Gnextop is the portal that lets you edit documents, browse the web and talk to friends, all at the same time! It is currently at Beta 3 (Version 0.3), and it is on schedule to be released in the second/third quarter of this year.

Gnextop combines features of Linux’s Gnome and KDE, to make a friendly yet powerful interface. If you don’t like the look of the interface, it’s easily changed!

Gnextop is a free product by BlazeByte.net, and it includes many features, including:

File storage
When you save a file, it is stored on the ‘virtual disk’. Files you save will be available when you login at a later date. The File Browser allows you to browse and open files.

Text editor
Make notes, write a document – Gnextop’s Text editor allows you to store your documents on the PSP so you can open them another time. Type quicker with Gnextop’s QWERTY keyboard.

Instant Messenger
Connect to MSN, Yahoo!, AIM and many other protocols using Gnextop’s Instant Messenger.

Web browser
You can browse the internet inside Gnextop using the web browser.

Maps
Lost? The Gnextop Maps application allows you to search for a location and bring up a map of the area, that’s right, Google Maps on your PSP, and you don’t even need custom firmware.

Contacts
Keep track of all your contacts, phone numbers and email addresses using the contacts application.

Calendar
Never miss a meeting with the calendar! With Gnextop it’s easy to schedule meetings, holidays and other events.

Image Organizer
Organize your images, add titles, view a slideshow.

This is an unofficial clone of “Ball Revamped 4: Amplitude” by jmtb02 studios.

Release notes:

– This clone uses RIPPED media from the original flash game. They were initially just placeholders, but then this project died and I wanted to get it out. Sorry John Cooney, please don’t sue.
– Since this still uses the old luaplayer 0.16 for speed, it requires the 1.5 kernel. If you want, you could try running it with a modded luaplayer, but it probably won’t run full-speed.
– There are only 29 levels, and there is no saving or level codes. As I said, this never got finished.
– If people are going to start sharing levels, be careful on which levels you run. Since they’re straight dofiles, they could potentially harm your files and your PSP. (Though theoretically the worst they could do is delete files on your MS)
– Since about 90% of the code was written when I was a lua n00b, it is messy, inefficient and organised.
– You can use whatever you want from the code for whatever you want, but I would appreciate you not bytecoding it and giving me a shout as to what it will be used for.

Release notes:

A pair of blocks fall in a grid, and you have to place it so that 4 or more blocks of the same shape collide and explode. Lines appear from the ground and the goal is to resist until the end of the music.
