Poffy has updated his Text Editor for the DS, not sure whats new but download from Comments ...

DSMultTouch 3:

Faster screen clearing code thanks to DragonMin, Joat, and LiraNuna.
memset(VRAM_A, 0, 98304) FTW!
Pressure Detection based on one line of Natrium’s “UnderPressureDemo“.
Also removed almost ALL sparse readings due to light touches.
TouchDetection = if((touchXY.py>0) && (pressure < 192))
Note, stylus has a pressure of around 140, and thumb around 40.
Two fingers give different results.
Pressure Indication circle thanks to Bresenham’s Algorithm and StoneCypher’s hint of its existence.
Better Interface.
Re-Wrote code completely without any while loops.
In normal touchscreen detection code, my code can be dropped in for global reporting of Dual and Single touch and all 3 points.
Simply copy DSMultiTouch.cpp to an NDSLib template project to compile. Comment out screenshot a fat driver unless you know where to get them. (Chism and DesktopMan/LiraNuna)

Upspear is an application to fully manage the Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP), from a PC. It's thought for PSPs with firmware 1.50, at least for the moment. Support for other firmwares may be added in the future, if you think you need it, convince me .

Version 0.15 of Upspear has just been released.

Changes WRT version 0.1test0 are as follows:

- Implemented a quite good "Install homebrew" function.
- Savedata can now be backed up to ZIP files.
- Homebrew applications can now be reordered to user's preferences.
- Application and savedata directories are now hidden in the GUI, an
option to show them has been added to the menus.
- Rewritten rename hacking detection, now supports more methods
(including SeiPSPtool's, thanks to everybody who sent feedback for
this).
- Can now unhide applications.
- Added a warning when hiding applications that have a chance of not
working with hidden directory names.
- Fixed utime() 'bug' on Windows, which caused pushing icons to
bottom not to work (Maybe now this works on MacOS X too?).
- Added "Disconnect PSP" option to menus.
- Added application and savedata size to the GUI.
- Added a "hidden" checkbox for applications.
- Menus are now properly disabled when they should not be selected.
- Added a method to build the GTK+ runtime environment for Windows from
zipfiles provided on www.gtk.org. Also added GtkThemeSelector to it.
- Changed version number scheme, removing the "test" part. Actually
every release should be considered a test release .
- Registered the project on Gna!.
- Many bugfixes.

Downloads are available on the program homepage at
http://home.gna.org/upspear/, where now we also have mailing lists, which every user is welcome to join. Of course feedback is appreciated . ...

kotami, the console hacker behind the NEStation (NES styled after the PS2) and the Mini Sega MegaDrive/Genesis , is back again with a detailed re-creation of the original NES style on a Nintendo DS. (more pictures here)

His original post is in French, but I'll do my best to translates his thoughts on the project. He wanted to show of the design of the original NES controller when you open the DS up. It alse sports the simple style of the NES console on the outer shell.

He painted the top with a clear grey paint and the lower part of the DS in a dark grey to match that of the NES's base. It may seem simple, but it closely matches the overall style of the NES. Once opened, you can see the famous grey band and red lettering. The buttons were also colored carefully.
