    News/release from leinad

    1: "WTF is eAthena??!" -> eAthena is an Server software for Ragnarok (Its a MMORPG, More infos:google is your friend)- It's used on private servers~

    Btw: It's not illegal to use eAthena / that client~ ...
    The only thing thats mainly illegal on that private servers is, that they're offering the copyright Material of the official Client on their own Patchers...
    [Iv just wanted to say that...]

    Now, my Project~

    during the last time, I've coded on an client for that Server, actually, I've done some progress and I want to know, what you are thinking... I just want to know your oppinion~
    + Something you can read some lines down...

    Now, since I can't post screens because it uses Wifi&DLDI, I will offer the "game" (I don't think It can be called a real game atm).


    How-To, Add a server to the list:
    open server.cfg in an editor, insert the infos that~:
    Server: Name : IP : Port ;
    !! You must place the : / ; right
    Dont remove the ## , since it tels the game to stop reading~

    Download: http://uploaded.to/?id=2u011z
    Extract to the root of your card
    Maps: http://sourceforge.net/project/downl...pack-2.0.5.zip
    [It uses the Openkore-Fields] Copy the maps into the ndsro folder, there is also an folder fields, just replace it.


    Credits: To Fear, for helping me learning C and to be there for every question I have x)
    To everyone who made PAlib~ (even if the only function Iv realy used yet, the Text func were)
    Everyone who made the Fieldpack~
    Everyone who made eAthena, since it would be much harder without some Sourcecode~

    Now, Im actualy thinking of, how to continue~
    I want an engine, which can display as much as possible and dont lag the DS... So I think I will leave the Text-based map.
    Do you think it would be ok to play such an game on a text-map xP ?

    Readme~:

    News/release from ScottMcfly:

    Since this is the fourth release of this, I've decided to stop calling it "My First Homebrew", as it's actually starting to take shape now and I don't need that excuse anymore

    So here's Version 0.4! Main additions in this release:

    * A basic stats page has been added to help you keep track of your win/draw/loss record and how many blackjack's you've racked up. These reset when you return to the main menu.

    * The background has now been extended over both screens, so the top screen is now no longer just black, which makes it look a lot better IMO.

    * The buttons now fade-out when going to the next page to add a bit of polish to the game.

    * If the player gets blackjack, the dealer will no longer take any cards (as there's no point!) unless they're on a 10 or an ace in which case they take one more card to check if they have blackjack too.

    * General tweaks to the split card system in regards to giving you new cards and how they appear on screen.

    * And finally a nice sound effect on button presses, the first piece of audio to make it into a release, hooray!

    As I mentioned, there's a lot of transparency now used in the game with the buttons and the white strip behind the player and dealer scores. So make sure the emulator you're playing on supports it or it'll just look weird, but as always I recommend playing on actual hardware for the full experience.

    Now, with the background now on the top screen, I had to add some white strips to make the scores visible, which isn't ideal and I don't like the way it looks quite frankly. But this is only temporary, and I have plans for the next release that will mean they won't be needed anymore.

    As for that next release, I'll be expanding the stats page, hopefully improving the graphics on the top screen some more and perhaps get some instructions written up so that people unfamiliar with the game can learn to play!

    Any feedback is appreciated, hope you enjoy it!

    French game developer Nobilis knows what the young ladies want. They want to learn all about making them babies - the cute, collectible mini-humans you can grow inside your own body! While I've got no real information outside of the April release in Europe for their upcoming My Baby Boy and My Baby Girl games, which split babies up into two different sexes to reflect the fact that women can always choose which they prefer, the introduction to the website has to be seen to be believed. Starting off all black with a video clip of an ultrasound, I thought this might be a real, honest-to-goodness realistic look at pregnancy and childbirth. Then the above image pops up, and my hopes are dashed. What we need is a baby raising game with a distraught, bedraggled woman sitting on the floor, up to her wrists in baby poop. I suppose I can dream.

    In the wake of the NIU shooting and various pundits finding ways to link violent video games to the tragedy, MSNBC has decided to defend video games, specifically calling out infamous attorney Jack Thompson for his self promotion during school shootings. (They have done this once before during the Virginia Tech massacre.)

    In a piece entitled "Playing the blame game: Why search our souls when video games make such an easy scapegoat?" MSNBC's Winda Benedetti writes, "Faster than you can say wild speculation and reckless sensationalism, [Thompson] leapt in front of Fox News cameras and suggested that video games were to blame." Later, Benedetti adds, "The fact is, one would be hard pressed to find a young man of Kazmierczak's age who has not played video games."

    Thompson is, unsurprisingly, a bit put out. In an email to MSNBC legal department forwarded to us by Thompson, the Miami attorney asserted his intention to "bring a civil action in state court in Flordia for libel." Thompson further called the two articles "hit pieces" and "crazed and libelous screed" and mentions that NBC did not mind having him on the Today Show / NBC Nightly news about ten times.

    "But once my criticism began to inconvenience Bill Gates' NBC partner, Microsoft, (MSNBC.com is a 50/50 partnership) then all of a sudden I'm the Anti-Christ," said Thompson.

    Brace yourself Gizmondo fans, for it seems that not all of Carl Freer's recent prognostications about the resurrection of the ill-fated handheld are exactly coming to pass. While he apparently is still intent on bringing the handheld back from the dead, he now tells Swedish journalist Hans Sandberg that he was being "too optimistic" with the stated May 2008 launch date, and that it should now be available "by the end of 2008." That deal with Plextek to build the new device apparently is still in place, however, and Freer's "co-pilot" in this latest endeavor, Mikael Ljungman, is reportedly on his way to China this week to check out the manufacturing operations. Needless to say, we'll be keeping you posted on any future developments, or future delays.

    Not a whole lot to go on right now, but German site HDTV Praxis has it that both Paramount and Universal will now make the obvious choice and publish their films on Blu-ray. Notably, this follows hints seen in certain Circuit City databases as well as word that we've received noting that both studios would indeed make things easy on everyone and simply support the one format still standing. Interestingly, DreamWorks isn't mentioned in the linked article per se, but we've all ideas it'll be following suit shortly.

    Update: Universal's president Craig Kornblau had this to say: "While Universal values the close partnership we have shared with Toshiba, it is time to turn our focus to releasing new and catalog titles on Blu-ray."

    According to man-about-town, Robert X. Cringely, Samsung is readying not one, but two separate Android-based phones, one of which is due in September, with another model following around Christmas. If you believe what you read (and what his tipster says), these phones will not be labeled Samsung, rather they will be released as Google-branded gPhones. The model released in the Fall will be a "higher-end" model which apparently looks "somewhat like a Blackberry Pearl" but with a screen that flips and "a keyboard for texting" (though to be honest, that description makes little sense, as the Pearl has a keyboard). The second device will be a cheaper model (under $100), and will likely be released after the holidays. Of course, right now this is just speculation -- given the large gap of time between now and September, these plans could be completely rearranged or nixed altogether... even if they are accurate.

    Although the MacBook Air's multitouch trackpad is pretty nifty, it looks like Apple has even grander plans in store -- a recent patent filing describes the MBA's current features as "Basic Multitouch" and contains descriptions of "Advanced" touch operations like system control, file management and browser navigation. While the filing details using a combination of the thumb and two fingers to cut, copy and paste -- something that seems awfully relevant to that little iPhone thing Apple sells -- what we're most intrigued by is the description of the "side pinky swipe" to control system functions like volume and screen brightness. Since the side of the pinky produces a different shape than your fingertip on the touch sensor, the system can automatically recognize it, making it ideal for quick adjustments -- we're already dreaming up lists of macros to trigger. Of course, there's no telling if and when we'll ever see this stuff in a product, but it's probably not a coincidence the iPhone, iPod touch, and MacBook Air all use the same Broadcom touch controller -- let's hope those long-awaited new MacBook Pros join the club, eh?

    In case you were wondering how Sony's software performed during the month of January in Japan, the Famitsu Marketing Data Service recently broke down the sales and delivered some numbers for any curious parties. This information pertains to sales occurring between December 31, 2007 and January 27, 2008.

These sales translate to market shares of 1.4%, 8.4% and 9.1%, respectively -- that's almost 20% of the total market share. While no information on 360 software was provided, Nintendo's Wii and DS titles are still outselling Sony's products by a significant margin, with over 80% of the total market share for software.

    Notable titles include Monster Hunter Freedom 2 and Star Ocean: The First Departure for the PSP -- both of which were in the Top 20 best-selling games of January. ...
