Rize has released a new Homebrew game called Flux for the Nintendo DS, the game is a Tetris type game, heres more info:

Flux is an action-puzzle game for Nintendo DS of the falling block variety. Players must place blocks so that like colored tiles are adjacent. When the length of such a series of tiles approaches the minimum chain length, the orb-shaped tiles will begin to morph into cubes. When the minimum chain length is reached, a volatile chain of cubes is formed. The player can continue to add to the chain increasing its size. When he chooses, the player may tap any volatile chain to destroy it causing the remaining tiles to settle into the newly created hole. Every 50 tiles destroyed increases the minimum chain length by one requiring the player to create increasingly large collections of tiles to keep the playing field clear.

Didou has released a great new game for the Nintendo DS, heres the Info:

I just made available a playable early version of my first real homebrew game on NDS: ReboNDS. The principle is the simple Bounce game (instanciate by X-Bounce, K-Bounce or whatever-Bounce . You just have to fill the screen by, avoiding bouncing balls from cutting you. I plan to add transition screens (some are already ready), bonuses, maluses, micro support (to shout "SCH.T" in order to cancel a line that will be hit by a ball )...

According to DSPassMe.com, "PassMe DOES NOT work with Ique DS and NEW Red DS! If you own either of these, don't bother buying one untill I have a new version available. Loopy (who rocks) has a working version of PassMe for the iQue DS and is working out the 'kinks'. I will update if it works with the Red DS when it has been confirmed."

News from Chris Double

Lots of translation news. Some of my tutorials have been translated into Japanese by Shunji Sugiura. You can see the Japanese translations here. The site for the french translations has moved here and two new Polish translations - tutorials five and six.

DSEmu progress has been slow due to a heavy workload at my job, but I've started pushing through some of the patches I've received from contributers. Over the next few days the darcs source repository will start getting updates and hopefully a release within the next week or two.

alex_dsnews has posted in this topic (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=9159) something that will please fans of the ZX Spectrum until a real ZX Spectrum emulator is released, heres what he said:

Using fMSX and the attached .dsk image of an ancient Speccy emulator for the MSX, it's entirely possible to run 48k BASIC at a half decent speed. Sadly, the emulator doesn't support snapshots and stuff, but it's nice to see the Spectrum BASIC prompt on the PSP screen...

Use the .dsk image I've made (zipped) as a normal MSX disk, in MSX2+ mode, then enter RUN "ROMU6.BAS" using the fMSX on screen keyboard (right trigger). And then wait about 5 seconds.

Heres the screenshot:

Something to keep us busy till a real ZX Spectrum emulator arrives ...

Im sure you have noticed that this last week ive not been the Speed Devil that i normally am, one reason was my holiday to Skegness (came back after 4 days) and yesterday a works outing where i got exceedingly drunk but its all hands on the pumps now and im back to getting the news (and testing and verifying before i post) out to you as quick as i can.

Something to remember is that i am the webmaster of 17 emulation and homebrew sites and apart from the main Dreamcast Site (http://www.dcemu.co.uk) and the forums (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/) where we have some great staff and helpers i run the sites alone and i dont use a Content Management System, so its all done manually. Not to mention i Work and have a wife and family so if you look at the whole picture this site and the others keep up quite well

People have asked if im in competition with other sites or even jealous, the fact is all sites are in competition and competition makes a scene stronger as long as sites dont get out of line for whatever reason and then it takes someone to point out the problems and im a person who wont hold back , and im proud of the sites and forums i have and im not in any way shape jeaolous of others .

anyway lets get back to some great PSP emulation and Homebrew news ...

Alexmae of PSP Italia has released a new game made via LUA, this game is a rather amusing Dancing Banana game (for those that like that sort of thing).

Louie Iturzaeta has emailed me and asked me to host his awesome new Musical App for the PSP, heres the info

PSP Rhythm Composer is a TR-x0x style drum machine. It features a easy to use
16 step sequencer, 16 drump pattern loops and 16 drum sounds.

-=How to use the drum sequencer=-
There are 16 buttons on the bottom of the screen. Each one represents a step
in a measure. There is a red line above the step currently selected. When you
press the X button the step will light up orange for regular sound, then red
for accented sound and green for flam (hits accented drum twice).

There is a bar above the buttons, the note represents each beat and whole
gray bar shows you which buttons (steps) are in that beat.

To change the drum sounds press up or down on the D-Pad. The currently
selected drum will display on the screen. The buttons on the bottom of the
screen will also light up and show you the programming of the drum hits.

I can tell you it works fine on v1.0 PSP as well as v1.5
