Yes! After the long waiting time, it’s finally out. The lesson covers multiple BGs and scrolling.
Lately I got more time to myself, so I’m able to continue on the lesson series.

I hope lesson 4 would help people to see the hardware is not as frightening as they might think it is.

Lesson 4 is located HERE.

Lessons 2 and 3 had been fixed to be compatible with latest devkitARM/libnds release.
Lesson 4 should come some time this week. I am sorry it didn’t released earlier, I had a major of RealLife problems, including work and army.

Tileoptimize is a tool that is aimed to size-optimize tiled images for machines with multiple palettes.
Although the output is primarily made for GBA and NDS, it could be easily adjusted to output for other machines aswell.
The application will quantisize the colors of the image to NxM sized palette of M colors spreaded over N palettes,
resulting a more colorful image in smaller tile size with repeating tile and palette combinations to save size.

Due to some request made, I have decided to throw a quick DLDI support to Tales of Dagur.
There’s a known bug that prevents game reset after the "Game over" screen. If anyone finds a fix for that, Please do not hesitate to notify me.
Thanks goes to DragonMinded for libfatdragon.

Note about ToD II: ToD II is currently in zombie state because we are missing story. We got one - yes - ONE writer and he’s doing his best. If you want to help and be a part of the ToD II development team, Please contact me or join #ToD2 in EFnet.

First of all I would like to send a (belated…) thanks to Headkaze for donating me a Black SwanCrystal and games! I promised him to continue the work on dualSwan to show my appreciation.
Some pictures:

Donated handheld and games

As I promised, and thanks to my friend strager we increased dualSwan’s speed by more then triple the original speed presented in dualSwan 1.2.1!

dualSwan 1.3 will be released as soon as we will finish adjusting emulation and fixing I/O bugs. The release will include a DSOrganize plugin corresponding to the release version and changes.

Another thing I’m working on is an isometric height map engine which will soon become a game that will use the DSerial’s accelerometer. I will not reveal any details regarding the game except for a screenshot, and you can try and guess what it will be.

Note: No support for the DSmotion card will be included as I don’t have one to test.

After the release of Dark_Alex’s custom firmware, only wnidows GUIs were created to the popstation converter, so I decided to code my own GUI version.

Bare in mind that this is my very first GUI application. Feel free to suggest better ways to use the API.

A little tool I wrote to aid me in the future of WonderSwan/Color development.
gba2wsc converts the output of gfx2gba to a WonderSwan Color compatible graphics.

Source included.

So some coder made a BlueTooth ‘driver’ and a scripting language to work with the Wii-Remote.
On his application’s site he says:

NOTE! You may not use this software on military bases, or for military purposes, or in Israel (which amounts to the same thing). Violation of the license agreement will be prosecuted. See the readme for the license agreement.

In addition to this, he also adds in the program’s ReadMe:

* You may not export this software to Israel, or use it in Israel (including the occupied territories), until Israel has ended its occupation of the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Lebanon, Syria, and anywhere else it may occupy. If you try to run it in Israel it will give you an error.

Well guess what I did? That’s right. I (being from Israel) used this little application.
Don’t believe me?

That’s what I call, PWND.

 

Now I didn’t see any kind of this "Error" while this program is running in Israel. But if the author wants, he can sue me.

I’m waiting.

Thanks to AlexFili for letting me know the sources for Tales of Dagur did not work with the latest devkitPro.
Therefor I have released a fixed version of the source.

For the interested ones, here is a list of what is fixed:

• ARM7’s makefile is changed to produce binaries in Thumb mode to reduce the code size to fit the 64k limit.
• The ToD engine had a bug enabling effects before switching to a level. This caused the level handler to crash when loading the first map.
• Fixed a typo on the function itoa()
