Vong stands for “Vertical Pong” and is a Pong game for Atari 2600.

Release notes:

Here is the last NTSC version that I am posting. I will not post the final version because I dont want people to make pirate carts. There are also several dummy routines and dummy variables, so hopefully there will be no reverse engineering.

There is no longer joystick support, I perfected my paddle reading routine and adapted it to the kernel, so now there is accurate paddle support (tested on real hardware, works fine). I am still going to fine tune the PAL AI, so I am not going to post a PAL version of this until I do so.

Here’s Dromio’s first attempt at PocketPC development — an MPD client. It’s a fairly nice application, but maybe someone else out there will enjoy it.

First off, you’ll need an MPD server. MPD is a small simple daemon that plays music. It has no UI of its own– it relies on various clients to connect to it for control.

His application does not actually play music. It’s more like a remote control. It connects to your MPD server and tells it what to play. But if you combine this with icecast on the server and TCPMP on your phone, you CAN actually stream the music to your phone.

A new beta of “Launch Manager” is out…

Music player for the Wii. It has a nice interface and is skinnable. It plays mp3, ogg and other formats but does not work with wma, aac or flac. It is a native Wii application (no Wii Linux) with the intent of being a multi-source media player on the Wii.

DragonMedia Player will pick up files anywhere on your SD card, and plays sequentially once a file has started. Simply install into the HBC by copying the dmp folder in the zip file to /apps/ and run the program. Do not rename the folder as DragonMedia Player expects things to be in the correct order to function. For the changelog, please look inside either the source or the binary zip file.

Changes:

* Implemented read-ahead buffer to help with some choppy files on usb.
* Fixed settings not getting saved if you don’t change the theme name sometimes.

Wii Web Server is a simple Web-Server for the Wii. Still it’s in very early stages of development and at present can only display a built in test page.

Changes:

* Uses new wiiweb.xml which causes less crashes and //quit?password works 99% of the time.
* Various bug fixes from the table below
