Explosive Gas is fairly straightforward, be the last man standing (and not on fire) to get a point. The controls are simple as well, use the D-Pad to move around, and hit any button to drop a bottle of hooch. When you start the game you can only drop one bottle and the flames from the explosion will only travel one square. Two powerups can be found in the old boxes and crates that are lying around, a can of gas, which will increase the range of your flames, and a two-four, which will allow you to drop more bottles at once.

Release notes:

Well, it’s been over a year since the last Explosive Gas update, so here you go. The only thing noticeably different in this version is a second map layout. This new map has some holes on the upper level that are useful for surprise dive bombs on people below. Just watch that you don’t fall into a dead end. Enjoy.

In Mastermind DS you should try in eight attempts, to guess the order and colour of four marbles. To your help you get stars each turn.

Silver tells you that one of your marbles has the right colour but not the right position, and gold tells you that one of your marbles both has the right colour and the right place.

It’s up to you to find the right code with the hints you get!

Changes:

* 1.22 – Stability – check! (+ flashing HighScore-row)

Here a little update to jEnesisDS, Lordus’ Genesis/MegaDrive emulator for the Nintendo DS.

Changes:

– Changed scheduling of M68000 and Z80.
– Some changes in M68000 internal memory handlers.
– YM2612 FM core mostly rewritten in ASM.
– Some bugs in FM core fixed (Operator 1 was sometimes not considered in certain cases).
– Fixed reset bug for FM core resulting in unstable sound for every game loaded except the 1st one.
– Raised sample rate for FM emulation from 16KHz to 28KHz (28, because a few games can’t do 32KHz)
– Sound is completely mixed in hardware now, meaning every FM channel, PSG and DAC have their own DS sound channels.

silent_code updated the Volumetric Shadow (Tech)Demo (formerly know as the “Stencil Shadow Demo” and later “Volume Shadow Demo”). This version is very likely to be the final one.

The demo shows how to use a bunch of NDS features and some otherwise handy lines of source code, like:

– Hardware accelerated volumetric shadowing – mini-tutorial included!
– Motion blur with video capture, using only one VRAM bank, at 60 FPS
– Hardware lighting, texturing, fogging, antialiasing etc.
– Display brightness control
– Viewport scissoring (thanks to gabebear)
– Loading binary and text files from disk
– Converting 24/32bit .tga image data to 16bit NDS textures
– Displaying a custom font and a text area over a background image, all loaded from disk
– Smooth touch input
– Simple frame rate counting and renderer status display
