n00bey has released a new version of DSBash which is an online website reader for Bash.org , QDB.us and German-Bash.org. This new version lets you listen to MP3’s in the background.

Changes:

– PALib isn’t included anymore. I just cut out the Text-Print function and optimized it a bit. It was kinda idiotic to include to whole PALib just for ONE text-function.
– The download function now works for all pages again…
– Now there is a loading screen that shows some plasma effect. Just a freezed screen on clicking something seemed so unhandy… You never knew if the DS is doing something.
– The code got reorganized. When I started the application it was a small 500 lines .c file. Then it got bigger and I started to include .c files directly (I was a coding-noob ;P ). But now compiling takes ages and I decided to make multiple .c files only including headers.
– DSBash now searches for MP3 files on your card and plays them randomly. In the configuration ini you can change the music-folder path and set if you want it to scan recursively or not.

3D Engine – Nitro Engine is a 3D engine coded by Antonia Nino Diaz.

Changes:

– Text system and camera system optimized. New functions for the camera system.
– NE_TextPrintBox and NE_TextPrintBoxFree slightly changed. They can limit the text drawn to a number of characters set by the coder.
– Some functions made internal. Don’t use them unless you know what you are doing.
– Fixed (?) at least the 2D projection.
– HBL effects fixed.
– Touch test functions.
– NE_UPDATE_INPUT removed.
– It now supports any BMP size, and BMP with 4 bits of depth.
– Arrays made pointers, so there is more memory free when you are not using Nitro Engine. You can also configure the number of objects of each systems you are going to use.
– NE_TextPalette replaced by NE_Palette.
– You can clone materials to use the same texture with different colors. This doesn’t have the problems of cloning models.
– Added functions to remove all palettes and textures.
– Fixed NE_End().
– NE can free all memory used by it, and the coder can tell NE how much memory to use.
– Texture drawing system improved a bit.
– NE_PolyFormat simplified.
– Some bugfixes, code reorganized, define lists converted into enums.
– Clear bitmap supported, this is used to display an bitmap as rear plane. Each pixel can have different depth. This needs 2 VRAM banks to work.
– Solved some problems with 2D system and culling.
– Nomad NDS_Texture_Converter is no longer included, if you want it, look for it in google.
– Added Nitro Texture Converter, made by me. Open source, and it exports various levels of alpha in the textures that can handle it. It does only accept PNG files.
– NE now accepts any texture size. NE_SIZE_XXX defines removed as they are not needed now.
– Added a couple of examples.
