Nick Swardh has released a new version of his Video Encoder for the PSP, heres whats new:

Yup, another PSPVC version has been release and ready for action!
This version ain't loaded with some new fancy-pants features or anything like it, this is basically a quick update that fix a DirectX check-bug that was introduced in the previous version for Windows 7 users. I've also corrected some issues with the pad/crop features effecting the "original" view when previewing the video before converting it.

Also, in case you didn't notice, I've also fixed the youtube video-downloader - it's now working again, ooh happy day...

Accompanying the release of the delightfully diabolical trio of Overlord titles is a "Dark Tower" Developer Diary video with gameplay footage. Featuring Lennart Sas, Creative Director of Triumph Studios in Delft, Holland, the video describes the Overlord's dark Netherworld domain. Home to the Minion Graveyard, the Forge, the Minion Burrows and the Overlord's private quarters, the Netherworld Tower was erected by the Minions while they were looking for their new master. From here, the Overlord can resurrect fallen Minions, forge new weapons and armor, view the Minion hives, upgrade his tower and of course, pleasure any of his three mistresses.

The video and new screen shots for all of the Overlord games are available to view at www.overlordgame.com.

OVERLORD TITLES NOW AVAILABLE IN NORTH AMERICA:

OVERLORD II
PLAYSTATION3 system, Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PC

Overlord II is the sequel to the hit warped fantasy action adventure that had players being delightfully despotic. In Overlord II, a new Overlord and a more powerful army of Minions take on an entire empire in a truly epic adventure, inspired by the rise of the Roman Empire. As the Glorious Empire conquers kingdoms and destroys any sign of magic it finds, it's time to go Minion Maximus and send in the horde.

The Minions return smarter, deadlier (and funnier) and are ready to fight in large scale battles that will see their wild pack mentality squaring up to the organized legions of the Glorious Empire. As ever, they'll do anything and everything the Overlord commands of them, especially now that they can run ravage and wreck buildings and scenery. They've also learn to ride: In Overlord II Minions are able to mount up and ride wolves and other magical creatures around the landscape and take them into battle, making our band of merry fighters faster and fiercer than ever before.

OVERLORD DARK LEGEND
Wii

Designed and developed exclusively for Wii, Overlord Dark Legend is a brand new action adventure steeped in fairy tale lore with sinister, satirical twists. Set in a time before the original game, players take the role of a new young Overlord. As he revels in command of the Minions, our trainee tyrant will be able to take his growing pains out on the local fairy tale inhabitants as he protects his castle and lands.

Connecting players to the game world in three dimensions, the use of the Wii Remote gives unprecedented control over the minions. For example, individual Minions can be plucked from the horde, held by the neck and then, by vigorously shaking the Wii Remote, throttled to imbue him with some Overlordly power and turn him into a manic minion missile. With a now-explosive body, the insane little critter can be guided into enemies with hilarious, if rather fatal, consequences.

Backed by a rich, tongue-in-cheek story from award-winning games author Rhianna Pratchett, the game features Overlord favourites, including: Halflings, trolls, elves, and dwarves and introduces wicked witches, gingerbread men and Lil' Red Riding Hood, the seeming sweet girl with a very personal lupine secret.

OVERLORD MINIONS
Nintendo DS

Introducing Giblet, Blaze, Stench, and Zap – an elite Minion crew who, assisted by minion master Gnarl, receive star billing in Overlord Minions, an irresistible and accessible puzzle action game designed exclusively for Nintendo DS. In Overlord Minions, the Overlord commands the Minion team remotely. The Nintendo DS stylus becomes an extension of his evil will and every precise touch screen command is the player-as-Overlord directing, commanding and combining minions in battle, pointing and sweeping them to attack enemies and solving puzzles to execute his dastardly plans.

Controlling the Special Farces team of four, players negotiate fiendish levels and take on a huge range of warped enemies to hunt down the Kindred, a cult dedicated to resurrecting the mighty Dragon Kin, a race of humanoid dragon hybrids, determined to replace the Overlord's ...

Updated release from Blazerrazor:

Remote Touch DS gives you the opportunity to remote-control your computers mouse, keyboard and other things from your Nintendo DS hand-held console. This solution is not like remote desktop, but more like an advanced remote control.

The solution is client-server based, obviously, and requires you to have a server running. It is not plugged with synergy, it is my own solution. The server receives commands from the Nintendo DS and acts according to them.

Current release (out now; 0.2.2):
Media Control Extended (MEX) - good for Media Center or similar.
Keyboard fully calibrated and working with key press sound for comfort.
Remote restart or shutdown of your computer - good for those late night movie sessions where you just want to shutdown your computer directly from the comfort of your bed.
Added support for a "rtds_settings.txt" config-file on your cartridge with connection data - look in README.txt for more info.
