"The topic du jour was all about TV, but this morning at NewTeeVee Live - an industry conference that explores the future of television - Xbox LIVE general manager Marc Whitten confirmed the next wave of social entertainment is coming to Xbox LIVE on November 17. Starting next week, Facebook, Twitter, Last.fm and instant on HD video from Zune will be available on Xbox 360 consoles, transforming Xbox LIVE into the largest social network connected to the TV with exclusive features custom-designed for the living room."

November 17th is the big day when Zune comes to the Xbox 360! Engadget has some great videos that they've disabled embedding on, so you'll have to go over to their site to see them. One of the interesting features is the ability to watch a movie in a shared virtual environment - meaning you can have a "movie party" and have several online friends watch the same movie at the same time, and you can emote certain things - and talk - while the movie is going on. I don't know how often I'd want to do that - probably never - but it's a neat use of technology to bridge distances between friends. The videos in the Zune video marketplace are 1080p, and support "instant on" streaming. Myself, I'm most curious to see what will happen to the selection of movies - it's always been pretty poor in Canada, and we've never had TV shows for download. If you want to get great online video in Canada, iTunes is pretty much the only game. I hope this Xbox update changes that!

Updated release from PixelDragon

Hi Everyone

Back again with the latest update to PSPedict, now at V0.3.

The biggest change is the inclusion of Tanaka Corpus example sentences.
There are example sentences for approximately 20,500 unique words.

As the Tanaka Corpus is considered a work in progress, included with the
download is a Windows application called "EdictUpdate" which can be
used to update the example sentences in the EDICT files. Further
instructions on how to use this tool can be found by clicking the "About"
button when the application is open. The EDICT files in the download
have already been updated. I have only tested the application on Vista.

A quick disclaimer regarding the example sentences. Please do not expect
each sentence to be a perfect match. Sometimes the sense of the word
is not correct, and other times the Japanese or English sentence may
contian errors. They should only be used as a rough guide or for context.

Ant512 has released a new version of Woopsi for the DS:

Heres whats new:

Version 0.40 is now out.

This release is the first alpha version. At this point I'm mainly concerned with bugfixing and tidying up than adding significant new features.

Big changes this time around include the removal of PALib support and a directory restructure. This is the first release of Woopsi that ships as a proper library. Installation instructions are included in the zip file, but it's essentially a matter of just copying the libwoopsi folder to the devkitpro folder.

Additionally, there are a lot of improvements to the graphics API, are a few new example and test projects, and a sizeable number of bugfixes.

Download from SourceForge as usual:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/woopsi/

- Fixes:
- PALib support removed.
- Pointer to selected day button in calendar resets to NULL when new month selected; prevents day button incorrectly popping up if same button is clicked in new month.
- Calendar::getPreferredSize() returns valid values.
- Label text is greyed out when disabled.
- Huge speed increase in Calendar::resize().
- Calendar's child controls correctly fill entire available space.
- Calendar correctly selects date if new day is the same as old day but in a different month.
- Gadget drag event only raised if stylus is actually moved whilst dragging mode active.
- ScrollingPanel drag and scroll events only raised if stylus is actually moved whilst dragging mode active.
- MultiLineTextBox greys out text when disabled.
- MultiLineTextBox::removeText() correctly repositions cursor.
- TextBox greys out text when disabled.
- Scrolltest compiles correctly.
- SimpleScreen and SimpleWindow helper gadgets removed.
- Renamed LinkedList to WoopsiLinkedList and LinkedListIterator to WoopsiLinkedListIterator to avoid type clashing with LinkedList in devkit.
- Tidied up woopsifuncs.h.
- SuperBitmap::getBitmap() returns a pointer to the Bitmap object instead of the Bitmap object's raw pixel data.
- Moved skinned gadgets out of main library and into bonus folder.
- Removed fatInitDefault() stub method for SDL out of individual .cpp files and into nds.h.
- dimmedscreen.h includes woopsi.h.
- Graphics::drawBitmap() clips correctly if bitmap destination co-ords are greater than the size of the destination bitmap.
- GraphicsPort::drawPixel() clips correctly.
- GraphicsPort::drawXORPixel() clips correctly.
- Replaced DMA_Force and DMA_Copy with woopsiDmaForce() and woopsiDmaCopy() to fix ancient problems with DMA not seeing latest RAM state.

- New Features:
- Calendar test added.
- MultiLineTextBox test added.
- TextBox test added.
- Added an overload to GraphicsPort to print a length of a string in a specific colour.
- Restructured directories into traditional library layout.
- Upgraded main project to VC++ 2008.
- Added libwoopsi.a to SVN.
- Added template example that uses libwoopsi.
- Reorganised demo code into new demo directory.
- BitmapIO class can load 16-bit BMP images with any pixel encoding.
- BitmapIO class can load V3, V4 and V5 DIB headers.
- BitmapLoader example illustrates loading of most supported BMP types.
- Added skinned gadget example.
- Added SkinIO class to bonus folder - loads skins from disk.
- Added BitmapBase class to define basic interface for a bitmap.
- Added BitmapWrapper to enable included (not loaded) bitmap data to be used as a read-only Bitmap object.
- Moved drawing code out of Bitmap class into new Graphics class.
- Added MutableBitmapBase class to define basic interface for an editable bitmap.
- Added FrameBuffer class to wrap framebuffer inside a bitmap class.
- All references to DrawBg array now work with frameBuffer array.
- Added GraphicsUnclipped to perform raw unclipped bitmap drawing.
- GraphicsPort inherits from GraphicsUnclipped in order to reduce code repetition.
- Font system uses new Bitmap object hierarchy.
- System fonts available as global objects.
- Rewritten clipping routine in Font and MonoFont.
- Reorganised VC++ project with more filters.
- Rect struct moved out of Gadget class and into separate header.
- SuperBitmap no longer includes drawing functions; instead it exposes a non-const pointer to its bitmap and a non-const pointer to a Graphics object that can draw to the bitmap.
- Added bitmapdrawing example.
- Added gadgetdrawing example.
- Added blit() and blitFill() methods to Bitmap and FrameBuffer, and signatures to MutableBitmapBase.
- Added getData(x, y) method to all bitmap classes.

Hotelsinus continuous development of its sequencer "TonesynthDS"We offer the 0.23 version.




Citation:
What's new:

2009.10.31 v0.23
! Start playing a pattern will not skip the first accord and start immediately after the click.
! Position led flickering has been decreased.
! Pattern play pauseing is accurte when you play a test sound. (althoug maybe a little extra delay would be nice)
+ Low pass filter with resonance. Cut frequency starts from 16384Hz. At the right end of the 'cut' slider the lpf is turned off, so the resonanc will not work there. At the right end of the 'res' slider the original sample is pretty distorted. It is not a bug; it comes from the math. I have left it in. May be it will be good for something.
- Every calculation have fallen back to 32768Hz. I kept it in 44100 originaly because of the ndsi, but this was just too slow (and not just because more sample should be calculated). I think I will simply create an ndsi version later.
! A nice big optimalization (not just the base frequency decreasing). Now the sample generation is faster even with the lpf.
+ Selectible scales. (chromatic,ionian,dorian,phrygain,lydian,locrian) You have to regenerate the bank to hear the difference. In every scale the first note is C3. In the previous versions ionian was the default.
