News from Torch:

What does Hold+ do when the switch is enabled?
* Switches off the LCD backlight.
* Switches off the actual LCD screen.
(This is important because the backlight and actual screen are two different things. You can have an image being displayed on the screen while the backlight is switched off, such that you can see the image if you use a flashlight. You can also have the screen switched off while the backlight still illuminates the powered off screen.)
* Underclocks the CPU to 61MHz
(Sony has changed the clock speed functions such that only certain combinations of speeds work correctly. Simply trying to underclock to arbitrary values will result in the CPU simply running at the stock speed. I have verified that Hold+ successfully underclocks to 61MHz.)
* The original screen brightness and clock speed are restored when the Hold switch is released.
* Prevents the PSP from going into suspend mode if you accidently push the power switch too far when turning off Hold mode.

This J2ME porting can run java mobile phone games even better than the average phone and with more confortable controls, for example it can run DoomRPG, Worms 2007, 300, Company of Heroes, Rainbow Six Vegas, Destroy all Humans 2 ect fullspeed!

New in this release:
- Screen rotation now works properly even for 240x320 games that now can fit perfectly the gp2x screen
- Added a variable to choose when to launch a game with rotated screen or not
- Added Dungeon Dweller as sample game, it's a great Roguelike and is freely downloadable here: http://roguelikedevelopment.org/dweller/
- Some minor bugs fixed


Now the porting needs *only* sound support for MIDP2 games, if you're a developer interested in making a release or you just want to mess with the code follow the instructions and hints in the readme file.

You've got three basic colors : RED, BLUE and YELLOW.

You can mix two of them:
RED+BLUE=PURPLE
RED+YELLOW=ORANGE
BLUE+YELLOW=GREEN

Then you need to have the three basic colors on one single block in order to create a white block:
PURPLE + YELLOW = WHITE
RED + GREEN = WHITE
BLUE + ORANGE = WHITE

Once 3 white blocks are aligned, they disappear.

WordStreamer (aka MiniMuncher) is a speed reading tool. t works on the principle that our brains only process text when our eyes are not moving. WordStreamer simply streams a text file a set number of words at a time, at a rate specified by you. Since your eyes are not traveling from line to line and across the page, this allows you to read at a faster rate in no time by simply pressing up to increase the rate at which the words are displayed.

D.K. has updated his game Kaiten Patissier.

Kaiten Patissier is a "collect 'em all" game, but with the twist of having a rotating playingfield. After collecting all but the last item in each level, a bonus item will appear somewhere in the level, so be sure to keep an eye out for the bonus items if you want to get 100% completion.

Due to lack of japanese knowledge, we can not inform about potential changes.

Update 23:23: According to MK2k, the guy who ported this piece of work over to the PSP, the only change is the addition of a new splash screen "Action Love".

Lua is a powerful, fast, light-weight, embeddable scripting language. The Saturn Lua Player is a powerful runtime environment for homebrew Saturn games written in Lua. It provides access to hundreds of functions of popular Saturn programming libraries.

It's simple, it's fast, it's powerful and it makes fun! Making Saturn games is now as easy as opening up a text editor and writing:
slPrint("Hello World", 5, 5) while true do slSynch() end

The Saturn Lua Player has proved it's usefulness by running Police Officer Smith and various complex 3d demos. It successfully handles multiple 2D scrolls, rotational scrolls, complex 3D scenery, realtime gouraud shading, textures, save files, CD reading, PCM playback and a lot more!

Yabause Wii is a Sega Saturn emulator for Wii and is the first of its kind as emulating the complex processes of the Sega Saturn is much harder then it looks and now even harder to run it on the limited hardware of the Wii.

Yabause Wii can now run a small number of commercial games at usable speeds (5-10fps) were it is still possible to play the game.

Release notes:
01 July 08: Yabause Wii Ac_K Modification, a little optimisation of Yabause by Ac_K. Download here: http://ack.gtapro.com/public/Wii/Yabause/Yabause_Wii_by_Ac_K.zip

This application allows you to read large Text (.txt,.text), Palm Doc (.pdb), Mobipocket (.pdb,.prc,.mobi), Plucker (.pdb), HTML (.htm,.html), and Fiction Book (.fb2) files quickly and efficiently on the iPhone/Touch. This application doesn't have the fancy formatting of ruBooks or Books.app, but it can quickly load and display large text files that currently cause Books.app or other UI Text View/Web View based apps problems. If you want to load books quickly and read text, this may be the app for you.

Changes:
* Add option to wrap searches
* Add option to have search match words (i.e. 'he' will not match 'the'). Words are assumed to be delimited by blanks, CR/LF, or punctuation characters.
* Add option to reverse the file scroll direction (i.e. swipe left to right for next, or right to left for next)
* Percentage is updated when scrolling while the "title/info/navigation bar" is displayed Cached ZIP and CHM files are displayed where they should be instead of being grouped with directories Ideographic blanks are used when indenting paragraphs.
* File Scroll can be used even if Smooth scroll is not selected


Note: Books.app http://code.google.com/p/iphoneebooks/ and ruBooks http://colel.info/rubooks/ provide a formatted display of text and images. If you are willing to break up your book into smaller chapters they may also be options.

silent_code updated the Volumetric Shadow (Tech)Demo (formerly know as the "Stencil Shadow Demo" and later "Volume Shadow Demo"). This version is very likely to be the final one.

- Hardware accelerated volumetric shadowing - mini-tutorial included!
- Motion blur with video capture, using only one VRAM bank, at 60 FPS
- Hardware lighting, texturing, fogging, antialiasing etc.
- Display brightness control
- Viewport scissoring (thanks to gabebear)
- Loading binary and text files from disk
- Converting 24/32bit .tga image data to 16bit NDS textures
- Displaying a custom font and a text area over a background image, all loaded from disk
- Smooth touch input
- Simple frame rate counting and renderer status display
