CyBeRCeD is working on GeoDS for Nintendo DS.

Release notes:

My new project is Geodis. this homebrew is actually an application to increase awareness of the department of France. Of course, later there will be a kind of test where we must guess the name of the department displayed.

In the meantime, I will let you test and I await your impressions and ideas.

~ Tanks to GuSec, Cas & everyone else who tested the server with me-
– LAN Play removed because it is too much work to keep the online-server that small it can be run while playing
– Player limit set to 10 [Performance reasons… It was just too much ]
– Removed the keyboard code~ (Since its not used anymore)

MIDI-Jammer turns your DS into a wireless MIDI Controller. It lets you “draw” musical ideas and shapes in a manner that is both easy to pickup for a non-musician and also consistent/coherent enough that those who are trained musicians can have a high-degree of MIDI control through the interface.

Changes:

I just upgraded it and added a preset feature, and I’m officially labeling this the 3.0 release. The basic thing is that you can now set presets to directions / buttons and choose them by holding them down (similarly to Jam Sessions). I have created a documentation README.txt that’s bundled in with the new release at my site.

Touhou DS by Spuzkaizer is a Shoot Em Up game for Nintendo DS.

Changes:

bugfixes:
– Shows an error message instead of silently crashing in the case of a broken installation.
– The current score was added to the list of high-scores twice if you used restart or quit after losing all your lives.
– Pausing the game stopped the music, it now only stops sound effects.
– After completing all stages, the game sometimes crashed.
– Script errors in stages other than the first weren’t shown to the user.
– After a boss’ spellcard finishes, -all- enemy projectiles are now destroyed, not just those of the ENEMY_SHOT type.
– Instead of overwriting the default textures, user-specified textures were added -after- the existing textures. This limited the max. texture memory to 32KB.

improvements:
– Internal script compiler now does basic type-checking.
– Meaningful error messages in the script compiler.
– Added (beta) support for downloading additional characters from within the game using wifi.
– Rewrote a large portion of the scripting manual.
– Support for multiple routes per game. Routes are commonly used to create a selectable difficulty setting.
– The score overview shown at the end of every stage works now.
– Both stages and routes can now be locked/unlocked. Read the manual for more info.
– Added a third stage.
