    News/release from justwoody

    MahJongg Wii is a Mahjongg solitaire tiles game written specifically for the Wii, developed with devkitPro tools and using the GRRLib for rendering, sndlib for music and sound, and wiiuse for wiimote.

    v0.8 23/02/09
    Download - Mahjongg Wii v0.8

    Added multiple tilesets!
    Added character voices on 2 player versus mode
    Re-encoded and removed cracklys from the sound effects
    Added graphic when two player game ends as a draw
    Tidied up and fixed bugs around the placing of tiles / shuffling
    Fixed bug where saved music volume was not being used on startup
    Changed screenshot function to output filenames with date and time instead of just one
    Cleaned up the code that deals with memory allocation of textures in the menus
    Added new menu music + other music tracks for the different tilesets/themes during the game
    Fixed some memory allocation problems that may have caused memory to be held onto when mahjongg is exited and could have caused problems moving between the menu and the game if done numerous times
    Added pressing A button on already selected tile deselects it
    Added proper support for widescreen including options to turn it on or off
    Changed config loading and saving to include widescreen and tileset selections. Does in a way that is backwards compatible with version 0.7 config files
    Added Norwegian language support

    Heres the news from the official site:

    As its been a while since our last binary release, we wanted to clarify why its been so long and what we’re waiting for for our next release. Early on in development we were making relatively big changes which significantly improved the emulator; however, we’ve gotten to the point where a lot of the big things have been done, and only need perfecting (with the exception of the dynarec). Thus, we haven’t felt the need to make several binary releases as most of the users who aren’t interested in compiling the source themselves are mostly uninterested in the kinds of changes that have been made. We do indeed have a milestone for our next release planned: a working, stable dynarec. Most of the work that has gone into the emulator since our last release has been focusing on the dynarec, and since we still don’t have a completely working dynarec, there haven’t been many noticeable changes. So we’re holding out for a dynarec which supports at least most games without crashing before we make our next release. After getting it running initially, there will likely be more room for optimization if there are still any performance issues. In that case, we will likely have frequent releases once again as there will be noticeable improvements with each optimization that is made. As always, please be patient. We’re working hard to make the next release something worth the wait.

    On an unrelated technical note, we have managed to free up 1.75MB in RAM by consolidating the various memory LUTs (look-up tables) into a single LUT for all memory operations. In Mupen64, there are 8 different memory LUTs which are used to determine how to handle memory accesses at different addresses. These 8 are split up by read/write byte/half-word/word/double. Instead of having 8 large LUTs, I created one LUT for all memory operations which points to smaller LUTs which handle the different memory operations in the specified segment. Memory operations only require an additional load for the second level LUT so there is no performance impact by this change. We are still looking into other ways to further reduce our memory usage to make sure that we have plenty of room in memory for recompiled code produced by the dynarec.

In Blue Dragon Plus, one year has passed since Shu and his companions defeated the tyrannical remnant of the Ancients, Nene. In the midst of the battle, the world split in two and now consists of a myriad of “cubes” that exploded from its depths. King Jibral notices a mysterious cube in the distance suddenly start to move violently, and from it he sees the Shadow of a Balaur, a three-headed dragon, emerge. The enormous and sinister Shadow is just the beginning of the new turmoil and devastation to come.

    New from SuccessHK



    The manufacturer Try Electronics adapts the joystick for the PS3 by adding a USB connector but the basic functionality is the same as the original Royds Stick EX that we've been using for a while.
    The design of the stick uses a modular panel which slots into the base and two different button panels may be inserted into the base as follows:
    Standard 8-Button Panel
    All right face buttons and trigger buttons (○, X, O, Δ, L1, L2, R1, R2) are located on the panel in a 4 x 2 configuration. The weight of this particular panel is 500g or 1.10lbs.
    EX-System 4+1 Button Panel
    The four face buttons and a trigger (○, X, O, Δ, L1) are spaced across the panel in a truncated arc pattern. The weight of the panel is 400g (0.88lbs). ...

    Nintendo will provide downloadable puzzle packs for Rittai Picross (Solid Object Picross) with a little help from you. Just like Picross DS these extra puzzles will be distributed for free over Nintendo Wi-Fi. Some of the puzzle packs will include user generated content.

    Nintendo will hold contests asking Picross fanatics, well at least Picross fanatics in Japan, to submit puzzles fitting a theme. Puzzles deemed worthy by Nintendo will be included in future puzzle packs for everyone to download.

    A total of 300 puzzles can be stored on a single Rittai Picross cartridge. If you’re running low on space you can delete the downloadable packs and grab them again at anytime. How many downloadable puzzles does Nintendo plan on producing? Retailer Game Star says at least 200. Add this to the 350 puzzles built in on the cartridge and Picross fans are looking at 550 puzzles to crack.


    Nintendo will release Rittai Picross in Japan on March 12. No international release has been announced, but a registered trademark for 3D Picross is a pretty good sign we’ll get Rittai Picross in the future.

    Rockstar Games has their Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars van making the rounds to promote the upcoming Nintendo DS game, and while we would never encourage stealing, isn't it just begging for it?

    I can't help but smile imagining the Rockstar representatives, on their way out of the Massachusetts GameStop where they were demoing the upcoming game, walking up to an empty parking space where their lovely Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars van was parked. I imagine they'd just stare at the space for several minutes before turning to each other and having a good laugh over the irony of the whole situation. Then maybe Kotaku reader Farnic, who sent in these shots, could let them crash at his place for the night.

    Once again, we would never condone stealing anything, if you were dead set on making away with a vehicle, this would be the one to make away with.
