WordStreamer (aka MiniMuncher) is a speed reading tool. t works on the principle that our brains only process text when our eyes are not moving. WordStreamer simply streams a text file a set number of words at a time, at a rate specified by you. Since your eyes are not traveling from line to line and across the page, this allows you to read at a faster rate in no time by simply pressing up to increase the rate at which the words are displayed.

You’ve got three basic colors : RED, BLUE and YELLOW.

You can mix two of them:
RED+BLUE=PURPLE
RED+YELLOW=ORANGE
BLUE+YELLOW=GREEN

Then you need to have the three basic colors on one single block in order to create a white block:
PURPLE + YELLOW = WHITE
RED + GREEN = WHITE
BLUE + ORANGE = WHITE

Once 3 white blocks are aligned, they disappear.

This J2ME porting can run java mobile phone games even better than the average phone and with more confortable controls, for example it can run DoomRPG, Worms 2007, 300, Company of Heroes, Rainbow Six Vegas, Destroy all Humans 2 ect fullspeed!

New in this release:

– Screen rotation now works properly even for 240×320 games that now can fit perfectly the gp2x screen
– Added a variable to choose when to launch a game with rotated screen or not
– Added Dungeon Dweller as sample game, it’s a great Roguelike and is freely downloadable here: http://roguelikedevelopment.org/dweller/
– Some minor bugs fixed

Now the porting needs *only* sound support for MIDP2 games, if you’re a developer interested in making a release or you just want to mess with the code follow the instructions and hints in the readme file.

News from Torch:

What does Hold+ do when the switch is enabled?

* Switches off the LCD backlight.
* Switches off the actual LCD screen.
(This is important because the backlight and actual screen are two different things. You can have an image being displayed on the screen while the backlight is switched off, such that you can see the image if you use a flashlight. You can also have the screen switched off while the backlight still illuminates the powered off screen.)
* Underclocks the CPU to 61MHz
(Sony has changed the clock speed functions such that only certain combinations of speeds work correctly. Simply trying to underclock to arbitrary values will result in the CPU simply running at the stock speed. I have verified that Hold+ successfully underclocks to 61MHz.)
* The original screen brightness and clock speed are restored when the Hold switch is released.
* Prevents the PSP from going into suspend mode if you accidently push the power switch too far when turning off Hold mode.
