AgentQ released an update to his ScummVM port to the Nintendo DS.

Release notes:

Hi Everyone,

Here is a second beta version of the 0.11.0 release of ScummVM DS. It needs lots of testing, since there are so many games that I don’t have time to do much of it myself. So please download it. Please post, even it it works fine!

The new scaler makes text a lot more readable, at the expense of some slowdown in some of the newer games.

New function keys should make all the AGI games playable.

This is a beta release, therefore there are not full instructions. This is designed for those who already know how to use ScummVM DS. Full instructions for the older version 0.10.0 are provided on the ScummVM DS website. Please refer to these instructions, as this beta works in mostly the same way.

Also, I have been told that the same code which runs Day of the Tentacle and Sam & Max can also run some of the earlier HE games, so I have added these to the list below. They seem to work fine. Please test them too!

Changes

– Future Wars and Gobliiins now work again

CallFreq is a new generation of a phone dialer. It intelligently analyzes the calling patterns of an Android communicator user and provide you only with the contacts that you currently need most.

The current release of CallFreq allows the user to locate the contacts with whom (s)he communicated most over the last time period and instantly dial them:

– On the HOUR screen, contacts that user spoke to most often during the last 60 minutes are displayed.
– On the DAY screen, contacts that user spoke to most often during the last 24 hours are displayed.
– On the WEEK screen, contacts that user spoke to most often during the last 7 days are displayed.
– On the MONTH screen, contacts that user spoke to most often during the last 30 days are displayed.

Future releases of CallFreq will also allow to use predictive contact analysis and use advanced calling functions.
