News/release from DaMerv
TruFlow version 1.0
advanced coverflow type music browser
by Da MerV
Put the folder "truflow" in your "Games" folder. Your music goes in the "music" folder in the "truflow" folder. Add your cover art to the "music" folder with the same name as your mp3. The program will fetch cover art in the following order:
1. PNG with same name
2. JPG with same name
3. id3 cover art
4. General Album Cover
Due to size limitations, some cover art might not be fetched if the image is too large. When you run TruFlow for the first time, it will index your music folder. All the cover art is copied to the cache folder. If you change your music folder, you must reindex the music folder. To do this, go into the menu and select "Reset cache". The button configuration is as follows:
Cross: plays the selected album, select menu item
Square: stops playing the current song
Circle: pauses/plays the current song
Triangle: displays/closes menu
L/R: play previous/next song
Left/Right: browse albums one by one
Analog nub: scrolls through albums
Up/Down: change selection in menu
There is a slight delay when a song first starts. I have noticed some trouble with mp3's encoded at 320 or higher. If you experience any problems, please notify Da_MerV of the details. I can be found on forums.qj.net or on my website, merv.recoding.net.
Thanks for trying TruFlow
Special thanks to Sakya and Homemister for help with ME.
Update is coming soon!

Some great news for any folks considering PS2 Development:
News from LBGSHI
I've been working on reviving Win32 homebrew PS2 development, by tackling its most irritating problem: that there currently isn't a working Win32 development environment available. As such, the only way to program with the (PS2Dev.org) PS2SDK has been via Linux, either actually installed, or from within a virtual environment....
Hence, starting from a base of Lukasz Bruun's tutorial on installing the PS2SDK in MinGW, and with help from several people in the PS2Dev scene (who I will mention below), I've fixed, built, further fixed, and slightly revamped the MinGW environment and current PS2SDK, for use right out of the box (or the archive, in this case). Copied and pasted from the readme.txt I threw together:
_________________________________________
This is the fully compiled PS2SDK, using msys and MinGW (fixed), including gsKit (fixed) and the SDL port (for further graphics support), SDL Mixer (for better sound/music support) and ps2-packer-lite-0.4.4-win32 (for packing and unpacking, and in alignment with some sources floating around the 'net). Essentially, we have a fully-built, standard PS2SDK, and additional functionality through gsKit, SDL, SDL-Mixer, and PS2-Packer Lite.
This package is current, as of July 19, 2008 (and will probably remain current for some time, given the rate of updates to PS2SDK).
To install, simply extract the mingw and msys directories into C:\, and run msys.bat, under c:\msys\1.0\. If you like, make a shortcut to msys.bat, and throw it on your desktop or Start menu, for quicker access. If you'll be checking things out via SVN (which you probably will, at some point), install Subversion by running svn-1.4.5-setup.exe.
To test your environment, change directory up to 1.0 (type "cd .." without quotes), then cd down to local/ps2dev/ps2sdk/samples (type "cd local/ps2dev/ps2sdk/samples"), choose a sample and cd into its directory (for example, type "cd cube"), then type "make". If you get the message "No targets specified and no makefile found", there's likely a subdirectory that contains the source you're looking to compile (as there is in several of the samples). Simply type "ls" to list the directory's contents, choose a subdirectory, type "cd subdirectory" (replacing subdirectory with whatever it's really called, of course), then try typing "make" again. If you compile something, then later want to compile it again (perhaps you modified it, or modified your environment), simply type "make clean", then type "make".
A little later, I'll provide a collection of compilable source, by many authors, which you can simply extract into your c:/msys/1.0/home directory, cd into after starting msys, and compile.
Thanks go out to:
Lukasz Bruun, for doing 99% of the work (this environment is based on his MinGW PS2SDK tutorial, with several modifications and fixes), and also for giving me a few nudges in the right direction involving gsKit, SDL, and romfs (the latter of which is still a work-in-progress).
ps2devman, for providing some Cygwin files for gsKit - as MinGW couldn't properly build gsKit without them, and PS2SDK will no longer build in Cygwin, thus I had no direct way of getting the files myself - and for providing help with fixing gsKit, and helping to update some source code of his to compile with the current PS2SDK (the more compilable source, the better
).
ptek, for providing several Cygwin files and some good info for the attempted romfs fix, which is still being worked on.
Oobles, for PS2Dev.org.
Many people, for PS2SDK.
And everyone else in the PS2 development scene

News via Nintendomax:
News/release from MasterDJE:
MasterDje out a new version of "Chuck Norris Facts DS", which includes exceptional jokes on our beloved Chuck Norris. This new release brings honour the multilanguage with the Japanese, the German, Italian, the English and the Spanish.
The interface is translated to 70%: it lacks 20% German, 8% of things to restore order and still 2% to explain that I do NOTHING to Japanese, gome nasai everything ...
Notice to German, if someone (or, of course) reasoned (e) wants to bring a handful of facts and the various texts of the interface, it will have its name roughly somewhere (hence, bottom , Looks well ...) and my gratitude. there is a little more, I leave you?

News/release from Paines:
Vorton is a remake of the classic game Highway Encounter.
From Wikipedia:
Highway Encounter is a strategy/action game played from a 3D isometric perspective in which you must successfully
chaperone a bomb along a long, straight stretch of highway and into the alien base at the end of it. There are
thirty screens to pass through and most are filled with hazards that threaten to block your progress (such as
barrels) or destroy you (aliens and explosive mines).
Players control a robotic "Vorton" (resembling a dalek from Doctor Who) and one of the things that provides Highway
Encounter with its unique appeal is that the bomb is constantly being pushed onwards by your extra lives - four more
Vortons, who accompany you along the highway. It is in fact possible for all your extra lives to be lost without the
player character being destroyed once.
Controls:
Jostrick - Move the roboter
B - Shoot
Select - Exit to Menu
Issues/Known Bugs:
There is a ton of issues/bugs. This is a Beta release to keep the GP2X Community happy. Hope you like it a bit.
Thats all for now.
Best regards
paines
