NewDictS v0.7 (NDS Application)

Phillips released a working homebrew translator with fat support for DS several weeks ago . He only published it in chinese so it seems that it did not get attention from the english speaking community. The program, which is using stardict dictionary files (http://stardict.sourceforge.net/index.php), is currently running on R4 (Thanks Phillips!!), M3SD and SCSD.

Thanks to Uwe for the news.

Nethack (CaduHack R01) (GP2x Game)

This is a modification of Dzz’s splendid Nethack port by Cadu. This project aims at adding some missing commands from dzz’s nethack port, basically if you want to ascend in this seemingly impossible game you have to use *all* available tools.

Changes:

– Some banner stating that it’s a nethack port
– added the “clean” target in Makefile (source)
– added the “D” command to the menu (Drop with type selection/multi-item)
