This module is a sensor package for monitoring the electrical activity of the heart. It is the product of an effort to create a Wireless Body Sensor Network node that is dependable while consuming very little electricity, which means a longer battery life. To accomplish this, the microcontroller in charge of the node compresses the data (not usually done with wireless ECG hardware) so that the radio transmissions are as short and infrequent as possible.

[Igor] sent us this tip and had a short question and answer session with one of the developers. It seems they are working with the MSP430 chips right now because of their low power consumption. Unfortunately those chips still draw a high load when transmitting so future revisions will utilize an alternative.

Oh, and why the iPhone? The device that displays the data makes little difference. In this case they’re transmitting via Bluetooth for a real-time display (seen in the video after the break). This could be used for a wide variety of devices, or monitored remotely via the Internet.

This post is to announce the release of a testing preview of the upcoming 1.2.0 ScummVM release for the GPH (GamePark Holdings) devices I support.

This release supersedes recent ‘SVN’ builds as should provide a very good indication of what to expect in the final 1.2.0 release.

Note: Please don’t mirror or hotlink these preview/test/alpha etc. releases or put them on download services but rather, direct people to this site.

This helps me ensure that users always have the most recent versions.

Also note that these test releases are not officially (or unofficially) supported but I will help if I can.

I am hoping to get at least another preview release out for the GPH devices before the final 1.2.0 release as I carry on fixing bugs. This is why it is important to provide feedback, patches, fixes etc.

Please give these releases a go and provide feedback.

Noteworthy features:

Below are the main features and fixes added with this new release.

ALL:

Changes to the way the music drivers are loaded (should fix game loading issues).

Performance improvements.

Add support for TouchScreen ‘Tap Modes’, Left Click, Right Click and Hover.

GP2X:

Performance tweaks/code clean-up (quite noticeable in some areas, not giving up on the old GP2X any time soon).

Revised the button layout (please read http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=GP2X for more info), feedback on the button layouts is appreciated.

GP2X Wiz:

Fixes to 16 bit graphics support (still not sure this is 100% working well).

Revised the button layout (please read http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=GP2XWiz for more info), feedback on the button layouts is appreciated.

Caanoo:

Revised the button layout (please read http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Caanoo for more info), feedback on the button layouts is appreciated.

TODO List:

ALL:

Add support for a ‘Left Handed Mode’ (swapping the Left and Right trigger behaviour).

Make the ‘Trigger Tap’ configurable by the user.

Anything on the TODO may not happen in time for the 1.2.0 release, it is all rather dependent on my free time and that is at a premium at the moment.

Supported engines:

These releases feature support for all the game engines enabled for the upcoming ScummVM 1.2.0 including support for the SCI engine (early SCI games) and adding Fascination support in the Gob engine (remember, it’s really not a children’s game).

Full details of what you can expect to see in 1.2.0 can be found in the testing news post.

Specific restrictions:

Each of the platforms has a small number of restrictions and quirks that have an affect on the games/engines you are able to use well with said platform.

GP2X: The biggest restriction with this platform is the overhead of the scaling when using 640*480 games on the 320*240 screen making such game perform relatively poorly.

GP2X Wiz: I have spotted a minor issue where the screen is not totally cleaned when some types of screen movement occur, that combined with the Wiz’s LCD tearing can lead to the odd graphics glitch.

Caanoo: This backend is new, it’s not as well tested as I would like, I think I have most of the ‘show stoppers’ fixed in this preview but expect minor bugs and kinks.

SCI Engine: This game engine is a big and complex beast. Performance is not yet as optimised as I would like for devices like the GPH handhelds. ...

Newly released for Wiz



This is a quick and rough port of TONG to the GP2X.

It's an evil puzzle game of Tetris and Pong on the same grid.

I totally rewrote the game. Got rid of its dependency on Box2D (the game was originally pretty much made just to mess around with Box2D on Wii which was giving me trouble for reasons that I don’t want to get into which is what really led me to actually remake They Do Not Die instead of doing more of a direct port) and used my own self made collision and bouncing system in its place.

It has a two player mode now. Single player is still available as an option. There is obviously also a menu now to allow you to select how many people will be playing.

Instead of using the directional pad the gameplay is now motion controlled. You hold the controller sideways like a NES controller and tilt it forward and back to move the on screen paddle up or down. ...

Here you have the PDF of JigCard so you can see with your own eyes have deceived you into believing it is an exploit, save data as the service mode to do this for chapters and no deliveries and so suspicious of them. You have more information at the Research Forum

And since I already communicated that leaves DemonHades investigations; only engages me DHorg caring community (the people), help with problems and doubts keep the site up to date ... but I withdraw from the research topic.

1saludo and thanks to that if I have believed and supported me and the rest to be happy with this BIG LIE.

You can find the link to the PDF on his blog... will not be posted here... you know the rules.

Update: m0skit0 got a (bad) reply from his hosting service:

I got final reply from 000webhost, and it’s definitely not recoverable. The forum is lost forever. I have no previsions on setting up a new site.

Please spread this on as many sites as possible so people would be aware about that hosting site erases accounts without previous warning.

The forums at advancedpsp.tk were very strictly moderated, and as one of the mods I am 100% sure nothing illegal happened there. So, there you go. If you are a site owner, we don’t recommend you to use 000webhost.com, as it seems they will erase your account for no reason.

Original post:

Many of you have noticed that m0skit0’s site advancedpsp.tk, which hosts the main development forum for HBL, is currently inaccessible. M0skit0 is aware of the situation and is currently dealing with the company providing the hosting in order to solve the issue. ...

It seems that this will enable the launch of the software service , including to downgrade the PS3 . It is even possible , with some acrobatics every boot to load self from usb and allow the use of a dongle just to install it, and need only a USB key classical thereafter.

However, without further explanation , this information must be taken with a maximum drop pending confirmation or otherwise of these possibilities. ...
