New release from ADePSP:
This is a module for Devhook that extends the functionality of the existing screenshot module. Taking and modifying the code for the Video Recorder from the LCS CheatDevice by Edison Carter I have adapted it into a prx module so it can be used with DevHook.
You are no longer limited to taking animated GIF clips in Liberty City Stories. It can now be done in any game you like. You can even capture out of game clips such as game menus, loading animations and even the XMD.
You can record video in normal mode (half the screen size) or advanced mode (full or quarter screen size) and all files will be saved to the PSP/PHOTO folder. It is recommended you use normal mode or advanced mode in QUARTER_SIZE as advanced mode in FULL_SIZE slows the game down a lot and makes it difficult to play.
The animated GIF files are uncompressed so make sure you have plenty of memory stick space in order to store them (don't worry, if you run out of space the module will simply stop working). You can compress the GIF files massivly without loosing any quality using the GIFAnimator.exe program provided. It is a very good idea to do this if you intend to post your clips on forums.
Heres whats new in this release:
v0.2
- 16bit screen displays now supported (thanks edison)
- Stop recording button combo more responsive
- Config file added allowing customizable controls and video settings

Jeremysr has posted a new entry in our Dream Coding Grand Prix Coding Competition, heres the details:
This is version 3 of my DSLua Skydiver game. Only a couple of you have played it before so I'll explain it. A plane moves at the top of the screen, and there is a pool of water surrounded by spikes at the bottom. You need to hit the touch screen at the right moment so that the diver will fall into the target. (He'll jump out of the plane as soon as you touch the touch screen.)
In this version I've added wind, highscores, a menu, and an "infinite" mode where you play for as long as you can until you die. Infinite mode saves your highest score.
See _INSTRUCTIONS.TXT to find out how to run it. (DSLua makes you go through some menus to get to the game...)

Smurph released a very helpful tool that automates the process of creating a ROM List for GenesisPlusDC:
Copies and renames rom zipfiles from one location to another, and creates a romlist according to the filenames of the zips. Optionally, it strips goodcodes.
Download it here or via the attachment in our forums.
Requires .NET Framework 1.1 or higher. If you get a runtime error when you launch the executable, you probably don't have it. You can download it off microsoft's site.
The DCS Wiki article about GenesisPlusDC will be updated shortly.

Via Gamasutra
As we've recently remarked here on Gamasutra, Nintendo's DS continues to dominate both hardware and software sales in Japan. But we looked to Ricciardi and Minamoto for some more explanation - is it that the DS is penetrating new retail stores, or is it just that existing stores are selling massive amounts of DS games? Riccardi comments of the games: "I think they're just being sold more in places they were already sold... Most people will buy their games at [large Japanese electronics retail stores] Bic Camera or Yodobashi Camera - you will get discounts [with a special loyalty card]."
But overall, Ricciardi noted that the DS has "...broken [games] into a much more mainstream thing than it used to be." For example, Minamoto's father recently bought a DS without any prompting from her. Ricciardi continues of the DS' near-total domination of the game charts: "I don't see it slowing down soon... [even though] you can't predict anything here.. it's penetrated so much." Minamoto adds: "So many people just bought the DS - they're not going to throw it out after 6 months.."
So why is DS especially popular in Japan - and may not ever reach that level in the West? Apart from the content being right, Ricciardi notes: "The culture here is more suitable to have a handheld game in the first place", with plenty of train journeys and other opportunities to play brief game sessions. Minamoto adds: "The Keitai [cellphone] industry opened up the possibility of playing games in such a way - that's why DS had an easier path." ...by Published on September 27th, 2006 00:24

Heres an excerpt
Let's get one thing right out the way: we're not massive fans of Taito's previous DS "re-imaginings" of its classic franchises, Bubble Bobble and Rainbow Island. Ultimately, where the developer failed was in its mistaken belief that audiences would delight in having their dewy-eyed nostalgia ripped apart by awkward touch-screen gimmickry, shoe-horned into bona fide classics under the guise of gameplay "innovation".
With that out the way, here's the good news: Taito has shown remarkable restraint in its handling of New Zealand Story Revolution - which is probably wise given the original game's fanatical following. In case you're not a member of the NZS brotherhood, Taito's classic sees you stepping into the sneakers of Tiki, a yellow kiwi bird, in a bid to rescue your feathered friends from the clutches of an evil leopard seal, following their abduction from the zoo. Shakespeare it ain't, but what the original game did have was old-skool charm by the bucketload - with some of the most memorable characters, levels and tunes ever wrangled into binary. It's also a complete ******* of a game thanks to its arcade roots.
