funcLib is a function library for the PSP, designed to help programmers program a little more easily and a bit more efficiently. It shortens programming time for pros, and also makes it simpler for the newer members of the scene to join in.

funcLib is currently an arrangement of files containing functions which are seperated and commented to make it easier for you to search through them.

Features:

BMP Loading, TGA Loading/Saving, PCX Loading, RAW Loading/Saving
Full texture support with swizzling, mipmap and palette support aswell as vmem.
Easy and extendable graphics API with support for perspective and ortho modes aswell as vsync, Show FPS, etc.
Memory allocation module, with vmem allocation included aswell as a simple paging mechanism, memory pooling, scratchpad usage, stride allocation and much more.
File wrapper that allows loading of files from memory aswell as from the memorystick and from a pbp-plus file aswell as additional functions.
Fullscreen effects Invert, Grayscale, Sepia, Night Vision, Thermal Vision, Monochrome, Di-Chrome, Light Enhance, Color Enhance
2d graphics module capable of drawing ellipses, quads, triangles, lines, outlines, shaded ellipsoids, textures (strip blitted), etc.
3d graphics module capable of many primatives, textured or otherwise at fast speeds.
Sprite module capable of drawing rotated and scaled sprites aswell as handling animations and a few other things.
Math module with fast vfpu maths to speed up your maths heavy programs aswell as 3 types of random number generation.
2d Collision module supporting closestLine, line-line, circle-circle, line-circle, rect-rect.
Input module for polling input and retrieving the state of buttons (e.g JUST_UP, STILL_UP, etc.)
Callbacks sorted out (aswell as power callbacks).
Complex debugging module that logs errors, screenshots them and shows a warning (all configurable).
Font module which can draw most types of font, and also converts the debug font into a swizzled clut4 texture in vram for faster rendering.
Timer module, for timing oddly enough 🙂
A collection of samples of how to use different features, including 2 full games (flAstro and flMineSweeper).
Color manipulation module for graphical programs and random color generation.
A 3d camera class that allows all views and is easy to use.
Thousands of defines, types, etc. which should come in handy (e.g SCREEN_GAMMA, MATH_PI, etc.)

New features include a color chooser to set the line’s color and transparency, full screen mode, a few bug fixes, and a new fractal (which sadly doesn’t work as it should yet, an update will follow soon).

Add http://idevdocs.com/install to your sources in Installer.app. The category “iPhoneDevDocs.com” should appear in “Install”. You can choose Fractalicious from there. If you don’t want to use Installer.app, you can still download it from the Downloads section.

Garf is a game simlar to Simon where a sequence is played and you need to replay it without mistake. The sequence gets extended by one, each round.

Release notes:

I’ve put up a new version of Garf. To install it, you must have a jail-broken iPhone/iPod Touch. Download and extract the contents, change the permissions so you can execute the files, and use SCP (or whatever else) to copy it into the Applications directory.

Here are some news from Eponasoft

Quote from our webboard:

This was released back in late September by one of the other groups I code for, Frozen Utopia. It’s a quick demo of the game and what to expect from the final. Some of the things have changed since this demo release (most notably the cutscene graphics) but the gameplay hasn’t changed much at all since then, just some minor tweaks. Anyways, here’s the file:

http://www.frozenutopia.com/msrdemo.rar

INSTRUCTIONS:
-Download and unrar.
-Run “unpack.bat” to decompress the audio files.
-Burn, mount to a virtual drive, or run the cuesheet directly in Mednafen.
-Enjoy 🙂

It will run in Magic Engine (you need a virtual drive to do this, or a burned CDR of the game) but there will be some graphics glitches due to unemulated features. The best way to play it is with Mednafen or a real machine. It requires a System 3 card and, like all other PCE CDROMs, is region-free so it will run equally well on a PC Engine Duo, TurbGrafx-16+CDROM+System 3 card, etc.

Here comes a new release from Sylus101 called “GIF/Card Viewer for Magic the Gathering Cards”.

Release notes:

Well, if there happens to be any issues with this I’ll ask a mod to take it down and I’ll take down the links to the gifs, but that aside, it’s pretty harmless so I figure what the hell.

I hope there are a few players out there who’ll like this, but if not, I’m sure I’ll just not receive any replies to the post.

It’s a simple app, not sure how/if it’ll work on a slot 2, but just put all the gifs in a folder called gifs on the root of your micro flash card. Tap the icons to enable or disable viewing that type of card by color, type, set, or rarity. Has sets from Ravnica to Lorwyn, no core sets though but I’ll surely be adding them as well as previous sets likely back to Mirrodin. Here is a split up archive of the gif files, currently 1830 of them. The nds file is attached in a zip. I’ll put up the .gba and sc.nds dumps too if anyone wants. Oh, and it’ll need to be dldi patched in case your card doesn’t to it automatically.
