The ACTA is an international trade agreement currently negociated by the European Union, the United States, Japan, Canada, South Korea, Australia as well as a few other countries, whose aim is to enforce copyright and tackle counterfeited goods (hence its acronym: Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement). The main problem with this treaty is that all the negociations [...]

More Good News
Posted By Max on June 13th, 2009
Everyone, I have some more good news. Good new for you developers anyway. I have decided that because of the huge changes with libnds and devkitARM, I really do need to update bootlib. It doesn’t really work with the new stuff, so might have to rewrite it. I am going to mmostly make the next release a maintenance release by fixing it for the new DKA and libnds. I am also porting (for lack of a better term) to C++ for all you OOP freaks. Hopefully it will be a little more stable and easier to use.

Changing Dem Up
Posted By Max on October 17th, 2008
Work on FeeDS is going quite well, however, there have been a few changes. First off, I am no longer using the latest SVN release of libnds. I am now using a customized version of the latest official release. I have also changed up the libraries as well. Here’s what I am now using:
- ezxml 0.8.6 – To parse the feeds.
- libhttp 0.2 – To retrieve the feeds and data through wifi.
- parse_urls 0.2 – To make sure all URLs are valid before trying them to prevent crashes.
- libjpg – To show the feed’s icon, if any, and if it is in JPG format
- libpng - To show the feed’s icon, if any, and if it is in PNG format
- libgif – To show the feed’s icon, if any, and if it is in GIF format
Also, for the first release it will show debug information during boot and when connecting to an AP or whilst doing other tasks, so that people can report any problems and tell me where it failed.

My Newest Project: FeeDS
Posted By Max on September 19th, 2008
My latest DS Development project is an RSS/XML feed reader for the DS. I am developing this with devkitARM r23, the latest libnds svn, zlib, libpng, libfat 2007-something, dswifilib 0.34, and libxml2. I am doing this project because I believe it is something the DS needs and becaus eI wanted to test out and help the devkitPro team with the new Abstraction layer in the graphics system. So far, so good. You can probably expect a release in November or so, maybe earlier or maybe later. Here’s what you can expect in the first release:
* Full Standard RSS 2.0/XML 1.0 parsing support for most sites (Such as OSDSN, GBAtemp, IGN, WordPress, etc.)
* Listing of the topics in selected feed. By clicking on one it will bring up a new screen with the contents of the post/article.
* Favicons in the listing of the feeds.
* Media downloading (Such as downloading mp3s from podcast URLs, or movie files).
What it will NOT support:
* Inline images (Maybe sometime later).
* MP3 Streaming (Very unlikely, but borderline possible).
* Video Streaming (Yea…NO!)
I’ll post some screenies later on. I have only been working on it for about a week, but so far, no problems.
