Task Facade v3.8.0.2 (PPC Application)

Task Facade, previously known as Dynamo 3, is a cool, animated task manager for your PocketPC 2003/05/06 device. Say goodbye to boring text lists of running programs and instead manage your programs by sliding in images of all your running applications onto your screen. For each program on your device an image is saved and when you click the hotkey they all zoom onto your screen. Simply click the one you want and it will increase to fill the screen. Quickly seeing all the running programs is far more efficient than having to read through a text-based task list so Task Facade can make task switching a much faster, and cooler, experience.

Task Facade also allows you to quit programs from inside the image view meaning that it does everything your old text-based program manager could do.

As well as just looking generally cooler, Task Facade offers far more customization than before and allows the whole application to be controlled using either your PDAs hardware keys or the stylus.

Changes:

# Fix: Task Facade activation after closing another program caused to exception
+ New mode in tile display: Dead Process, currently marked with the Jolly Roger. These are the processes that died after Task Facade was activated. You can see them, but cannot select.

***BEFORE INSTALL***: Before installing version 3.8, uninstall the previous version AND MANUALLY REMOVE THE ‘TASK FACADE’ FOLDER from Program Files’. You do not need its old content.

GxGeo v0.5 (NeoGeo emu for Wii)

GxGeo is a Neo-Geo Emulator for the Wii based on GnGeo by pepone. GnGeo is coded in C and uses the SDL multimedia library.

Release notes:

– Today I am happy enough with GxGeo to release it, the source code is a mess so I if you’d like it ask me for it – I’d rather not spread messy code and bad examples 🙂
– I have only tested this release on a PAL SDTV but it should fit on an NTSC SDTV, no idea about HDTV hehe
– There are still some sound issues, maybe just with PAL.. I’m not sure, more testing is required
– This release will boot some large ROMs but not all of them will run at full speed – Metal Slug 2 is one of these
– Larger ROMs (Metal Slug 3) will still not load – some kind of paging system is required 🙂

Thanks to www.nintendomax.com for the news.
