Here is a new release of AFKIM (Away From the Keyboard Instant Messenger), the instant messaging application for PSP written by Danzel !
(see http://localhost.geek.nz/)

The server im.bitlbee.org is down and it doesn’t appear even in DNS. Unfortunately it is the default Bitlbee server used by afkim and there is no way to create a new account using afkim in any other Bitlbee server.
(You have to do it by yourself using any IRC client).

In this new version of afkim you can specify in afkim.cfg file the public Bitlbee server / port you want to connect to. The afkim.cfg file try now to connect you to im.codemonkey.be when using a new account (you have to rename or remove the bitlbee.cfg file first).

Special thanks to BLacKyyy* for his feedback on im.bitlbee.org server issue.

kevcal released his shooter game Abduction.

Release notes:

Well I started this well over a year ago and had 6 months off due to work commitments.. (still ongoing).
Thought I’d never release it, but here it is – hopefully it’s enjoyable for a quick blast (20 Levels).

I’ve taken Eugene Jarvis’s arcade games as inspiration, so expect some very frenetic blasting in later levels.

I’m sure improvements can be made – I have ideas to take the project further but they’ll have to wait for another time.

dDJs by Braware is a DJ Table for Nintendo DS.

Release notes:

If you don’t know yet, dDJs is a Disc Jockey Table. In this new version, which is called dDJs Silver, there are too many new features. Now you can loop the beats by pressing the new green button, or even make them beat the way you want, using the pink button. Rate, PAN and Delay added. The disc now scratch really realist (there’s no sample faking it!). You can pause the MP3 now. Two new control bars added, using them you can make the Drum and Cymbal even more precise.

Options added. Choose Surround or Normal sound, or just change the themes. I must tell that there’s a problem with the themes, I couldn’t fix it yet, but as soon as I can I’ll do it.

What about the extras? One of them is a pair of Bongos, it sounds really good to play along with your MP3. And there is a Flute, its really fantastic, because you can play it just BLOWING while you hold a button, which are the notes.

A Connect4 game by stelek for Nintendo DS.

Release notes:

I’ve been playing with the devkitARM for some time now and I implemented my first DS game. It’s a computer version of the well known board game “Connect Four”. The game has 3D graphics (not that it’s very nice…) and three levels of difficulty. I tested it on my DSLite with Acekard 2 and on the No$Gba emu. Feel free to give it a try

This program relates to an obsolete Pay TV encryption system and is not intended to aid in pay television piracy in the present day.

Release notes:

It could be used to make a very strong file encryptor, which is what I intend to do. I just completed the encrypt algorithm today (it is the decrypt you see in the current video). The current download link shows that.

What I intend to do is keep the source public, so everyone can see the crypt algorithms, but it would still take a worldwide distributed computing effort to brute force the key.
