Invasion Of The Cow Suckers v1.0 (GP2x Game)

The sheriff took your guns, nobody believes your cousin Clem the town drunk as to what he saw and who’s been rustling and butchering the local cows. Hell they’d already assumed it was him since he and his brother’s BBQ Hut has been having a sale on brisket all summer. Only you believe him and you’re tanked up and crazy enough to help try to stop them since they’ve been sucking the blood out of your livelihood, the herd. Clem was all star quarterback until that bull riding accident broke his knees so he can only throw forward and it’s up to you to put him in position by maneuvering your truck just so but he can throw up to 60 yards accurately and you have a whole monster truck load of axe handles and pitchforks. Honk the horn to herd the cows, maybe frighten an alien and try not to hit any cows or wreck the truck since the aim of the game is to defend the herd. The way them aliens been attacking your cows the truck may be all you have left by end of summer. Oh and be sure to avoid that death ray when the aliens start tagging up the place with them crop circles.

Features:
* All Wheel Drive
* Automatic Transmission
* Mud Flaps
* Radio Gets Two Stations On A Cloudy Night
* Clem’s got one hell of an arm on him
* Full moon

Tips: To fork a cow sucker smack it dead center on the black grill. Use the nitrous to move quickly around the pasture with occasional misfires.

NOTE: This game is not rated. Scenes and subject matter depicted may be considered offensive and highly unsuitable for children, women, men and certain farm animals.

as a result dialing takes longer though

– added record editor(a very simple one) but it gets the job done.
– as a result names are now restricted to 20 charecters as a result.
– no more pc needed for editing numbers!

Upgrade to Installer.app v3.0 ASAP (iPhone misc)

Ste, a maintainer of one of the biggest iPhone repro’s posted this on his page:

Alert – Please Read – Very Important – Pass This On

The release of the 1.1.3 firmware has caused a ton of headaches for developers and package maintainers. Many packages store media and preferences under /var/root/Media and /var/root/Library. With the release of 1.1.3, most packages will now need to store that stuff under /var/mobile/Media and /var/mobile/Library.

For developers, they have to write their apps to be firmware version aware, so that they can read/write from the correct location, depending on what firmware they are running on. For packagers, we have to install/uninstall that stuff from the right place, depending on the firmware. It’s a nightmare.

Nullriver has released the full 3.0 version – no beta any more – of Installer.app. This release allows packagers to install the stuff mentioned above into ~/Media and ~/Library and Installer.app will put it in the right place, based on the firmware of the device.

This version of Installer.app also provides packagers with the ability to check how much free space is available, before installing, so that we don’t fill up the root partition any more. It also adds features that will help in migrating applications out of /Applications to other locations. There is more – this release is really chock full of stuff to make life easier for all of us.

It is imperative that you upgrade to Installer.app 3.0 as soon as possible. By that, I mean NOW. Right now, today. I am going to start releasing package updates today that will rely on the new features. They will not install correctly on older releases of Installer.app. If you run into any trouble and find you need to manually download and install Installer.app, get it from here ( http://repository.apptapp.com/packages/System/Installer.zip ), which always points to the latest version. Other repositories will start using these new features shortly, too, so it really is in your best interest to upgrade right this minute. If you do not, and you have an issue installing any of my packages, my response will be “please upgrade, try again, and only come back if you still have a problem”.

To prevent this kind of chicken-and-egg issue in the future, one new feature in this release is the ability for the package maintainer to specify a minimum Installer.app version required for the package to install. Unfortunately, this time, we can’t really use it, because the older Installer.apps don’t understand that feature.

For a full listing of changes in this release of Installer.app, please see the “Featured” page in your current Installer.app.

Changes:

– Major speed improvements (> 60 fps at 222Mhz)
but limited at 50fps by default

– IR keyboard support
(pretty useless, but don’t forget, i’m a shadok)
– Add several new hotkeys :
. settings such as fps, render mode, auto fire speed
can now be directly modified inside the emulator
(no need to enter in the settings menu)
. quick save / quick load current state
(no need to enter in the main menu)
– RTrigger/LTrigger keys can be used in the keyboard
settings menu to navigate between Normal, LTrigger
and RTrigger compose mapping.
– Analog pad can be used in the rom file requester
– Default Hotkeys can now be set in the keyboard mapping menu
(useful to add hotkeys on existing/previous keyboard files)
