UMDRip rips UMD’s.

UMDrip V5
All ripping operations are verified.
Each sector of the UMD is read twice, and compared to the file writing buffer,
since it is assumed that it is the PSP UMD drives that will fail over time.
On screen message is displayed if the verify fails, but operation continues.
The verified ripping operation takes no more time than previous versions.

Snake On Dope is a psychadellic “Snake” game with a drug twist 😉

Ruckage has fixed a bug with the ‘Game completed’ code and made significant changes to make stage C6 easier.

To make sure you don’t lose your game position you can just copy the sod folder in the v1.1 zip over your original sod folder and click yes when it asks if you wish to overwrite the files, it won’t overwrite any of your save files.
Alternatively you can backup the save files onto your hardrive first, the files can be found in the data directory and are called: hiscores, options and keys. These can then be copied into the data folder of the new version.

Here are some work in progress news from the iPhone chat application “MobleChat”.

Quote:

I haven’t posted in a while, so I figured I’d give everyone an update on MobileChat and how we plan to create a sustainable product for our users and us.

A lot of big things have been happening in the iPhone development community and with the release of iPhone Firmware 2.0 coming soon and potentially a 3G iPhone, there’s almost too much going on to keep track of. Everyone wants to know what’s going on with MobileChat, and the simple answer is: a lot.

Here’s a sneak peak of what’s been going on…

MobileChat is being completely re-thought and re-designed from the ground up. I can’t really get into the specifics right now, as we’re still in mid-swing with this thing; but here’s some of the problems we’ve solved with this upcoming release:
1. EDGE Connection Reliability – Previously, MobileChat only worked flawlessly on WiFi, where it had a stable solid connection, and even WiFi was a bit sketchy. Now, thanks to a great new architecture, that’s no longer a problem. Zero Bars? No big deal, MobileChat won’t disconnect you or drop your connection if you lose your signal. All of your messages queue up until you’re ready to receive them.

2. Memory Hog – MobileChat couldn’t run more than 15 minutes without crashing your iPhone/iPod. That’s no longer an issue with the latest version and it doesn’t use any more memory than the native applications distributed by Apple.
3. Sign Offs on Suspend – While the newer versions of MobileChat addressed this issue a bit, we never really got it right. Until now at least. You can even go as far as killing MobileChat’s process manually and you still won’t lose your connection until you explicitly tell the application you want to sign off.

Expected Release will be in-line with the new 2.0 firmware; which should be around June.

That’s it for now… I’m sure Shaun will have more for you guys soon.

Nicky Boum 2 is the successor of Nicky Boum.

While checking some old ports of Deniska, who is known for plenty of game ports to the Playstation Portable, I’ve realized there is a GBA version of “Nicky Boum”.

Gregory Montoir (aka cyx) has written an engine, which allows playing this Amiga 500 classic on Win32 and Gameboy Advance.

The release is from late 2007, but still worth mentioning.

Story:

The player controls ‘Nicky’, a little boy who embarks on an adventure through a fantastical land to find an elixir to save his grandfather from a spell cast on him by the evil sorceress Zoldrane.

Nicky can walk, jump, and in an original theme can throw apple cores to defend himself against the monsters occupying the levels. Aside from throwing apple cores, the player can pick up other items to throw at enemies such as bouncy balls and logs. The logs can also be used to build bridges at certain parts of the levels.

Nicky is able to jump on enemies to defeat them, which is often more difficult but lets the monsters drop point items to collect. When jumped on, some enemies such as giant snails will split into multiple smaller versions of themselves.

The game consists of 8 levels based on 4 separate themes including a swamp, dark forest and a castle.
