Locations v0.3.1 (iPhone Application)

Locations – a native iPhone application to watch webcam images whenever you want and wherever you are.

Release notes:

I got my test iPod Touch yesterday and was able to dig down the problem Locations v0.3.0 had within 30 minutes. Nice. So here you go: Locations 0.3.1 is now again supporting (as far as I know) all devices in all versions. Am I wrong? Let me know in the comments.

Locations 0.3.1 is available in STE repository which is part of the community sources available by default when installing the Installer.app. Please support Ste by donating for his hard work. Since I bought an iPod Touch especially for testing purposes, donations would also be very much appreciated!

Thank you and enjoy!

Update: Sadly there are some (new) known issues with this release:

[new]: Main รขโ‚ฌล“Locationsรขโ‚ฌย list view is too short, the last location is only visible by half
[known but detected only now]: Search does not show any results, if the user switched on another search result page with a previous search
[new]: Massimo reported that adding more than 7 locations manually will result in the following message: รขโ‚ฌล“not pointing to a valid imageรขโ‚ฌย (not able to confirm that one yet). Just got another report that the issue is solved after the iPod rebooted.
[known]: Scrolling too much (in my case 99 times) in the widescreen mode crashes the app

PDRoms Coding Competition 3.99 – Deadline moved – 2 weeks left (misc)

Currently we do have a coding competition here on PDRoms. Some people requested an extention of the deadline ( //phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=420 ) so we go for a new deadline at 9th March.

Competition running time: 24th January 2008 to 2nd March 2008
Deadline NEW: Sunday, 9th March 2008 @ 23:59, in YOUR timezone!

Topic: Create any kind of childproof game (no pr0n, racisms, extraordinary violence and adult humour, …) by using maximum four colors only on screen at once per scene (this could be a level, menu, etc) (also applies for dual screen systems – 2 screens count as one unit). Black, white, grey do count as color! You can choose your four colors freely. If your game features music and/or sound fx is up to you.

Good luck!

GP2xpectrum v1.7 (Spectrum emu for GP2x)

Seleuco and Metalbrain updated their Spectrum emulator GP2xpectrum.

Changes:

What’s new:
the big stuff added by Seleuco:
– Full tzx support. New tape code for tap and tzx formats.
– Added Tape sound emulation.
– “fast loading” option to disable speed emulation, tape sound, and contended mode while the game is loaded.
– “flash loading” option to flashload tape blocks when possible.
– “edge loading” option to accelerate game loaders dynamically.
– “Tape Auto Play/Stop” option to play/stop the tape automatically. Best for multilevel games.
– A yellow play label is shown on the screen while the tape is playing; if the label is green, the emulator has detected a loader
and is applying the “edge loader” algorithm.
– Auto “full screen off-on” when the tape is playing.
– Added a Tape browser to view/select tape blocks, play/stop the tape manually and to change the tape without resetting the speccy.
– Added the possibility to select the file to load from a zip file.
– Resized the program selection screen to allow longer file names and view the file extensions.
my humble contribution (Metalbrain):
– Added reset for +2A mode.
– Fixed a bug when loading .z80 files saved in +2A/+3 mode (the ROM wasn’t properly selected).
– To improve performance, the battery won’t get polled on F100 models when battery icon is inactive, and it gets polled less frequently when active.
– Replaced the text “ROM LIST” with “PROGRAM LIST”, and “+3 disc” with “+3 disk”.
– Updated documentation.
and the finishing touch by headoverheels:
– Compiled with profiling option.
