Nintendo Needs Indies (NNI) (Nintendo misc)

Nintendo do have their “Seal of Quality”, but what does the homebrew scene got? Up till today possibly nothing.

From now on Jayenkai scans through the new NDS homebrew, picks out the best stuff and awards an NNI badge to anything that would live up to the scrutiny of Appleรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs Appstore.

NDS Music Player v1.0 (NDS Application)

KazoWAR updated “NDS Music Player”. It’s based on fincs’ SSEQ Player and allows to play music tracks from commercial games with a GUI browser pointing at the desired ROM file.

Release notes:

OK I released version 1.0. It should be a lot less buggy, but still not perfect. I used Team Fails idea and made a .sps file that is a shortcut file that is generated on your computer using SPS Maker.

I pretty much removed .nds loading and my file browser. It is now locked to /data/NDS Music Player/ and shows the list of .sps files. The files uses the games title name, example “POKEMON B.sps”.

This version prints stuff to the screen at each little step, in case of a freeze try to tell me what you where doing and the last line on the screen.

Also there is a little bug I am trying to work out where my string for the nds path is corrupted. If you get something like this, pressing B and trying to open the sps file again seems to solve it.

Retro Hunter #24 (misc)

Sven Vรƒยถรƒลธing presents another “Retro Hunter” Video-Podcast. Unfortunately it’s in German language only. Usually of interest for every Retro-Fan!

Quote:

Die letzte Folge unserer exklusiven Gamersglobal-Serie Retro Hunter liegt ja schon etwas zurรƒยผck, aber nun ist er wieder da. Und er hat sogar etwas mitgebracht von der gamescom. Was es zu gewinnen gibt, erfahrt ihr im Beitrag. Mit dem Klassiker verschlรƒยคgt es ihn diesmal mit Project Firestart in den Weltraum, wรƒยคhrend die Gurke, Laurel & Hardy, ihn schnell wieder auf den Boden zurรƒยผckholt. Aber da Ruhe nichts fรƒยผr den Retro Hunter ist, begibt er sich bei der Vorstellung des monatlichen GamersGlobal-Abo-Titels P.O.W.in ein Kriegsgebiet.
