libXM7 is a C library to play XM modules on Nintendo DS using only ARM7 resources (thus freeing your ARM9 from that task).

The use of XMs as a background music in your games allows much more flexibility compared to the old MOD format: more channels, multisample instruments, envelopes, panning and so on. In addition, the XM format is very well known and widespread among composers who compose music using their favourite tracker. Moreover, the reproduction of the tune will not use ARM9 resources as all the necessary elaboration is carried out by the ARM7. With LIBXM7 all you have to do is load the module and fire.

Changes:

[add] MOD support added for 4 and 8 channel modules subtypes:’M.K.’,’M!K!’,’FLT4′,’OCTA’,’CD81′,’FLT8′
[add] MOD support added for 1 to 16 channel modules subtypes:’TDZx’,’xCHN’,’xxCH’
[add] On-the-fly sample change feature, for ProTracker MOD modules
[add] It’s possible to select different replay modes
[add] It’s possible to select different panning modes and panning ‘apertures’
[XM7_LoadXM() ARM9 XM loading function:]
[bug] XM7_LoadXM() now will load instrument envelopes (both volume&panning) and settings (fadeout/autovibrato) even if the file has been saved with SkaleTracker

Woopsi is a Nintendo DS GUI library for rapidly creating user interfaces for homebrew software. Modelled after the AmigaOS windowing system.

Release notes:

Version 0.41 is now available.

This version contains the usual set of bugfixes, optimisations and new test projects. The SDL compatibility layer has been greatly improved in this release – I compiled a quick test for the GP2X F-200 and it now runs at the same speed as the DS version.

New features are limited to some more graphics functions. It is now possible to draw bitmaps in greyscale, and convert a region of a bitmap to greyscale.

Downloads available from SourceForge:

– Fixes:
– Removed Gadget::unregisterChildrenFromVBL() declaration from gadget.h as the function does not exist.
– Graphics::dim() draws to correct dimensions.
– GraphicsPort::dim() clips properly.
– BitmapButton::getPreferredDimensions() returns the correct size.
– AnimButton::getPreferredDimensions() returns the correct size.
– Anim button animation continues playing correctly when clicked if disabled.
– ListBox::getPreferredDimensions() returns the correct size.
– ListBox::draw() clips more effectively.
– Removed getEditableData() bodge from bitmap classes; all interaction with bitmap data happens through bitmap methods.
– Moved IK bitmaps out of demo folder/NDS into animbutton test.
– ScrollingListBox::getPreferredDimensions() returns the correct size.
– SliderHorizontal and SliderVertical produce correct values when they are showing a range of values large enough for the grip to be artificially enlarged.
– Scrollbar buttons scroll by amount based on max/min values and height of slider rather than arbitrary value.
– Removed ScrollbarVertical and ScrollbarHorizontal setButtonScrollAmount().
– AnimButton animations pause when the button is disabled.
– DMA copying function uses DMA for RAM->VRAM copies.

– New Features:
– SDL framebuffer code merged into FrameBuffer class.

– Added DOS batch files to build examples and tests.
