News from Rockin-B:The SEGA Saturn cannot change texture coordinates in game by hardware. This means that textures are pre-mapped and cannot change (except very few and very limited programming tricks, not worth mentioning) which is required for some of todays lightning effects.So I started to implement the generation of a texture from a big source texture using texture coordinates and expanded it to a full featured real-time texture mapping support library. Three demos were released and the 3rd new demo is really.....ahm.....really worth to look at, I think.Features of the demo are: I'm so lazy writing stuff down here. Just look at the screenshots, view the video capture and download the SEGA Saturn demo to play AFTER READING THE INCLUDED README.TXT FOR CONTROLS. Because the demo is all about using the control pad smartly. You can do a lot with it if you know how. It is no auto-demo.http://www.rockin-b.de/ Read more about Texture Mapping (Sega Saturn Techdemo)

Author notes:Hey all, I'm releasing a port of Angband 3.0.6 for the PSP tonight. For those not familiar with the game, it's similar to the recently released Rogue Clone II, but much deeper (IMO anyways).Screenshots of the PC version of the game are available here, though my version does not look exactly the same. It's still just as addicting as the PC version however and plays better than I expected on the PSP.Please see the ReadmePSP.txt in the zip file for controls, known issues, disclaimers, etc. The zip includes executables for both 1.0 and 1.5 firmware PSPs as well as the source code. Hope you all enjoy.As a heads up, it takes about half a minute to load the game, but after that things proceed without delays.Feel free to leave bug reports or suggestions in this thread.-abszerohttp://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=7856Update: The file uploaded to the board seems to fail at unzipping. If you know of any other location to get this program, please let us know. Read more about Angband v3.0.6 for PSP v0.1 (PSP Game)
