Simsu v1.3.4.5 (Pandora Game Port)

Simsu is a basic Sudoku game. You can switch between filling in notes (pencil mode), or filling in answers (pen mode). To make it easier to see where to place numbers, you can highlight all instances of a number. You can also check your answers for correctness while playing. The game stores your current notes and answers, so that you can pick up where you left off the next time you play. Ported to Pandora by magic_sam.

Changes:

– Removed previous useless changes
– Provided a default configuration file with widescreen mode ON (you still have to maximize the window though)
– Replaced initial seed from my configuration file with a “random enough large number” (nanoseconds, i.e `date +%N`)

mGBA v0.6.1 (GBA emu for PSV)

mGBA is a Game Boy Advance emulator written in C. The project started in April 2013 with the goal of being fast enough to run on lower end hardware than other emulators support, without sacrificing accuracy or portability. Even in the initial version, games generally play without problems. It is loosely based on the previous GBA.js emulator, although very little of GBA.js can still be seen in mGBA.
