Books v1.2 (iPhone Application)

Books is a native eBook reader for the iPhone. Capable of reading HTML and plain text stored on your iPhone.

New in version 1.2!

Inline image support! The update you’ve been waiting for! Images smaller than 300 pixels wide will appear as-is; larger images are scaled to fit the iPhone screen. (Sorry, no zooming.) You can still look at individual images, pixel-for-pixel, from the file browser.

Improved sorting in the file browser! Your book files will always appear first in the list, over the images.

Cyrillic support. Thanks to Russian user Michael for pointing me to the correct text encoding.

iSwitcher v1.56 (iPhone Application)

iSwitcher is a theme / keyboad swapping iPhone application. iSwitcher is 100% compatible with SummerBoard (verified with all versions up to 2.1).

What’s new?

Faster and more useful iSwitcher can now install icons with spaces in their name. I realize this doesn’t sound like a big deal. Trust me, it is. ๐Ÿ˜€ Version 1.56 is also about 15% faster than v1.45 when loading icon themes and about 20% faster when loading keyboards. (nice…)

Custom Icons We can now load custom icons for each theme. Say you are using the 1984 theme and the next, “can’t do without it” iPhone app is released and you don’t have an icon to match. If the theme developer, or anyone creates a matching icon, all you have to do is put it into the “Icons” subfolder and when iSwitcher is loading that theme, it will install your new icon. This also applies to your own custom apps. I use four one button “dialer” apps and I have made custom icons for all the matching themes.

PSPoste v6.2 (Beta) (PSP Application)

Here is a new version of PSPoste the famous email client application for PSP written by David Cummings, Ben Biron and Sajeeth Cherian (see http://www.psposte.org for details).

What’s new then ? It has been linked with latest IR keyboard library (same as PSPIRC), and IR keyboard such as Palm should now work properly. Thanks to Mov from QJ for his help and test.

Beebem GP2x v0.5.1 (BBC Micro emu for GP2x)

A new version of BeebEm that fixes bugs found in version 0.5 (as discovered so far):

Changes:
* Multiple key-press keyboard bug fixed.
* File selector no longer crashes if the filename is too long.
* Sideways RAM save state bug fixed (Exile restores state correctly now).

Features:
* New GP2X stick handling options – see ‘Change stick mode’ on menu.
* File selection list now wraps round.
* Stick directions are now reversed in ‘flipped’ mode (as you would expect).
* Slight optimisation to audio – so hopefully it’s as fast as it was in version 0.4.

iR Shell v3.7 (PSP Application)

iR Shell v3.7 is a shell application for PSP.

New features:

* Added support for M33 3.71 CFW for PSP Phat.
* Screen redirection via Tyranid’s remotejoy. UMD Game compatibility has also been enhanced and save/load dialog boxes will no longer crash. Thanks to Tyranid for making this possible.
* 2 Player PSOne games via usbhostfs/nethostfs keypad direction using 2 PC joysticks/keyboard. Screen redirection via remotejoy is also supported for PSone games.
* Support for M33 popsloader when iR Shell running under M33 3.52 CFW. Only the latest verion popsloader is supported (that is, the one for pops from 3.00 to 3.52). All other previous versions of popsloader won’t work with iR Shell. If you’re running iR Shell under M33 3.71, the “POP Version” setting in iR Configurator is ignored. This is due to popsloader currently doesn’t work with M33 3.71 due to changing NIDs by Sony.
* Support for M33 UMD Video ISO feature under iR Shell File Browser. This will also work with USBHostFS & NETHostFS. Again, for legally owned backups only.
* The number of iR Shell EBOOTs for various firmwares have been consolidated into just 2. One for firmware 1.5, and the other for firmware 2.x/3.x. This should make it earier for users.
* A new autoboot seplugin is introduced to replace the old “irsfw30x.prx”. This plugin will work under all firmware versions, including 3.71.
