working.

Uguru formerly known as LTK has finally released his MSX Emulator for the Nintendo Wii.heres the release info;
Although long ago he showed a video of uMSX in Wii, until very recently I could not touch up the minimum information so that it can be played in a more or less profitable.
Then libero a previous version of the first official Wii, by the time its Wii version, the emulator has no sound and there is the odd bug (the mini-shot that was recorded when starting guards, does not contain the correct colors ), And some options available on the menu, are not functional. I hope that everything is remedied in the next version.
However an emulator can be charged, Roms, DSK, save and load line, using Cheats, without (I hope) many problems. If there are other bug, or want to suggest something, preferably via forum.
Let them enjoy!

Obama Says: Yes We Can is a 'Simon Says'-type game based on Barack Obama's New Hampshire Primary speech, as later turned into song by will.i.am. Watch the game create a pattern of button and direction presses, and repeat that pattern correctly to score! The more you get correct, the harder the patterns become - can you keep up?
As always, use a real DS and a flash cart for best results. If emulating, No$GBA is recommended.

The Australian OFLC ratings board has given Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse a G rating, which means the title should be on its way to a Virtual Console near you relatively soonish. The circle will finally be complete, as Castlevania, Castlevania II: Simon's Quest, and Super Castlevania IV from the SNES era, are already on the download service.
So, those old enough to remember, who was your favorite playable character in the game: Trevor, Sypha Belnades, Grant DaNasty or Alucard?

As is usually the case with oft-delayed titles, details concerning the mystery-shrouded Disaster: Day of Crisis have been slim indeed. Thankfully, the official Japanese site for the disastrous survival game recently added a few explanations on how you'll be guiding optimistic protagonist Raymond Bryce through his very own terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.
According to a translation from Siliconera, the combat portion of the title plays like a light gun shooter with a Time Crisis-esque cover system. However, you'll need to bust out your best Smooth Moves to make it through the motion-sensitive survival segments, furiously shaking your Wiimote to outrun a tidal wave, push a bus, perform CPR or place an irate phone call to a puzzlingly absent FEMA. We'll have to wait on reactions from our Eastern Hemisphere acquaintences to see how these two great tastes taste

Bushing over at HackMii has posted this new article:
With the kind help of naamah31 (author of WUM), James and bigwolf, I have finally gotten my hands on a filesystem dump of a Korean Wii for analysis. It’s a little anticlimactic, but we finally have some of the answers.
What surprised me most was not only that BC & MIOS were present on this unit — but they’re the old, pre-tweezer-hack versions. There goes that theory. (This means that the GameCube support is probably disabled inside the System Menu, but I haven’t dug into that yet.)
On to the subject of the common key! The Korean Wiis ship with IOS versions 4, 9, 21, 37, 40, 41, 43, and 45. The last four are unique to the Korean Wii, and are not available on the Nintendo Update Server, as far as I can tell. (I also have seen no sign of a new update server, so unless I’ve missed something, we will eventually see these appear on the same NUS server.)
As xt5 astutely noted, there is a field in the ticket structure — byte 0×1f1 — that is set to 1 in Korean tickets, and 0 for “normal” tickets. Pulling up IOS40 in IDA Pro, I tried the first thing I could think of — Alt-T, text search for “0×1f1″, and landed on this:

As 106F contained a number of bugs in both the asm and the code, i deleted the old thread, to avoid confusion.
Lots of backend stuff was changed, to improve things at a later stage and allow us to work on Multi Dol game patches.
Once again, sorry for the delay in this release, it just took us along time to find all the problems.
If some cheat codes are still not working, PM me or kenobi the codes, these will just need an extra line or so adding to the code to fix, its nothing to worry about.
many thanks!

Bakaban realizes the first demonstration of its puzzle game "Orscol", in which you have to reach more possible cases in 5 seconds of the color shown on the right and therefore avoid reaching the top of the screen.
Quote:
On the plateau, squares and lines to fall s'amoncèlent. These squares are different colors. More colors are more varied it's hard. In a menu on the right, a color is displayed. It is the color erasable on the plateau. The color erasable change every 5 seconds (indicated by the discount, and an overview of the two following colors). An additional line falls with the same cadence. It must click on a square of this color to delete the plateau (which brought down the square above). If clicked a square is adjacent to another of the same color, it will also be deleted, and so on to make combo. You can also obtain advantage of points by carrying out "arial" (destroy a square chute), or "arial combo" ...
You can get bonuses and "super attacks" when during a round (5 second session), it achieves a combo more than 10 (single bonus) or 20 (super attack). In the upper screen I put three square to accommodate a wheel, which will determine what bonus or attack you win (or not). The simple bonus may be an object to freeze time, destroy a square (given that the colors are coming on random finds himself sometimes with a column of an undesirable color), etc. ... The super attacks are more effective and give rise to small animations

We like the idea of Lost in Blue. The only problem is it makes surviving on an island seem harder than surviving a nuclear blast. But maybe the Wii version will be different.
Lost in Blue: Shipwrecked is actually the fourth game, (the previous three hit DS), and is expected to be the biggest and deepest of the series. It's more of the same concept - you survive by looking for food, making your own tools and building stuff. Let's just hope it's possible for normal people to last more than two days.
It's due out in autumn. Shots here.

Konami has announced plans to release a sandcastle building game for Wii.
Good news for all those tired of old fashioned 2D sandcastle building games, as Sandy Beach is billed as "a fully 3D sandcastle building game".
Players will use the Wii remote to build their constructions, and can save photos of them in a special gallery. There's a co-op mode, and the rather exciting-sounding Crab Battle mode which sees said crustaceans attempting to invade your castle. You'll need to build strategically and fire cannons to see them off. Once that's done, you can use a metal detector to search for hidden treasures to decorate your castle with and extra cannons.
Sandy Beach is out this autumn.

Doctors in the UK are trying to get 15-25-year-olds tested for the STD chlamydia. Get this, the way they’re getting the young adults to participate in the testing is giving them a opportunity to win a Nintendo Wii. That’s right, if you ‘pee, you can win a Wii.’ Of course if your a woman, you don’t pee but get the area ‘gamers‘ call ‘the place I’ll never see,’ swapped with a q-tip.
Apparently some young adults are buying into it, Keeley Wilson (20) said:
“I probably wouldn’t get tested if there was no incentive. But if you could win a Wii you’d probably do it even if you weren’t at risk.”
I guess the Wii is more important than the chances of her cervix, urethra, and the glands of the ‘place we’ll never see‘ all becoming inflamed because of the STD. Seriously though, have you played Boom Blox?

News via Nintendomax:
Kukulcan also updates its other sokoban like "New Caisse DS" which also contained duplicates on 40 levels and then fixed on the other bugs.
Quote:
It should be noted that 07. NEW FUND DS has undergone other changes, namely:
Deletion of table movements to better see the image at the top.
Fixed a bug when displaying a level too big (it remained the Tiles of column 31, when leaving, gasp in horror).

News/release from Sylus101
Sprite Designing/Testing/Creating/Animating On the GO!
Just so it's clear and the purpose of the app isn't in question (as I think it might be) this is intended to be a developers helper in designing/modifying sprites, particularly for use with PALib, but since there is a binary export now I'm gathering they could be used with any dev platform (not like there are many others...).
This is NOT meant to be a stand-alone a program where you make neat-o animations.

Since the launch of the Nintendo Channel for the Wii earlier this year, Nintendo has been providing a DS Download Service with demos of released and upcoming DS games. Wii owners can boot up the DS Download Service through the Nintendo Channel and download various playable demos directly to their Nintendo DS, using the Download Play option. It works in the same way as the in-store download stations. The third-party games get updated every week and we've got info on this week's batch to let you know a little more about what you're getting.
The week of September 15
Crosswords DS - Wordsearch
Once again Nintendo plays the Crosswords DS flipflop: Wordsearch was last week, so Anagrams returns in its own demo. The demo features three levels of the Anagram minigame. Players take six letters and try to form them into words of three or more letters using the touch screen. As players find words, the other screen displays them, along with the progress and time. There are a few different letter assortments, so players should be able to play the demo a good three or four times.
Spore Creatures
The Spore Creatures demo is like the DS version of the "Creature Creator." Players can use about half of the total pieces in the game to create their own little critter. After making the creature, players can give it a little test run around a small island to see how it moves. There isn't any actual gameplay, but it will give players a taste of how to make a creation, and what the overall style looks and feels like.
Air Traffic Chaos
Air Traffic Chaos has been on the Service a few times, but is one of the few unreleased games on the rotation. The ATC demo has both the tutorial mode and the first level of the game. It's enough to teach players how to play and let them try it out, but doesn't get into the parts of the game that are actually chaotic. Still it could be enough to pique curious people's interest in this quirky title.
Arkanoid DS
This is the same Arkanoid demo that was on the Service in June. Arkanoid DS is a remake of the classic arcade game. The demo offers five levels, showcasing different level designs. The demo has both D-pad and Stylus control and players can customize the amount of lives and the difficulty. The demo goes until players beat the five levels, or die. The demo levels are pretty easy, but it gives you a taste of what the new Arkanoid is like, complete with plenty of powerups.
Nintendo also keeps a selection of first party titles up for download. They're not cycled out as often and most of them have been there since the Nintendo Channel launched.
Mystery Case Files: MillionHeir
The demo offers one of the levels for the hide and seek portion of the game. Players are given five minutes to find eight items in the level. Upon completion, players can start again, and find eight different items. We played it three times without having to repeat items.
Brain Age 2
The Brain Age 2 demo features three quick play modes. There's the Brain Age Test that will give the player an approximate brain age based on a verbal match of rock, paper, scissors. There's also a quick play training mode that shows off the rotating letters minigame, complete with touch screen letter recognition. Finally the Quick play sudoku lets players enjoy a quick sudoku puzzle in one of the better presentations for the system.
Brain Age
The older sibling of the Brain Age 2 demo. It's the same kind of deal. There's a Brain Age Test minigame that has players shout colors into the DS microphone. The training game is a simple math problem test that uses the touch screen to write. Sudoku is in this one too, which means you've got two free sudoku puzzles you can play if you get both demos.
Flash Focus
Flash Focus is a game designed to improve focus and hand-eye coordination. It features a simplified Eye Age test where players remember the direction letters are facing as they flash by on the screen. The training game is more hands on. It's a baseball minigame where players have to tap the ball to hit it. The pitches get harder each time the player connects with the ball and the game ranks you at the end.
Crosswords DS
For the non-Sudoku inclined, Crosswords DS features the classic crossword puzzles that have been gracing newspapers long before number puzzles. The demo features the classic Crosswords mode, one of three gameplay modes in the final version. Players can select the difficulty of the puzzle, as well as the option to turn on an assist mode that lets the player know if the answer is right or wrong. The whole demo uses the touch screen so players can see how well the letter recognition system works.

Nintendo are known to get pissy with warez on their consoles, they are actively doing a worldwide stance against the r4 flash cart and sadly homebrew will be affected, ive recently read articles claiming that sites who log all the games pirated do damage to the Homebrew Community, im not naming the sites to start scene wars and yes they probably do some damage but these sites arent really considered Homebrew anyway and they risk Nintendos wrath that really is up to them, but today we have seen sites posting videos of a backup loader that promises to massive damage to the Wii Homebrew Scene a scene that has made massive strides with some great emulators on the horizon with most of the consoles we love emulated on the system. The posting of the videos and the way that piracy is embraced hurts the scene again and yes we risk Nintendo coming after homebrew sites infact in some ways it may serve them right but if they do it could drag the whole community in, im not sure about other sites but i dont know of any who could fight against the likes of Nintendo.
Now i know that most likely 99% of people pirate in some form or another but this could give the main companies just what they want to nail the homebrew scene down.

You'd think that after recent announcements of Shining Force Feather and Phantasy Star Zero Sega would be all RPGed out. Apparently not! Today, the company partially unveiled an all new RPG, and this one could be even bigger than those two!
The new RPG is... well, we don't even have a name yet! Nor do we have a platform. All we know is what's being shown at this teaser website
According to the site, the game is being produced by Rieko Odama of Phantasy Star and Skies of Arcadia fame, directed by Kazuya Ninou of Etrian Odyssey fame and will feature musical composition by Yuzo Koshiro of Streets of Rage fame. Character designs are by Mota.
The site doesn't offer any clear details on game content, although given the "dragon" in the URL and the silhouetted dragon that appears at the end of the teaser flash animation, it appears likely that dragons will have a part in the game.
With the mention of "Dragon," one is likely to think "Dragon Force." However, Sega has noted that this mystery project is an all new title, suggesting that sequels are out.
We'll find out for sure on the 26th, which is when the title is supposed to be fully unveiled. As usual with the Japanese news, things will probably leak out a couple of days in advance, so check back in the middle of next week.
And in the meanwhile, enjoy those two musical tracks that serve as background music at the teaser site.

Encompassing a variety of different characters while exploring many exotic locations and cultures across the game's universe of parallel worlds, Suikoden: Tierkreis will expand the bounds of the handheld RPG. Featuring the franchise's established gameplay while maximizing the technological capabilities of the DS to provide all-new online elements, this epic RPG consists of many cinematic experiences that will drive the grand storyline of the 108 Stars of Destiny as they battle to thwart the powerful One King.

The Suikoden series launched in 1995 in Japan and was released in the U.S. on the PlayStation game console in December of 1996.

News/release from Jayenkai
JNKPlat DS 08 - Third Edition
Updates
Extra stuff, menu tweak, editor fixes, yada yada.
And, I think (!) I finally got rid of that random "<-- start" that kept popping up on the menu!!
Levels
6 packs included, 67 levels total!
I've placed Another World's levels in as Another World.. Seemed to fit!
Sir Voe's are in as Sir Voe's Simple Set, even though they aren't that simple!!
Midway
If you get halfway through a level pack (and the middle's at least 5 levels in!) you'll be able to restart from the Midway by hitting B on the menu, instead of A.
DLDI vs Non-DLDI
Folk who don't have DLDI will be able to play.. Woot! But they won't be able to save. Awww..
Those with DLDI should stick the JNKPLAT/ directory into their root so they can save.
Blocks are listed in the Level Editor Readme file that's now included.
(I think I remembered to add them all!!)
As always, submit bugs, comments, ideas, levels, etc..

We wouldn't go so far as to say that the apprentice has become the teacher, but over three years after modder extraordinaire Benjamin Heckendorn crafted his very own portable Nintendo 64, along comes one of his dedicated followers with another take on things. The Darth 64 is easily one of the most convoluted console hacks we've ever seen, utilizing bits and pieces from an N64, PSOne, GameCube and a Lazer Doodle. Somehow or another, hailrazer was able to actually make those seemingly unrelated components work together to form a "handheld" N64 console -- one that's battery powered, no less. Tap the read link for lots more construction pics, and don't forget to bow down upon entering.

Newly released today:
Dragon Ball DS is an interactive retelling of the popular manga/ anime series. Instead of having Goku as an omnipotent fighter, the DS action adventure takes the players back to Goku's childhood, the time when he met Buruma and begins his journey for the 7 dragon balls.
As a full fledged action adventure, elements such as puzzle solving, fights and memorable scenes are fully incorporated. The game makes use of the twin screen feature of the Nintendo DS, keep an eye on both screens as you can attack enemies on the upper as well as on the lower.
The two screens are working as one when the game shows memorable scenes, so expect the fearsomeness of dragons or the hilariousness of the comic elements to affect you at tenfolds.
Aside from the twin screens, the touch screen feature is also fully utilized, drag Goku across the screen the speed at which you drag your pen affects his speed as well. Change from fist fighting mode to weapon fighting mode to activate the different abilities of the character.

Ignition Entertainment has scooped up the rights to bring Blue Dragon Plus to DS in both North America and Europe in March 2009.
Ignition says Blue Dragon is a top-rated show on Cartoon Network in the US. We wouldn't know as we've never seen it but we've put plenty of blood, sweat and beers into the 360 RPG. We got to disc two and everything!
The DS version is looking like a 30 hour monster by the way. It was also directed by ex-Final Fantasy man Hironobu Sakaguchi, who fathered the 360 version.
Official story stuff says: "The story of Blue Dragon centres on a young boy named Shu and several of his friends who possess the ability to control phantom shadows that mirror the actions of their masters. In Blue Dragon Plus, one year has passed since Shu and his companions defeated the tyrannical remnant of the Ancients, Nene.
"In the midst of the battle, the world split in two and now consists of a myriad of cubes that exploded from its depths. King Jibral notices a mysterious cube in the distance suddenly start to move violently, and from it he sees the Shadow of a Balaur, a three-headed dragon, emerge. The enormous and sinister Shadow is just the beginning of the new turmoil and devastation to come."

News/release from Nuke:
Whats New:
1. USB Gecko Rebooter with Master hook!
2. Universal System Menu rebooter options!
What is Rebooter?
This is pure USB Gecko awesomeness, What this does is reboots the console but with a 'Master Hook' enabled. Which means you can use WiiRD just about anywhere, including the system menu itself for remote debugging, downloading, testing patches or in any games.
If you are a cheat code hacker, master hook will stay alive when your game is loaded so you can remote debug any game that wasn't possible with GeckoOS normal loader. We have even created a silent loader which will also boot all Multi DOL games like Red Steal and house of the dead 2/3 which was not possible before!.
Exta Rebooter Options: (Can be used even if no USB Gecko)
1. Boot into Recovery Diagnostics mode (Boots Nintendo Diagnostic DVD's)
2. Boot all Import Games (Wii & Gamecube) (no modchip required!) As an added bonus our patch detects the game inserted and will patch the correct TV mode. All DVD update checks will be removed when this is selected.
3. Skip Button check - Just skips the A button check.
4. No Copy flag. With this enabled, you can now copy your protected Wii save games (SSBB etc) to SD card in the system menu as you would any other save!
As an added bonus for None USB Gecko users i've added ocarina to work with rebooter. Just make sure its enabled in the 'config' menu like before
Rebooter uses progressive scan patching so will work on all regions and versions System Menu 3.2 and 3.3
Again we didn't have time to add Ocarina / WiiRD to Gamecube mode, but we know how now so expect to see this very soon.
Some Gargon:
------------
All patches, multi dol loader, rebooter and game detection / TV Mode stub is all original code written by myself (Nuke) and kenobi in pure PPC asm, the USB Gecko master hook is the same USB Gecko server used in GeckoOS, so WiiRD, Cheats etc work with rebooter without modifications.
No IOS or other NAND hacks are used in the program
For developers - Our detection code and stub is locatated at 81700000 with the server at 80001800 which will be activated when a Game is inserted and Game ID read, TV Mode is switched in this code also. The Multi DOl loader is at 80001000 and this patches the menu to keep Hooks alive when Game Dol's are reloaded, i.e main.dol is overwritten by redsteel.dol etc.
The system menu is located in memory at 0x81330000, you can dump this in WiiRD.
One final note, I noticed sometimes the patches are not fully wiped from memory even when hard reset, if this happens just eject the game and power off for a few minutes.
Disclaimer
Rebooter doesn't patch anything in the NAND, and is tested very safe. However as you have full control with USB Gecko over the system menu and have full root privileges, please only upload and poke around with the system menu if you know what you are doing. We are not responsible if you cause your console to brick.
Enjoy!

Capcom's been pretty quiet following the shocking announcement of Monster Hunter 3's platform switch from the PS3 to the Wii. Now, with more than 2.5 million sales of the recent PSP version firmly establishing the series as one of Japan's biggest, the Wii version has at long last come back into the spotlight with a huge blowout in the latest Famitsu.
The magazine scored an interview with two key hunters, producer Ryozo Tsujimoto and director Kaname Fujioka. The concept for the game, according to Tsujimoto, is to restart Monster Hunter from scratch, filling the game with new ideas. The switch in platforms from the PS2 to the Wii was one of the reasons for this big rethinking of the series, Fujioka explained.
Monster Hunter 3 will place players on a new field: an unexplored island. This setting appears to offer a lot of variety, from thick forests, to dark caves, all the way to deep underwater environments surrounding the island.
The two developers spoke at length about the new swimming component of the game. Players will have full swimming controls over their in-game counterparts when exploring the underwater environments. Outside of hunting for giant submerged beasts, you'll also be able to hunt fish which can later be used as ingredients.
While you'll have most of your land-based abilities available to you while underwater, including the ability to use long-range weapons, you'll have to keep one thing in mind when swimming: air. You have an air gauge which depletes with time, similar to your stamina gauge when running about on land.
In addition to the water environments, you'll be able to explore dark areas, like caves. To light up your surroundings, you make use of torches. Without torch light, these areas would be too dark for hunting.
MH3 will also include brand new monsters. Capcom is approaching this area of the game from a fresh start as well. Fujioka expects that the monsters reappearing from past installments will have a certain freshness about them.
One particular creature is getting particular attention. An giant underwater dragon creature, who happens to be known as king of the waters, is the game's main monster, Fujioka revealed. This dragon can actually survive outside the water, so players will be able to face off against him while swimming or walking, depending on preference.
Monster Hunter 3 will see the return of one element of the series that has been missing from the recent PSP entries: online play. Online mode can be played in four player groups, just like the PS2 installments.
The game retains the concept of a "city," which acts as a lobby for chatting and meeting with other players. When playing solo, this city becomes a village that slowly expands with new facilities and access routes for the island.
While Capcom isn't ready with a final release date for Monster Hunter 3, the game is far enough in development that it will be making a playable appearance at the Tokyo Game Show, which kicks off in Japan on October 9. Expect full hands-on impressions from IGN's monster hunters then.

Video game accessories have just reached a new stage of technological innovation with the introduction of TeknoCreations's InCharge remote charger for Nintendo Wii. Designed to charge one or two Wii remotes, the InCharge is the first and only charging station that will power Wii remotes without having to remove Silicon skins or most other similar protective covers.
Using the power of Lithium Polymer battery packs, the InCharge for Wii provides up to 25 hours of battery life on a full charge and is 50% lighter than other charge solutions for Wii. Likewise the InCharge, which retails for $34.99, uses a contactless inductive charging solution rather than metal contacts to charge each Wii remote. With the InCharge, gamers can save money on batteries as well as eliminate complications that arise from dirty or greasy battery contacts that occur with other Wii chargers.
"The InCharge is a powerful and effective tool that every Wii fan can benefit from," commented Mark Kasok, TeknoCreation's VP of Sales and Marketing. "Our designers have completely eliminated the metallic contact points that always seem to fail over time due to excessive accumulation of dirt, grime, sweat and grease. And gamers no longer have to constantly remove and replace their protective remote skins. Simply drop the Wii remote into the cradle and it will quickly recharge for up to twenty five hours of gaming." Continued Kasok: "The InCharge is the most convenient, cost-effective and technologically advanced charging station available to Wii fans."
InCharge Product Highlights:
Charges through Nintendo Silicon skins and most other protective skins
Uses Lithium Polymer Batteries for increased charging power and reliability
Charge up to two Wii remotes simultaneously
Non-metal conductive charging solution (charge not affected by dirt or grime)
Up to 25 hours of battery power per charge
Rapid recharge solution
50% lighter than other charging solutions
Easy to read LED charge indicator lights
Easy to clean and saves on battery cost

One of gaming's hottest rumors became truth today with the revelation that Capcom will be bringing Tatsunoko VS Capcom to the Wii. Famitsu got first details in its newest issue.
The arcade version isn't due for final release until December, but the magazine states that the Wii version will feature new elements, including the option for simplified Wiimote-based controls (just an option -- the game also supports a full controls via the Classic Controller).
Capcom is also working on an original character for the Wii version, the genie Hakushon Daimaou. The current cast will all be there as well, of course.
Also included are a set of mini games. Capcom is preparing a mini game for each of the included characters.

Features
Wiimote, Nunchuk, Classic, and Gamecube controller support

This does not occur with Gameboy Color games or original Gameboy games, which do not use the frameskip function.
Installation
If you are using the Homebrew Channel just copy the apps directory from the archive to the root of your SD card. If you are using another loader use the executables/vbagx_wii.dol.
ROMs & saves files should be stored in vbagx/roms and vbagx/saves on the root of your SD card or USB flash drive. You can copy the vbagx directory from the archive to your support drive. Your ROMs must be in ".gba" format.
Launch the emulator using your Loader.

News/release from roubignolo
Crackdown clone, well, supposed to be.
This build is a very early test bed and is only playable on No$gba.
You need to emulate 2 DS in order to use the mandatory wifi feature.
Basically, you see others players listed, you choose one to challenge. The other accepts and then you access the game.
3D on both screen + wifi + bugs
You move on the same playfield and you can see your opponent moving on your screen. You can run, jump and rotate.
You can also admire the pink textures supposed to be transparent (I'm currentlly strugling on the development forum)
the code (.ds.gba) : http://dl.free.fr/rTrEpOH9C/Code3D.ds.gba
the code (.nds) : http://dl.free.fr/qBnOl6bCD/Code3D.nds

News/release from Sylus 101
Sprite Designing/Testing/Creating/Animating On the GO!
Just so it's clear and the purpose of the app isn't in question (as I think it might be) this is intended to be a developers helper in designing/modifying sprites, particularly for use with PALib, but since there is a binary export now I'm gathering they could be used with any dev platform (not like there are many others...).
This is NOT meant to be a stand-alone a program where you make neat-o animations.
v0.92.9c has a small bug fix in it... see read me.

Aerthel has today updated his app for the DS, heres the full details;
Hello there! This is actually my first post here but i've been reading the wiki and this forum for quite a time (and i have to say, you have a very nice nds homebrew community here). Some years ago, I began a project called 'Project Sheratan' but it was meant to produce a Flash game. To make a long story short, I didn't have the skills to create good Flash content, so I began searching for another platform to program on. When I learned about this community through a friend, the idea came back again.
-- Project Motivation --
This Project (though is not the same as before, i'm keeping the name) aims to create a Card Battle engine for RPG games on Nintendo DS, mimicking the Baten Kaitos series's card system. If you haven't played such games (shame on you! ), there are some pretty good YouTube videos like this one to show how the system works. Basically, you have cards that control your characters movements and actions, and played in certain order will resultin flashing and devastating attack combos.
-- Current Project Status Info --
Latest Release: v0.011
Bottom screen Screenshot
Instructions:
* L/R changes the music
* Touch a card to display its name
* Touch a card while holding Down (or B for left-handed players) to discard it
* Touch a pair of cards while holding Up (or X for left-handed players) to swap them
* Touch a character miniPotrait to set him/her as the "selected character"
* Touch a card while holding Left (or Y for left-handed players) to play it
* Once you play a card, a combo will start, and the timer will activate. Try to finish your combo before the time runs out.
* To play cards in a combo, make sure their numbers go in ascending order like 0->1->2->3->4. You can start the combo with any card, but numberless ones won't result in a combo.
* Once the combo starts, the helping system will find the next playable cards and point them.
As always, you can find more info in the last post
Well, people, I managed to make some final adjustments that were keeping me from releasing a stable new build of Project Sheratan , so here it is
Current Version : v0.011
New Features:
* Cards are now playable! Play them in succesion (0,1,2,3..) to make a combo, but be warned, you have a limited amount of time to do this
* As I just mentioned, the combo timer is done.
* The card selection helping system activates when you play a card. If it's a numbered card, it will search your card for the most appropiate cards for you to play next. Obviously, it's just a help, you still need to select the cards to play them.
* The card tray now recieves your played cards and counts them, like the BK Origins battle system did
* The music is now loaded form the EFS, so music files are no longer a problem (build includes 8 tunes to demonstrate this)
New Controls:
* Touch a card with the stylus while holding Left or Y to play the card.

This is easily one of the more unorthodox hacks we've come across, and while we have all ideas only a few will even bother to give it a go, we couldn't help but share. Steve from PanoCamera decided that lugging around a laptop for precisely controlled shooting was just too much effort, so rather than throwing in the proverbial towel, he simply figured out a better way. By hacking the DS to play nice with his monstrous Canon, he was able to use the handheld to begin / stop shooting and tweak all manners of settings. For those interested in having one of their own, but completely uninterested in using their innate DIY skills to make it happen, drop ole Steve an e-mail.

Ruh roh. Those wildly flung patent infringement claims tossed out by Hillcrest Laboratories could have some merit, but even if not, it'll be the ITC making the call. The US International Trade Commission has given itself the green light to investigate the allegations made by the aforesaid company, which state that Nintendo infringed on four of its patents in order to make obscenely large quantities of cash with the hot-selling Wii. There's no telling how high (or low) this is in the agency's priority list, but we'll be keeping an ear to the ground for some sort of resolution, regardless.

British modder Bacteria really likes cartridges. The bigger the better. He turned an entire N64 console into a gigantic, beige cart, then took a slew of cheap plug 'n play games and did the same -- though smaller and minus the neutral tones. He dubbed that latest creation the Mini-Platform Plug'n'Play Console System, and promised that Game Boy Advance integration was coming soon. Two weeks later it's here courtesy of a little solder and hot glue, opening up the massive library of Game Boy and Advance titles. Yeah, the system isn't much to look at, and with an entire GBA hanging off the back it's pushing the limits of the word "mini." But, it is an intrepid hack and, like his others, he's more than happy to tell you how he did it.

Last night we reported that the U.S. International Trade Commission had agreed to fully investigate the claims made by Hillcrest Laboratories that the Nintendo Wii infringes on four patents they hold for motion-controlled devices.
While this doesn't signal decision on merit, it does mean that it's worth a judge's time to take a close look at it. If the Wii is found to violate Section 337 of the Tariff Act, the Wii can be withdrawn from sale in the U.S.
We contacted Nintendo for comment last night. Their rather straight-forward response just arrived:

devilsbook has posted a new version of the Snes Emulator for the Nintendo Wii with his own enhancements:
I don't know if anyone would be interested in it, but just in case...I had made a hack of SNES9x GX, which is identical to the "official" SNES 9x GX version 004 except that in addition to .zip, it supports other archive formats than .zip, some offering better compression: .gz, .tar.gz, .bz2, .tar.bz2, and JMA, which is similar to 7-Zip (supposedly it gives better compression for SNES ROMs, according to the author of the SNES tool NSRT, which as far as I know is the only JMA archiver).
Credits...JMA code was ported from the desktop version of SNES9x, bzip2 code was based on libbzip2 as included in WiiEngine by Hermes, and gz was provided by zlib, with the tar code by me.
I hope someone may find it useful.

Although all we ever want to do in Sonic games is go mental fast (which is why we hate all the other characters and their slow stages), we actually like the look of Sonic is his fatter ferocious for ripping everything to shreds.
These news screens are taken from the Wii version which, admittedly isn't as immediately pleasing to the eye as the PS3 and 360 version, but it's still looking nice.

Tantric has released a new version of the Game Boy Advance emulator for the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo Gamecube, heres whats new:
[[What's New 1.0.1]
* GBA games now run at full speed
* Menu improvements, with spiffy new background - thanks brakken!
* Fixed L/R buttons - they work now
Features
Wiimote, Nunchuk, Classic, and Gamecube controller support
Custom controller configurations
SD / USB support
SRAM & State saving
MEM2 ROM Storage for fast access
Auto frame skip for those core heavy games
Notes from the Developer
ZIP/DVD/SMB/GameCube Memory Card support are NOT implemented yet. The current build does NOT have adjustable frameskip. Frameskipping is set to 'AUTO' and cannot be changed. While speed is generally near perfect, sound tends to rebuffer as a result of frameskipping, so in-game music may suffer as a result, sounding like a CD-skipping. This does not occur with Gameboy Color games or original Gameboy games, which do not use the frameskip function.
Installation
If you are using the Homebrew Channel just copy the apps directory from the archive to the root of your SD card. If you are using another loader use the executables/vbagx_wii.dol.
ROMs & saves files should be stored in vbagx/roms and vbagx/saves on the root of your SD card or USB flash drive. You can copy the vbagx directory from the archive to your support drive. Your ROMs must be in ".gba" format.
Launch the emulator using your Loader.

To this he adds the correction of certain bugs

Emulator Megadrive: GenPlusGX

For the string "Homebrew Launcher"
-- At the root of the SD or DVD, create a folder named "GenPlus" and in this one two subfolders, "ROMS" and "SAVES"
Emulator Master System & Game Gear: SMSPlusGX
For the string "Homebrew Channel"
For the string "Homebrew Launcher"
-- At the root of the SD or DVD, create a folder named "SMSPlus" and in this one two subfolders, "ROMS" and "SAVES"
Game Boy emulator: GnuBoyGX
For the string "Homebrew Channel"
For the string "Homebrew Launcher"
-- At the root of the SD or DVD, create a folder named "GnuBoy" and in this one two subfolders, "ROMS" and "SAVES"

For the string "Homebrew Channel"
For the string "Homebrew Launcher"
-- At the root of the SD or DVD, create a folder named "Hugo" and that this two subfolders, "ROMS" and "SAVES"
I cant find new releases apart from the 26th of August on his sites for these emulators so im a tad unsure. But they are all here for download.

News/release from clone45
Announcing cellsDS: A free flexible, programmable grid-based music sequencer for the Nintendo DS. cellsDS is six sequencers in one, with each sequencer being controlled by a user definable Lua script. It is the peculiar anti-social stepchild of the Tenori-On and Monome.
Download it from the download page.
Features include:
* Dead simple user interface.
* Ability to create your own unique sequencer rules using the Lua programming language. CellsDS comes with a developer’s guide and example scripts to get you started.
* 175 sounds are included. With a little work, you can add your own sounds.
* Ability to customize the scale. (All you microtonal nerds will be pleased.)
* Coming soon… Wifi-Midi support.
There are some limitations to the Lua scripts that you can write due to performance issues. Please refer to the Developer’s Guide (included in the distribution) for more details. In short, cellsDS sequencers need to perform briskly - which might rule out things such as doing expensive cellular-automaton calculations.
A special thanks to all of the beta testers for their ideas and support. Please report any bugs to the forums.
Cheers,
- Bret

Nintendo has been hush-hush on any new, big Wii and Nintendo DS projects since July's Electronic Entertainment Expo, but if current rumors are to be believed, that radio silence won't be for much longer.
Word through various sources is that Nintendo is readying a press event in Japan for October 2nd or 3rd. While we have yet to receive confirmation of such event from our Nintendo of America sources, this rumor is strengthened by a two-day event scheduled by NOA for October 2nd and 3rd in the US.
No hints of what the company has planned have been revealed by NOA, but the timing of the Japanese event rumor ties in well with the Nintendo of America event. It's possible that a large-scope announcement or announcements will be made by Nintendo's Japanese branch and relayed to North American press during the scheduled event.
We'll have more as it breaks.

Yes the release of waninkokos back uploader has apparently been leaked on the net and all those who enjoy pirating are happily doing whatever they do, sadly for real homebrewers this is a kick in the teeth. Even worse when respected tech sites like engadget etc post it with somewhat delight in the post, nice to see homebrewers from not just the wii scene condemn this, despite what some tards on lesser sites think this is bad for homebrew and homebrew sites, yeah Sony apparently havent got the brains or dont give a monkeys about the PSP apart from anyone selling consoles to us in europe (remember lik sang) but Nintendo are a different propostition but whatever happens and appareantly Waninkoko has abandoned the project this will im sure lead to repercussions, ill be interested to hear what Bushing, Marcan and others from Hackmii have to say on this subject.
Yes anyone with any knowledge knows that Wii Modchips have run backups for a long time (more importantly homebrew) but this release that doesnt need any extra hardware so its extremely damaging for nintendo, im not sure how easy to brick your console it will be because of the hack but frankly you take the risk.
I will post updates on this when they come in.

We just never got the hang of that little blue robotic man, with his arm-blaster and his wall jumping and his awesome friends, and the Nyko Wing helped none at all: we managed to kill they guy about five seconds after picking up the controller. Still, it's a nice little chunk of plastic. It's much more natural in the hand than that funky Classic Controller, and seems rather high-quality for a Nyko product, but the d-pad is too mushy for our taste, and the whole assembly seems a tad too light. Either way, we're sticking with Mario.

... With "tasteful" minigames. Indeed, Nintendo Power has published the first comprehensive preview of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, according to details provided by NeoGAF poster botticus. The relayed information (in handy bullet-point format), describes Chinatown Wars as a "true GTA game," which is to say, a Mature-themed sandbox game concerned with all things criminal (just like the survey said). The DS technology limits gameplay to an isometric camera angle with cel-shaded visuals, though the load times, draw distance and frame rate are reportedly sound; and weather effects, along with a day and night cycle are in tact. The preview claims there are plenty of on-screen pedestrians and cars -- speaking of: there are multiple radio stations, mostly juiced with instrumental tunes. All in all, "800,000 lines of hand-optimized source code" are packed into the tiny cart.
What else? Chinatown Wars is said to return players to a sizeable portion of Liberty City (wild guess: Chinatown?), though the map has been altered from the console version. Missions also will be shortened and can be easily restarted upon failure. The D-pad is used for aiming, while the R-button activates auto-targeting; and there's "subtle" auto-steering built into the driving controls. The touchpad will be used for the aforementioned minigames, in addition to navigating the PDA-like UI, which includes email, contacts, the map, a music player, GPS, and stat-tracking (stats can be Wi-Fied to the Social Club). Now, how about some, uh ... scans? (Or better: screens! C'mon Rockstar, with this game scheduled to release in mere months, throw us a friggin' bone or two!)

Sonic the mutant hedgehog heads the Virtual Console billing today, with the Master System port now available. If only he had stayed on that side of the road.
He's followed by a pair of C64 gems, the first being Boulderdash. This game has had countless sequels and a few remakes along the way - and for good reason: the original formula of digging through caves collecting jewels while avoiding obstacles such as rocks and monsters remains potent.
Jumpman is steeped in even more historical importance, as it was the original name given to Mario in the arcade game Donkey Kong. Jump around platforms defusing bombs, simple. However, as Retro heads will know, this is Epyx's Jumpman, and absolutely nowt to do with Nintendo's platformer. Still. It's a good 'un.
Each of these Virtual Console morsels cost 500 Wii Points, which translates to GBP 3.50 / EUR 5.

The Tom Clancy line of games are on their way to Wii, Ubisoft big man Yves Guillemot has confirmed.
The Splinter Cell, Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon series' have been some of the biggest games for the hardcore crowd in the past and current generation, but none have seen the light of day on Wii... yet.
"Tom Clancy will appear [on Wii] at one point," confirmed Guillemot, adding: "We need to make sure they [look good]."
"We have engines that were created for the next-generation consoles. We had to re-engineer a certain number of engines to be sure we could use the quality of the machine," he told Game Daily.
"Even without the [high-end] graphics, the experience can still be very interesting. ... To make sure we can create good enough products [on Wii] or products better than Nintendo's takes time. That's why you don't see many products, but you will see more and more in the future."
We'll be hoping for more than rehashed ports of old games, though (Price of Persia, we're looking at you). Which of the three would you like to see first?

Nintendo has confirmed Wii Music will launch in the US on October 20th.
You know, it's the game (OR IS IT A GAME or is it not or is it or DOES IT MATTER) where you get to play all manner of musical instruments using the Wii remote. Videos et cetera can be found on the gamepage.
So when's it out here? No idea. "We've made no announcement for Europe," a spokesperson told us. "This is just for the US." We're guessing it'll arrive in time for Christmas, though.

Specialist retailer GameStop has said that it is confident it can meet demand for the Nintendo Wii this Christmas.
Although the retailer stopped short of promising to stock the in-demand console on a daily basis, it did say that supply from Nintendo had increased, with less chance of consumers going away empty handed this year.
"It's been a unique ride for Nintendo to have the Wii going into a third year this November where the consumer may still be searching for it," said vice president of merchandising Bob McKenzie, reports MTV.com.
"Our look from Nintendo, though, is that it will be much, much better than it has been the last two years.
"I can’t say we will be in stock every day throughout the holiday season but I can tell you that the current flow we’ve seen coming from Nintendo on Wii hardware makes us very confident that we will meet the business model that we’ve got," he said.

News via engadget
A double shot of bad news for the Wii hacking set today -- not only do new Wiis appear to have a modchip-proof layer of epoxy around the DVD-ROM IC chips, Waninkoko has abandoned the Wii Backup-Loader project. The modchip news isn't all that surprising -- Ninty's been fighting a losing battle against chip devs for a while now, and gluing things down with epoxy is a logical solution -- but Waninkoko quitting is a bit of a shock, since we just caught wind of the Wii Backup-Loader a few days ago. Apparently he's not happy that it was leaked this morning, so he's dropping it.
Shame the wii homebrew scene has already been hurt with the piracy release

Everybody's favorite Mega Man -- who's not actually a man, but, in fact, a robotic boy with an insatiable lust for power and a proficiency for murderous kleptomania -- will kick off his throwback, comeback tour in North America later this month. Capcom has confirmed that Mega Man 9 will leap through Wiiware's shutter next week, on September 22nd, with the PlayStation Network version following on September 25th (for $9.99). Xbox Live Arcade will have to make do with October 1st.
Whichever version you end up buying, there's no question that you'll end up dying. But hey, since it's for everlasting peace, it's for a worthy cause

Ignition Entertainment sent us these screens of their new Nintendo DS game Tornado.
I'll spare you the full plot, but it involves Toki and his Cosmic Cleaners collecting stolen items using their tornado machines.
What this boils down to is some quite Katamari Damacy-like gameplay, with a very DS twist as you use the stylus to whip up a tornado that sucks up whatever you have been asked to recover.
Must play hell on your touchscreen - better invest in a new protective film.

Well having just spent an hour or so reading comments between the sites who host the piracy loader of waninkokos, i find it amusing the amount of bitching between sites, apparently someone at GBAtemp uploaded the file and then it was newspost and sent as a newspost to every tech site for maximum effect, then the next wave of sites posted the release including some sites that boast to be anti piracy and now funny of all the same sites and their users/staff are calling GBA Temp for leaking it.
This to me is hilarious, i really dont care about those sites because its damn obvious that they arent part of any true homebrew scene but you cant be calling sites for leaking a release and then host it yourself. The simple matter is that you are as bad as them. Infact take for example stealing, the police will actually hand out more severe punishment for those handling stolen goods, i know thats not really a good example but you should get what i mean. Im still interested to hear from the HackMii Team, going to be an interesting time for the Wii scene.

Every year, market researchers Interbrand publish a little chart. Amongst marketing types, it's very important. They compile what they believe are the top 100 "hottest" brands in the world, and rank them in order of, well, "hotness". Any and all brand names are eligible, so the top of the list is dominated by names like Coke, IBM, Microsoft McDonalds. But cast your eyes down the list to #40 and you'll see little old Nintendo. No doubt thanks to the continued success of the Wii and DS, they moved up four places from the 2007 list, one spot behind Kellogs and one spot ahead of...Swiss financial services firm UBS. They're the only games-specific "brand" to make the list; both Sony (#25) and Microsoft (#3) are present, but they're of course there primarily for other stuff.

And so the natural progression begins anew. We see blurry shots of a Japanese game from scans of a Japanese mag, then a few days later, they get around to releasing those same screenshots for the rest of us. Looking pretty sharp there, Capcom. Thanks for taking the time to actually push the limits of the hardware.

Newly released in the UK
The Star Wars saga will continue in Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, a videogame developed by LucasArts, which casts players as Darth Vader's "Secret Apprentice" and promises to unveil new revelations about the Star Wars galaxy. The expansive story, created under direction from George Lucas, is set during the largely unexplored era between Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. In it, players will assist the iconic villain in his quest to rid the universe of Jedi - and face decisions that could change the course of their destiny.
As its name implies, The Force Unleashed completely re-imagines the scope and scale of the Force. The Wii version will not only give you a solid story-line developed by LucasArts involving the Darth Vader's secret apprentice, but you'll experience a new style of gameplay only the Wii can offer. With the Wiimote and Nunchuk you'll be able to battle your way through your enemies utilizing your Lightsaber attacks and Force powers. Not only can you experience this new control system in story mode, but you can also try your Jedi skills against a friend in the Wii, "Battle Mode." Joining the Dark Side doesn't seem like such a bad idea after all.

over at Mupen64Plus forums Tillin9 posted this
Howdy, as part of the license audit for Mupen64Plus, we're trying to track down Orkin, the original glN64 author. So far our attempts have not been successful.
Since glN64's code has no copyright or licensing, we can't include it with Mupen64Plus when we get included in the offical Debian / Ubuntu repositories and might have to remove the plugin from our source tree.
Considering glN64 is one of our most flexible video plugins, and currently the only one working under OSX, we don't really want to remove it. Hence, if anyone on the forums has another way to contact Orkin, we'd really appreciate your help in getting in touch with him.
Thanks in advance.

In an interview with Nintendo Power, Rockstar Games cofounder Dan Houser explained why the company decided to to move the Grand Theft Auto series to the DS rather than the Wii. He states that “it didn’t really feel natural” to Rockstar and that “the DS felt like it had a lot of interesting challenges that would be totally different” than what the company has previously done.
Full question/answer below:
Q: It seems like a more natural progression for the series to move to Wii rather than the DS. Is there any reason why you didn’t take it there first?
A: It didn’t feel natural to us, I guess. It really was that the DS felt like it had a lot of interesting challenges that would be totally different from what we’d done in the past. The stylus and the chance to use minigames in that way was really interesting and exciting to us, and we thought we could integrate seamlessly between those two modes. And it would be the chance to make something really good on a handheld with our handheld-focused team. That was really why we went that way. We haven’t really done any concrete, major thinking about the Wii, one way or another. They’re sort of separate issues.

Steve Corey has posted some more news about his port of Doom for the Wii:
I'm going to release WiiDoom 0.3 this weekend. Here's the list of changes:
Saving/Loading works (using Nintendo-style save slots)
Automap works (panning, zooming, and follow mode)
Boot.dol distributed instead of Boot.elf (much smaller file)
That's all..... OH WAIT! I just remembered, I was about to call it a day, until Scramble suggested I a way of adding preliminary support for PWADs. I tried it, and it worked. Here's the deatils:
One PWAD file is supported at a time. It MUST be named pwad.wad, and it MUST be placed in the "prboom" directory on the SD card. If you do that, it will be loaded. Like I said, this is preliminary support, until I get a full WAD selection screen for IWADs and PWADs.
BIG thanks to Scramble for suggesting this!

News/release from jsds
http://therosaryds.googlecode.com
WHAT'S NEW: - Scripture text for the mysteries.
- New font for Scripture text.
- Formatted 'What is the Rosary' text.
- Added version number to credits.
Thanks everyone for the previous interest and feedback. This will probably be the last critical upgrade to the application, however, I will still take issue submissions on the development website.
Also, if anyone has more input or thoughts about Issue 3 ('Not working for DSTT'), I would greatly appreciate it.
http://code.google.com/p/therosaryds/issues/list
What is the Rosary?
The Rosary is made up of twenty "mysteries" (significant events or moments in the life of Jesus and Mary), which, following the Apostolic Letter Rosarium Virginis Mariae, are grouped into four series. The Rosary is made of beads which represent which prayer is to be recited. Normally, the person saying the rosary holds on to the current bead in which they are reciting.
The first of the four mysteries contains joyful mysteries (recited on Mondays and Saturdays); the second, the mysteries of light (Thursdays); the third, the sorrowful mysteries (Tuesdays and Fridays); and the fourth, the glorious mysteries (Wednesdays and Sundays).
"This indication is not intended to limit a rightful freedom in personal and community prayer, where account needs to be taken of spiritual and pastoral needs and of the occurrence of particular liturgical celebrations which might call for suitable adaptations." (Rosarium Virginis Mariae, 38).

Im sure many or all of you know by now that Waninkokos "Back Up Loader" or plainly known as the Piracy Loader was leaked and found its way to GBA Temp who then hosted the download and spread the news to every major tech and piracy site going, shortly after more shall i say hack sites wiinewz and tehskeen also posted the release (although to be fair becuase of attacks on tehskeen i never saw the download there), later in the day GBAtemp took the loader down but other questionable sites such as wiinewz still have the download up, now the funny thing is, you see comments on the very forums who now host the loader calling GBAtemp but in effect they are now as bad or worse for keeping the files on their servers.
Now some more fallout has occured it seems that tehskeen had had its site compromised many times and whilst i dislike anyone who attacks sites i can see why this may be happening, you see Brakken although i dont know him personally takes it upon himself to attack other sites with name calling and whilst i do agree on some sites eventually you will upset the wrong types ie some clever basts who can hack anything and trust me most sites are very hackable (look at how many times we have been hacked). Anyway back to the plot, i was reading on tehskeen forums before they get wiped again that there seems to be some finger pointing that Brakken himself leaked it, i doubt this very much but who did leak it ?, was the leaker in disguise and gave the carrot to gbatemp knowing they would post it. Stranger things happen in the world and remember that anyone is capable of anything.
But anyway as ive read from many disgruntled Homebrew fans across the many forums of the Wii Scene and i repeat what they say, Lets get back to real Homebrew not piracy.
Oh one final thing i was accused and named with others (to whom i dont like either) of taking down the site brakken.net, now just to make things clear, one i have a nice real life and two i dont do things like that, now unless you have proof its very stupid to make accusations and then read in a forum that people are going to hack my site, to those people make sure you know who it is before taking action oh and posting on the internet that your going to do it gives nice evidence.
ok mini rant over

In just a few weeks, we can almost guarantee that the wires will be filled with one story again: Wii shortages. It should come as no surprise—Nintendo has redistributed hardware/games like Wii Fit to Europe and elsewhere to avoid the weak dollar. And at the same time, the Wii is still the most sought-after console today.
Yet, in my 3 months since moving, I've unpacked every part of my home theater system except for the Wii. And I can't say I miss it. So to those of you with Wiis in the audience, I want to know...

Alright! Who wants to see a dude with his pants down around his ankles hula-hooping on Wii Fit?! Wow, you guys are gonna tear your rotator cuffs waving your arms like that. Here's "Gio," the tongue-wagging boyfriend who "secretly" taped Wii Fit Girl Lauren Bernat back in June, creating a YouTube (but not viral marketing, insisted Nintendo) sensation. Lauren got revenge a week ago on the Tyra Banks Show, convincing her sweetums to drop trow and rotate his ass on national syndicated TV. You go, girl.

Okachobi has ported Paradroid to the Nintendo Wii, heres the release details:
Description
A version of SDL Paradroid compiled for the Wii to fill the void in the U.S., where the virtual console lacks C64 games. This version is created from the GPL'ed source code from SDL Paradroid and uses the same data files. The source will be released in accordance with its original GPL license as soon as I get to a stable version. I had considered abandoning the project because of the virtual console version, but then realized its not available in the U.S., and noticed that there are at least 2 PC remakes of Paradroid and several for mobile platforms. So if you like Paradroid and live where it is available, support the virtual console by purchasing it. Otherwise, wait a little while and give this port a try.
This version is in no way derived from the version available on the Wii Virtual Console in Europe. All code and graphics are from the freely-available SDL Paradroid released in 2002 under the GPL license. It has simply been patched in various ways to be compatible with the Wii Homebrew SDL library.
Status (in detail)
9/20 - Packaged preview distribution - try at your own risk
Download available for testing purposes
Extract zip to your apps/ directory on sdcard for Homebrew Channel launching
beware- it logs to the SDCARD under the /apps/Paradroid/Data directory/*.log - this file can grow large in time
Still no sound - and little memory available to load sound
Modified original to support some surfaces as 8bpp to save memory
planning to use late-loading of surfaces based on need to reduce overall usage
Temporarily eliminated screen-flash during disruptor fire to save memory
Converted some graphics to 8bpp to use less surface memory
Freed splash screen after use
Re-enabled 32bpp main surfaces now that some memory is available
Top-down map view doesn't work from computer consoles due to memory constraints
Key mapping won't work - don't bother trying it- just use wii-mote turned sideways
D-PAD moves droid, 2 fires, 1 toggles console, holding 2 while moving initiates transfer mode, home button exits
Explosion graphics don't seem to be working quite right
Droids get stuck a lot (not sure if this was an issue in original SDL Paradroid)
There appear to be bugs related to the damage processing
'Dead' levels (cleared levels) don't appear to switch to the darkened tileset
May still crash due to lack of memory and possible leaks
display code needs rewritten so as not to allocate a 4 meg offscreen map...
looking for help in trimming memory usage, email me if anyone is interested in assisting
thinking about getting a USB Gecko thingy to do some real debugging.
Elevator side view fixed (byte order issue while reading data file)

It seems like we these "health researchers using Wii in study" stories about once a month but, anyway, Oxford University, last I heard, was a pretty good school. And they're looking at the Wii as a means to help stroke patients relearn simple tasks.
The study is a little more subtle than other research involving the Wii (training surgeons, for example) — the motion sensors might be useful for monitoring patients' progress in physiotherapy. Apparently, one of the biggest challenges patients face is constant discouragement from not being able to see, or really understand, the progress they're making. The motion sensors can also tailor exercises to a patient's range of motion.

I'm very proud to be able to announce the release of my very first original game for the SNES. N-Warp Daisakusen is a deathmatch minigame for eight human players. Connect two Multitaps and eight joypads to your SNES, invite some friends and compete for the first place by beating and kicking the shit out of the other players. This game is available for download completely free of charge.
My development goal for this game was to create a simplistic fighter that could be played with as many simultaneous players as possible on the SNES and be learned and mastered within seconds by everyone. The awesome music was composed by maf, who is one of my favorite chiptune musicians. I'm very thankful he allowed me to use his tunes in my game. It was developed to commemorate the N-Warp 2008 Nintendo gaming convention held in Meschede, Germany. It was meant to be some sort of surprise competition where everybody could jump right into the battle without prior experience. Development time was a little over 4 weeks. This game is based on my WIP SNES game engine and was coded from scratch in 65816 Assembler.
You can check it out here: http://gra.dforce3000.de/

Arikado has released a new homebrew game for the Nintendo Wii:
Wiibreaker is a simple brickbreaker game I made because my artist for Wii Shooting Gallery, Azza123 said there were no brickbreaker games out for Wii homebrew. Thus, I have created Wiibreaker. In total, this first release took about two weekends to write. Work is further postponed on this game until the completion of Wii Shooting Gallery.
Once the ball falls below the screen 3 times, you lose.
Controls
LEFT and RIGHT or UP and DOWN on the wiimote to move the paddle.
HOME: Return to the menu or return to the loader from the menu
Installation
Extract the .zip directly to the inside of your apps folder
THIS GAME IS ONLY COMPATIBLE WITH THE WIIMOTE, HOMEBREW CAHNNEL, AND FRONT SANDISK LOADER!!!
Version History
0.1 - First private and public release.
Design Document
I have included a design document in the .zip just for fun. It has everything that I would like to be included in the final release.
About the source
The source code to this game is available on request. Request it by e-mailing me: castlevania7689@yahoo.com
This is done to stop clones of my game from spawning all over the internet.
Also of note; the source code is powered by libwiisprite.
Special Thanks
Thanks to Aaron (Azza123) who gave me the idea for Wiibreaker.
Thanks to the people running the homebrew browser, thus allowing more people to easily run my software.
Thanks to Chaosteil for developing the libwiisprite library.
Thanks to Team Twiizers for originally hacking the Wii.
Thank you to everyone who has downloaded my other application and now Wiibreaker as well. It's an amazing feeling to have; Knowing that people enjoy using your software.
Final Thoughts
Please share questions comments and ideas with me at: castlevania7689@yahoo.com

MTO has a new puzzler on the way for the Japanese version of WiiWare, and one look at the screens should send your cuteness alert wailing.
Titled Minna da Asobou Koinu de Kururin (roughly, Play Together: Kururin as Puppies), this falling blocks puzzler has players select their choice of puppy for a battle on the vertical grid. Pieces consisting of colored puppies fall from the top of the screen, and it's your job to line up like colors. Connect your growing groups of dogs to a like-colored dog-house, and the dogs will all go into the dog house and be cleared from the field.
Kururin offers players a few special moves, which should make multiplayer battles enjoyable. Up to four can compete in local split screen matches. The game does have Wi-Fi Connection support, but only for national rankings.
Japanese Wii owners can look for this latest WiiWare puzzler on October 7 at 500 WiiPoints.

Despite its rigorous, retro stylings and old-fashioned platforming, not everything in Mega Man 9 is rooted in the past -- in fact, not every thing is in Mega Man 9. Nintendo Wii Fanboy peered into the downloadable game's online instruction manual (they're really terrible at it, you see) and discovered what appears to be a list of all the game's planned downloadable content, including dates and prices.
There are five pieces in total, with the first two modes, namely "Proto Man Mode" and "Endless Attack," scheduled to arrive on October 6th or 200 Wii Points and 300 Wii Points, respectively. The plans also reveal "Hero Mode," "Special Stage" and "Superhero Mode" due on October 20th.

A pseudo-classic Genesis sidescroller debuts on Virtual Console today, as well as an NES sports favorite ... but really, you're playing Mega Man 9 right now. We know. You're not even reading this, are you?
Super Dodge Ball (NES, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points): Without adding too much innuendo, the gameplay is pretty self-explanatory. You dodge balls.
Vectorman (Sega Genesis, 1 player, 800 Wii Points): While he never became as popular as Mega Man, this robot fought without a torso, and best of all, could shoot upwards.

Newly released today:
description
“Wandering souls, the time for salvation has come.” the strange man declared to the crowd in the dead of the night. And all who have attended this meeting disappeared.
A mass disappearance of people is prompting action from the death angel academy as the teacher has assigned the task of investigating the case to his students. However, upon investigating the incident, Mako and her friends came upon white, masked creatures and agents who have been gathering souls.
Predators usually devour souls they have gathered, but these agents who called themselves hatchers of the demon's egg are gathering them for unknown purposes. Soon, our beloved cast realized that the scheme behind the agents and the appearance of the white masks are far more dangerous than any other assignments the academy has ever set for them.

Don't know if anyone else picked up on this, but D3's simple series is finally coming to the Wii. The first in the series is The Table Game, which isn't too exciting, but at least it's being developed by recent Samurai Shodown developer Yuki Enterprise. Next comes The Party Game, developed by Tamsoft. I think this was The Inevitable Cash-In, and in fact I'm surprised it took so long to get up and running!

The Nintendo DS Emulator for WIndows has seen a new beta release, heres whats new:
General/Core:
- Added gfx3d module which emulates the whole GE as part of the core emu. Moved the windows/cocoa OGLRender to the
emu core and replace ogl_collector. Now every platform shares the same 3d code. [zeromus]
- Add in some crude interpolation in the SPU (conditionally compiled) so that I can bear to listen to it. [zeromus]
- Change savestate code to support loosely bound chunks and more easily other parts of the emu (GE, GPU).
The savestate format is changed, but from now on it is in principle more resilient (it will continue to break though) [zeromus]
- Remove 16MB of WRAM at 0x01****** from arm9. Maped to unusued instead. What was this? [zeromus]
- Add early code for OSD [CrazyMax]
Windows port:
- Added a bunch of crazy templates to the cpu and mmu which speed up a the emu little by optimizing variable accesses [zeromus]
- Add an arm9 cpu load average calculator [zeromus]
? Fix a bug in texture transformation mode 1 [zeromus]
- Fix the buggy auto frameskip logic which made the emu slow to a crawl. Now it runs fast! [zeromus]
- Fix resizing, rotate & aspect ration of main window. Add save window position and parameters [CrazyMax]
- Rewrite all debug tools (autoupdate work now) [CrazyMax]

dciso posted this info:
The Wii Recovery Dongle news has been out for some time now. I have recently recieved some of these to play around with thanks to bushing. As you have read on HackMii these dongles can be used to fix certain types of bricks. But other than the Youtube video not much has been seen of this device so with the permission of marcan & bushing I bring to you some of the first official pics of the device.
Quote:

- If you can autoboot ANY disc and your problem is not a bad system menu (that is, reinstalling the system menu won’t fix it) then this probably won’t help. If your problem can be fixed (which it probably can), you won’t need this at all.
- This SHOULD let you fix the worst banner bricks (where you screw up the main arc and get a freeze on the warning screen, not after it), but ONLY if you have 3.2 or earlier, or 3.3 and the Twilight Hack (beta1) already installed, and in both cases you’ll need a modchip.
- This SHOULD let you fix any semibricks-turned-bricks (Opera 404 error on boot) but you’ll have to wait until a retail game comes out with a newer version if you don’t have a modchip or if you have 3.3 or newer.
- In general, IF you can see anything on the screen, AND you have a system menu earlier than 3.3, AND your system menu main binary (dol) and IOS are (mostly) fine (system menu data corruption is okay), AND you have a modchip, AND your hardware is fine, THEN you can probably fix it with this.
Those who have Bricked consoles this could be the killer device for you. More news as we get it
thanks to malloc for the tip.

TOMY Corporation and D3Publisher, publishers of interactive entertainment software, have announced that Naruto: Path of the Ninja 2 for the Nintendo DS has gone gold and will be shipping to stores on October 14th. The sequel to the only Naruto role-playing game available in North America, Path of the Ninja 2 gives players a chance to defend the Hidden Leaf Village as 30 of the most powerful ninja in the Naruto universe through a completely original storyline.
"There has been a huge progression between the original RPG title on the DS and Path of the Ninja 2," said Laura Yoshioka, director of consumer software at TOMY Corporation. "Between the expanded character list, the Wi-Fi battle system, and the new squad-building options, this is an adventure that should appeal to the inner ninja of players everywhere."
With 30 characters to choose from, including favorites like Naruto, Sasuke, and Rock Lee, plus an all-new Squad Leader and Ninja Tag systems, there have never been more ways to create the perfect ninja squad. The improved and intuitive battle system will make it easy for even the newest fighters to get into the combat, using the Touch Screen to unleash devastating melee and jutsu attacks, while the Wi-Fi multiplayer feature will offer aspiring ninja the chance to take on challengers from around the world. Based on VIZ Media's hit animated series, Naruto: Path of the Ninja 2 is scheduled to ship to retail stores on October 14th, and is rated "E10+" (everyone 10 and older).

News/release from Ollipolli:
i have changed a few things, I hope they work as expected. Anyway, I think it time to call it v0.1.
Notable changes:
The program now expects a folder called dswiki in the root directory. All dump files should be moved into it (suggested by Sphere).
I exchanged the main 6x12px Terminus font with a slightly higher font from the UCS-fonts collection. This will allow better typography (bold,italic) in future releases.
The font is an real frankenstein's monster (patches from very different sources ), but now it displays a glyph for nearly all unicode characters. Credits will be given at a later time, when I consider it stable.
Pressing Select brings you back to the selection of the wiki (also suggested by Sphere).
The indexer v1.0.1 ( http://dswiki.googlecode.com/files/d...exer-1.0.1.zip ) is now treating complete dumps (multiple revision of an article, some wiki dumps from wikia.com are only available in this flavour) in the correct way, by taking the last revision instead of the first (discovered by darkman90).
Have Fun!
Ciao

News from Divineo USA:
This is an attachment for the PulseVU 2 or PulseVU 2X which adds up to an additional 3Amps* of power for controlling multiple** LEDs. Still not enough power?? Add more Power Extenders! As long as the power supply (or supplies) can handle the power, you can keep adding Extenders to connect LEDs to the PulseVU 2 lineup.
*The amount of current that can be supplied is also limited by your power supply. Please check the rating on your PSU to make sure it can handle the amount of LEDs you plan to use.
**3Amps of 20mA LEDs, wired in parallel, equals 150 LEDs. When wired in series, you can add even more LEDs.

We've called Wii MotionPlus "the thing that makes the WiiMote work the way it always should have" but there's at least one developer who doesn't care for that alternate history time line. Nick Hagger, the producer of Wii's de Blob, said he's worried the addition will overcomplicate things for the Wii's base, as developers move towards more gestural control schemes.
"While it's definitely intellectually stimulating from a development perspective to play with those ideas - and I think it does appeal to a set of gamers out there - I think the majority of people that play on the Wii want something very simple that they can just immediately get their heads around," Hagger said.
We'd like to think that there's room for both gamers who want more gestural controls and those who want to keep flicking their wrists to pretend they're tipping cows, or whatever's going on over in Wiiville these days. What about you?

Last week, Sega opened up a teaser site for a mysterious new RPG that was being produced by Rieko Kodama of Phantasy Star fame, directed by Kazuya Niinou of Ertain Odyssey fame, and would feature music from Yuzo Koshiro of Streets of Rage fame. Famitsu managed to unearth proper details on the game, including a name and first gameplay information.
Titled 7th Dragon, this new fantasy RPG is set in the world of Eden, a world that is ruled in large part by seven dragons and their massive armies of dragon minions. The lands that are ruled by the dragons grow a special flower which sucks the life out of the land. When the whole of the planet is covered in these flowers, mankind will become extinct. The only hope for survival for mankind is to hunt down and defeat the dragons.
7th Dragon combines overhead exploration with party-based battles. During the overhead sequences, you travel through the land, visiting different continents, islands and republics. You move about on an overhead 2D map that's shown on the top screen. Meanwhile, the bottom screens houses a world map that's updated in real time to show how much of the world is controlled by dragons and how much by humans.
Battles take place from a side perspective, and feature big-headed version's of the game's characters engaging in party-based fights against large dragon foes. Your party consists of four members, but aside from that details on the battle system are a bit lacking at the moment.
Players will be able to freely create their own characters. You can select from a variety of character types, including fighter, mage, rogue, knight, samurai, healer, and princess (princess?). It also appears that you can freely select skills when creating your party members.
7th Dragon will see its full unveil at the official 7th Dragon website on the 26th. Sega will be hosting a teaser movie on that day, so those who are interested in this latest in fantasy RPG gaming should be sure and check back.

Steve Corey posts some news on what to expect in the next release of Wii Doom:
We're primarily working on bug fixes for the next release, and will try to enable music, also. Due to the way Doom writes all music MIDIs to the sd card before playing them, music will be disabled by default, and you'll have to enable it (somehow).

Minoru performs Triple Triad "in beta version, adapted from the famous card game in Final Fantasy VIII.
Quote:
Description:
For those not familiar, it is a card game that is played on a 3x3 tray with a hand of five cards. Each card has four values: one for each side. The players pose a card each turn, and if the value of the card is raised above the value of an adjacent card, he returned this card. The player who has returned more cards wins the game and take one or more cards to his opponent. There are other rules that are adding chilli parties Azn
I will not dwell on the rules, there are dozens of sites explain better than I Language
Only small change: the rule Combo is separated identical rules and Plus (we can play without Same Combo - but not the reverse ...) which increases the possible combinations of rules.
The set includes a fashion adventure (solo) to play against several opponents, each with different rules, and a wireless mode to play with friends Smiley
Backups are automatic and the 33 rare cards are never permanently lost! Again defy the opponent that you took to try to recover, even after turning off the DS! You can see in the Collection menu which has the rare cards you've lost.

The Resident Evil series must be heading for a record for the number of remakes. Add another to the list as Capcom reveals plans to bring the GameCube remake of the original Resident Evil to Wii.
Obviously support for the Wii Remote and it's wavy, pointy malarkey will be added, but no other enhancements were revealed in the Famitsu report, according to translations around the web.
It will also feature support for a GameCube pad, but you're going to play it like that you might as well get a used copy of the GC version for 20p and play that on your Wii instead.
The re-re-release (it's getting silly now) is currently only due for Japan, apparently set for a Christmas day release - nothing like some festive zombie shooting.

Nintendo have granted the Wii version of Animal Crossing a European release date, and a name change that brings it line with its Australian counterpart.
Previously sporting the suffix City Folk, the newly monikered Animal Crossing: Let's Go to the City is scheduled to release across Europe in December, meaning it comes soon after the US release of November 16 – a small delay in light of the two year wait that European gamers had to endure for the GameCube version.
Melding together elements of the DS and GameCube iterations while adding some innovations of its own, Animal Crossing: Let's Go to the City is looking like one of the most solid propositions for the Wii this Christmas. Read more in our most recent preview, or brush up on your history with our overview of the series.

It was only a matter of time before Rockstar's Nintendo DS offering Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars fell under the scrutiny of international anti-everything groups, and what better place to start than with the "ever reputable" UK news stable, The Sun, where the news of GTA DS's drug selling mini-game isn't going over so well.
Darren Gold of charity Drugsline said: “Anything using drug-dealing as entertainment is sending out the wrong message. “Glamorisation doesn’t help our work trying to educate kids of the dangers of substance misuse.”
See? Now that's two things parents should be doing but don't in one statement - educating their children about drugs and keeping them from playing mature video games. I do like the little addition that The Sun reporter slipped in at the end though. "Experts predict the final edition is unlikely to feature explicit criminality. " "Experts" have apparently never played a Grand Theft Auto title.

Mixed E3 impressions or not, Wii Music is coming out this October. And boy oh boy are Nintendo president Satoru Iwata and resident genius Shigeru Miyamoto excited. Thrilled, actually. In a "Creator's Voice" conversation posted on the game's official site, Miyamoto says, "I haven't really felt the happiness from making other games that I've had felt making Wii Music... I wasn't this excited while making Super Mario Bros."

Cooking Mama is a hit. Not just the gamer, either; Mama herself is a bonafide gaming starlet. So it's with little surprise that we hear Majesco are taking the short-tempered lass out of the kitchen and throwing her in the garden for another Mama series, with Gardening Mama due for release on the DS at the end of the year (in Japan, at any rate). Mama's fiery temper was a perfect fit for the kitchen in these Gordon Ramsey-heavy times, but gardening's always been a more relaxing pursuit. Wonder how she's going to adjust.

Worried that GTA: Chinatown Wars was going to be a watered-down GTA experience? As in, toned down for the kids? No need to worry about that, as it's been revealed that not only do Rockstar have Nintendo's blessing to pitch the game at adults ("They didn’t want us to make a GTA for kids, and we weren’t interested in making a game we wouldn’t normally make), but that the game will let the player buy and sell prohibited narcotics. In a drug-dealing minigame. There's six drugs on offer, all of them real drugs, so if you're one of those strange, insecure types who like to get super-defensive in advance of sensationalist tabloid headlines, now's the time to start ensuring your hackles are raised.

News from Nuke:
Whats new:
1. No copy flag bit in saves now removed when copying no copy flag save games.
In previous version you could copy no copy saves but it left the no copy flag bit in the save so unless you used a Hex editor you couldn't copy the save game back to your Wii. Now this bit is removed when you copy the save over. Thanks Kenobi for this patch.
You need the rebooter to copy no copy saves to SD card, but of course you can copy them back without rebooter loaded just like any other standard save.
Many thanks,
Nuke

Nintendo have granted the Wii version of Animal Crossing a European release date, and a name change that brings it line with its Australian counterpart.
Previously sporting the suffix City Folk, the newly monikered Animal Crossing: Let's Go to the City is scheduled to release across Europe in December, meaning it comes soon after the US release of November 16 – a small delay in light of the two year wait that European gamers had to endure for the GameCube version.
Melding together elements of the DS and GameCube iterations while adding some innovations of its own, Animal Crossing: Let's Go to the City is looking like one of the most solid propositions for the Wii this Christmas. Read more in our most recent preview, or brush up on your history with our overview of the series.

Konami has lifted the lid on details of the Wii version of Pro Evolution Soccer, including support for the classic controller and a number of gameplay enhancements. Speaking at the PES European Finals in Rome, producer Akiyoshi 'Greyhound' Chosogabe revealed that the new game – which will be released in spring 2009 - will enable players to play the game using a conventional PES control scheme, either with a classic controller or by holding the Wii remote on its side and using the D-pad to control an individual player.
Greyhound explained that traditional controls were "deliberately left out last year to introduce the new concept", which he believes was successful in 2008's iteration of the game, but now he wanted players to experience the depth and variety offered by a classic controller. Konami then showed off the new controls during a brief demonstration, with a Man United-Barcelona clash playing out much like it would if it was running on PlayStation or Xbox.
However, Greyhound was keen to stress that the ground-breaking controls from last year's game were still very much present and that they too have been enhanced. Firstly, the defence system has been given an overhaul and while the Z button still makes your player close in for the tackle, you also control your entire defensive line using the Nunchuk's stick, moving up and down to block potential attacks.
The shooting system appears better too, with players given more control over where they place their shot. Much like before a quick shake of the Nunchuk ping off a shot, but now it's possible to pinpoint the corner of the goal you're aiming for, by holding B and using the pointer to pick a spot. However, he was keen to stress that wouldn't simply result in more goals each game, because players also have more direct control over their keepers, positioning them manually during free-kicks.
While these enhancements are certainly welcome, perhaps the biggest announcement was that PES Wii will feature a unique co-op mode that supports both control systems, with one player using last year's set-up to control the overall team and their mate using the classic controller to highlight induvudual players. During a teaser video we were shown how it works in practice, with one player knocking the ball around the midfield, using the Wii remote to knock the ball into space, while at the same time their buddy took control of a striker and made a run through the defence, manually latching onto a through ball and slotting it neatly in the net. Unfortunately we didn't get the chance to go hands-on with the new system – we're hoping that opportunity crops up tomorrow – it certainly looks promising, and adds a new level of depth to what was already one of the most authentic football experiences we've seen.
In addition to the new gameplay enhancements a handful of new modes were teased too. Champions Road has been revamped and now includes a Mii training facility, although Greyhound refused to provide any more details on what exactly it will be, saying only "an announcement will be made in the near future." What was confirmed is the inclusion of Master League, so PES pros can create their own team and take them from wannabes to winners. The edit mode will be more exhaustive too, with players able to make pretty much any change they want, plus the WiFi mode will include the option to search for players of a similar skill as well as the existing Friends and Free match options.
More details of the Mii training facility are due soon.
Shingo 'Seabass' Takatsuka, producer of the next-gen game, also spoke briefly at the event, mentioning the inclusion of the Champions League in all versions of the game including Wii, plus the new manual select mode that gives players complete freedom over who their control and where they play them. But while he said little – he was literally on-stage for little more than a couple of minutes - we're interviewing the man behind Pro Evo tomorrow, so if you want to know more be sure to head back then.

When powered on, your Wii displays nothing but an error message, or nothing at all? We may have just the solution for your problem. There's a good chance a nifty little piece of hardware can allow you to fix your system. We call it SaveMii.
Most “bricks” are the result of poor error checking or bugs in the Wii's System Menu. For example, if you have installed a system update off a wrong region's disk, the System Menu will only display an “Opera” error message and halt without running disks anymore. SaveMii will let you break out of this condition.
SaveMii allows to skip most of the System Menu startup process, especially the part that fails and halts the boot process. Instead, it causes the Wii to directly run software off a disk. Depending on the Wii's system version, and whether your Wii has a modchip installed, this allows you to either run a system update off a legit Wii disk, or a custom-made disk containing updates or homebrew tools.
Introducing SaveMii
SaveMii is a small dongle that is plugged into a Wii's Gamecube memory card slot. It mimicks a test interface that is believed to be used in Nintendo's own facilities (dubbed “Waikiki” by Nintendo).
When the System Menu is started and such a device is found, much of the System Menu's code is skipped. Instead, the System Menu checks the validity of the disk, runs an update from the inserted disk if present, and then tries to start a diagnostic – also known “autoboot” – disk.
This will allow updates from legit Wii disks to fix the system data. Or, if the Wii's system hasn't been updated to version 3.3 yet and is equipped with a modchip, even run custom-made disks containing updates or homebrew tools to modify the system.

A long, long time ago, there was a small village called Orange, located in Marl Kingdom. And in this town lived a little girl and her grandfather. The girl's name was Cornet. Cornet also had a strange little friend. This friend was a puppet, blessed with a soul like any human. The puppet's name was Kururu. The people of Orange always thought Cornet was odd for spending all her time with a puppet, but they always treated her nicely. This is because everyone loved her bright, smiling face. Part of Cornet's daily routine was to take a walk through the forest with Kururu. And this went on without a problem. Until one day...

Okachobi has updated the port of Paradroid to the Nintendo Wii, heres whats new:
A version of SDL Paradroid compiled for the Wii to fill the void in the U.S., where the virtual console lacks C64 games. This version is created from the GPL'ed source code from SDL Paradroid and uses the same data files. The source will be released in accordance with its original GPL license as soon as I get to a stable version. I had considered abandoning the project because of the virtual console version, but then realized its not available in the U.S., and noticed that there are at least 2 PC remakes of Paradroid and several for mobile platforms. So if you like Paradroid and live where it is available, support the virtual console by purchasing it. Otherwise, wait a little while and give this port a try.
This version is in no way derived from the version available on the Wii Virtual Console in Europe. All code and graphics are from the freely-available SDL Paradroid released in 2002 under the GPL license. It has simply been patched in various ways to be compatible with the Wii Homebrew SDL library.
Status (in detail)
9/25 - Updated preview (alpha) release
Fixed
Explosion graphics now work (libFAT issue with long filenames)
Memory usage significantly reduced
Performance improved considerably
Frame rendering code changes
Level properly dims after cleared (also libFAT-related)
More logging added (logfile may grow faster as a result)
Distribution zip size reduced
Known Issues
Sound disabled purposely - will start working on it soon
Top down map on consoles not functioning yet
Red/Yellow/Green Alerts not properly resetting- points continuously increase after Red Alert
Collisions seem wonky - droids get stuck - need to check if I introduced this bug
Impossible to input scoreboard entries
Scoreboard file apparently has byte order issue

With Inazuma Eleven 2's announcement earlier this week as a DS title, there was some concern that the previously announced console entry in the Level-5 soccer series, Inazuma Eleven Break, had been canceled. That's not the case. Today, at a press conference in Tokyo, Level-5 debuted first footage of Break, and shared a few first details.
Break appears to be a console remake of the original Inazuma Eleven rather than a totally new title. The game features new systems, including a new control scheme that takes the place of the original's stylus-heavy controls. Level-5 is also promising a storyline that's been greatly powered up over that of the original.
The game also runs in full 3D now, as you can see for yourself in the first screens that Level-5 handed out.
Unfortunately, Level-5 would not confirm a console for the game, so you're going to have to speculate for yourself based off the screens.
Inazuma Eleven Break is currently listed with a TBA release date for Japan. As for markets other than Japan, we should probably wait for the original to be released first.

Spuzkaizer performs an update of its Shoot Them Up "Touhou DS" ready for a maniac shooter?
I've added a lot more stuff since the last release. The game part is now 90% working; you can script characters, enemies and bosses. Refer to the manual for a short tutorial and more info about the available commands. Most of the things left are non-critical or don't even influence the gameplay at all: score, homing shots, continues, boss explosion is a bit, erm, underwhelming. The one thing that really is pretty important is levels. There's only one level and it never ends -- I'll add multiple level support in the next version.

Wii in Japan is getting a new Virtual Console in October, and it's a rare one. The NEC SuperGrafx, a beefed-up PC-Engine (TurboGrafx-16 here in the States), saw a whopping five games released for it before NEC cut its losses.
You can still get your hands on one via eBay or by scouring Tokyo's second-hand game market (we found this one, new-in-box, for about $250 at the Akihabara Super Potato). Thankfully, Wii owners won't have to embark on a treasure hunt for a SuperGrafx or its games, the first of which to appear on VC is the console's launch title, a superb port of Capcom's Daimakaimura (Ghouls n' Ghosts).
Nintendo hasn't announced when (or if) this rare treat will reach US Wiis, but, given the fact that we're already seeing NEC console imports on the Shop Channel, it should only be a matter of time.

Whoa, whoa -- what's this? A fresh report from Nikkei is pretty confidently talking about a new Nintendo DS destined to hit "within the year," though we aren't claiming to be full-fledged believers just yet. To be fair, this isn't the first we've heard of such a beast, though the translated description is pretty far out there. For instance, the new model will reportedly boast a camera that will be used heavily for games and offer a stronger wireless signal. Even crazier is the bit about "competing with cellular phones" and "exceeding the frame of the game industry." The article mentions that the device will eventually ship for ￥20,000 ($189) or less, though it doesn't say what kind of sauce the author hit before writing commenced.

News last night that Nintendo plans to release a new model of it's unbelievably popular DS wasn't that surprising. But what was surprising is that a company whose beliefs seems so firmly rooted in attracting the broader, less tech-savvy general audience would decide to add music playback and picture taking to one of its core machines.
What we still don't know is if this is a Japan-only device or one headed for world release, something I suspect we'll find out with the upcoming Nintendo press conferences. Either way it seems that Nintendo is dipping it's toe into the waters currently inhabited by the Playstation Portable and iPhone. For years Sony and Nintendo have both argued, on some level, that the PSP and DS don't really compete because the machines approach gaming in such different ways. Now it seems that if this new media DS gets off the ground, that won't be as true.

Sad to say another back up loader has surfaced on the Wii Scene and i reported on Nukes anger at his Gecko OS being used in it not realising it was another Back up loader, sadly the same old sites who post homebrew are posting the piracy again, what staggers me is a supposed Linux site posting it with a link and i thought linux sites were all anti piracy, nice to see that one site has took down the link and removed posts although deleting the matter in the first place would have been better.
Lets hope all the 2 bad releases and the releases that bricked peoples consoles dont put them and the awesome developers off from giving us so many toys to play with.
remember support homebrew not piracy.

Lazy1 just posted this over at GBAdev:
Soooo....
The project died for quite a while, but I managed to locate my source!
I was worried since I could not find it and my latest build had an "exploding hitler" feature.
For some reason I had it set where killing a guard would turn him into hitler and run the death sequence where he melts/explodes.
Luckily the source I found does not have this issue and seems to be working very well, even better news is that it is definitely possible to emulate the OPL2 chip in realtime on the Arm7!
The next build will have support for music and not require any external conversion tools!
I have also fixed the color issue so things no longer look off or washed out.
However, once I get it to a point where I'm satisfied there will be no more changes to that specific port.
Too many hacks were made and I have lost track.
Currently I'm looking into Wolf4SDL as a new porting possibility.
Keep an eye out though, hopefully soon all versions of wolf3d will be supported.
Or, at least the registered and shareware versions of wolf3d and spear of destiny.
great news for fans of FPS games on the DS

Well, that certainly didn't take long. Along with Wednesday's revelation that Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars would include a drug-dealing minigame came a potent tingling of our "controversy-sense" -- said tingle was justified Thursday by an article in the British tabloid The Sun, titled Fury Over Drug Deal Vid Game. In the article, Darren Gold, speaking on behalf of UK support group Drugsline, called out the title for its "glamorization" of drug-dealing and "substance misuse".
In related, breaking news, Rockstar may thoroughly enjoy the game-selling hype that arises from this kind of controversy. More at eleven!

News/release from Bassacegold
Well after a short month, I finally got around to polishing this app off and releasing it
Mario Paint Composer DS is an indirect remake of the music composer tool found in the Super Nintendo game “Mario Paint” with a few new adaptations which I added in from the PC version created by unFun Games ( http://www.unfungames.com/). Please note, I am not responsible for the pc version, these two programs merely share the same name and that is all. This is not a direct port of any version, it is completely coded by myself.
Features: These are new features continuing from the ones already in the snes version
-Saving and Loading of songs
-Sharp and Flat notes
-more lower ranged notes
-4 new note types
-4 notes per can be played at once rather then the 3 limit
-Longer songs
Feel free to check out the forums for songs to download, to share your own creations, report bugs or even to drop a suggestion you would like to see in the next version.
The forum can be found here: http://nds-help.com/mpcforum/

Retro game lovers, don't ever say Nintendo isn't looking out for you. Only months after hearing that the Wii's Virtual Console would be getting Sega Master System and Commodore 64 games, in flies word that at least one heralded SuperGrafx title is on its way, too. Granted, the Ghouls 'n Ghosts (or Daimakaimura, as it were) port is only slated for release in Japan at the moment, but we're keeping our increasingly less limber fingers crossed that it'll head to other parts of the world in short order. There's also no telling if any other titles from the console's library will be headed to the Wii, but given that we could count 'em all on two hands, we'd say chances are decently high.

More on the rumoured new ds from slashdot
Watch out Apple, here comes Nintendo. Nintendo plans to launch a new version of its popular DS portable gaming device with a camera and music player function, according to a report in the Sunday edition of The Nikkei Business Daily. The new version will have better wireless capability for connecting to the Internet and will cost under $189, the report said. It will be offered first in Japan, it said. The DS first went on sale in 2004, and a second version, called the DS Lite, debuted two years later in 2006. Both have sold extremely well, with worldwide sales of the DS products at 77.5 million units as of the end of June this year
What Would you like to see in a new DS, maybe nintendo will release a DS Micro ?

Before straddling a winged lizard and doing a nosedive, developer Factor 5 was the source of one of our favorite pastimes: the unrelenting obliteration of aliens, robots and the occasional Sasquatch. Our memory's a bit hazy when it comes to Super Turrican 2, so there may well have been a robotic alien Sasquatch in there somewhere.
Super Turrican 2 (SNES, 1 player, 800 Wii Points): Factor 5's destructive bullet dispensor arrives on the Virtual Console this week, challenging players to foil "the menacing hordes of ... The Machine," who may or may not be Galactus. Check out some videos after the break and become hypnotized by that spinning "2" in "Super Turrican 2." It's like, three dee and stuff!

God, this just keeps getting better. We thought that last week was the best example of a known quantity trying to sneak its creepy friend past the bouncer and into Club WiiWare, but it's been absolutely topped.
On the one hand, you have Bomberman Blast (Hudson Entertainment, 1-8 players, 1,000 Wii Points) all decked out in his finest suit. He's making eyes at the ladies and he just bought Cristal for everyone in the club. He's the superstar and he knows it.
Then we have Art Style: ORBIENT (Nintendo, 1 player, Rated E for Everyone, 600 Wii Points) which we can find practically nothing on. Seriously. GoNintendo has a single screen shot and Silicon Era thinks it's a Bit Generations game. And that's it. To continue the above analogy, Art Style: ORBIENT is the equivalent of the Little Rascals standing on each others shoulders in a trench coat, and insisting to the bouncer that they're "a real grownup who just wants to drink all the beer and kiss pretty ladies."
How do they make it inside? It's a mystery.

After Japan's mainstream newspaper Nikkei announced a new DS with a camera, music player and enhanced wireless functionality, Nintendo had to say something in response. To gaming magazine Famiitsu:
We are always developing new products. However, since nothing has been announced officially, we are unable to comment at this time. That's the most softly delivered "no comment" that I've ever seen. But take it as you will.

From the looks of it, the game will stay faithful to the 2D series. The game is being developed by the team who made Castlevanai: Portrait of Ruin, along with Koji Igarashi, the assistant director of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Knock yourself out with the movie below (and to the right a little).

After months and months of speculation and rumor from all corners of the internet and beyond, downloadable content for the Wii version of Rock Band 2 has been confirmed. USA Today reports that the functionality has indeed been confirmed, and with the release of Rock Band 2, Wii owners will finally be able to spend the massive amounts of cash Xbox 360 and PS3 owners have been spending for the past year.
While unannounced, MTV Games has confirmed that the upcoming Nintendo Wii version of ``Rock Band 2'' will offer the same online functionality — i.e. song downloads and Internet multiplayer modes — as the Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PS3 versions. The PS2 version, however, will not include online connectivity.
I suppose the Wii's online capabilities and potential have finally been fully realized. Oh happy day!
UPDATE: Harmonix has confirmed with us that the Wii version will support both DLC and online play, and there was much rejoicing.

Square Enix will be bringing Disgaea DS to Europe in spring 2009.
This squashed down instalment in the strategical role-playing series comes with a fancy Wi-Fi duel mode. There are loads of multiplayer options to tweak in there, plus the option to trade with friends.
Geo Cubes also make an appearance, and can enhance abilities, summon monsters or even attack enemies for that extra layer of tactical depth.
Disgaea DS was released in August over in the US, where critics have awarded decent marks to the game. It also follows on the back of Disgaea PSP, which just happened to be marvellous.
Head over to our Disgaea DS gallery for an idea of what to expect.

This allegedly leaked photo of new Nintendo DS screens has played a game of Google Translate telephone before making its way to Giz wearing red sox and green hair, but from what we can make from the source, the big difference in the updated display is a shift in screen size from 3 inches to 3.25 inches. It's still not a widescreen system like many of us would prefer, but then again, the alteration shouldn't mess with the aspect ratio of existing DS titles, either.

A new trailer's turned up for Strawdog Studios' Wii puzzler Geon, which debuted on Xbox Live Arcade last year.
The Wii version sports all of the content from the XBLA version plus four-player split-screen multiplayer, 16 new 'duel mode' grids and a ton of improvements based on review criticism.
It's definitely a notable release for Wii owners. Unless you've got an Xbox.
The latest trailer demonstrates the 'Bliss' powerball, which allows players to create three extra 'ghost' cubes that help collect pellets, which is the aim of the game.
Have a watch on the bottom right and you should be able to figure it out.

News from Retrohead
After a bit of a setback with my PC (vundo virus infection) and yet another format (I only done it 3 days ago!), I am pleased to announce version 0.3 alpha of Take The Eggs! is ready for distribution.
There are quite a few things new in this version and I have spent alot of time working out the kinks that plagued the previous version. Most notable is the new implementation of a modified VRAM update system which I can't help but thank DarkEz for his help with tearing the PAlib function apart which has helped drastically improve the game in more areas than one. Due to this new implementation, the game now has absolutely zero 3D sprite flicker and also is so much improved that I have been able to substitute the awful RAW music files for much cleaner 64kbps MP3 files.
Also added in this version are visible score counters to help show you how much points are being gained / lost. Please bear in mind that when you drop off a baby in another players pen, the score that is displayed is the effect on the players score that the pen belongs to. This is still currently a little confusing without the manual that I am still waiting for Triforce to finish (you deserve the public shame now lol) but this should be a little clearer now.
Finally on to the gameplay additions. No AI improvements since the last version but I have now included a new enemy on World 1 to give you a bit more of a hard time and also a whole new world for you to play which also includes enemies (those scorpions can give you a bit of a nightmare, mwahaha).
** Changes For v0.3a **
Fixed the layer problem with the TV in character / world select.
Improved 3D VRAM updates (Big thanks to DarkEz for the help).
No more sprite flicker due to the new VRAM updates.
New 3D Sprite system now allows for MP3 music in game. This could not be implemented before due to the amount of flicker it caused.
Few new SFX added courtesy of the extra RAM space available by using MP3.
Smoother rotation on the stage select reel.
Implemented world specific SFX.
Added enemy to world 1. Don't let him get you!
Visual notification of the scores being gained / lost.
Invisible fried egg bug should now be fixed (reports welcomed).
World 3 is now unlocked for all to enjoy!
** To do list **
Add 4 more characters.
Story between worlds.
Final configuration of the remaining five worlds.
Add secrets menu, this will include the level creator aswell as some other nice additions I have been thinking about.

Original posted at Go Nintendo
Remember back when Tatsunoko Vs Capcom Cross Generation of Heroes was rumored to be for Wii? All of that started because of some machine translation from a Japanese site that included a bit of Wii talk. Now we have the full details of just how this game came to be for Wii, and how Capcom is working with Nintendo-related technology in arcades.
Though the console media was quick to report the Namco statement that they felt the Nintendo Wii was crippling the arcade scene, few reported the fact that Nintendo has been investing heavily in the amusement scene. Since the 2002 agreement between SEGA, Namco and Nintendo, to develop the TriForce (based on the then GameCube console platform), the company has continued to be involved with amusement development – most recently the TriForce was used to power ‘Mario Kart Arcade GP 2’ for the arcade sector. Recently revealed at the Japanese amusement machine trade exhibition this month, Capcom showed ‘Tatsunoko Vs Capcom Cross Generation of Heroes’, their latest brawler – but along with this launch, the company revealed that the game was running on architecture based on the Nintendo Wii. Rumored to be similar to the TriForce platform, the new system offers a low cost route to market for Capcom, and also ensures that the planned home release of the game will be a direct conversion to the home platform. Information is still patchy on the release plans for the new hardware, and if like other Capcom releases will be supported by online network support.
Huge thanks to TheStingerReport for the heads up!

We wish we had some insight for you that could put this image into some different perspective, but it's exactly what it looks like: A lightsaber attachment for your Wiimote. You pay $35, you put one of them on your controller and it makes your pretender work better. Seriously.
As we've said on the Joystiq Podcast, if you're unable to have Wii fun without an attachment like this, you're tantamount to a fetishist unable to climax without the introduction of leather-bound dominatrices or rubber replications of farm animals. So, feel free to pick up the two-pack, but just make sure the store's empty beforehand, OK?

We have absolutely no idea why GAF user Shiggy was searching for Nintendo-made pedometer trademarks. But his discovery of just such a trademark is a reminder of why this mixed-up, big, blue ball takes all kinds of people to keep it going round.
We're a little sketchy on exactly what a pedometer is (we know Ubisoft made one), but we're betting this is either a Wii Fit-related way to count steps taken ... or Nintendo's latest child-security feature: A meter that detects the number of pedophiles in the area. We're pretty sure it's the former, but hoping it's the latter, if only to help us find nearby Gary Glitter concerts.

New special offer from Play Asia:
This installment in the hit Dokidoki Majo Shinpan series takes place weeks after the first game. Nishimura Akuji, a normal third year middle school student is summoned once again by the angels to start another witch hunt.
This time the hunt takes him to a far away town called Yon Town. To carry out his mission, he masqueraded as a student in a school said to have been set up by witches. However, since his academic scores are bad, he ended up in second year instead of third year. To add insult to his injured pride, he is paired up with a converted demon, Kuro.
Because of Kuro's clumsiness, Akuji's cover is blown. When his neighbor Seika Koron, another clumsy girl, finds out about his mission, she is determined to help him out. Witches, angels, demons and girls, Akuji's in for an interesting middle school life.
The game is split in an adventure part and a magic battle part. Search for items, gather information about suspected witches and chase after them. Launch into battle mode when the suspects refuse to cooperate, the rules in battle are simple, just deplete your opponent's HP bar and you win.
Once you have won your battles, search their bodies for the mark of the witches, clear the marks on the possessed and aim to capture their hearts as well. In this installment, you can search unpossessed girls' bodies as well as long as you have cleared certain requirements in the game.
As for mini games and unlockable stages, search for reversed colored pandas and the bunnies hidden around town, the more you catch, the more stages you can unlock.
Your ticket to a witch hunting trip is sold at a bargain product this week. Dokidoki Majo Shinpan! 2 DUO is set at a special price of US$ 19.90 only

Newly released today:
Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2009 puts players in bone chilling, pressure-packed hunting situations as they seek out savage animals in the world's most dangerous locations.
Players will face raw danger as they encounter the fiercest animals on earth, including lions, grizzly bears, jaguars and more. Accurately modeled Cabela’s equipment in the game means the firearms, tactics and gear are all realistic and precise – but this won’t always help in the face of an unpredictable, open environment packed with avalanches, elephant stampedes, and piranha infested waters. If you do miss a shot and fail to stop a charging man-eating animal, you will be forced to fight it via a melee defense – but pay attention; it's likely another nearby animal will join the attack.

Does Nintendo have an old-school hit readied for a modern day Wii treatment? That's the rumor that Gamekyo (formerly JeuxFrance) is running, pointing to an impending announcement from the company — as in this Thursday. The property is "an old franchise that everyone is waiting for," clearly a thinly veiled reference to Gumshoe, which has Wii Zapper support written all over it.
Nintendo has previously been rumored to have sequels to both Punch-Out!! and Kid Icarus in the works. Nice idea, but they're no Gumshoe.
We'll know, probably this Thursday, whether this rumor has any basis in reality.

News from Bushing:
The SaveMii launch has been pretty hectic, and we’ve even gotten some large volume requests from resellers. We’re flattered to get these requests, but at the rate we’re going, it’d probably take us a week of work in the kitchen to fill just one of those requests (let alone the individual sales we’re making on SaveMii.net!).
SaveMii is something that neither marcan nor I plan on living on. Both of us have Real Lives™, and we can’t afford to worry about this project for any kind of significant fraction of them. We’ve spent a lot of time on it, and we’re just trying to put a useful product out there at a fair price. (Of course, it’d be nice to get a little return on our investments and also get some cash for future hacking!) We’re investigating a small-scale Chinese factory production run, but this is something that’s hard to do because we don’t know what future demand will be like, and we’re already hearing rumors of multiple people planning to clone it.
SaveMii took a lot of reverse-engineering work to make, but compared to modern FPGA-based drivechip designs, it will be pretty easy to clone — and we know this. When you buy an Authentic SaveMii, you’re not just paying for some parts — you’re supporting Team Twiizers’ past and future hacks!
Listen up, would-be cloners: the market for this device is probably not big enough for two or more teams to be selling competing devices. We will all end up with a bunch of unsold devices, which will probably hurt us more than it will hurt you — but it’s still a lose-lose situation.
That’s the carrot — now here’s the stick:
We can’t compete with a mass-produced clone of SaveMii. If someone makes a serious effort to sell one, we will probably release all documentation, sources, schematics, and everything needed to make one. marcan will even release sources for his earlier PIC-based version, which is a lot less optimal but tinkerers are more likely to have the parts at home. We’d rather give this to the world at large and let companies fight for the profits than worry about it.
