Changes:

New options to let left-handed users play the game more comfortably.
Corrected an obscure bug that does not let you read back your best scores table in certain media cards.

Colors (Final) (Fix 3) (NDS Game)

NightFox has released an update of his puzzle game Colors. It plays similar to Columns, where you need to bring three identical colored gems, into a vertical or horizontal row, to let them disappear.

Release notes:

Hi!

I just started to use EFS 2.0. and recompiled my game to use it. Now my game is in only 1 file. And savegame file it’s built-in also. Now this works also with NO$GBA, working perfect (well, not save), mp3 music too. If you find any bug (it’s first time i use EFS) please report to me. The only thing is now load files takes a little more time.

Regards
Fox

DSFrotz v2.0 (Alpha) (NDS misc)

papafuji updated his Nintendo Z-Machine interpreter “DS-Frotz”.

From Wikipedia:
The Z-machine is a virtual machine that was developed by Joel Berez and Marc Blank in 1979 and used by Infocom for its text adventure games. Infocom compiled game code to files containing Z-machine instructions (called story files, or Z-code files), and could therefore port all its text adventures to a new platform simply by writing a Z-machine implementation for that platform. With the large number of incompatible home computer systems in use at the time, this was an important advantage over using native code (or developing some compiler for each system).

New features:

– games data read directly from your cart
– new input & keyboard features
– new design & multi-size and accentuated fonts
– user customization via the .ini files
– a lot of drawing and input bugs killed
