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.

Reesy has modified OpenSNES for the GP32 once more. OpenSNES is a Super Nintendo Entertainment System emulator. Here is a partitial quote of the recent changes:

I have succeded in improving the current sound core, I moved the sound rendering to a DMA interrupt driven system. A section of sound is now rendered and played using a DMA, when the DMA completes it uses a interrupt to render some more code to play. Its a very clean setup and saves having to do all the messing around that Yoyofr had to do before in order to get clean sound.

I’ve also noticed that there must be a bug in the”fastmode”option on the video menu because then this in enabled the sound crackles and when it is off the sound is clear.

I’ve still got to fix the BLU+ and saving problems but here is another release for people to play with.

Kitty Book Portable is a textreader for the PSP. Changes:

pls. note: songti.ttf has problem displaying english and numbers when using size 11. (install it to Wnidows/fonts, the name is”unisun”, you will see the problem in your textedit tool, like ultraedit) But 12 is fine.

english word related bug in 16 dots font fixed.

Some Chinese display bugs fixed.

Page turning logic enhanced again.

Power saving logic enhanced. Some people complained that when he wanna quit the app and press , it’s just too slow. This time I have opened a window for users want to quit quickly: Please exit to Main Window or to File Explorer Before you Press . ( quick) Otherwise, if you press when reading books( in the readingwindow) it takes about 2 seconds to quit. ( slow )

Draw English and HanZi better.

A new pre-release of PSPRadio, an internet radio client for the PSP, is out. Changes:

Refactored PSPSound/PSPSound_MP3. (lots of things are different. but one thing that is evident to the end user is that the buffers were reduced by a factor of 5. Next -pre release will allow for the buffers to be configurable).

Added basic multiple samplerate support! Supported rates: 8000, 11025, 16000, 22050, 24000, 32000, 44100, 48000. Any rate can be implemented, I just need to add it to the code, let me know if other rates are required. Note that the samplerate conversion is really linear and simplistic, and hence the produced sound will not be very good. Still, better than nothing.

UI now displays buffer percentage (instead of in/out number)
