Pixelman v0.92.9b (NDS Application)

Pixelman is an sprite editor which will work directly on your Nintendo DS!

Changes:

– Added one option to top screen, press gear icon to turn top options on when screen is switched.
– Press little icon near corner of palette to enable palette size changing. 8×8 blocks max, 2×2 min. Press same icon to stop.(small note… believe it or not, both the palette and any loaded bmp are on the same 16 bit layer…)
– More Options button on Options screen is in progress, right now does the same thing as Done…
– You can now see as many files as you want in the sprites, palettes, and bmps directories. Can’t go into other folders though…
– Fixed a couple of minor bugs, and one that kept multi-frame sprites from updating correctly…
– Hold fill icon for about 1 1/2 seconds to go into persistant fill mode. Press again to stop.
– Hope I didn’t forget anything…

Terrance and Phillip (Build 54) (A2600 Game)

Do you remember the two farting guys “Terrance & Phillip” from South Park? Now those two guys have their very own computergame on the Atari 2600 platform.

Release notes from atari2600land:

OK, I think I finally got level 5’s background color down pat. It’s still gray, but then I realized that Terrance’s shoes weren’t visible. So I changed them to black, which meant changing the opening/title screens’ background color to white. I also made level 1 day instead of night so you could see his shoes better. I also made small changes to Terrance’s walking sprites.

Wraggster tries to discredit Tehskeen (misc)

Flashcards and loaders are bad? Does it cause the homebrew scene go RIP?

Follow the link if you want one more episode of how Wraggster/DCemu tries to manipulate and discredit!

This is sort of amusing… someone who is sitting in a house made of glas, should not throw with stones.
