News/release from bigfish
Hello, I'm the maker of this program. I have made a newer version of this program with bug fixes, but this project is pretty much abandoned, at least for the DS. (I really like this program myself and might try to make an enhanced PC port, but who knows...) I quite literally forgot about this project and thought this topic died a long time ago. o_o
The new version has typing text, but probably will not have picture support. The source is included in this release too, so if anyone wants to continue this project feel free. It also fixes some annoying bugs like the screen messing up if you have too long of text.

Evildragon posted this great news for the Wiz:
Some of you may know GPH and me are currently at the IFA exhibition in Berlin.
We had quite some conversations during the last days - and I'm really happy to announce the following:
The 2nd DPad of the Wiz will be replaced with 4 proper buttons! AND the 2.5mm headphone jack will be replaced with a 3.5mm one.
So the only flaws I could see with this system will be fixed!
On the downside it means that the release of the Wiz will be delayed for 30 days (so it will be shipped in November), but I think that's best.
If you like that decision, you can use this thread to thank GPH, as they will be reading it!

Tantric has released a new version of the Nes Emulator for the Nintendo Wii, heres the release notes:
I've released an update to the FCE Ultra port to bring it up to where the other emulators are now. You can download v2.0.0 and the source code from the official FCEUGC site: http://code.google.com/p/fceugc/. Please report any bugs, feature requests, etc here too. Feedback is appreciated.
The port was originally done by softdev, and was updated by askot and dsbomb, along with many others along the way. A lot of the work I've done to it is thanks to the code from other emulators. Most of the features from the last 1.0.9 release should be working. Enjoy!
Code:
[What's New 2.0.0]
* Complete rewrite based on code from SNES9x GX and Genesis Plus GX
* Wiimote, Nunchuk, and Classic controller support
* Button mapping for all controller types
* Full support for SD, USB, DVD, GC Memory Card, and Zip files
* Game starts immediately after loading
* Load/save preference selector. ROMs, saves, and preferences are
saved/loaded according to these
* Preliminary Windows file share loading/saving (SMB) support on Wii:
You can input your network settings into FCEUGX.xml, or edit
fceuconfig.cpp from the source code and compile.
* 'Auto' settings for save/load - attempts to automatically determine
your load/save device(s) - SD, USB, Memory Card, DVD, SMB
* Preferences are loaded and saved in XML format. You can open
FCEUGX.xml edit all settings, including some not available within
the program
* One makefile to make all versions

With sales consistently lagging behind its main competitor in the hand-held market, the Nintendo DS, Sony hopes to catch the eye of those hand-held gamers who have yet to experience its Playstation Portable, by releasing an upgraded model this October.
Along with some wide-eyed new customers, Sony hope that the new added features will be enough to tempt PSP Slim and Lite owners- and certainly early adopters who bought the initial hand-held back in 2005 - to upgrade to the PSP 3000.
Currently, Game and Gamestation are offering trade-in prices of approximately *£50 for the PSP base model and £60 for the PSP Slim and Lite. Therefore, if you're thinking of trading in, you'll be able to pick up the PSP 3000, which will retail at £150, for approximately £100 and £90 respectively on its launch. That's if you trade-in now though say both Game and Gamestation who have told us that they firmly expect trade-in prices to drop over the next month as gamers throw out the old and get ready for the new.
But, Is it actually going to worth upgrading? Well, the PSP 3000 offers very few new features, but its jewel in the crown is the new look LCD screen.
Usually, a slight upscale in visual quality wouldn't be enough to convince us to upgrade but, providing the image below (showing the comparison between a Slim & Lite and a PSP 3000) hasn't been altered by hand, then there really does seem to be an incredible difference between the two models. Of course, it's hard to tell just how good the difference is until you have both the PSP Slim & Lite models in your hands, but first impressions suggest that the "higher contrast ratio, shorter response time, and wide colour gamut" that Sony say it will boast, will significantly improve the visual quality of games and movies. Furthermore, the PSP 300 will have an anti-glare function to make gaming easier under different lighting conditions.
The improved LCD screen is going to come at a price though. Reports, originating from Gamespot, reveal that the new screen will draw more power from the battery making overall battery life diminish by approximately 20-30 minutes. It's certainly an inconvenience, but Sony's John Koller believes:
"That's going to be off-set because we're still going to have the extended life battery that's still available for the consumers, so they're still going to get the 8 to 10 hours out of that battery. Or the battery that comes with the PSP will now be right around three and a half to four hours."
Even though the poorer battery performance doesn't worry us, the unique selling point of the PSP 3000's upgraded screen just isn't enough to tempt us to upgrade, especially when you take into account that the quality of the PSP 2001 screen is still very good. For us, the hand-held is still first and foremost about the games more than anything else, so although the improved LCD screen undoubtedly looks better, it isn't enough on its own to warrant us shelling out 100 notes.

On Sale at Divineo USA
Datel have posted details on a new Homebrew and More cart for DS, Lets hope its better than recent creations
Action Replay DS uses real cheat codes to give you exciting cheats like Infinite Lives, Infinite Health, All Vehicles and more. The new Media Edition also boasts a powerful media player for movies, music and home brew games.
Action Replay DS Media Edition has the power to blow your NDS games wide open. Our dazzlingly dynamic device uses real cheat codes to get to the heart of your NDS games, giving you enhancements such as Infinite Lives, Infinite Health, All Vehicles, All Levels and other exciting cheats. But it’s so much more than just a cheat system. It also includes a media player to play movies and music stored on a MicroSD card (not supplied), and can even run home brew software written for the NDS!
Action Replay DS Media Edition is really easy to use. You simply insert the supplied Action Replay cartridge into your DS or DS Lite, and switch on. When prompted, remove the Action Replay card and replace it with your game card. Action Replay recognises the title in question and offers you the title's code list. It's that easy! Like previous versions of Action Replay, Action Replay DS Media Edition is fully updateable, so you don't need to buy a new one when new games are released; just update your Action Replay over the internet using the PC app supplied. You can also enter codes manually using Action Replay's virtual keyboard. Our code creators are always hard at work on the latest DS titles, so even the very latest games will be trained and tamed within hours of hitting the shelves.
But it’s more than just a game enhancer. Action Replay DS Media Edition also offers a powerful media player, with which you can play your movie and music files. Using the product’s powerful media utilities, you can convert just about any movie format ready for playback on your Action Replay DS Media Edition. It’s easy to transfer converted movies and MP3 music files to your device too, with drag-and-drop convenience.
As well as music and movies, Action Replay DS Media Edition also lets you play home brew games, utilities and demos written for the DS and distributed for free on the internet. Not every program will work with Action Replay DS Media Edition, but that’s the nature of home brew. Even so, there’s plenty great material out there that plays just fine, and the list is growing all the time. We’ve even thrown in a collection of 25 home brew games to get you started – just drag and drop them from your Action Replay DS Media Edition CD onto your MicroSD card (not supplied) and you’re away!
And to cap it all, Action Replay DS Media Edition also offers a sizzling saves manager called DataMAX, a complete solution for backing up, restoring and exchanging your NDS game saves. DataMAX lets you save multiple times in games like Pokémon, which would otherwise let you make only one save at a time, meaning two or more people can play on the same game cart without interfering with each others’ games!
Action Replay DS Media Edition includes an Action Replay DS cartridge, a media software disc, a USB cable and a MicroSD card reader. The MicroSD card is not supplied – buy it separately and choose your own capacity. Action Replay DS Media Edition is compatible with both the original DS and the DS Lite. To update the device, a PC running Windows XP, 200 or Vista (32 bit) and connected to the internet is required.

Compatible with DS and DS Lite.
Real cheat codes on your NDS.
Packed with codes for all the top games.

Fully updateable via your PC.
Manual code entry available.

It’s time to chuck those goofy 3-D glasses. Electrograph just announced the first stand-alone 3-D gaming system. The company says they will show off the system with the Philips 3D WOWvx 42-inch LCD display, at this week’s CEDIA show.
Using the 1920x1080 LCD display and Electrograph’s unnamed, proprietary software drivers, the system can play many of today’s PC games. Ready to accommodate multiple players, the system can show off a wide range of viewing angles with “out-of-screen” effects.
“There is nothing more addicting to kids, teens and even adults than modern video games,” says Jeff Jerome, Electrograph’s director of product management. “In fact, many underutilized home theaters are now serving as supersized game rooms. So imagine the appeal of true 3-D gaming—without the glasses—that the whole family can play.”
Amen brother!
There’s no word on when we will actually see a system hit shelves. However, Electrograph is inviting integrators to start getting certified starting in October.
