settings menu to navigate between Normal, LTrigger
and RTrigger compose mapping.

The port of Opten TTD to the Nintendo DS has been updated.

Changes:

based on r11899
added a start icon and description
the random seed works
loading original TTD saves disabled (256×256 too big for DS)
press A anytime (even after crashes) to toggle the console
Fix: trains can load and unload now
Fix: road depot window (and similar) doesn’t crash any more
Fix: YAPF is completely disabled now. If the player enables it or it is enabled in a savegame, an error message is displayed and it is turned off
Fix: saving games with bigger maps is now possible. Due to this savegames have to be uncompressed. Still 256×128 maps is the biggest possible due to memory limitations.
Reduced viewport memory. crashes due to not enough memory available shouldn’t happen so often any more.
The game bow the start menu at the beginning
Added a 128×64 version of the title screen savegame
Added a key combination for the cheat menu
Some bugs not mentioned should be fixed due to general improvements

abcd1234 updated his NetHack game for the Nintendo DS.

Changes:

Added support for tapping menu section titles for selecting items in that section.
Changed menus in keyboard mode to show item accelerator characters.
After insisting I’d never do it, action menus (read, zap, eat, etc, etc) now display only relevant menu items (with an option to show all).
Made ‘cursor’ a compound option, which can take three values: 0 (always on), 1 (disabled over hero), and 2 (always off).
More refinements to touchscreen handling to ensure that stylus raises are promptly registered (fixes periodic hangs).
Fixed directional prompting when keyboard mode is enabled.
Fixed detection spells (such as “detect monsters”), etc, so they properly wait for user input.
Fixed key bound option toggling, after I completely broke it in the last release.
Fixed crasher triggered by popping up a menu immediately after resuming a saved game with the ‘name’ option set (yes, someone hit this :).

DekuTree64 updated his art program for the Nintendo DS.

The controls are explained in the program, but here are the basic features:
– 2 layers (“BG” and “frame”). BG gets copied over when you create a new frame, so you can have a persistent background, or modify it as you go.
– 60 color palette, which can all be modified.
– 4 brush sizes
– Up to 10000 frames, or until memory runs out.
– Undo/redo. Up to 32 levels, or until it fills its 128KB buffer.
– Onion skinning (sort of, only shows one previous frame).

Changes:

NEW in v1.3
– Error checking on file access.
– Changed export format to .avi instead of .flc.
– Added a button so you can save without exporting, since it takes a while.
– Added a progress bar when saving.

Sephiroth_FF7 updated his game TrailBlazer to v0.3.

http://www.dev-fr.org/projets/(nds)-trailblazer3d/

Release notes:

This is a first version of my suite of tools for making single file executables for the GP2X. This version uses cramfs images to store the actual game data.

It hasn’t been particularly extensively tested, but it should work on any GP2X since it is mostly script based (though these binaries won’t run on custom firmwares unless they use the GPH kernel or provide their own cramfs modules). I will be working on this again in the near future and will be providing more tools and more information on writing your run.sh scripts (I may even be able to eliminate that entirely though the use of a tool I intend to write).

UPDATE: 0.2 has been released to fix a mistake which prevented packages running on Open2x. All packages should be recreated with this release.

Download: http://x11.gp2x.de/open2x/cramfsldr/cramfsldr-0.2.zip
Download (Boomshine2x example): http://x11.gp2x.de/tempfiles/boomshine2x.gpe

What is this: A win32 application which sync all your GP2X emulators on your SD card/GP2X to most recent versions.

Features:
* Emulators auto-update straight from server[s]
* Downloading and Extracting emulators [ from zip] straight to your SD Card/GP2X
* Full ZIP support
