I just can’t hold myself back but there are a few things which have to be said right now.Recently the PSP and now the DS are affected by malicious programs, which are able to break your handhelds. The sense of this action is just right beyond my understanding and the understanding of most developers I know. People who are new to homebrew might be tricked to run a program, which will destroy their hard paid off system. Not everyone can afford a new one – and it’s not clever to trick new people into running code which is really doing bad things. Many people will get a wrong opinion about homebrew software and this is what i don’t want.The PSP is affected in two ways:

ReboNDS is a puzzle/action game in which you have to fill a playgound area isolating balls. To reach the goal, you have to draw horizontal or vertical lines. Any closed area without ball inside it will be automatically filled. Hence, this game is another version of the various X-bounce, K-Bounce, Win-Bounce, and so on… Some of the graphics wre created from scratch, some others use parts of icons from the Linux world. Relase notes:

Currently, highscores are again not recorder and microphone is not yet available. However, some sounds have been added and numerous bugs have been fixed.

This application was written so a File Manager could be kept in a non-executable area of the memory stick and launced externally using a 4-digit pass key. That way you can keep certain images/music hidden from friends/family and view at your leisure. Another use may be to keep rename/copy/delete commands away from very young users who may be randomly pressing buttons on your psp. Check the readme for instructions!http://forums.qj.net/showthread.php?t=20162

Zotbot DS, an upcomming game for the Nintendo DS has made a few more steps forward. Thanks toDrunkenCodersfor the news. Changes:

W00t just made a major update, I added a data map to the backgrond. What does that mean? Now the map has passable and nonpassable tiles, so now my game has a bump you can jump around w00t. This map will also allow me to do more in the future, such as determine tiles to be grind poles. The hard part non touch screen part of my game is done, now I can do the easy stuff various new tiles, artwork, and more levels. When I get some sort of hardware to test this game on my ds I will add the main characters weapon and enemies, so until then I think I’ll make this a race to the end of the level game. In honor of my engine being basically complete, I’ve made the background ub3r awesome. I also slowed down the sprite a bit, leave comments if it’s too fast, and also if the jump motion looks skippy.
