Slide2Unlock2 (S2U2) is a simple lock/unlock application which has the iPhone style slide unlocking. It can be used as a screensaver while you don’t use your device. And it’s has a CallerID function.

Changes:

– it now locks the Diamond’s Home button (but in another way).
– all graphics support high resolution, i.e. truely VGA. (thanks poorlyduck for helping the artworks)
– changed some graphics elements (e.g. a new battery connector).
– fixed the bug that occasional double lock occurred in v1.22.
– moved the S2UText & S2AText settings from registry to lang.ini (as it’s more related to language).
– reduced the memory usage.
– a more logical S2U2 Settings.
– some minor bugs fixed.

Centipong (14-10-2008) (NDS Game)

Jayenkai released Centipong for Nintendo DS.

Release notes:

My latest “It’ll grow over the next few weeks” DS project.

Centipong!
Already on the PC along with online highscores, “Focus” rounds, and different pod types.
I’ve finally gotten round to redoing it, and popping it on the DS.

Missing Features
There’s no Focus round yet, but that’s planned.
I’ve not added all the pickups in.
I’ve yet to add additional niceness, too. Like… The titlescreen’s really really basic!

Xyds v0.2 (Fixed) (Xy-Mini emu for NDS)

zzo38computer has updated his Xy-Mini emulator.

Changes:

I posted the fixed version now. Now it works correctly.

Xyds: http://zzo38computer.cjb.net/nitro2/Xyds/
XYMTOOL: http://zzo38computer.cjb.net/xym/xymtool.zip

To use XYMTOOL to patch a .nds or .ds.gba or .sc.nds file:
xymtool -f xymfilename -p xyds dsfilename

XYMTOOL includes source-code. It also includes TILEMAKR and MAPMAKER, which are used to create tile sets and maps for XY-MINI (monochrome tile mode only). 8ted can also be used to create tile sets for XY-MINI (but TILEMAKR has a few features that 8ted doesn’t have). If you want to use XYMTOOL on a operating system that isn’t Windows, you have to compile it using FreeBASIC.

Nanodesktop v0.3.5 (PSP misc)

Nanodesktop is a library for the development of simple applications under embedded platforms, as the Sony Playstation Portable (TM).

The Nanodesktop library is totally written in C for maximum performance. If you have a platform where you cannot run traditional windows environments, as X-Window (TM), you can try Nanodesktop library.

Release notes:

I have released a new version of Nanodesktop (0.3.5). This version is only for developers, some features don’t work yet (but it is 99% working).

My hope is that other developers can work on it. For example, I’m looking for somebody that can help me to add the support for
the PyKey driver (the code is already written and ready; I need only a programmer that writes the calls to the driver and that tests the hardware).
