Release notes:
Release notes:
Download (source code included): nesterJ_1_12_Plus_0_61_RM .rar ( http://www.mediafire.com/?jwml0diy1mz )
Lots of thanks to byemu for providing the source and allowing what I think is the most complete version of a nes emulator for PSP (would be perfect with 1.20beta2's wifi support but...).
I included a google-translated readme for convenience but I'll sum up all the new features from Ruka's nesterJ 1.11.
Changes from 0.61 (based on nesterJ 1.12 by Takka, which is based on nesterJ 1.11 by Ruka)
From suloku:
- Added rewind mode coded by Davex
- Added mirror and rotated screen modes by Davex
- Added sepia color palette by Davex
From byemu:
- Added support for a LOT of boards and mappers, including mapper 163 (NJ063 Final Fantasy VII Advent Children among others)
- PAL-NTSC selector
- Added Chinese interface language
- Added FAT ROM read mode, which enables Chinese filenames while browsing
- Added a new cheat function to make changing games easier.
- ROM support up to 4M
- Increased exception handling, prevention of reading the game crash
- Roms can be deleted. Press [] (square) in the rom list interface. Only in FAT ROM read mode.
- Added and increased a custom rom database (byemudb.dat)
From 1.12 by Takka:
- Ported to 3.xx firmware (full user mode)
- Fixed sleep mode issues
- Fixed saving issues (sram and states)
Notes (google translated):
DQ4 (1 of the Chinese Version) to read two times before the game
Three Chinese version of the Central Plains of Bazhe alien to read two times before the game.
2 Chinese version of heaven and earth devour some need to select PAL standard, and then re-read the ROM, can be a normal game, or else they will Huaping
Street Fighter version 9, please choose NTSC / AUTO format, then load the game, otherwise the game will be black and white more than 10 seconds to enter the game
Red Fort, select PAL and then reads the ROM, otherwise they will be black and white more than 10 seconds
Select PAL version of Street Fighter 4 will Huaping, select NTSC / AUTO format
South crystal game please frequency is set to 333, such as "Tomb Raider", otherwise it will crash just like the same card

Battery Warning plugin is a PSP plugin that shows a message on screen when your battery reaches 15% or less charge. Works in VSH/GAME + Homebrew Games & Apps.

Why bother when the PSP LED blinks when the battery is low? Well lets face it, who can honestly say when they are stuck into a game that they even notice the LED blinking at all, also added to that, the fact that when your playing a game your thumb practically covers the whole light, it's not an ideal method of warning.

mootjeuh has updates his Simple Image Viewer for the PlayStation Portable.
Changes:
Changes:
Okay, today I added one interesting feature; a config file where you put int the startup directory of ASIV.
It's by default set to ms0:/ you can change that manually to anything you want. So in theory, you could also browse your flash and/or umd disc.
I've also added compatibility for .PCX images.

Changes:
Changes:
Man, already a new update =P
I made this version a little more user-friendly.
Let's say, if the image you want to display is bigger that 512 pixels (in width or in height), the program will only show a rectangle of the image up to 480x272 (the PSP's screen).
I've also added an auto-centering feature, if the image that you're trying to show has a reasonable size (lower than 480 in width, and lower than 272 in height), it will be automatically be displayed at the center of the screen =D
And there's also intraFont support! But it has to be located on the memory stick, because, what good is an image viewer utility if it browse's the flash?? =P

you get 4 dices and have to store them on a 4x4 pitch...
There you have to sort them by color and numbers. All combinations and and scores you'll find in "options"->"help".
By reaching a new level you'll get a joker, which you can place everywhere to get the highest score for the given combination (i know, it's bad explained - try it out and you'll understand, what i mean).
After completing a game you can upload your score and try to reach a place in the Top 20 scores
(I want to make a bigger highscores-list - but it always don't work with more player scores, sry -.-" )

This is another update, whose major version number is one, because a) There are already 25 five sub-versions, and b) I added THE missing feature
You'll find a new module for Sony's OSK, which allows more control on it. For instance, you can change its description, the used language, and give a block which will draw something under the OSK (this avoids graphical glitches).
I've also written another module, which is an unified interface for modules initialisations. It manages dependencies, which can reduce the code size.
You can easily create your own module, using Method. One of the samples and the documentation explain everthing about this.
But these features are details beside the main new feature, which adds the ability to use objects created from your computer, download Ruby from its FTP, as well as Google's home, or read your e-mails.
You can connect to an access point, get the list of the available access points. Once this is done, sockets can be used as usual, and classes depending on them can do their job.

Thanks to www.tehskeen.com for the news.

Bookmarks:
I added the bookmark feature. Bookmarks can be accessed from the bookmark item in the menu. You can remove a bookmark by going to it and pressing SQUARE. You will prompted to confirm the deletion. To add a bookmark go to either a Manga, Chapter, or Image and press SELECT to make a manga, chapter, or image bookmark.
Music:
Music playback is supported by adding an MP3 file name music.mp3 to where you put OneMangaPSP on your PSP. I plan to add support for selection of music in the app. You cannot pause music and it loops continuously. So make sure you don’t put an annoying song

JoySens is a custom firmware plugin for Sony PSP that allows you to control the sensitivity of the analog stick in a very efficient way as well as "repair" faulty analog sticks. In very bad cases where the analog stick is not repairable, you can also just disable it so it doesn't interfere with your games anymore. Apart from that it includes functionality to swap and remap DPad input to analog stick and vice versa, hence allows you to control the XMB with the analog stick for example.

- added LITE version, that does not support config file saving, no ingame info output as well as no ingame config settings with buttons
- added “threshold” config parameter, to adjust button remapping from analog
- added “thresholdupbtn” and “thresholddownbtn” config parameters, to set buttons for setting the threshold ingame
- added “idlestop” and “idleback” config parameters, to set when the analog movement stops the idle timer or returns back from idle (brightness dimming/display off feature of PSP firmware).
- optimized config file reading a bit
- updated FAQ
