Lordus has also updated his Sega Master System emulator ApprenticeMinusDS.

Features so far:

– Enhanced Z80 ASM core used in jEnesisDS.
– SMS/GG emulation.
– 10 Savestates per game.
– Rewind and fast forward feature.
– Settings can be saved per game.
– Fully rendered by the DS 2D hardware.
– Perfect sync option, that actually syncs every scanline (emulated scanline to DS scanline).
This option is more accurate, and needed for some games to look correctly, but it can be problematic to use it, when “Rewind” is enabled.
– sample accurate (almost ;P) PSG emulation.
– Stereo sound for GG games.

Known issues:

– timing is not exactly correct yet, so some games might not work, or have glitches.
– No FM emulation (yet?)
– Sprite updates need to be improved, sometimes there can be glitched sprites atm.
– Interface practically ripped from jEnesisDS 😉
– Many more, that i don’t remember now…

Here a little update to jEnesisDS, Lordus’ Genesis/MegaDrive emulator for the Nintendo DS.

Changes:

– Fixed bug in Z80 core, preventing some games from having sound (Wonderboy, etc.).
– Fixed bug in 68000 optimization, that could make some games hang (Bonanza Brothers, etc.).
– Changed sound handling and doubled sample rate for PCM sound, resulting in slightly better sound quality.
– HW renderer partially rewritten, many glitches should be gone, some are still there (and will probably not be easy to fix ever)
– Sprite rendering completely rewritten in ASM. Should be faster and fix most of the sprite issues.
– Implemented mid frame palette updates (water effects in Sonic games, Castlevania, etc.). Note, that this just works, if a game is constantly fast enough, so slowdowns can still cause colors to flicker.
– Many little optimizations in memory handling and the CPU cores. Should reduce slowdowns.
– Added option for sprite masking (Landstalker etc.). It is not 100% emulated, just faked to be enough for most games using it (disable it, if sprites are missing, that should be there).
– Added option to change between 3- and 6-Button pad (just works, if the option is applied BEFORE loading a game). When 6-Button pad is disabled, L+R can be used to move the visible screen area, X to center it.
– Added sound state to the savestates, so that the correct tracks should play now when a state is loaded. Savestates are still not 100% reliable and loading old states can potentially cause problems.

Virtualball is on half way to bring us Chip’s Challenge to the iPhone/iPod Touch, in form of “Tile World”.

Tile World is an emulation of the game “Chip’s Challenge”. “Chip’s Challenge” was originally written for the Atari Lynx by Chuck Sommerville, and was later ported to MS Windows by Microsoft (among other ports).

Would you like to jot down notes on your iPhone’s gorgeous touch screen? Are you missing a way to sketch a simple diagram as a quick reminder? Will your children like to draw on your iPhone, maybe on top of a picture you shoot with the camera? Sketches is a native iPhone application that will allow you to do all that. Scribble your thoughts quickly, select a picture from your photo album to draw notes on top, or shoot a photo of your friend just for the sake of putting a moustache on her face 🙂 You can even erase your drawing by shaking your iPhone, as if it were an etch-a-sketch!

The first time you run ToggleBacklight, it saves your current Backlight level, and sets the level to the minimum.

Each time you run it afterwards, it saves the current level and switches back to the previous level.

This allows you to easily toggle between two backlight levels – set the level you want, run the app, then set the second level you want.

To install, unzip the folder, copy the folder and contents into /Applications on the iPhone, then set executable permissions on the ToggleBacklight executable file itself.

Lexitron is a fast-paced word game built around anagrams. The object of the game is to find as many words as you can in the time limit, but be careful– if you fail to find at least one word that uses all six letters, the game is over and you can’t move on to the next round.
