BarcodeZilla v0.8.9 (PPC Application)

BarcodeZilla is a Zxing based barcode decoding application which is enabled for product recognition (mainly intended for EAN-8 / EAN-13 and UPC barcodes) that will display information the origin country of the product and allows to download product information (if available) and to edit and upload product and price information for your country as well using a WCF webservice.

Actually the online database is still quite empty as the author been the only one to use it during the last days (it contains a few switzerland products) but he is sure that it can grow very quickly if everybody plays the game and uploads some products.

Changes:

Updated web services definition due to improvements on www.barcodezilla.net

Combating R4 Piracy On The DS (NDS misc)

Kris Graft over at Gamasutra conducted an interview with game developer Andrew Mclennan, CEO of Metaforic.

The article contains information about blocking R4 cards via code in commercial products, while keeping “homebrew users” out of this piracy circle. This sounds like a proper and clean solution, for those of us, who love to stick with homebrew and originals only.

Head over to Gamasutra for the full interview!

Rubido (Dingoo Game)

Aim of the game depends on the difficulty you selected but all difficulties have the same rules being basicly you select a peg, it will turn blue then select an empty spot. Between the empty spot and the peg you selected should be another peg so that the initally selected peg will jump over the “middle” peg and will be removed.

Depending on the difficulty you either have to end in the middle of the board with one peg left or on any location (also with one peg left). And you can “jump over pegs” diagonally, but that’s explained ingame as well on the difficulty select screen.

Bannerbomb (Alpha 1) (Wii Application)

The exploit dubbed as BannerBomb created by Comex is the only public way to load homebrew applications on a System Menu 4.0 Wii. The exploit was released on the 5th April 2009 through the IRC Channel #Wiidev. The exploit works by using a malformed banner to crash the wii loading the boot.dol placed in the root of the SD card. Currently this exploit does not allow the Homebrew channel to be installed due to the exploit that was used being blocked in 4.0. However, it can still be installed through BannerBomb on System Menu version 3.X.
