PDRoms came back to life in March 2007, tho not for the public and parts of PDRoms (to name it: filesection, interviews, top lists) are still down.

Anyway… over 1300 news, supporting and reporting about homebrew releases have been made so far. Specially the boost of the recently exploding iPhone community is giving more news than usual these days.

Let’s hope our coder celeth will be reachable again somehow soon and bring the page fully back, so PDRoms can continue it’s old glory and beeing useful for all visitors out there, who are interested in homebrew releases for various systems!

NES.app uses the popular InfoNES emulation core to mimic the 6502 processor in a Nintendo Entertainment System, allowing you to play ROM dumps of games designed for the NES console. ROM dumps are files containing the dumped instruction code from a physical cartridge.

Changes since v0.48:

[nervegas] Fixed minor memory leaks
[nervegas] Fixed remaining save/restore state issues (I think)
[nervegas] Moved all critical globals into a nes_state struct
[nervegas] Fixed a bug causing certain games’ save state to corrupt

iPhone Books.app is a simple eBook reader for the iPhone. It reads HTML and text files stored in your Media/EBooks folder, and is smart enough to enter subdirectories, if, for instance, you’ve broken a book down by chapters.

Eventually, this project will include a simple method of syncing eBooks to your iPhone. At the moment, that’s handled by iPHUC and a shell script called copybookdir.sh. As of v. 0.2, this script is included in the .tar.gz download.

Books.app is recommended for use with Project Gutenberg texts, in conjunction with GutenMark, a fantastic PG markup tool by Ronald Burkey, which makes pretty HTML out of Gutenberg .txt files, and splits them by chapter using a second tool.

Entries:
[*]Submit as many entries as you like and have an extra chance to win the “special prize”
[*]No Splash-Screen required, you keep all your rights – even no need to mention PDRoms.

[*]You are not allowed to spread your GBA entry to the public before the official results!

[*]Entry should run on a REAL GBA
[*]Write a README with information about your game, this text will be used to present your entry, also add a screenshot!
[*]Please state out, which NDS game you were porting and send the NDS binary along (will not be published)!
[*]Package each submission in ONE compressed file archive and send it to shahzad.sahaib(at)web.de AND kojote(at)pdroms.de (just to be on the save side, due to agressive spam-filters – each entry will be CONFIRMED after max. 2 days)
[*]Entries can be updated by sending an updated archive ANYTIME before the deadline.

PS: If you feel left out: Release a NDS game first and then “backport”/”redo”/”convert” it to GBA and release it with this compo 🙂
