TomServo has posted in our forums a new version of RushHour:
I can post my next generation version of RushHour DS. Titled the "Carpool Edition" because not only does it incorporate the solution to the slot-1 saving issues, but now you can save the unique progress for up to 4 games so you and 3 of your family members can each save your own games....
I've tested it fully on my M3DS-Simply card, and Groquick says it works on his R4. If you experience problems on other cards or devices, let me know and I will certainly take a look.
But, for now, here is RushHour DS Carpool Edition.
This zip contains both the ds.gba and the .nds files, since even the users of slot-2 cards might want the multiple game save feature.by Published on November 7th, 2008 10:36

From the last release I've updated all the graphics (including EBOOT), fixed a few bugs and made menu navigation alot better.
What is this?
This is a BlackJack game with a bit of a twist, like in blackjack you can hit, stand, double down and split. However this aims to help you beat the casino by helping the practice of card counting and basic strategy Whistling.
To help with the basic card counting there is a page that you can flip through a deck of cards and try to keep count, you can check to see if your count is good at any time and your also timed so you know when you've improved.
There's also the three basic strategy tables that can be viewed, these show you how each hand should be played but with the knowledge of the card count, which is also kept on the game you play, you can determin your percentages of winning more.
Then there's the actual game this is just how it could be played in a casino, there's five decks, dealer stands on 17, you can hit, stand, double down and split, five card trick counts, you have a wallet and can change your bet. But as this is to practice you can check on the running count, the true count and the basic strategy tables. A good idea for practice is laid out in counting101 (bottom link).
For more information on card counting and basic strategy look at these links:

No release yet but heres the news from shinydude100
Captain Morgan, Moers, Kreationz, Shinydude100 and Wally Have recieved the compiled eboot of Daedalusx64 Version 0.01 A (Alpha). There are only a few games I've tested out, and what I can say to everyone is that while it isn't %100 full-speed yet, it has had an increase in FPS. Certain games have dramatic speed-increases that are sustained in certain spots like main menus and logos. I almost screamed when I saw the Nintendo Logo on The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time run for like a good second at 129 FPS. Then of course it dropped down, but the menu before initiating game-play ran at about 55-60 Frames per second. The area of the game where Link walks out of his house to be greeted by Sarah, that seemed to run at about 8 Fps Average, but it goes up and down, the Z target makes it jump up to 9 FPS and running around drops it to a 6.8 to 7.. Each PSP may run this differently due to: If your psp is at 333 Mhz, if your options are set the same way I have mine, etc. I have made a short clip of LOZOOT, but don't go crying when you see its impressive frame-rate as other areas are still not fulfilling for some...(That'll be my next goal, to get a caching MUCH like the NeoGeo with Rom Conversion possibly) Well thats it for now, I'll get the video up when I get the nearest chance, You will not ber dissapointed DaedalusX64 Community... just ask the other 4 Authorized Alpha Testers at what they have to say about it. ;-)
Heres some screens:
also this update from chillywilly:
Screenshots of Mario64 running on my TV. The aspect ratio in the pictures looks off, but remember these are a shots of an NTSC TV. I have it set for no overscan. Oh - fixed the screenshot function too. It was dumping the screen after one update when it needed to be dumping after two updates. Now you actually get an image instead of a blank screen.

Art has released a new version of his Game for the PSP:
Hi Guys,
This is a laser control game based on the PSP laser control idea by califrag.
Laser Invaders is coded from scratch, using the ps2dev.org Go!Cam demo
as a template.
Version 4 has a moving starfeild, but in a still screenshot it just looks like a
bunch of white dots. This release also has another invader.
Now all of the original invaders feature in the game.
The screenshot doesn't really convey the idea, so here's the videos:
PSP and laser area view of V1:
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=AA9kmoSB73c
PSP screen closeup of V2:
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=j97p1ePJyh8
The idea is to shoot all invaders in as short time as possible.
Shooting special invaders will win you time bonuses which are
deducted from the time before the skill level report is calculated.
The time is displayed at the end of the game, and then any earned
time bonus is subtracted before determining the player skill level.
Quote:
PITIFUL
DISGRACEFUL
PATHETIC!
HOPELESS!
NOT BAD
EXCELLENT
LEGENDARY
TOP GUN
Quote:
Update for V4:
Added the last type of invader.
Laser Invaders requires a Go!Cam if that wasn't already obvious.
Cheers, Art.
