A simple yet addictive game, just point and click on two or more connected and identical ‘chunks’ to ‘munch’ them up.

Changes:

– Texts are now much clearer (added a black or white edge through multiple font renderings)
– Multiplayer co-op, with color and number seperation (skinning support for colors will be added later)
– Example skin update, to make it look a bit nicer
– Used fractal art instead of a gradient fill for Example Skin Background.
– Found and fixed a bug where the game would think it had ended, even though there was still one move left

Spinal made an imitation DSi menu for the DS/Lite, which looks and feels very authentic.

Currently it supports stylus and button controls, shows battery status, charging status, time, date, your name and the gui even uses your colour settings from your firmware. It loads homebrew only at the moment.

Hold+ is the ultimate companion to the PSP’s music player. It adds useful features and gives you TWICE the battery life when used properly.

It does the following when the Hold switch is enabled:
* Switches off the LCD screen and backlight.
* Underclocks the CPU to 60MHz
* The original screen brightness and clock speed are restored when the Hold switch is released.
* Prevents the PSP from going into suspend mode if you accidently push the power switch too far when turning off Hold mode.
* Allows complete operation of the PSP controls with the display turned off.
* Turns off LEDs in hold mode.
* While in hold mode, allows the use of Left, Right, LTrigger, RTrigger, Volume and Start buttons, if you hold the Select button first. Useful to skip songs, pause etc.

Additional Features:
* Enables the 5th brightness level on PSP Slim.
* Increases the vertical scrolling speed of Music player by around 50% (scroll 300 songs in 10 seconds).

Release notes:

This is a fix for people with broken Hold switches that keep randomly switching on and off while in Hold mode.

Now when the Hold switch is enabled, the PSP remains in hold mode permanently until the switch is fully pushed to the power off position. This will prevent a malfunctioning Hold switch from randomly interfering.

Removed Display Off mode (hold ANALOG UP while releasing Hold) since holding Select is sufficient for most users.
