DScent v4.2 (Alpha) (NDS Game Port)

kayvenm has updated his port of Descent to the NDS again.

Release notes:

It seems most errors are occurring because of the lack of memory so I’ve add some code to check that and flush some cache memory when it occurs, so there maybe some more slow downs when cache is emptied/refilled but hopefully less crashes as a result. Also, this build is more optimized compiler-wise, so frame rate should be steadier.

DS Weather Report v0.5 (NDS Application)

Stravingo has updated his weather forecast application for the NDS.

Changes:

– Bugfix: pressing Y for help made the program freeze. It is now corrected.
– Updating data with button X was no longer necessary as data is automatically downloaded when switching for the first time between names/icons/temperatures with button A. So, this function has been disabled.
– Button X is now used to switch between metric units and english units. Yes, you american people (and others), you can now have temperatures in Fahrenheit, distances in miles, speeds in mph, etc.
– To accentuate the look of a weather channel, scrolling news headlines are displayed at the bottom of the lower screen. These headlines are live RSS streams coming from various sources: BBC.co.uk, Meteo-world.com, GameSpot.com, PAlib.info, etc. A total of 10 RSS streams are available, but other will be added. You can switch RSS streams by pressing with the stylus on the scrolling headlines.

DS85 r3 (TI85 emu for NDS)

David Rorex has posted an update to DS85 to his page, it’s a TI85 emulator for the NDS.

Release notes:

Someone has added DLDI support to my old TI-85 Emulator. I don’t have any exotic devices, so I can’t say how well it works. Let me know if it works / doesn’t work on your particular device.

Thanks to http://www.dev-fr.org for the news.

ScummVM DS v0.10.0a (NDS misc)

ScummVM is an interpreter that allows you to play many point and click adventure games from the 80s and 90s on modern computers. I didn’t write ScummVM, that honour goes to the ScummVM team. ScummVM runs games from Lucasarts that were created using the SCUMM system (hence the name) but it has also been expanded to run games from many other developers too. ScummVM is written in portable C++ and has been ported to many differnet platforms, and I have made a port of it to the DS. This means that you can play all these classic games on the DS with full sound.

Changes:

New engines supported: AGI, CINE, and SAGA.
Option to show the mouse cursor
Word completion on keyboard for AGI games
Plenty of optimisations
Numerous bug fixes
