Dear visitors,
As you all know PDRoms is a non profit homebrew resource. Our server is having some issues which I can't solve on my own as I don't really have in depth knowledge with Debian-Linux.
If you consider yourself a Linux geek and would like to help out on a regular base, please get in touch with Kojote (see Main Menu/Contact).
Thanks in advance!

The Giana's Return Team is currently on a creativity break, which actually means they are working on another project. The project picked up is "SQRXZ", which is a damn hard to play and aged action-platform-puzzle game known from DOS and Gameboy Color.
_(gp2x_game).jpg)
Today the team released a brand new screenshot with the "deluxe" graphic set to the public. Seems nice, doesn't it?
The game will be available for multiple platforms across old and new systems!

Dear all,
While I try my very best to keep PDRoms running as free and hopefully informative news source, my energy level is now at a level where it's time for a battery refill - if a refill is possible at all.
I've been forcing myself the past weeks to keep things in the way they are, but they are just an additional load of things to do. For my very own sake and the sake of my family I've to pull the emergency break now.
PDRoms has two valuable helping hands, Kedo and Celeth, who will hopefully help out with news and further develop and improve the page itself.
Regards
Kojote

Dear Skeeners,
Due to circumstances out of my control I have no choice, but to inform you of the bad news. TehSkeen is lost. Therefore, due to internal and external reasons I am leaving the "scene". It.s been a hell of a ride and five years is a long time to work on something you enjoy to have it just vanish. TehSkeen had a vision and I hope someday someone else will follow this vision. I.m not giving up just moving on. I hope you all can understand this and if you can't I'm sorry. There are other sites out there with similar morals and content that you can be a part of. Farewell.
Kind Regards,

libhomebrew is the idea to create an abstract homebrew library, unifying access to different hardware, making it easy to port homebrew from one console to another. Please help making this idea real!

Everything should be really back to normal now, we found another serious issue which had to be fixed.
Another thank you for that goes to BitBreaker/Metalvotze, you can visit them here: http://www.metalvotze.de
We will try to keep up with all the news we have missed, just give us some time. Actually you can thank Kedo too, that he started to post news again, so basically I can't leave it incomplete. I've been really close to drop all that stuff here...

Dear visitors,
The attack is gone (for now), the page seems stable.
The past days were really a pain in many ways and related to this I also had a financial loss. Considering PDRoms generates no money, but costs money - plus this extra loss - I am far from amused and was very close to drop all this stuff.
Whatever we tried to do, the attacks continued. On this way here I would like to thank Evildragon, chrissie and celeth for helping out. Unfortunately the attack was extremely massive, that even the guys at the server farm were unable to help.
I am not quite sure if I will continue to maintain and even run PDRoms or just keep it like this and let it disappear before the next server bill arrives.

Dear visitors,
PDRoms is beeing DDOS'ed and there is nothing we can do about this. We have to wait and see when the attacks disappears on it's own.
The loading time is incredibly high, but you should be able to get something displayed.

Major french webpages are currently linking to PDRoms. This started at about 10:20am. The server was not able to handle the requests.
EvilDragon of OpenPandora fame ( http://openpandora.org/ ) gave us a helping hand to sort things out. Everything should at least run a lot better than before!
Happy browsing :)
