viDSnips 3 by IceDaddy is a basic media player library for playing short video clips on the NDS for libNDS based homebrew projects.

For PALib based projects viDSnips 2 is probably more suitable as it gives better audio quality and performance.

Thanks to IceDaddy himself for the news!

ZXDS is an emulator of Sinclair ZX Spectrum for Nintendo DS, written by Patrik Rak. It is steadily reaching a mature stage of development, and it already has some noteworthy features, like accurate emulation of Spectrum 48k, 128k and Pentagon models (including sound), or support for TAP/TZX/PZX tape files, TRD/SCL disk files and RZX playback files.

Changes:

+ Proper save requester, including support for basic file management operations.
+ Alternate between two different directories by tapping the save/load file icon again.
+ Quickly switch models in load requester with various L/R+X combinations.

+ It is now possible to step the emulation frame by frame.
+ Added pouet.net and Tipshop pokes library to servers.cfg.
* Implemented HTTP redirects, required by some pouet.net sites.
+ Directly poke decimal, hexadecimal, or binary values in the data dump view.
* Switched to PNG for background and icon graphics. The BMP support remains, but note that some names have changed – check skins/readme.txt for details.
* Augmented the 128k keyboard graphics with symbol characters. Thanks, Paddy.
* The selected keyboard is now saved to the config file.
* Distinguish the load and save slot screens with colored slot frames.
* Disable the keyboard matrix effect during multiplayer session. It is often difficult enough to configure the controls even without it.

* Other subtle changes (nicer boot message, increased cheat poke limit).
* Fixed loading of Pentagon SZX files (ROM paging, step direction).
* Minor bugfixes (libfat mkdir and aliasing, ZIP long name skipping).
