    Looks like Microsoft has come up with a pretty slick little keyboard. It’s very much like the Optimus, which has an OLED screen in every key, except that it doesn’t have a screen in every key. Instead there’s just one screen on the whole unit and they keys have been overlayed on top while allowing the image to show through. Brilliant really, since this should drastically reduce the $2400 price tag of the original. That is, if you could buy the device. Microsoft’s not selling this hardware (yet anyway), but offering it up as test hardware for the UIST Innovation Contest. It will be interesting to see what the students come up with. This keyboard should be easier to program for since it involves manipulating just one screen. There is also extra space at the top that is touch-sensitive. See for yourself after the break.

    From: Poland
    Division: Retro APP
    Platform: PSP
    Original enter: YES
    Support Motion: NO
    In last NEO Compo this project have won in the top 10: NO

    Project description:
    Since psp has a d-pad and d-pads are ideal for pixelart, i made an application so you can make some wonderful pieces of art wherever you go!

    How to use:
    In PENCIL mode you can:
    -Draw pixel by pixel pressing CROSS button.
    -Fill pressing TRIANGLE button.
    -Pick color from wherever you want pressing SQUARE button.
    -Undo fill/drawing pixels by pressing CIRCLE button.
    -Zoom out/in using LEFT/RIGHT buttons.
    -Toggle scanlines using START button.



    In Pick Color mode you are transported to a separate view where you can pick your color. Since choosing right colors is insanely important, choose carefully! You can change hue and adjust saturation/brightness on the graph. You can also compare previous color to the new one.



    In SELECTION mode you can:
    -Select individual pixels by pressing CROSS button.
    -Copy selected pixels using CIRCLE button.
    -Move selected pixels using SQUARE button.
    -Fill selection to bounds or clean selection using TRIANGLE button.
    -Inverse selection using START button.
    -As in PENCIL mode, you can also zoom in/out.

    In directory view mode you can:
    -Save your work in a current folder by pressing SQUARE button. Saves only to a .png!
    -Load a .png file pressing CIRCLE button. Note that the file must be not larger than 256x256[px].
    -Move up and down through directory tree.


    To acces menu where you change modes you must press select.
    In MENU:
    -Select wanted mode and press CROSS to acces it.
    -To select PENCIL press LEFT.
    -To select COLOR_PICKER press UP.
    -To select SELECTION press RIGHT.
    -To select DIRECTORY_VIEW press DOWN.
    -To select QUICK_SAVE push analog to the left.
    -To select QUICK_LOAD push analog to the right.



    To change background color just press LEFT and RIGHT at the same time, background will be changed to a current color.

    Sorry for the eboot, but I couldn't customize it, seems like there was something wrong with my .PNGs and i just was getting corrupted data. I had no time to repair that.

    Credits:
    PixelArt at the beginning: Neoriceisgood
    Others that i have not remembered to tell you about!

    Hope you like it!

    Project description:

    It plays NSFs on the TurboGrafx / PC-Engine. NSF is the format used for ripping soundtracks from NES / Famicom games.


    How to use:

    Creating the player ROM
    -----------------------
    Start rombuilder.exe. Drag the NSF files to the top listbox, then press "Build". A ROM
    named hunter.pce will be generated in the same directory as the rombuilder.

    Only up to 15 NSFs will be added to the ROM.

    Each NSF must be <= 32 kB in size.

    Some NSFs will not play correctly (or at all) even if they were added successfully by the
    rombuilder. This might be because they rely on some feature not supported by my player.
    Some examples of NSFs that will not play correctly are Metroid, Rygar, Star Force and Rush'n Attack.

    DMC is not supported, and will simply not be heard. No extra sound hardware is supported either
    (such as FDS, MMC5 or N106).



    Using the player
    ----------------
    Run the generated hunter.pce file in an emulator (like mednafen), or on your TurboGrafx / PC-E.

    [Up/Down] navigates through the NSF list.

    [Left/Right] navigates through the sub-songs of the currently playing NSF.

    [II] starts playback of the highlighted NSF/song.

    [ I] restarts playback of the currently playing NSF/song.

    [Select] toggles volume overdrive mode. When active, it boosts the volume of the square wave and noise
    channels, which can be useful for soundtracks that have low volumes (like Ninja Gaiden, Metal Gear,
    Silver Surfer, etc).

    [Run] toggles the playback speed. If the NSF's original speed is NTSC it will switch to PAL, and vice
    versa.

    Project description:
    PSPDictionary is a multi-language translator for PSP (PlayStation Portable) written in Python, distribuited under the GNU General Public license.

    PSPDictionary allows you to translate a word or a phrase from six language: English, Italiano, French, Deutsce, Spanish and Latin.

    It’s possible to translate remaining offline. In this case, the program supports the translations freely distributed by Wikctionary ( http://wiktionary.org ). There are about 6000 translations for each language.

    Besides, it’s possible to translate a word/phrase connecting your PSP online, choosing an online translation service. This can be: langtolang (www.langtolang.com), Yahoo! Babel Fish (www.babelfish.yahoo.com) or Google Translate (www.translate.google.com).


    How to install
    First of all, I remember you that this program works only on a PSP Far or Slim with a Custom Firmware by DAX.
    So, download PSPDictionary from www.gefa.altervista.org
    Then, extract the downloaded package, and copy the ‘python’ folder in the root of your memory stick, and the ‘PSPDictionary vX.X.X’ folder in the path X:\PSP\GAME
    Congratulations, you have successfully installed PSPDictionary.

    Your goal is to light up all the blue tiles, by programming your bot using 5 basic functions. You can move forward, turn left, turn right, jump and switch light. However, you can also use 2 functions, f1 & f2, in which you can put up to 8 commands each. In the main method you can put 12 commands. There is recursivity support !
    There is 12 levels with a growing difficulty. This is a really good introduction to real-world programmation.
    At the end of the game, you know how many commands were used, this is your score; the less is the best.

    How to use :

    Square : switch robot configuration
    Cross : Select/Stop/Put
    L/R : Select a function
    D-Pad : Navigate in the function matrix
    Circle : Delete a function
