juanvvc has spiced up the Gameboy Classic / Gameboy Color emulator Lemonboy2x.

Thanks to http://www.gp32spain.com for the news.

Sakura is a game available for GP2x and Windows, coded by Alpha Secret Base.

Gannatsu is another GP2x game coded by the creators of Kaiten Patissier, which has been posted earlier these days.

Due to the lack of japanese and a lost GP2x, we can not give any closer details.

Blind Assistant is an attempt to help blind human, using softwares that run not on expensive and complex hardware, but on a simple Sony PSP.

Blind Assistant uses Nanodesktop tecnology for windows environment, it is able to speak with the user using ndFLite, a porting of the speech synthesis engine originally developed by the Carnegie Mellon University and it is able to recognizes the name and the position of the people that are present in that moment in your room, using complex algorithms (as Intel EigenFaces/PentLand PCA).

The face recognition tecnology is provided using ndOpenCV, a porting of the original Intel OpenCV libraries developed by the same author of the Blind Assistant and of the Nanodesktop SDK.

Filippo Battaglia’s version of ndOpenCV improves the Intel code because the algorithms have been modified in way to use EMI (Enhanced Mathematical Interface), an API integrated in Nanodesktop system, and written totally in assembly, that is able to use Sony VFPU to speed up the necessary computations. Using EMI, we can obtain the necessary CPU power.

This program works only on PSP custom firmwares. It has been tested (under PSPE and PSP) with the CF 3.71 M33-4, 3.80 e 3.90 M33-3. The program is able to auto-update itself using the wireless connection.

The actual version of BlindAssistant is able to recognize the name of the people that are present in front of the blind.

Here is an attempt to bring Google Maps to the PSP with a simple interface. This program is not using the Google Maps API (except for address search), it is retrieving the images directly.

Changes:

* fixed Google Map views
* added window title and icon for PC version

Wii Homebrew Launcher is an interface similar to that of the Wii menu. It allows you to start homebrew stored on your SD card in the Wii front SD slot. Each program is represented by its own customizable “channel”.

WiiPoker is a homemade version of Jacks or Better Video Poker for the Wii. It is written with libogc and GRRLIB. The source also includes a generic card game library written to enable rapid development of any card game for the Wii.

The latest edition of the Gamecube/Wii toolchain now uses NewLIB v1.16.0 with updated patches to allow LIBfat to be ported. As usual, windows users should grab this update through the automated updater.
