Its been less than two months, yet there's already a new release of Yabause. Today, the Yabause team released Yabause 0.8.6 for all platforms that it supports (Dreamcast included). This version is a bugfix release, and really doesn't include any new Dreamcast-related optimizations.
As for general fixes, there was a change to the 68k core to make it so that the emulator doesn't crash if for some reason a game jumps to an invalid address. There were also a few fixes in the VDP1 core, most importantly however was a fix for a bug that caused local coordinate commands not to be executed.
Anyway, you can download it from here. ...by Published on August 18th, 2007 23:13
We have released a new version of ExultPSP with improved controls, heres the release details:
You spoke, and phantomfighter listened. The few of you inspired enough to rummage through decades of belongings, hoping that cd rot had not yet claimed your beloved Ultima Collection discs, know the rare joy of Ultima VII on the Sony PSP. You also know the unjoy of trying to pick up a 3x3 pixel ring or trying to trigger a hidden lever two pixels wide.
Priorities shifted a bit, and attention was turned to ensuring everyone was able to best enjoy the experience. The most immediate impediment to that complete experience was the analog control. A great deal of effort went into revamping the controls, and testing the new scheme. I played through the entire Forge of Virtue addon under the light of stars tonight, and it's that much better when the controls aren't an obstacle.
I think you'll much appreciate this build.
My kindest thanks to the two virtuous lads thus far who have contributed donations, and an apology, for having to suffer sponsored ads on the site. We are still quite a long way from being able to get phantomfighter a dedicated psp, something much deserved, but with luck, we'll get there.
Better things to come. What's this about a DS port?
Show ya support! Let us know what ya think!
I am, and ever shall be, thy servant Arcadion.

Calcprogrammer1 has updated his file browser application, heres whats new:
DSFile2 is out! Features are Dual Slot Copying, Pasting, and Deleting, soon to be Renaming if Wintermute and Chishm get DevKitARM working with rename(). I've redone the interface to fully use two screens, but the keyboard does nothing as of now. It's implemented but commented out because Renaming doesn't work yet.
DSFile2:
New interface, beginnings of renaming, and sourcecode sorted out so it's not so hard to edit.

In the game you have to follow a secuence of colors using the pad while you win the secuence gets bigger. I think is good to improve the memory skills. I want to thank every person who helped me in the project.

The GameSpot News Blog writes about Matt Richtel of the New York Times blogged about the reasons behind differences in the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 editions of some games. Later he revisited the topic after hearing back from EA about the issue.
A representative with the publisher told the writer that as a release date nears, the company sometimes readjusts the manpower on the projects to complete the Xbox 360 version first. With a larger installed base for Microsoft's console, the rep said it makes financial sense to get that version of a game out first and maximize potential sales.
Its worth pointing out that the same tactics were used in the last Gen when PS2 games sometimes got prioritized over Xbox games. Does this mean the tide is turning? Something for the Fanboys to fight over

History :

2 difficulty levels : normal 4x3 and hard 8x6
2 modes of play.

This mode is similar to the original sliding puzzle, but the big new is that there is no border.
This means that in each positions of the empty piece, you will ever got the choice between 4 directions.
All levels are finishable, even when they appear to be impossible.

These places are indicated on the map, but are only shown at zoom levels greater than 5 for legibility. To obtain information about a place, you only have to touch its location with the stylus. The information are displayed on the upper screen, where you can switch between a picture of the place, a description, or its location on a global map.
You can also browse the whole list sorted by countries by pressing the Y button. When you click on a place in the list, the same information are displayed on the upper screen, and you can directly go to this location by touching the "Go!" button.

News/release from Tobin:
Quite a long time since the last release, but now there is version 0.3 of DSchess!
DSchess is a homebrew chess game for the Nintendo DS, which is based on the strong chess engine Fruit by Fabien Letouzey.
I have made some changes a year ago, but was too busy to actually release something. Last week I have grabbed my DS recorded some sounds with Nitrotracker and put it all together to version 0.3.
The last version had some problems on some devices, so I have made a compatibility table on my site. Please leave a reply if it works (or does not work) for you with a device and/or start method which isn't in the table.
The new version uses DLDI, but remember that this is only necessary for the bigger opening book and the new auto save feature.
