There are some disappointing news about the iPhone MAME port, but read on:

Eh, I’m just gonna wait until the latest toolchain issues are sorted out before working on this anymore. It’s too much of a hassle to keep up with at the moment.

Rise of the Triad DS is a port of “Rise of the Triad” for the Nintendo DS.

Changes:

Sound effects are now fully supported.
Music is now supported, with caveats. ROTTDS cannot (currently) play the game’s music natively; however you can extract the music files from the game, convert them to ADPCM on your PC, and place the resulting files in your /rott/ directory, and ROTTDS will play them. I’m providing a music package containing the shareware music in ADPCM format. See the README.NDS file for more info.

iFlickr is a native application for iPhone’s to access and use the service “Flickr”.

Changes:

Tagging.
Auto rotation of photos on flickr.
Improved performance over EDGE. Now you can take a few pictures and minimize the application. It takes its time to upload over EDGE, and updates the number of pictures it is processing over the iflickr icon (The application now runs in background, and exits when it is finished uploading all the pictures)

Books.app is a simple eBook reader for the iPhone. It reads HTML and text files stored in your Media/EBooks folder, and is smart enough to enter subdirectories, if, for instance, you’ve broken a book down by chapters.

Changes:

Bug fixes! Books.app is now completely bug-free, and all features requested by users have been implemented. In addition, world peace has been achieved, Apple has announced that it’s open-sourcing the iPhone, and my children got A’s on their last report cards. Well, okay, that last one was an exaggeration.

Project JDS is a handy package to help you learn the Japanees basics. With this you can learn back and from hiragana, katakana and romanji. There is an option to show nigori and/or the maru of characters if any. Seeing how it’s written, hear how it’s pronounced and make your own set on the fly.

ArchonDS – A remake of the original game from 1983 (Atari ST) with new graphics. It is a strategy & action game, the battle light vs. dark!

Release notes:

You can play 4 different arenes and 4 characters:

archer vs. basilisk @ forrest
wizard vs. basilisk @ desert
archer vs. dragon @ swamp
wizard vs. dragon @ snow

I also added a mosaic effect when you were hit by an enemy.

Now you can move the units on the lower screen with the stylus! I have filled the chessboard with all sprites, which I have made yet

Extended Pandora Bootmenu is an extended bootmenu for use on a “magic” Pandora memorystick.

Key Features:

* Choose to boot firmware from memory stick, internal flash or the original Pandora mainmenu
* Fix flash1:/ (the one holding the settings and config) by formatting it and creating all directories
* Launch an additional application (PSPFiler or such) with working access to the real flash0:/
* Launch custom firmware installer (OE / M33) with working flash0:/ access, so it can install the CFW straight from a Pandora boot without the need to downgrade to 1.50 first, no matter of the current state (and version) of the internal flash.
* Access flash0:/, flash1:/ or memory stick via USB (straight from the menu)
