textReader v1.1 (Beta 8) (iPhone Application)

This application allows you to read large Text (.txt,.text), Palm Doc (.pdb), Mobipocket (.pdb,.prc,.mobi), Plucker (.pdb), HTML (.htm,.html), and Fiction Book (.fb2) files quickly and efficiently on the iPhone/Touch. This application doesn’t have the fancy formatting of ruBooks or Books.app, but it can quickly load and display large text files that currently cause Books.app or other UI Text View/Web View based apps problems. If you want to load books quickly and read text, this may be the app for you.

Changes:

* New option “Delete Cache Dir”. If you expand a ZIP, RAR, or CHM file, a cache directory will be created with the contents. This option will delete the cache directory when you navigate out of it, which means you won’t have to manually delete it. The down side is that you’ll have to waste the time recreating the cache directory when you navigate back into it again. Note that moving among files inside the cache directory will not cause it to be deleted or recreated.

Note: Books.app http://code.google.com/p/iphoneebooks/ and ruBooks http://colel.info/rubooks/ provide a formatted display of text and images. If you are willing to break up your book into smaller chapters they may also be options.

Champyonshipp Kaiten Patissier v1.00 PSP (R1) (PSP Game Port)

After the great Kaiten Patissier and Ura Kaiten Patissier games, team Alpha Secret Base released Champyonshipp Kaiten Patissier today. The gameplay stays the same as in Kaiten Patissier and Ura Kaiten Patissier. With this release you get 50 really hard levels to challenge your brain and reactions.

Release notes from MK2k:

Have fun with the PSP port of it. Oh and on a side note, please don’t blame me about the title, I took it directly from the Alpha Secret Base website and actually know how to write “championship” 🙂

Basilisk II (04-07-2008) (MacOS emu for PSP)

Basilisk II is an Open Source 68k Macintosh emulator.

Release notes:

Okay Wally, I know you’ve been waiting…

Here’s a test build. It’s not meant to be used, it’s for feedback on the GUI mainly. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t work – it boots my 8.0 CD just fine. It’s just not usable yet due to limitations.

Ignore the crappy refresh routines – I’ll be replacing them entirely in the next few days. I just used enough of a stretch blit to be able to see something to be certain the emu is running.

Currently, the analog stick is the mouse, with LTRIGGER/RTRIGGER as the buttons. The d-pad is the cursor keys, and X is ENTER. I’ll eventually have denzef keyboard and pspirkeyb support, as well as the ability to remap the buttons when in that mode. As I mentioned, this is just a test.

The only volume you can select is the cdrom. You can select hardfiles, but they aren’t remembered or used (yet). I’ll put a floppy selector in there as well tomorrow or the next day.

The default directory for roms is “roms”, the default dir for floppys is “disks” (and floppies should all have an extension of .dsk), the default dir for cdroms is “cdroms”, and hardfiles is “hardfiles”. It doesn’t mean they HAVE to be in those directories, but that is where the file requester will go first.

I allow three Mac resolutions – 512×384, 640×480, and 768×576. You can select four different depths – 4bit, 8bit, 16bit, and 32bit. At the moment, the video is also hardcoded to only display on the LCD. I’ll change that when I change the refresh routines.

The binary here is currently set for small memory so I could check how it would work on a phat – you can get up to 16M on a phat and 44M on the slim (not with this build – with a build set for large memory).

Anywho, here’s the current test build and src arcs.

Thanks to http://www.dcemu.co.uk for the news.

textReader v1.1 (Beta 7) (iPhone Application)

If you want to load books quickly and read text, this may be the app for you.

Changes:

Files are now ordered case insensitive and numerically instead of alphabetically. This means that you’ll see lists like file 1, File 2, file 3, … File 10, file 11.
Files that have never been opened will have a “fat” disclosure symbol (>) while files that have already been opened will have the “normal” disclosure symbol > after their name. This will hopefully allow people to keep track of files they have already read, although the delete button is a good way to handle that as well.
The Settings page was getting too complicated, so I have tried to split it up. Let me know what you think, an if you have any problems or suggestions.

Note: Books.app http://code.google.com/p/iphoneebooks/ and ruBooks http://colel.info/rubooks/ provide a formatted display of text and images. If you are willing to break up your book into smaller chapters they may also be options.
