DSision [di-iszh-uh n] (named by Jayenkai) is a replacment firmware for Nintendo DS flash carts. At the time of creation, most flash cart firmwares presented the user with a fairly simple, menu system, usually just a list of filenames on the screen.

DSision aimed to remedy this, by creating a nice looking, easy to use interface for loading homebrew programs on the DS.

Wee Basic is a BASIC interpreter for the NDS got an update after more than half a year – programming and debugging are performed directly on the DS.

Wee Basic now allows the use of sprites and backgrounds so you can try your hand with real Nintendo DS games using simple BASIC.

Summary

Wee basic now has:

– backgrounds
– sprites

– microphone
– key presses (keyboard and most hardware keys)
– stylus touches (touch recognition and coordinates)
– motion
– primitive graphics
– basic printing and coordinate printing

– core basic commands
– usable editor with save/load, using text files

Version 0.6

Fixed:

– editor has been completely revamped thanks to Alan’s txtwriter source code. See http://ds.spacemonkeymafia.com.
I modified some of txtwriter’s basic editing code for the Wee Basic editor.
– bug in boolexpressions (for if/while) using strings

added/changed:

– added motion commands (untested)
motion (keyword initializes motion – throws an error if no motion card detected)

print 1 “Motionx: “+x
print 1 “Motiony: “+y
end

Syntax is playmp3 ,, (each is an integer or number variable)
You can still use playmp3 without options if you want to keep it simple

Ands PDF displays PDF files on your NDS.

Changes:

Features:

* New viewing mode. This is the ‘reader’ mode. More on that later.
* D-pad now pans the screen. I got alot of requests for this one!
* File browser is now filtered; will only show PDF files. Note that it will show folders that don’t have PDF files in them.
* You can now adjust the backlit brightness by holding down Select + Up/Down arrows.
* You can now cancel out of the file browser with ‘B’, or by clicking the file browser button again.
* Rendering is getting progressively faster.
* Mini-help screen and info screen on startup.
* Added splash screen. If you find this annoying, remove the splash files in the FONTS folder, and it will bypass this step.
* Fonts are external now. This gives us alot more memory to play with at the expense of higher load times on certain PDF’s. (Note: I took out the dingbats font. If anyone as a PDF that has dingbats, I will hand out that file too… It is much larger though).

Bug Fixes:

* You can no longer scroll off the bottom of the file browser.
* Some memory issues resolved that led to instability.
* The zoom-tool used to mess up if you clicked it more than once. Doesn’t anymore.
* Tons of other stuff I’m sure…

Brix DS is a physic-based puzzle game. It’s quite simple: Use the stylus to remove all the gray blocks so that you can safely dispose of the bomb. To make the game more exciting there are different kinds of bricks for you to play with (there is a block description in the game).

If you can breeze through the first levels as if they were nothing, the final levels will definitely not be as easy. There are 57 levels, good luck stylus-ing your way out of all those bombs!
