It appears a stable version of MoonShell 2.10 has been released, link to main site is below with a translated version of the ReadMe after the jump... MoonShell version 2.10 stable .

Someone in IRC was asking about something that, "lets you select a whole load of installers (like iTunes and Firefox) and then launches a program that automatically downloads and installs them" and I couldn't help but think that sounds like a bloody good idea, so I checked out the site called Ninite . These are my recommendations of programs worth installing, click here to go to the Ninite page and download them. There are also a bunch of messenger type programs which I didn't include, but would recommend Digsby as a good all-round messenger.

I like free games. I like driving/racing games. Put them together and you have TrackMania Nations Forever which is available for free from Steam. This post is the first in a series of TrackMania Nations Forever videos and since each section (White, Green, Blue etc races) contains 15 tracks, the posts will be broken up into 5 videos each. I probably could have just put them all together in one continuous video, but kept them separate mainly for reference of each track.

After literally 2 years, I've made 2 more themes for the R4DS. A comment mentioned a hentai sakura model, well after a quick Google search, I found an image that is usable. I don't do porn, nude or anything considered 18+ (R for US people) rated, so if you're looking for something more adult, you won't find it here, all live models are wearing something, even if it is just a bikini. You can find this Hentai Haruno Sakura theme on the Manga/Anime page. A theme featuring Sakura Shiratori can be found on the Babe Skins page. And there you go, I'll try not to leave it another 2 years to make some more, just need to think of a subject to base them on.

If you've had either a laptop with Windows 7 installed, an Xbox 360 or even both as Xmas presents, here is a picture guide to connecting the Xbox 360 to the laptop to connect wirelessly to Xbox Live without the need for the X360 wireless connector. What you will need: A laptop with Windows 7 installed An Xbox 360 An ethernet crossover cable A wireless router About 5 minutes to set all this up

As posted a while ago on my Mental Gamers site... If it's free, I'll post news about it and the latest discovery I made was when looking for free stuff online last night. I figured that since the laptop I'm using has a rating of 4.1, it would be good for a little gaming and so downloaded the Games for Windows client when I saw that you get a free game for doing so. That's a video of me playing an early level and despite what the specs say the game needs to run, I play it with a Dual-Core AMD Athlon II X2 M300 (2 GHz), Radeon HD 4200 (256 MB I think), 4GB RAM on Windows 7. It's easy enough to get the hang of once you've worked out the controls and the good thing is, you can use an Xbox 360 pad or should I say, 'Xbox 360 Controller for Windows' which is the correct term for it apparently. Anyway, if you haven't delved into the world of 'Games for Windows', then take a look on the Games for Windows site or if you just want more info ...

After only 5 weeks of v1.15 being released, v1.16 has been released. Update R4 v1.16 kernel 2008-2-19 1）Solved the 1958 problem It's apparently to do with Miami Nights - Singles in the City (US) not working. To download the update, click here .

It's been out for a little while now, but not many appeared to have announced it. Update R4 v1.15 kernel 2008-1-8 1）Solved the 1905 problem The problem is to do with Luxor - Pharaohs Challenge, but as said by Pilot_51 in the DCemu forums : Why are they only fixing problems with licensed games? They're promoting piracy that way which in turn harms the homebrew community. I mean the last 4 releases only fixed one licensed game per release and did nothing else. If they would at least do something else with the patches like add the SDHC compatibility they promised something like 3 months ago, I wouldn't have such a problem with it. As much as I like my R4, this is making me want to stop promoting R4 and find something else that puts the focus on homebrew. Which is true, instead of just fixing problems with 'backups', lets try and focus on what the R4 is supposed to be about, homebrew. Anyway, to download the latest update, click here .

These are all the extensions I use with Firefox and it provides me with everything I need to browse and 'use' the internet. What's in your Firefox?

It seems my box.net account has ran out of bandwidth, that's 10GB of bandwidth used in 3 weeks, so I've registered at DivShare which apparently gives me unlimited space and bandwidth... DivShare members get an amazing deal — unlimited storage and data transfer for free. All your files stay online forever, and you'll never have to pay to access them. Sounds great to me and just what I need for all you hungry downloaders of my R4DS stuff. ;) I'm guessing that the M3 1.08 update is the same as the R4DS one, a fix for the 1368 save. You can download it from my even newer MediaFire account , which I created in the event that DivShare closes down or whatever.

Ah well, might as well forget about the 'post-per-day' thing, I'll just blog whenever I need to. Not a major update... Update R4 v1.12 kernel 2007-11-21 1）Solved the 1368 save problem. Since the official site is quite slow for downloading, you can get it here which should be quicker.

I was going to post about this last night, but it would have spoilt my 'post-per-day' thing that I've accidentally stumbled upon here. I didn't realise until around the 5th or 6th that I'd made one post per day so far this month, so to keep up that momentum, here is today's post. DSOrganize 3.1 has been released. Fixes found in 3.1 Added support for attachment style downloads (usually download.php style). Added deflate and gzip encoding support to web browser. Added letter view mode to the picture viewer. Added optional click noise to keyboards. Added many more special character tags like è etc to web browser. Changed large font to Arial 13 from Century 16 to be more consistent. Fixed download filenames being badly named when longer filenames were downloaded beforehand. Fixed "Removing invalid lfn entry" error in FAT after deleting a file. Fixed "Invalid file size on entry" error in FAT after creating a new empty file. Fixed "...

Since I still get an average of 1082 views per day (based on September viewing figures) here (on my WordPress blog) due to people in search of stuff to do with the R4DS, this latest post will benefit those people that are struggling to use BatchDPG. By clicking on the image, you will see a bigger version showing the settings needed to have a good quality .dpg file. Just three things are needed: AviSynth is still required in the event you want to encode avi files (it can be downloaded from here , but it also has BatchDPG, sorry I don't have a separate download) The K-Lite Codec Pack FULL version for all the codecs you need, be sure to install encoding codecs, they're the ones needed to convert into. Finally, you will need SUPER© . That's it. Once everything is installed, open SUPER©, change the settings to like in the image (it's really just a case of selecting 'Nintendo DS' in the 1st dropdown menu and raising the bitrate slightly) drag and drop a media file ...

Well, a day after 3.0 is released, a new version with a minor bugfix is released to make it 3.01. Not a major update, but the main differences are: Fixed error messages not being readable on startup. Fixed wifi to be slightly faster again. Fixed seeking broken on some file formats. Fixed SSID not centered properly. Fixed 256x192 images not showing the bottom line. To download the new version, just click here . The 3.0 download in the previous post has been removed.

Added wifi config (including saving back to firmware) with three extra DSOrganize profiles. Added ability to bookmark on the web browser by pressing ctrl + b. Miscellaneous fixes to the HTML renderer. Fixed error in file wrapper causing bad file copies. Fixed a weird lingering cursor bug in text editor. Fixed startup screen error. Fixed an error where images that redirect would change the url of the main page loading. Fixed a bug with sites that use 1x1 tracking images. Fixed error where confirm delete screen on browser allowed you to select ".." or "." Fixed some weird bugs with m3u files. Fixed select few files not showing their long file names. Fixed everything being underlined on sites with bad tags (ds-x.com, etc) Day planner now supports weekly, monthly, and annual e...

For those of you that have been keeping up to date with Dicewars, the latest beta version has been released. Version 0.3.8 is now up with further fixes, mostly the local hotseat multiplayer mode works now much better. Meanwhile I've also tested the network game and it looks like we're finally ready to continue multiplayer testing! The fourth test round is scheduled for Thursday 20.9.07, starting at 18:00 GMT. Detailed instructions on how to participate in testing the network game: #1 Join #dicewars on blitzed irc server. All announcements and communications are done through this channel. #2 Download always the latest version below. #3 Test round 4 is going to start on Thursday 20th of September between 18-22 GMT with v0.3.8. The game server is now up also at other times, but I'd rather receive bug reports only from the games played during this time. You can get the 0.3.8 beta by clicking here , unzipping onto your computer and just transfer it onto your flash cart to w...

While I'm waiting for a trailer to upload to YouTube, I'm just testing this Flock browser which seems pretty good, but also seems to use a lot more resources than Firefox and to be honest, you could probably find an extension for Firefox that does the same thing as Flock. I'll take a look in a mo to see if I can find extensions to give the same functionality, if so, it kinda makes Flock = Firefox + bloatware. Well, it seems I've found the extensions needed to give me the 'social' functions that Flock has included, but where Flock is around 10MB, Firefox and the extensions probably add up to around 6.5MB (all before installation). So which extensions give the same functionality? del.icio.us buttons - Add a couple of buttons to the toolbar which allow you to tag sites and add them to your de.icio.us bookmarks. It's an official del.icio.us extension too. Scribefire - Since Flock is a 'social browser', blogging to different services like WordPress an...
