I have released the first of a series of tech demos for my game BongDS. It is availiable for download at my site which can be found in my signature. There isn’t much gameplay yet, but i wanted to show the community what i have so far. Hope everyone enjoys it as much as i enjoyed making it.
EP has released yet another new version of the popular menu system uLaunchELF for the Sony Playstation 2. Using this homebrew program as your main ELF is common as it allows you to browse your hard drive, USB device, DVD/CD-ROM drive and memory cards to run homebrew and perform basic file manipulation functions.
Changes:
-Fixed a bug preventing detection of PAL/NTSC mode on some slim PStwo units.
(Now reads “rom0:ROMVER” instead of using gsKit’s function “gsKit_detect_signal”)
This is a plugin for PSP CWF 4.01M33-2 (not tested on earlier versions) that displays some basic info on screen.
Such as:
– FPS
– CPU/BUS speed and CPU usage
– notification on CPU speed change
– battery status (percent and time left)
– local time
Besides displaying info on screen this plugin can:
– change CPU speed
– take a screenshot
Changes:
– changed option ‘SHOW HUD’, besides switching off HUD display it is used to switch between display methods
– new every info part has it’s own custom position
– moving analog stick in menu, when positioned on FPS,CPU,BATTERY or TIME, will automatically switch that item to custom position

once in a while even a Kojote deserves vacation. I am heading off to Asia for a few weeks and definitely try to keep my online time as low as possible (56k dial-up ain’t fun anyway if you are used to 4mbit minimum).
KEDO ( http://www.planetkedo.de ) will take over the news. I am not quite sure how much and how regular he will post so let’s hope for the best. In the last few days he showed great support, I consider this a good sign ๐
Heading off for the airport in less than 30 hours, many things to arrange, many things to fix – usual headache.
A few people were not happy with the two D-Pads, which looked quite odd for most of us.
Gamepark Holdings decided to work out minor things, but these will result into a shipping delay of few weeks.
Read on what Evildragon told us earlier today:
Some of you may know GPH and me are currently at the IFA exhibition in Berlin.
We had quite some conversations during the last days – and I’m really happy to announce the following:
The 2nd DPad of the Wiz will be replaced with 4 proper buttons! AND the 2.5mm headphone jack will be replaced with a 3.5mm one.
So the only flaws I could see with this system will be fixed!
On the downside it means that the release of the Wiz will be delayed for 30 days (so it will be shipped in November), but I think that’s best.
If you like that decision, you can use this thread to thank GPH, as they will be reading it!
