This software is a PSP porting of SUN open-source JavaME implementation: phoneME. The words below is copied from phoneME’s website to describe the project:

The objective of the phoneME project is to further expand the usage of Java? Platform, Micro Edition (Java ME platform) technology in the mobile handset market. The project scope includes a focus on the mainstream feature phone segment with phoneME Feature software, and the emerging advanced phone segment with phoneME Advanced software. Our goal in making these technologies available to the Mobile & Embedded Community is to reduce implementation variation, increase the rate of innovation and enable new devices to leverage the power of the Java ME platform.

The goal of pspME is porting phoneME to Sony PSP game console. As the first step, the authors goal is a phoneMEFeature PSP implementation, which can enable user to run JavaME application on CLDC.

Changes:

– Enable browse and select JAR from local file system, don’t have to input the full path name of JAR file now.
– A little optimization of RMS speed.
– Separate MIDI config and instrument files from binary bundle to decrease the size, and make you not have to download them for every release.

Gianas Return WIP (GP2x Game)

The Giana’s Return team just posted the following news:

Oh yes! Since today Giana’s Return features WARP ZONES… of course we can’t tell where they are ๐Ÿ˜‰ Every WARP ZONE allows to jump over 3 levels, which should be timesaving a lot.

Jiggy v0.23 (iPhone misc)

With just Jiggy and a browser, you’ll be able to write an awesome iPhone application in a matter of minutes. JiggyApps run natively on the iPhone, so there is no messing around with HTML and the limitations of Mobile Safari. At the same time, you don’t need a compiler or even a Mac, because JiggyApps are written in JavaScript.

Changes:

UITextField no longer has all the events it had before
– it only has onBecomeFirstResponder, onResignFirstResponder and onShouldInsertText
– the events it inherits from UIResponder are no longer valid
– this means that if, for example, you had code attached to its onTap handler it will no longer work
Added LKAnimation (you can now do flips, page curls and more)
– you can try it all out with the “superanimation” example (and look at the code)
Added UIView.addLayerAnimation
Fixed LKTransform to be initialized to the identity matrix
Added UIClippedImageView (tap events don’t seem to work)
UIHardware.statusBarHeight is now a read-write property.
Added global Application object
– change status bar modes
– set badges
– launch other applications, etc.
Added UISegmentedControl
Added UISliderControl
Added UISwitchControl
Added UIProgressIndicator
Added UIProgressBar
Added UIAlertSheet
Added UIImageAndTextTableCell
Added UIPickerView
Added UIPickerTableCell

Changes:

– Jpeg support
– MIDI support. Only one MIDI player can be started at same time. No sample sound support yet. But it obviously slows down the VM speed when music is playing, and start playing may take time, so plz be patient if it looks stuck while starting music :-p
Another side effect is the binary bundle is much larger than before for the MIDI soft wave table.
If you want to build from source, please ensure that you have SDL_mixer, libvorbis and libogg installed to your sdk environment.

NES.app v2.0.5 (NES emu for iPhone)

NES.app is a fully functional, feature-rich Nintendo emulator for Apple’s iPhone.

NES.app uses a heavily modified version of the InfoNES emulation core to mimic the 6502 processor in a Nintendo Entertainment System, allowing you to play ROM dumps of games designed for the NES console. ROM dumps are files containing the dumped instruction code from a physical cartridge. In many cases, you are legally entitled to posess a ROM dump of any game that you presently own. ROM images for NES are widely available online, or with the appropriate hardware, you can dump them yourself directly from the cartridge.

NES.app started as a fork of iPhoneNES v0.01, but has been completely rewritten to run very fast, and with many additional features including sound, multitouch support, full-screen, landscape mode, game genie codes, saved games and much more.

Changes:

Fixed Game Genie code saving
