Just tap on the screen and see how taps are handled and strokes are calculated into bezier control points. This application serves no other purpose that to show the touch screen’s diagnostics.

MACalc is a native RPN calculator for iPhone.

iSpit is a fast and tiny (<20KB) http server that allows you browse and download files from your iPhone using your favorite Internet browser.

You play with crayons and physics. The goal of the game is to move the red ball so that it collects the stars. You can cause the red ball to move by drawing physical objects.

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.

Changes:

* When you hit the button, or receive a call, ScummVM won’t exit anymore. Instead it’ll go into a suspend mode where it spends most of its time sleeping, until you resume the app by launching it again.

Release notes:

This app is very experimental right now, and some people may not like the changes that I will be making as we go by… This is normal, and when things get more stable, there will be options to enable and disable every feature, and everything you can do now, and could in the past, will be possible. But right now, for those who miss the cleanness and freedom of the 0.2 version, I set up a historical repository that can be added to Installer.app (Please visit the main page for that link).

All versions of all my apps will eventually end up there, and installing an app from there will overwrite any other version installed, as they install always at the same directory. If you overwrite an installed app, just uninstall in and install again and it will be fine… Optionally, you can download the previous versions here: iPhysics 0.2 iPhysics 0.1

The donators of ZODTTD’s Gameboy Advance emulator can be happy to have access to the second beta of v1.1.5.

Here is what ZODTTD said on his page:

Hi everyone…

Remember the secret URL for the download of the beta?
Replace the “b1” with “b2” in the URL and download the new Beta 2 version.
If you have issues downloading it, contact me via email.

Not in the beta and want to participate? If you didn’t sign up as a beta tester early on, you can donate via the main menu on the left-side.

Can’t donate? You can make a video of a previous gpSPhone version in action and a video of gpSPhone v1.1.5 Betas when you receive it. Just be sure to email a link to your video at: helpttd [at] pobox [dot] com

New in v0.1.5 Beta 2:
– Fixed some huge memory leaks. These memory leaks caused games to crash when loading, especially when they would work on first boot of Springboard and gpSPhone, but not after extended use (as well as switching ROMs mid-game).
– Changed the skin used.
– Improved “suspend” support. It’s turned on by default. If you don’t like exiting the emulator via the main rom list menu, disable this.
– Set auto_frame_skip as the default.
– Tweaked the sound settings slightly.
– Added an option to enable/disable screen scaling.

Things I’d like to know:
Is this release…
– faster, the same, or slower in terms of performance?
– better, the same, or worse in terms of sound skipping?
– better, the same, or worse in terms of sound quality?
– better, the same, or worse in terms of save state support
– better, the same, or worse in terms of crashing?
– what percentage of your games tested work with suspend mode in this version?

Some games that work well for me always: Super Mario Advance, Super Dodgeball Advance
A game that works well for me but doesn’t support suspend: Mario Kart

Suspend mode will resume a game when exiting the emulator mid-game, via a temporary save state. It seems half my library of games won’t suspend/resume properly.

Awaiting your feedback. Thanks for the support!
