libXM7 is a C library to play XM modules on Nintendo DS using only ARM7 resources (thus freeing your ARM9 from that task).

The use of XMs as a background music in your games allows much more flexibility compared to the old MOD format: more channels, multisample instruments, envelopes, panning and so on. In addition, the XM format is very well known and widespread among composers who compose music using their favourite tracker. Moreover, the reproduction of the tune will not use ARM9 resources as all the necessary elaboration is carried out by the ARM7. With LIBXM7 all you have to do is load the module and fire.

Changes:

[add] Instrument panning envelope is now supported
[add] Instrument ‘auto’ vibrato is now supported
[add] Amiga frequency table mode (MOD native mode) is now supported
[bug] Effect Hxy (slide global volume) now has memory effect
[bug] Effect EDx (note delay) now retrigs last note and his envelope when specified on a ’empty’ line
[bug] Effect E9x (note retrig) now retrigs instrument envelope too
[bug] Effect Lxx (Set volume envelope position) now starts working in the first tick
[bug] Instrument finetune parameter 3 LSB are now ignored, as in FastTrackerII
[XM7_LoadXM() ARM9 XM loading function:]
[bug] XM7_LoadXM() now doesn’t fail while loading XMs containing multi-sample instrument with 16bits samples in it

This new program allows you to take ever your homebrew game archive up to date, giving the possibility to download all the best not-commercial games of the amateur scene. This homebrew works on all the flashcards that support the DLDI due to the direct access to the microSD that GameUP needs (for more info, check out the FAQ section).

Changes:

* New more clear font
* At the fist startup, GameUP will create a folder (in the root) that will be used to manage all the files Gameup needs (no more bmp and txt files spread into the card)
* Fixed a bug in listing game (repetition of some elements when print out a small list after a bigger one)
* New uploaded games are marked even on the DS through a small green mushroom next to their name into the list so you can see immediatelly what’s new in the game’s archive.

Rookie1 is creating a menu system for Dingoo Linux which resembles the default Dingoo menu. The video linked shows it launching Gnu Robbo (from Gadgetoid). Next step is to implement a file choser to pick the rom file name before launching the emulator.

The R6 stores a .SAV file for the last played game in the directory of the next chosen game and this directory may well change, which leads to a savefile that cannot be found by it’s corresponding game. This is a problem for each user who likes to store games in different directories, for example in order to sort them by genre or year.

R6 Save Relocator automatically finds deserted .SAV files on your Neoflash R6 and tries to find their correct location and moves them back there.

If R6 Save Relocator just finds one deserted .SAV file for a game, it moves that .SAV file automatically. If it finds more than one .SAV file, the user may select the one that should be used and can either choose to keep the others or delete them from the R6.

The current move is actually a copy and delete afterwards. This is because libfat doesn’t unfortunately support the rename function. Feel free to update the sources if you like!
