Nielkie has updates his “The Super Special Awesome Helicopter Game Clone”.

Changes:

New Features:
* Menu-ish thing.
* Multiple selectable crafts. (Helicopter, Planet Express Ship, F-22 and Superman)
* Multiple selectable difficulties. (Easy, Hard an Original (Where I tried to make it as close to the original game as possible, but it turned out to have an entirely different feel to it, so I couldn’t put it with the others.)
* In-game MP3 Playback (Put MP3’s in The game’s directory, and cycle through them with L and R) (Sample Included 😉 ). (The downside to this is that to make the music play distortion-free I needed to chock the processor up to 333mhz.)
* The game will now save you best score to a file, so it will still be there after exiting the game.

Bug fixes:
* The gap in which to fly no longer gets smaller and smaller to a point where your craft does not even fit.

Tweaks:
* Wall generation code now much smother.
* Doubled the frequency of obstacles.

DsKara is a utility making it possible to read karaokes on the DS. You have the music in the background and the program displays the lyrics.

For now it does not do much – It displays the first three lines of “Wake me up when September ends” (from Green Day).

The goal of Mobile-RSS is to create a native iPhone application which will remember all your feeds and give you an easy interface for viewing, adding, and removing.

Changes:

1) Auto converts feed: to http:
2) Added support for Yahoo’s feed layout
3) Fixed bug where certain feeds (aka: Slashdot) wouldn’t show the feed name under item view
4) Fixed it so if the feed doesn’t contain text for an item, the app doesn’t crash and instead tells the user that no text was supplied and to click the visit link to see the item.

Here comes a rather sad story from the guys at noobs.eu, concerning a well known company, but read on:

You’ve probably already seen the news that Datel are selling a clone of the Pandora battery. You may even have been excited by their marketing information:

“Special TOOL version of our PSP battery works in exactly the same way as a standard SONY PSP battery but has the ability to put your PSP into service mode for custom firmware use.”

You might have thought that this means that you no longer need a homebrew PSP to be able to get started with Pandora. Unfortunately, you’d be wrong. And Datel don’t seem to be in any hurry to put you right.

This product is useful, in that it allows you to skip the step of needing a homebrew PSP to modify an existing battery. It even comes in a nice fire engine red colour, so you don’t get it confused with your other batteries. And it’s not a bad price. But you still need a homebrew PSP to create the files to place on the memory stick. Without the special memory stick, Pandora is useless. And no-one is able to legally give you the files required to prepare that stick without a homebrew PSP.

When you buy the TOOL battery, you get just the battery. No instructions, no indication that you even need a memory stick, let alone how to prepare it. Datel seem to be happy to let the buyer make the mistake of thinking this is all they need, and they don’t even help you figure things out once you realise your mistake. I think that’s pretty crappy, and relying on the community to do their customer support for them is rotten.

Here is a quote:

As we promised a long time ago we have now finished a version of eLoader which can be run from a custom firmware and HEN.

I know that a lot will probably wonder what the use of this is now that we have Pandora out so that anyone can downgrade, well the main reason is the PSP-Lite. As a lot of people are finding out the PSP Lite is unable to run 1.50 kernel, this means that old homebrew games are not able to run on the PSP Lite custom firmware, however eLoader makes it possible to run some of these older games without needing to recompile them. So I hope all you new PSP Lite owners enjoy getting to see some of the old homebrew games running on the new device.

For further details on how to install and use eLoader v1.000 see readme.html in the ZIP file.

For a list of homebrew that is reported to be working with this release, see the PSP homebrew database . And please, if your favourite homebrew is working (or not), then add a report to the database so that other people can see your results.
