AVEC is a Vector map viewer capable of displaying and navigating mapss in the common Polish format maps. If the map file has street information, the program tells you what street you are in, or lookup the name of a street selected with the crosshair.

Release notes:

Hi Guys,

Now with an indexed map file implementation, AVEC V3 is fast enough to keep up with real time in car navigation. No release of V3 just yet, but a YouTube demo video:

This is the first demo video of AVEC that isn’t captured from image sequences (ie. it was actually filmed with a camera on a tripod in the back of the car). Please vote for AVEC in the Neoflash competition if you like what you see.

Cheers, Art.

Brakken / http://www.tehskeen.com made an interesting posting, where he criticize issues with few scene pages, who mainly gain attention with others work.

Here is the quote:

It seems popular scene sites like *** and *** have decided to appease to a wider audience by copying RSS feeds from major gaming sites and posting their content. Aside from posting copied gaming news they also post many ADS for all kinds of boring shit. Anyway, what do you think about this? Do you think TehSkeen should copy RSS feeds of gaming news and post it along with tons of ADS for general gaming shit? Please reply or vote to let me know if I should bring TehSkeen behind a level.

The french homebrew scene site Nintendomax got a C&D letter from Tetris Holdings LLC.

Obviously Nintendomax had a homebrew hosted, which uses the copyrighted name “Tetris”. Tetris Holdings LLC managed to get Nintendomax’s file account closed, so basically all downloads are not working anymore.

This is a great loss for the homebrew scene, but nothing is 100% lost yet, as the guys at Nintendomax try to sort out the issues.

All this shows once again, that homebrew coders should step away from using copyrighted materials for their projects, unless they have an official and legal permission. This applies not only to trademarks, brands, but also to music and graphics.

Let’s see where this journey will end up!

This program analyzes an .dio, .fat, .nbh, .nb, .nb0, or .payload, reads out partition info to the screen, and dumps the uldr.bin, xip.bin, and imgfs.bin partitions. It should be compatible with any HTC ROM, and any other ROM that does not need to be run through nbsplit.
