The name’s the deal – this changes your wallpaper for the XMB, no more, no less.
Changes:
Fixed some lockups during start
Fixed another conflict with wavepapers in “Once per day” mode
added PTF changing/randomizing
Added two PC based (Windows) tools for making propper 01-12.bmp replacements (background behind XMB waves) and perfect 480x272x24 PSP wallpapers you can then use with the Wallpaper-Changer.
Both tools take various image formats in any possible resolution as source images and should make most converting tasks very easy (two mouseclicks, and you’re set )

Here is a simple application that can compute 4 (well actually, 5) different algebraic values. They are:
1) Slope of a line in standard form
2) Y-intercept of a line in standard form
3) Determinant of a 2×2 matrix
4) Determinant of a 3×3 matrix
5) Solution of a system of 2 equations with 2 variables each*
* In other words, it finds the intersection of two lines in standard form.

ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!
Some of the adventures ScummVM supports include Adventure Soft’s Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2; Revolution’s Beneath A Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1 and Broken Sword 2; Flight of the Amazon Queen; Wyrmkeep’s Inherit the Earth; Coktel Vision’s Gobliiins; Westwood Studios’ The Legend of Kyrandia and games based on LucasArts’ SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) system such as Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max and more. You can find a thorough list with details on which games are supported and how well on the compatibility page. ScummVM is continually improving, so check back often.
Release notes:
ScummVM continues to leap forward in a leap year, and we are pleased to announce the next shiny bugfix release of the project.
As usual, it holds a number of improvements, it’s more stable, and it should bring you even more fun than 0.11.0.
We fixed the digital iMUSE system (better COMI experience), King’s Quest 4 bugs were squashed, and support for fanmade AGI games has been improved; Lure of the Temptress, Inherit the Earth and I Have no Mouth all work better since we fixed several crashes, lock-ups and all such buzzwords.
As a special bonus we are glad to announce the return of the BeOS port and the deeply missed Playstation 2 port.
Changes 0.11.1 (2008-02-29):
Ports:
– Revived the PS2 port.
– Revived the BeOS port.
SCUMM:
– Improvements for Digital iMUSE subsystem. This fixes several glitches in The Curse of Monkey Island.
– Fixes for cursors in HE games.
AGI:
– Fix for zombies in King’s Quest 4.
– Fix for changing palettes in fanmade games using AGIPAL.
Lure:
– Fixed some conversation crashes in the German version.
– Fixed operation of the optional copy protection dialog in the German version.
– Added saving of conversation flags as to whether a particular conversation option had been previously selected or not.
– Fixed glitch that could cause transformation sparkle to happen a second time.
– Fixed behavior of Goewin when you rejoin her after meeting the dragon.
SAGA:
– Fix for rat maze bug in Inherit the Earth which made game not completable.
– Fixes for Inherit the Earth and I Have no Mouth game startup on a number of platforms.
– Reduced the number of simultaneous open files in I Have no Mouth, to allow it to run on platforms that can keep a limited amount of files open (e.g. on the PSP).
– Fixed graphics glitch in Inherit the Earth with simultaneous speech.
– Fixed palette glitch in Inherit the Earth when looking at the map while at the docks.
