Heres what he posted:
Should fix some bugs (and maybe introduce some new ones?)
Due to other responsabilities that can't be ignored any longer, I won't be working on gpSP for a few weeks at least. When I get back to it it'll be more optimizing and fixing :B Hope this release holds you off until then. I'll still be around here regularly.

Heres the release notes:
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Copy the files in the archive to a folder named scummvm within your SD Card.
2. Copy any games supported by ScummVM to your SD Card.
3. Insert your SD Card adapter with the prepared SD Card into Slot A of the GameCube.

For those of you who dont know heres what scummvm is:
ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the game, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!
Some of the adventures ScummVM supports include Adventure Soft's Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2; Revolution's Beneath A Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1 and Broken Sword 2; Flight of the Amazon Queen; Wyrmkeep's Inherit the Earth; Coktel Vision's Gobliiins; Westwood Studios' The Legend of Kyrandia and games based on LucasArts' SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) system such as Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max and more.

It's a game we've all been dying to get our hands on. For months we sat and waited, tears effortlessly streaming from our eyes, on down our cheek and finally making their way to the moist rug below. Finally, though, we are given respite as today we see Super Paper Mario ship off to retail.
We already know we're picking it up and we're fairly certain you will be picking it up, so what else is there left to say?
Well, apparently the critics have something to say. Let's see what that is:
IGN (89/100) has some good things to say about the control: "It controls tightly and uses the Wii remote in a smart manner without stepping into forced territory. The new 2D-to-3D dynamic is built around clever and surprisingly complex puzzles that will challenge and impress you. And it all comes together to make Super Paper Mario a highly enjoyable title, whether you want to call it a platformer, an RPG, or something in-between."
AMN (88/100) says the game is a bit easy, but still good "While the game is overly easy at times and some of the level design isn't as likable or memorable as past Paper Marios, we absolutely recommend Super Paper Mario. It's a great Wii game that just about anybody can enjoy."
1UP (80/100) thinks it's not all that we were expecting: "While it's far from the platforming/role-playing godsend that some Nintendo fans expected, Super Paper Mario still qualifies as a must-play for any Wii owner. It's creative, fun, and perhaps most importantly, funny." ...by Published on April 9th, 2007 22:21

I have a love-hate relationship with Wii’s Virtual Console. First, the love: classic gaming goodness on my Wii, the Wiimote is awesome for NES games, the way each game has its own channel is cool, and the games (especially NES) look fantastic. There, that does it for the love. Now on to the hate…...
You may have thought I’d immediately start whining over the service’s pricing, but I’m actually in the minority that doesn’t find the prices all that outrageous. Sure, the games are, in reality, far too expensive, but I don’t mind paying a few extra bucks for what I believe to be priceless classics from the past.
My main VC issue is this: If Nintendo’s big wigs are intent on selling VC games for mad profit, which they obviously are, they should make sure that customers get their money’s worth by ensuring titles are optimized on Wii, or, at the very least, live up to the standard set by the originals. The problem is that in the case of the most expensive downloads, N64 games, these things aren’t happening, and as far as I’m concerned, customers are basically getting the shaft. There are two major oversights responsible for this — omission of rumble and lack of Controller Pack support.
First up, rumble. I know, I know — I’m a self-proclaimed rumble freak who’s ranted on the topic around here before. Still, I simply have to go at it again. A whole slew of awesome Nintendo 64 games were enhanced via the Rumble Pack — already-released VC titles Zelda: OOT and StarFox 64 among them — and it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that Nintendo could easily allow support for this feature through the Gamecube controller. Why not?
Second, and perhaps more importantly, the company ridiculously claims that it’s not possible to include VC support for save data handled by N64’s Controller Pack. Heads up, Nintendo: Emulators created by fans have supported this feature for years. Thus far, Ghost Mode’s complete absence from Mario Kart 64 has been the worst casualty of this oversight, but if Nintendo fails to address the problem in the future, other classics could likewise take a serious hit.
While these two oversights are a bummer in and of themselves, what irks me even more, and what should really bother you, is the attitude Nintendo is showing here. The firm is basically saying, ‘Despite the fact that we’re charging premium prices and making nothing but mad profit from VC releases, we’re not going to spend an extra day or two programming in a couple features that would make the titles true to their original compositions. The fans will buy them anyway.’ Total bull, as far as I’m concerned, and such an attitude also shows a striking lack of esteem for the games themselves.
It’s not too late for Nintendo to do something about these issues, though. If enough fans make noise, Rumble/Controller Pack support could be enabled in future releases, and already-released titles could easily be patched. So if you feel like you’re getting the shaft, let Nintendo know how you feel. Tell them you want to be able to experience your favorite N64 classics in their complete, original forms, not downgraded by blatant corporate laziness. At ten bucks a pop, that certainly isn’t too much to ask.by Published on April 9th, 2007 22:18

The Nintendo DS has the potential to provide a great multiplayer experience and many developers have made good use of the device’s Internet connectivity. Fortunately, you don’t always need to have your buddies over to play; you can wirelessly battle players around the world using an internet connection via Nintendo’s Wi-Fi gaming service. We decided to run down the five best online-enabled DS games out there to help point you in the right direction when you feel like some multiplayer action. If you need assistance getting your DS online, Nintendo has you covered; this site will help you get started. Continue reading to find out which games we think offer the very best Internet multiplayer experience on the DS.
Mario Kart DS – Nintendo’s first take on online multiplayer gaming was a great success. Hop online and race up to three opponents on over a dozen tracks. You can Race against people from your friends list, worldwide opponents, or rivals of your own skill level. It takes just about two or three minutes to get a race started, with no lag or other problems the majority of the time. Wi-Fi Mario Kart is great fun and very addictive, even just racing against random players worldwide. Certainly one of the best Wi-Fi games out to date.
Clubhouse Games – It’s a shame this game is so overlooked, seeing all the online multiplayer features it provides. You can play against worldwide opponents in well over 30 different board or card games, including Darts, Bowling, Billiards, Blackjack, Chess, Hearts, a Battleship-like game, and many, many more. Up to seven players can join you on certain games, and you can send previously-set messages such as ‘Good Luck!’, ‘Nice!’, and ‘That was close!’, to give you a limited sense of long-distance communication. However, if you play against people from your friends list, you can send Pictochat-like messages with the stylus, with different colors to choose from. Clubhouse Games features the best variety available for Wi-Fi multiplayer gaming with lots of replay value.
Custom Robo Arena – Build your robot with a huge variety of weapons and artifacts and take it online to battle other players. Search for worldwide rivals of any skill or those close to your level. You play best-of-three matches of three minutes against a single opponent. If you play against people from your friends list you can voice chat with your opponent before and after a battle. Custom Robo Arena’s online features provide an exciting challenge that the game’s AI cannot match.
Metroid Prime Hunters – Multiplayer First-Person shooting action for your Nintendo DS. Play Deathmatch with up to three worldwide opponents in a variety of levels. If you have people on your friends list, you can play many different game modes and even voice-chat with them before and after matches. Metroid Prime Hunters is a very fun online game, offering a challenge to those looking for it.
Animal Crossing: Wild World – Build your own little town and invite your friends over. You can invite up to three friends at a time, and they can hang around on your town, buy items, bring you presents, or leave you messages. You too can visit a friend’s town and chat with them with an on-screen keyboard.
So far we have only scratched the surface of what online DS games can offer. Here are some tidbits on other online-enabled games:
Tetris DS – Online puzzle action. Play against worldwide rivals (up to three) in Standard Mode and Push Mode.
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin – Open an online shop to sell your items, or fight alongside a random player on a co-op mode. (Read our review here).
Mario VS Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis – Build your own game levels and trade them with your friends, or download levels for you to play on.
Star Fox Command – Online dogfights against worldwide opponents and friends.
Diddy Kong Racing – More online racing for your Nintendo DS, for up to six players at once.
Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo Tales – Engage on card battles against opponents or friends.
Many games soon to be released will also utilize online features, including the famous Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl for online Pokémon trades and battles, Planet Puzzle League for more online puzzle action, and The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass which features online multiplayer, as well as many other games for different genres. It seems as if almost every highly-anticipated upcoming DS game will offer some form of internet connectivity, making the multiplayer future of the console look bright. ...by Published on April 9th, 2007 22:18
