If you can’t avoid the critters, or you need to relieve a little stress, you can always Squish ‘Em instead!

This homebrew enables you to protect your PSP with a password.

Changes:

-PSP SLIM and lite now supported (and so is the HX firmware)
-Added a new function: a historic: it registers in PSP/SYSTEM/hist.txt the day and hour when you logged in and if the password was accepted or not (and if it wasn’t accepted, it tells you what the “thief” typed as a password.
-Now, even if there is no password set, the prx works and writes the connection times in the hist.txt file
-You can now go from “a” to “z” directly.
-In the XMB, press square to accept (to avoid launching the umd by pressing cross…)

Woopsi is a Nintendo DS GUI library for rapidly creating user interfaces for homebrew software. Modelled after the AmigaOS windowing system.

Release notes:

A few more changes, the most interesting being:

– Skinnable screens and windows.
– Animation class and animated buttons.
– Support for 1bpp font bitmaps.

Here’s the complete changelog:

VirusChaser is about preventing a virus from escaping !

Each turn, you can plot a single wall to try and block the virus, and it’ll then move 1 tile towards the exit…

Each time you manage to capture it’ll, you’ll have to restart with 1 less wall at the beginning… How good a Virus Chaser can get?

Thanks to Mollusk for the news.
