Pocket Physics is a physical construction set for the DS. Like in Crayon Physics, you draw objects which then become physical and interact with each other. It uses 0xtob’s DS port of the Box2D library by Erin Catto.

Changes:

Massive speed optimizations!
Fixed the “explosion” bug
As a side effect of this fix, results are now 100% reproducible
Moved to Box2D 2.0 (Box2D now has official DS support!)
Deleting sketches in the loading dialog
Objects that fall out of the world are no longer simulated
.PP files now have a single root elemnt => XML compliance
An author tag is added to the .PP files
Pins now snap to the center of gravity of shapes
There iss a separate version that doesn not save screenshots for people with saving problems with the SuperCard Lite

News from Quirky:

An update on the status of Bunjalloo. I’m fiddling about with options and how to present them at the moment. Last release saw a change in the way I deal with configuration. Up until 0.5.4, the release zip would overwrite the config.ini, search.cfg and allowed cookies file. It was pretty unlikely that many people actually changed these files, since the configurable things have been a bit limited and changing them required a bit of effort, but as options are added it is more and more likely. Well, now it will be possible to change the language and default download location from a configuration screen. The design is typically lo-fi, but seems to work okay.

Next up is to make the list of pages allowed to set cookies editable. The default behaviour of all popular browsers – allow anyone to set any cookie – is not a very wise choice from a privacy point of view. So I’ve gone the other way and made the list of allowed sites whitelist-based. If you’re not on the list, you’re not setting cookies. However, in order to add a site to the list one has to use an external editor, which isn’t too user friendly. A way to do this from a settings screen is on the list of things to do.

If the release doesn’t drag on, I also want to add an automatic updater, as suggested by Sarvesh. This will probably be semi-automatic – i.e. a button with “check for updates” – since the DS network is not the fastest and over zealous checking would be most irritating. This requires adding (at least) unzip support, so would be quite a big addition. It would also mean that zip files could be opened up from within Bunjalloo, which might be interesting.

If I manage all that, which is not likely, I also want to add configurable quick searches. These are searches that are triggered by typing a single letter followed by the search term into the address entry text box. Currently these are hard wired in the search.cfg file (g, y and w for Gogle, Yahoo and Wikipedia), but a system similar to Firefox’s quick search wouldn’t be too tough to add.

Of course if you would like to see any other features, or help speed up the addition of the above ones, patches are always welcome. I’d be interested to hear from anyone who has tried to compile the source code, and how it went.

We at PDRoms usually don’t care much about commercial products, but this news is pretty interesting.

Quote from akayuki.com:

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates shipped to North American retailers today, and interestingly enough include a new copy protection scheme that attempts to discourage players from using unauthorized copies of the game on certain DS flash cards.

People using the R4 and M3 flash cards will be greeted with a “Thank you for playing!!” screen after twenty minutes of playing.

Cute, no?

In general the PDRoms team highly suggests to buy games you like to play, after all people are putting their heartblood and sweat into games, and everyone has to pay his bills – even you! Use flashcards for homebrew, this is legit and nice, but please, buy things you like if you can afford it. Thanks!

This game is a demonstration of the power and capability of Lua. In this game you must tilt the PSP to roll the ball along a course to the goal. As the levels pass, the courses get more challenging, and the ball rolls faster.

Release notes:

The update is now available! Please re download the zip. I am trying to find the bug that causes it to crash every once in a while. If it crashes while you are playing it, please post and let me know what level and as many details as possible.
