http://playeradvance.org/forum/showthread.php?t=17883

This is a classic “sink the ship” game. It features three difficulties.

As already reported in the WIP news some time ago, Sephiroth_FF7 has improved his Tetris game Staris. It now features a 3D mode.

3 En Raya is an “enhanced” version of Tic Tac Toe, where the goal is still to get three crosses or circles in a row. The special about this game is, you can overwrite existing fields.

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.

Among the systems on which you can play those games are Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Dreamcast, PocketPC, PalmOS, AmigaOS, BeOS, OS/2, PSP, PS2, SymbianOS/EPOC and many more…

Release notes:

Here it is, the DLDI compatible version of Mini vMac for the DS:
Mini vMac DS-R3.zip

Source code available on request.

This should work with most homebrew devices, I cannot guarantee
all of them since a few have broken DLDI drivers.

You can test your driver by following the instructions here:

Thanks to everyone who helped me out with this, it’s been such
a long time though I don’t remember everyone.

If you did help out in some way please comment or email me
so I can update the post/zip with a list of credits.

About documentation:
If you sent in documentation but it’s not in the zip there
is a good chance I lost it.

Please re-send it so I can update the zip file.

Here are some news regarding an OpenTTD port found by Dark Knight ez:

OpenTTD being the open-source remake of Transport Tycoon Deluxe, a game which some of you might remember from quite some time ago. It was a big hit on PC, having you create a nice economy by setting up transportation lines for goods and what-not in the world. Pure awesome.

Anyway, someone that goes by the nickname load*,8,1 is busy on porting OpenTTD to the DS, and has released a preview version. Lots of random crashes still, apparently, but they’ll be worked on and this shows you people just how perfect this game would be on the DS.
