ZXDS is an emulator of Sinclair ZX Spectrum for Nintendo DS, written by Patrik Rak. It is steadily reaching a mature stage of development, and it already has some noteworthy features, like accurate emulation of Spectrum 48k, 128k and Pentagon models (including sound), or support for TAP/TZX/PZX tape files, TRD/SCL disk files and RZX playback files.

Changes:

* Tweaked RZX code to work with more nonconformant but commonly available recordings.
* Worked around sound clamping while keeping the sound loud by throwing dummy sample into the mix.

I knew there must have been a reason why I didn’t use sound bias 0 alone long time ago.

robamacaf released a wip version of his game “KhetDS – The Strategic Laser Game” for Nintendo DS.

Release notes:

I worked on this for the last two days and have it at least in a playable fashion. If you don’t know what Khet is, here is a description.

It’s the game that combines lasers with classic strategy. Players alternate turns moving Egyptian-themed pieces having two, one or no mirrored surfaces. All four types of pieces (pharaoh, obelisk, pyramid and djed column) can either move one square forward, back, left, right, or diagonal, or can stay in the same square and rotate by a quarter twist. Each turn ends by firing one of the lasers built into the board. The laser beam bounces from mirror to mirror; if the beam strikes a non-mirrored surface on any piece, it is immediately removed from play. The ultimate goal is to illuminate your opponent’s pharaoh, while shielding yours from harm!

This game is being released to get feedback, etc. I will be updating it with more features. As of now, it is only 2 player on the same DS. I hope to add Wifi and computer AI soon. I am also looking at redoing the graphics, possibly 3D.

Powernoid is a Breakout clone with powerups inspired by Megaball for the Amiga!

Changes:

Improved collision detection by checking the edge of the ball in the direction it is travelling.
Bat movement made slightly faster, and ball turns red when fireball powerup is active.
Added powerups to two more stages so every odd stage now has a powerup available.
Change made to second ball behaviour in multiball mode.
Change to high score encryption so the save file is incompatible with previous version.
