PocketCAS is a free interface to the open-source Computer Algebra System giac/xcas.

xcas enables you to quickly solve complex algebraic problems, e.g. symbolic and numeric integration and derivation of non-trivial functions, solving differential equations etc. It has also a huge support for problems of linear algebra, like solving linear equation systems, multiplying and inverting matrices, finding eigenvalues (and eigenvectors, of course) and much more. If you do statistics or number theory, you will like xcas’ great functionality in those areas, too!

Changes:

Changed integration function from int(…) to integrate(…) in keyboard.xml. This shows an integration symbol in TeX output.
Added images for the following functions: sqrt, approx, backspace, newline

Puff and Blow each have a Methane Gas Gun which fires a cloud of immobilising gas. If this comes into contact with a bad guy he will be absorbed into the gas and then float around the screen for a limited time. Bad guys are harmless in this state.

Puff and Blow must suck the floating gas clouds into their guns and blast them out against a vertical surface. Bad guys then turn into bonuses which can be collected. Be warned! – the gas cloud dissolves with time after which baddies become active again and extremely annoyed.

This is a PSP adoptation of Super Methane Brothers, a commercial Amiga platformer by Apache Software Ltd. The port is based on V1.4.8 of a linux conversion of the game by Mark Page.

Features:
– 1 or 2 player game
– More than 100 levels
– Numerous bosses
– Secret rooms
– Lots of powerups
– Cheats (to be revealed later)

ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!

Some of the adventures ScummVM supports include Adventure Soft’s Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2; Revolution’s Beneath A Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1 and Broken Sword 2; Flight of the Amazon Queen; Wyrmkeep’s Inherit the Earth; Coktel Vision’s Gobliiins; Westwood Studios’ The Legend of Kyrandia and games based on LucasArts’ SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) system such as Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max and more.

Changes:

– proper fullscreen video mode
– multiple graphic modes with different overscan values
– “fullscreen mode” stretches the picture on 16:9 displays
– fixed broken sword 1/2 gfx garbage
– support for setShakePos()

ZodTTD has posted some work in progress news about his VLC port to the iPhone.

Quote:

A small but very important update has been made to the vlc4iphone beta.

All beta testers of vlc4iphone should update!

Here’s what is new in vlc4iphone v0.9.9 BETA:
– A bug was fixed that prevented many users from playing most their files! If a file didn’t play before, be sure to try now!
– The bug preventing iPod Touch users from changing the volume has been fixed.

This update is highly recommended, as most files were being skipped in a playlist, played out of sync, or not played at all!

Next up…a gpSPhone update,
ZodTTD
