Bronto has again updated his Mail app for the Nintendo DS:

Heres whats new:

- correctly converts some tags like line breaks, so mail/feed display is a lot nicer.
- file writing probably did not work at all in 0.40
- better error handling / access point reconnect
- default settings in nds file, so users without filesystem support can hex-edit their settings

For those who are waiting for SSL, it will not happen before the release of a new version of dswifi.

As always, I'm working on cool new features, stay tuned

If you find any feeds that do not work with NDSMail or just feeds you would like to share, please post them in comments.

The Reaper2k Has ported Duke Nukem 3D to the Gizmondo, heres the info:

Was looking for next project, when i stumbled across Duke Nukem 3D for smartphone, after looking and searching around no source code , so i download the bin files, put my gx.dll with it, hack it about a bit, set up the config file, download shareware version, put it all together on sd card, run up the giz,
and this happened.


It worked

One problem, Duke Nukem 3D uses lots of keys , quick think and redo config file and i think i've got the basics covered

Keys:

D-Pad = Move Around.
Play = Shoot Your Gun/Enter key on menus, and "y" key on quit and stuff.
Forwand = Open/Use.
Rewind = Run, Use Inventory Item.
Stop = Jump.
Left Trigger = Crouch.
Right Trigger = Return To Menu.
Home = Move Inventory Item (Next), Map Follow Mode.
Volume = Next Weapon.
Brightness = Map.

Unzip and copy the Duke3d folder to sd card, use fireflys launcher, then you need the pc version's file "DUKE3D.GRP" shareware or full (full version not tested) and it has to be version 1.3d and maybe higher
Copy DUKE3D.GRP into Duke3d Folder then play.

Link to shareware version http://www.3drealms.com/downloads.html

Download Duke Nukem 3D "3dduke13.zip - v1.3d Shareware Episode (5785k) "
It dos and has to be installed to get the DUKE3D.GRP file, once you have it, you can delete duke3d dos.

Tech Info:

Sound is a bit choppy, Might be too fast for some, sometimes quits out (happen once so far).
To slow the game down, edit the "Duke3D.cfg" file and change "Platform_Timer_HZ = 210" to a lower number, E.G. "Platform_Timer_HZ = 180".

Allmost forgot, added 3 save game files, so you can overwright them with your progress, as you cannot save on a blank save spot cos you cannot type a name for it.

One of the first titles to fully demonstrate the functionality of Nintendo DS was the unlikely hit Nintendogs, a game that let players care for and train their very own virutal puppy. The title used the stylus with great results and so many felt that the franchise would also perfectly suit the Wii's console, whose innovative remote is in many ways similar to the stylus.


We chatted with Nintendo EAD's general manager, Takahashi Tezuka, about a possible Wii sequel to Nintendogs and although he was careful with his words, he suggested that the Big N has already thought of the idea. Here's an excerpt from our interview:
IGN Wii: Will you bring Nintendogs to Wii?

Tezuka: It's definitely a property that we're looking at because it was so well received and it did so well for us. There are definitely conversations about where we can take it next. Nothing specific yet, but it's definitely something that's in our minds.

More as it develops. ...

Encouraging gamers to slice people open with a scalpel and prod at their various internal organs, Trauma Center: Second Opinion (cool title!) clearly fits in well with Nintendo's all-inclusive family strategy for the Wii. Okay, so it's a sequel to last year's DS doctor sim, Trauma Center: Under the Knife, meaning that you're generally gutting people for their own good. I managed to track down Tomm Hulett of Atlus USA and, after threatening him sufficiently, managed to extract the following information:

The game should be released within the Wii's "launch window" (i.e. before the end of the year).
Two playable characters will be available, each one following a different path in the story.
Unlike Derek (the original game's main character), the new doctor will not possess the "Healing Touch", instead boasting some other, sure to be wacky power.
The game was almost called Trauma Center: Relapse.
Thanks to the wiimote, Second Opinion will be much more intricate than the DS version and allow you to use more surgical tools.

The nunchuck analog stick is used for selecting tools.

The game will not be fully voice-acted. Only a couple of voice samples will be matched to on-screen text, much like the Legend of Zelda titles.
Tomm hinted that you'd be able to use the wiimote and nunchuck as a defibrilator.

Speaking of which, the Atlus meeting rooms just happened to be situated right next to the wall mounted defibrilator pictured to the right. Must be one for the fanboys. ...

Having spent two days now with Nintendo's Wii controller, here's what we think up to this point. We'll have to see a little more (sorry Reggie, I mean play) before fully believing, but we're glad you'll keep using a traditional control scheme through the GameCube's controller on new games.

Pros:

Solid hardware design. The controller(s) have added weight and feel very good in your hands. Nice plastic, yo!
Built-in speaker value add. While Zelda fishing, the reel audio sample was a nice touch.
Works well with certain games, i.e. tennis, baseball, Zelda (spin attack) where stroke motions are, would be similar to real life ones.

Cons:

Doesn't work well with certain games, i.e. Madden where stroke motions differ than real life ones (you don't pass a football by flicking your wrist).
Rumble feature feels weak. Nuff said.

If no real-life motions are associated with a game, does motion control add value to the gaming experience? (undetermined) ...

Hudson has announced that, barring unforeseen nuclear disasters or time-travel mishaps, they'll be releasing 100 different titles on Nintendo's virtual console service. The only name we have for now is Bonk's Adventure which, given the absence of the other 99 titles, doesn't leave us feeling particularly informed. Games like Lode Runner are most certainly destined for Wii emulation, but which other, more obscure Hudson games should we be getting excited about experiencing again? ...

Looks like Sony are standardising thier Menu Systems for their Consoles, the PS3 will use a similiar layout to the PSP,

Check out the news and screenshot at PS3 Evolution ...

PlayStation 3 borrows PSP's menu interface, but offers a few intriguing additions Power-up your PlayStation 3 and you’ll be greeted by a PSP-style start-up screen. All the icons are identical to those of its handheld counterpart, with movies (Hi-Def ones, of course), music and web options all available. But the PS3’s interface packs a couple of new additions.

First, is the ‘Users’ button which enables you to flick between profiles, suggesting that Sony is expecting each machine to be fought over by more than one member of the family. The other intriguing icon is a ‘Friends’ button. However, Sony wasn’t willing to give us any more info on how these systems will actually function at this early stage.

Another interesting snippet was confirmation that you’ll be able to use a keyboard and mouse with PS3, enabling you to easily browse the web on your telly.
