atari2600land has posted an update of his Atari 2600 homebrew game “Jack and the Beanstalk” which is based upon a fairy tale with the same name.

Release notes:

New version.
+Fixed the “shy” troll’s movement.
+The music shuts off during the beginning of the end.
Just beat the game for the first time (i haven’t really been trying to, though. Been too busy playtesting only the parts I’ve been working on, hence the need for passwords.)

Super Smash Bros DS v0.3a (Demo) (NDS Game)

GEMISIS updated his “Super Smash Bros” clone.

Release notes:

Hey everyone, it’s time for an update to Super Smash Bros. Dual Smash:

I have started the process of remaking the entire game from scratch. This demo is a simple demo with 2 characters, and one level. However, this particular demo has a secret mode that can be accessed on a real DS (emulators won’t work with the mode, but the game should work with some emulators)

Also, I would like to point out, that I am able to easily add characters and levels thanks to this new code. On another note, the game loads entirely from EFS, so make sure you patch the game.

As for the secret mode, I may make a video on it later on, but it is currently still very buggy, and I am still working on that, and the A.I.

For now, here is the download link(an amazing 4.35 MB):

The credits are the same as the previous demos, as I have not added any new levels or characters. The only difference in this version is how it runs, and some other things as well.

Hatari Wii v0.0.1 (Atari ST emu for Wii)

Yohanes who released WiiApple has just released an initial version of his port of Hatari an Atari ST emulator for the Nintendo Wii. He reports that it works fine on his Wii and that two other people have tested it – one who reports it runs really slow. Yohanes is asking for people to test it out before he releases a final version.

Some notes

1. You will need USB keyboard to use this emulator
2. Mouse is emulated using Wiimote (A for click), you can also use USB Mouse
3. Press F12 to access the menu (probably i should assign one of the Wiimote key for this),
4. Options can be saved to disk
5. Press home, or alt-q to quit
6. Floppy images can be placed in hatarifd
7. EmuTOS image have been included. With EmuTOS ROM, the green screen flickers a lot. It doesn’t happen with some real Atari ROMs that I tested.
8. Sound works (usually), just enable it through the options

ScummVM (Rev 35894) (GC misc)

ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!

This release is a infrequent build from the Subversion trunk.

Thanks to http://www.nintendomax.com and http://www.tehskeen.com for the news.
