Art released Jelly Clock.

Release notes:

Just a little demo of the Jelly Physics library by Walaber, ported to PSP by Drakon.

Although only a demo, there should be some improvement to come. Thanks to Drakon & Slasher for giving me some tips regarding the Jelly physics library.

CyBeRCeD is working on GeoDS for Nintendo DS.

Release notes:

My new project is Geodis. this homebrew is actually an application to increase awareness of the department of France. Of course, later there will be a kind of test where we must guess the name of the department displayed.

In the meantime, I will let you test and I await your impressions and ideas.

DEMOTEV is a GameCube demo by GranDFrère.

Quote:

With DEMOTEV, I wanted to associate light and texture, because in fact I knew the light by using vertex and display textures, but I could not combine the two. This is where the VTE: The VTE can combine ( “mix”) color information or not with a texture and / or combine texture with a texture (multitexturing).

It also plays well with the color and alpha of a textured surface with color and alpha of a colored surface. Background: alpha is the degree of transparency or opacity of a color. It can make 16 combinations (Stage) but only a multitexturing 8 textures. But it is enough.

In short, using operators, parameters, type of matrix, sources texture coordinates we do what we want the texture. As with Open GL. This demo is not multitextures and want a reason to use this possibility. I had already made a demo showing a cube with different textures simultaneously, but it was not multitextures as I had announced. I was wrong.

Scrolling is a GameCube demo by GranDFrère.

Quote:

With Scrolling, I had to manually create the characters leaf small squares method “old school”, and noted the coordinates of all vertices. I also made a routine that calculates all the normal averaged for the Light (ie more than normal in a table).

At the beginning it should be a scrolling, but it has become over time an auditor modeling characters. That is why it is a “rotation character”, “transparency” and “display vectors” that shows the normal.

You can also manipulate the camera you see that light is before the character and act from behind it.

Torch has updated Hold Plus, it’s a Battery Saver Plugin for PlayStation Portable.

Changes:

Fixed a problem caused by a faulty Hold switch in some PSPs. This made the CPU remain underclocked even after turning off the Hold switch.

The problem is the Hold switch doesn’t consistently return a pressed state. It sometimes rapidly fluctuates between an Off and On signal. If this fluctuation occurs within one iteration of the main program loop, it causes problems. Its not humanly possible to toggle the Hold switch so fast, but a loose connection can 😛

Steve Corey updated his port of PrBoom to the Nintendo Wii. PrBoom is a cross-platform version of the classic 3D first person shooter Doom from id Software.

Changes:

Thanks to everyone who responded to my request for testers. We’ve verified that this new package works great with the Homebrew Channel, so I’ve updated the zip file and put it out on the Google Code site (it’s still 0.4, since only the packaging changed). Thanks to everyone giving me such detailed info on the issue, I got it fixed much faster than I thought I would.
