atari2600land has posted an update of his Atari 2600 homebrew game “Jack and the Beanstalk” which is based upon a fairy tale with the same name.

Release notes:

The last update of the day. My eye hurts (migraine) so I probably won’t be working on this tonight unless i feel better. What I basically did was add a cutscene and programmed the castle rooms. If the castle is too small, I can add more to it if there’s enough space left after I’m done with programming the level. The password for level 3 is “39”. I’ll add the castle guards and the items Jack must get later.

AemioDA is a single arcade game emulator of the game Asteroids coded by Alekmaul. He seems to turn into the “single arcade machine game emulator king” these days 🙂

Of course the commercial rom is not included and you need to find it on your own – do not ask the author of this emulator nor anyone on this site for it.

Nitro Hax is a cheat tool for official games running on the Nintendo DS. It supports any Action Replay DS code type with a few important additions.

Release notes:

New release out today, version 0.92, available as usual from the NitroHax page on my website. For an extra special Christmas present (continuing the tradition), you can has sauce with your codez.

This release fixes Pokemon Diamond/Pearl, and incorporates some improvements to the cheat engine as suggested by Normmatt.

Now before anyone asks, I am releasing source now because circumstances have changed. Practically all flash cards support AR codes now, either through ripped-off engines or ones they’ve written themselves, so there’s no point keeping that secret any more. I would love to release the card reading functions too, but unfortunately I’ve been informed that they’re actually covered by a patent. This means the BootLoader won’t build completely from the supplied source, but a compiled copy is in there already.
