Frodo is a Commodore 64 emulator written by Christian Bauer ( http://frodo.cebix.net ). It was ported to the Wii by Simon Kagstrom and does not share any code with FrodoWii.

It has only been tested in 480i mode on a PAL TV (the 50Hz mode gives me a headache). Sound support is slightly buggy, but usable. The emulation is not perfect, so all games will not run under Frodo. If you have multiple versions of a game, try each of them as often at least one will work.

Put .t64 or .d64 files in /apps/frodo/images on your SD card. The in-game menu allows you to insert disks/tapes, load them and configure the display, joystick ports etc. Saves will be stored on the SD card and the preferences are stored persistently. Wiimote 1 is by default the joystick in port 1 and wiimote 2 the joystick in port 2, but you can swap this.

Changes:

– A virtual keyboard has been implemented, both for selecting key bindings and for typing things on screen
– Don’t load files which are zero-sized. This helps with some disk files where the first file is not the PRG one
– Some small bug fixes and pretty large code cleanup

bassacegold released DownFall for Nintendo DS.

Release notes:

Hey this is just a remake of my old BrickFall game. Instead of using predrawn platforms, everything is randomly generated. Here are the highlights for the release.

– DownFall is a fall down game for the DS. The object of the game is to last as long as you can by falling through platforms without hitting the top of the top screen.

– There are items in this game, some may help and others may act against you so be weary when you see the items drop in.

– This game is fully theme-able, you can view one of the current themes in the DownFall/Themes folder and drag and drop your own themes into the Themes folder.

– Music is formatted via Mario Paint Composer DS files. The game scans your card for the MPCSongs folder and will play all the songs out of there. These songs can be found at http://nds-help.com/mpcforum/

A Rubiks Cube game by EXTER.

Quote:

The Rubik’s Cube is a 3D mechanical puzzle invented in Ern? Rubik. In a classic Rubik’s Cube, each of the six faces is covered by 9 stickers, among six solid colors (traditionally white, red, blue, orange, green, and yellow). A pivot mechanism enables each face to turn independently, thus mixing up the colors. For the puzzle to be solved, each face must be a solid color.

The controls in this homebrew are designed to easily perform “Move notation” algorithms.

Allegro is a game programming library for C/C++ developers distributed freely. It provides many functions for graphics, sounds, player input (keyboard, mouse and joystick) and timers. It also provides fixed and floating point mathematical functions, 3d functions, file management functions, compressed datafile and a GUI.

Developer Diedel finally brought the long awaited Allegro to the Playstation Portable.

Release notes:

It’s based on the 4.3.10plus Allegro version. It’s near complete and ready to use for the final programmer.
Now you can program your PSP applications using Allegro and try to port the existing ones: http://www.allegro.cc/

As a young port it needs much testing so your feedback is expected and welcome. You can use the Allegro maling lists at http://alleg.sourceforge.net/maillist.html or the PS2dev forums. The spanish speakers can post in the PSP.SceneBeta forums.

Until the Allegro SVN repository is not updated with the PSP port patch you can download the Allegro library sources in the links section.

Thanks to MK2k ( http://www.mk2k.net ) for the news.

Pickle released an engine port, which can be used to play Wolfenstein 3D.

Because Wolfenstein 3D is showing swastika’s during ingame, we can not provide any links as it would be against german law. In particular it would be against paragraph 86 StGB “Verbreiten von Propagandamitteln verfassungswidriger Organisationen”.

Allthough this is just an engine port of Wolfenstein 3D, the game itself is still indexed.
