This is a work in progress of Animan’s personal favorite arcade game. Right now, it’s very early, with only the car, track with no collision detection yet, and 10 flags.

This one is a modified version by SeaGtGruff, which might work better than the original release from 30th August 2009.

SNES4iPhone is a fully featured Super Nintendo (SNES) emulator for the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch! SNES4iPhone is based off Notaz’s excellent DrPocketSNES emulator.

Changes:

Hi everyone!

Lots of ZodTTD activity behind the scenes as of late. The first to be reported on is snes4iphone. It received two major updates since I last reported on it.

As you may already know, snes4iphone is my port of the Super Nintendo emulator named PocketSNES to the iPhone and iPod Touch series of devices. I had recently updated it to v4.0.0. It was a nice update but I couldn’t stop there. I was able to save and restore the R9 register properly within the assembly emulation “cores” used in PocketSNES (with credit due to Notaz for his great work writing the assembly CPU core).

So what does this all mean? It means I release v5.0.0 of snes4iphone which gives massive performance increases. The hand written assembly code produced very noticeable performance gains.

Even better, previous save states are compatible, SRAM saves now work, and the user interface has been made to match the gpSPhone updates. This means 1000’s of ROMs can be loaded, and tons of other fixes. You also now have the option to smooth scale (hardware scaling filter) the screen. It does lower performance a bit though.

Any downsides? Well yes. Super Mario RPG is no longer compatible. I will look into this.

Note that enabling transparencies in the settings menu may be needed to overcome graphical glitches in games. It’s disabled by default for performance reasons.

Hope you enjoy!
ZodTTD

AVEC is a Vector map viewer capable of displaying and navigating mapss in the common Polish format maps. If the map file has street information, the program tells you what street you are in, or lookup the name of a street selected with the crosshair.

Release notes:

Hi Guys,

Here is the release of AVEC GPS V3 (1.50 kernel) version. I’m still looking for a company to sponsor me with a PSP-290 GPS accessory so newer firmware versions can be supported with a live GPS mode.

This one can track your position on the map in real time with any serialy connected GPS device compatible with the MapThis! program, including Garmin and Hollux brand recievers.

V3 also has a “Find Place by Name” feature that will find any place on the map. The text entry system for this feature has auto complete like commercial GPS units.

A Windows MP Conversion Tool is included with this release for producing files of the new MPI type which allow fast searching for real time GPS navigation.

MP files can also be converted with AVEC on the PSP, but the PC program is much faster.

Keep an eye out for updates, and please vote for AVEC in the Neoflash 2009 Coding Competition. If I win any cash prize, it will be used to purchase the PSP-290 USB GPS so support for it can be implemented in a future version.

Cheers, Art.
