Mario Paint Composer DS (29-10-2008) (NDS Application)

Mario Paint Composer DS is an indirect remake of the music composer tool found in the Super Nintendo game “Mario Paint” with a few new adaptations.

Changes:

-Fixed the D sharp note to play the right sound
-Fixed end of song detection
-Removed the appearance of being able to place notes while a song is playing
-Last song saved/loaded’s file name will be remembered in the save menu so you don’t have to retype it out
-Can now cycle through all note states with the D-pad (meaning you can make the note natural,sharp or flat rather then just sharp and flat)
-More error checking for FAT operations (Checks if mpcsongs folder is on card, if not then will create the folder. Also detects if FAT was initialized properly)
-Better eraser controls (Double Tap note to delete it)
-can now save author name in file
-When loop is turned on, will loop from last note played rather then the end of the last page
-increased max tempo and tweaked the tempo slider a bit
-Added High A, High A Sharp, High B and High C notes
-prevents users from typing restricted symbols in filename (while saving)
-Can view other pages on top screen using L and R to scroll through pages (hold L or R to scroll faster)
-News system! Click the envelope button (make sure wifi is configured)
-Note type selection tweaks
-saving compatibility hopefully fixed
-new graphics
-Running/jumping mario at the top now

Pixelman v0.93.0b (NDS Application)

Sylus101’s Pixelman is a sprite designing, testing and animation tool directly to be used on your Nintendo DS. This tool makes it easy to develop on the go!

The release has been made public at the PALib forums, which need registration to grab a file, if you don’t want to, you may consider getting the file free of charge and registration from //files/1882/

Changes:

*Moved tools around on main bottom screen and shortened the screen switch bar. This is still highly subject to change…
*Completely re-wrote the file browser portion. You can now look through the entire flash card. You can even create new folders when saving sprites and palettes.
*New tools, line, gridshift, and 90 degree grid rotation.
*Arena mode for testing sprites animations and movement.
*Added a “done” button to screen after sprite and palette are loaded. Pressing start still continues as well.

Thanks to http://www.nintendomax.com for the changelog!

Poulpis Adventure (28-10-2008) (WIP) (NDS Game)

Masamune is working on a Jump&Run game for Nintendo DS called “Poulpis Adventure”.

Quote:

For now scrolling, display and the counting of lives and the collision on the various platforms are fully managed. Programming for the creation of objects and enemies is almost complete, it remains to correct two small bugs, I add a new video to show progress.
