On its own, Alocola is a simple application that uses the iPhone’s location-services to present your position, altitude, speed and course. When paired with a website, Alocola enables the website to be “location aware.”

Alocola is a “web helper” application that lets users provide their location information when websites ask for it.

Alocola works with Safari, the built-in web browser. With Alocola, web developers don’t need to create their own iPhone app. Users simply browse in Safari the way they normally would; when a site asks for location information Alocola pops up, asks permission to give the location to the site, returns to Safari and passes the location along as part of the URL.

Zodttd has updated VLC4iPhone.

Changes:

Turning off audio with –no-audio set to ‘on’ will remove all audio decoding with a huge increase in performance on many videos, making some videos that weren’t playable before.
–ffmpeg-lowres will greatly improve performance by decoding video at a lower resolution, at the expense of visual quality.
–ffmpeg-skip-frame will skip B frames if turned on.
–no-drop-late-frames will give smoother playback by not skipping frames. If you turn this on, audio won’t sync properly if there is slowdown.

ZodTTD, master porter and hobby homebrewer, has updated his port of Quake to the iPhone! It’s available via the Cydia installer.

Release notes:

Today I updated Cydia’s ZodTTD Public Source with a new update to quake4iphone. This release is much more stable than previous releases, offers better controls, and should play better in general.

Be sure to check out quake4iphone v0.9.0 and comment on it here. I’m curious as to what you’d like in v1.0.0, so be sure to let me know!

Also, I’m aware quake4iphone wasn’t the most requested project to be worked on this weekend, but I knew there was some demand for it and I could get it done quickly. I will be choosing another project from the list and getting work done on it. So consider this weekend a two-for-one. 😉

Thanks!

ZodTTD

ZodTTD has updated gpSPhone, a Gameboy Advance emulator, for iPhone.

Release notes:

I decided to work on gpSPhone this weekend for a few reasons. One was that I planned on updating some issues with the UI and controller, and gpSPhone was a good testbed. The second reason was this release could be made very quickly and fit within the timeframe allowed. I plan on updating gpSPhone again fairly shortly with some more improvements and fixes, especially in the user interface and sound output areas.

If you like this release, please consider a donation by clicking here. If you’re not already a beta tester, it will automatically upgrade you to be a ZodTTD Beta Tester for early access to select projects of mine.

I updated gpSPhone to v3.5.0 on Cydia and it is available publicly via the built-in ZodTTD Public Source.

Changes:

Added the option for disabling sound in gpSPhone. This increases performance, but at the cost of not being able to re-enable it when loading a save state. If you save a game with no sound, load the save with no sound as well, for the added performance boost. I will look into ways of getting sound re-enabled within save-states shortly.
The autoframeskip routine has been improved greatly. Frame limiting to the intended 60 FPS has also been implemented.
ROM and SaveState filename’s text now resizes to fit. About time!
I increased the rate of which the drawing of the screen refreshes at. Things should appear smoother than the v3.0.0 release.
Fixed an issue with the controller not recognizing presses when dragging/moving.

PrBoom is a cross-platform version of the classic 3D first person shooter Doom from id Software. Originally written for PC, PrBoom has been lightly modified to run on GP2X.

Release notes from Pickle:

This is the latest version of PrBoom 2.5.0 for the gp2x.

Its using all the latest open2x libs and stuff. Supports everything the previous versions did, but it should work with USB keyboards (did not test)

I used mongolito404 control code from the previous version, so thanks to him for doing most of the work.

I was playing around with it so can be ready for the wiz and pandora, so expect it to be ready day 1.

As a side note I have some very good improvements to wolf4sdl. This would have been a double release, but unfortunately there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out.
