tombot has released a two level playable demo of his DS homebrew called Steam. See the project description for the full story and instructions on how to play this game, and join the on-going discussion linked below for more information.


QUOTE(Project Description 08/26/11)

• Steam is a mini-game of sorts where you (a small, unnamed robot) must match a harmony given to you by a computer. To match the harmony, you must open different valves that release notes in the form of steam. Press A to release a valve, and B to close it. When you think you matched the harmony, press A near the computer and it will attempt to match your notes with the harmony.
  
  This is a 2 level demo, one level being easy and one being a bit more complex.
  
  Any recommendations on the volume mix is very helpful.
  
  No collision detection yet, but you stay within the 256x192 area so it's not such a problem.

News via http://hackmii.com/2011/08/final-dsiwarehax/

The final DSiWareHax is now available, goto the exploitslist for the list of exploited DSiWare and the usage instructions for the exploits. The updated Sudokuhax is now available as well, the main change is faster boot.nds loading. You can only copy the new DSiWareHax to your DSi if you’re on 1.4.1 or below, and already have one of the exploited games, since 1.4.2+ blocks copying DSiWare exploits to your DSi “internal memory”. Likewise for obtaining the updated Sudokuhax, you must be on 1.4.1 and have the original Sudoku version.
The procedure for obtaining the new DSiWareHax and the updated Sudokuhax is identical to the original Sudokuhax, as described in the Sudokuhax post and the client software README. The client software was updated as well, updating to this version is required since the server doesn’t support client sw v1.0 anymore.
Hence the title and the 1.4.2 post, this is the last new DSiWareHax that will ever be released, since there’s no way to copy DSiWare exploits to DSi “internal memory” on 1.4.2+ without your system certs. ...

wintermute has emerged from these boxes the port of Doom for Nintendo DS and a string of updates to perfect the result. This new version fixes a problem mainly freeze (which occurs when the volume of sound effects SFX was modified) and adds a keyboard when editing the name of backups.


Obviously you will need the original WAD files episodes of Doom (Doom, Doom II, Plutonia, TNT, etc.). Which you want to play, to be placed in the directory of homebrew.

From: Germany
Division: RETRO GAME
Platform: NDS
Original Enter: YES
Support Motion: NO
In last NEO Compo this project have won in the top 10: NO
Download: Attatchment or http://rapidshare.com/files/479426960/flyin1.0.zip

After many issues (downtime) with this website, it seems to work now...

Project description:
A multi-language (currently English and German, depending on User's preferences) 3D game with little in-game manual...
Control a fly, discover the levels, find the green sphere. But make sure you don't collide with walls, objects, etc, as that wouldn't be healthy for the fly... and you would need to start the level again.
Use the touchscreen to rotate the fly (touch, drag into a direction and hold touchpen on the screen), it accelerates by itself. Red spheres will brake the fly on collision, in most levels you migt also use the L and/or R Key to reduce speed, but only for a limited time (see bar at the bottom of the topscreen).
If you want to pause the game, restart the level or return to menu, press START.

Feel free to contact me if you're willing to design some levels (my current tools convert Wavefront OBJ with BMP UV-Mapped textures, so for example with the free Blender), I'm thinking about implementing a load level from file possibility

How to use:
Download...Unzip...Copy...Play...

In theory Flyin' will create the needed folder "/data/flyin", if saving game progress won't work, try to create it manually (tested on R4).

Enjoy!

Project description:

DScraft is a DS homebrew adaptation of the popular game Minecraft. At the moment this is a rather complete adptation of "creative mode" (or minecraft Classic), which means there is only exploration and creation in this version. I am planning on attempting to adapt survival in future versions !

Downloads
DScraft v200811
DScraft v200811 FAT only (download this if you're having trouble with the previous version)

Texture packs (default jolipack and painterly, visibility and planetpack)

Instructions
Simply drag and drop DScraft.nds and the dscraft directory to your card. dscraft directory should be at the root of the cart; the .nds file can be anywhere though.
Included are a "worlds" directory and mapGen program. The worlds directory contains several pre-generated worlds for you to explore; simply drag and drop the files to the dscraft/worlds directory to install each one.
The mapGen program is used to generate new worlds. Simply execute it and follow the steps.

Texture packs can be installed by unzipping them in a directory in the dscraft/packs folder.
Screenshots are stored in the dscraft/screens directory.





Features
- ability to add and remove blocks
- nice terrain generation (including cliffs, plains, small forests, lakes...)

Nickname: NightFox
Project Name: Mind Maze

Hi!

Another year, another NightFox & Co. project for the compo.

Mind Maze is a compendium of minigames in which intelligence and skill with the stylus are the basics to solve them.

This project, initially created using PALib, was abandoned early because of problems with this library, which forced the cancellation of the project and the creation NFlib on our part, which we use in all our projects since then.


- How to Play.

Main Menu.
At start, Mind Maze ask us to choice if we are right or left handed and give us the possibility to switch languages (English / Spanish).
In the Main Menu, we can move the icons with the stylus, moving them right and left. To select a minigame or option, we must tap the desired icon.

1st Mini Game - Slide Puzzle.
The objective of this minigame is to solve a sliding tile puzzles of 3x4 in the shortest time possible with the less amount of moves.
A better punctuation, gives you more credits to buy more puzzles.

The 2nd minigame - Couples.
This is a memory game. We will have to make 4 pairs per round, in a total of 4 rounds, leaving the "Jocker" card to the end of each round.
If we uncover before we lose all couples accumulated for that round and we will start again.

3rd Mini Game - Labyrinth.
In this game you have to guide the ball through a maze to the exit.
To move it, touch it with the stylus, without lifting it, move on direction that we want to move the ball. The ball will follow the stylus.
The more distant we are from the ball, we got more speed. If we lift the stylus or the ball touches a wall, it lose control and we expect to stop in order to control it again.

4th Mini game - Cubes
The goal is simple, build any of the 4 images available, turning the cubes. To do this, we will touch the desired cube and you have to turn right or left with the stylus. You can rotate the cube faces as many as you like, but remember, when we put back the cube, all surrounding cubes will turn a face in the opposite direction. To insert the cube, simply will touch the screen briefly.

Common Keys.
At any time you can press the buttons A, B, X and Y (skilled) or the arrow keys (left handed) to cancel or exit the current mini-game or menu in which we are.
