Morgan has updated his graph calculation program for Nintendo DS.

Release notes:

I added graphing capabilities for up to four functions at once. Functions are now entered with the graph screen instead of having their own screen, I added a cursor for inputting functions, and functions are now easier to edit. Press GPH to access the graph screen/function editor, use the up and down keys to move between functions, and press ENT when you are finished editing them. Press the GPH key again to graph the functions.

Multiple:Option’s second DS homebrew release is Snatcher Pilot DS, an adventure game by Konami and an early game of Hideo Kojima (Metal Gear Solid). This game is a demo (hence “Pilot”) and is based upon the PC-Engine “Snatcher Pilot Disk,” but uses the Sega CD version’s assets.

Read the readme.txt for more information.

If you are looking for a threading solution on the DS a port of DarkPhantom has been made available. The thread dispatcher replaces the standard interrupt dispatcher provided by libnds at the moment so beware of compatibility issues.

In mid of February there were some more progress news about the ongoing “Ports of Call” remake for Nintendo DS.

Read on:

It’s about time for another update. Although i only make slowly progress there is at least some progress. The bug checks are taking more and more time despite the short cuts i take in testing. But each and every functions and event needs to be tested before i continue on the next one. I still have to test two events that i programmed already and i only need to make two new events to finish the coding for the game framework. After that i will start adding various sound effects throughout the game.

Things well go even more slowly from now on because i will move to a new house and the house needs some major renovations before it’s suitable to live in.

See the Port of Call DS site for the current standing.

Using iFile is very simple, all you have to do is put the according “.nds” file in your flashcard/linker and through it’s menu, load the program, once done, use the up and down arrow to select the file/folder. Use “A” to open and “B” to go to the parent folder.

iFile is pretty much acting as a file explorer.
