Dear visitor,

For those who know about the current “alpha testing page”, please keep it TOP SECRET. If PDRoms is fully back, then it will be located at http://www.pdroms.de where it used to be.

So far we only have around 700 files back up and we feel it’s not enough – considering we had more than 2000 files, before the file archive disappeared.

At this moment a kudos to celeth, the coder, who is working his ass off again! He was spending plenty of hours the past three days to improve and make the “new” PDRoms release ready.

Currently we expirience layout problems because IE doesn’t follow all standards. What is done so far…

* “Main News” on the front page, which covers all systems
* Three main RSS feeds – News, Latest Files, Latest File Updates
* System specific news page along with homebrew downloads. Including RSS feeds (Latest “insert system here” Files and Latest “insert system name here” news
* Most uploads do have a screenshot and YES, the long requested thumbnail preview has been coded and is beeing activly used!

Time for some sleep now… I might post some more information in the webboard late at night.

Please again, if you know about the “alpha testing page” don’t spread the URL. You have been given this information in trust, any PUBLIC leak of the URL might turn into the page beeing delayed a lot, as everything is alpha and the page could get messed up easily and work of months can be destroyed in no time.

Thanks for your understanding and myself along the PDRoms team can assure you, that the time of waiting will be over soon.

Regards
Kojote

Seemo has updated his game Lead (8k version).

Changes:

– on scramble stages, enemies flash when you are within their ‘hit’ range
– at the end of a catch stage, the message says ‘+500 / perfect !’ for a perfect stage, or ‘xx / caught !’ for
a ‘normal’ stage
– you can now carry a maximum of three smart bombs, so that you get a power-up for every fourth additional smart bomb. Thanks to Eric “r_type2600” for this suggestion! (the last ‘bonus points’ power-up got splitted into two 249 ‘bonus points’ power-ups)
– reworked a little the sides movement routine

Books is a native eBook reader for the iPhone. Capable of reading HTML and plain text stored on your iPhone.

New in version 1.2!

Inline image support! The update you’ve been waiting for! Images smaller than 300 pixels wide will appear as-is; larger images are scaled to fit the iPhone screen. (Sorry, no zooming.) You can still look at individual images, pixel-for-pixel, from the file browser.

Improved sorting in the file browser! Your book files will always appear first in the list, over the images.

Cyrillic support. Thanks to Russian user Michael for pointing me to the correct text encoding.

iSwitcher is a theme / keyboad swapping iPhone application. iSwitcher is 100% compatible with SummerBoard (verified with all versions up to 2.1).

What’s new?

Faster and more useful iSwitcher can now install icons with spaces in their name. I realize this doesn’t sound like a big deal. Trust me, it is. 😀 Version 1.56 is also about 15% faster than v1.45 when loading icon themes and about 20% faster when loading keyboards. (nice…)

Custom Icons We can now load custom icons for each theme. Say you are using the 1984 theme and the next, “can’t do without it” iPhone app is released and you don’t have an icon to match. If the theme developer, or anyone creates a matching icon, all you have to do is put it into the “Icons” subfolder and when iSwitcher is loading that theme, it will install your new icon. This also applies to your own custom apps. I use four one button “dialer” apps and I have made custom icons for all the matching themes.
