What better way to celebrate a great actor like Jack Nicholson’s career than to make some of his early movies available for watching on the Nintendo DS!
Digging into our archives of public domain content, we have pulled out three Jack Nicholson films for your viewing enjoyment.
The Little Shop of Horrors – Albeit a small part as a masochistic dentist patient, the film itself is a classic.
The Terror – With such minds as Roger Corman and Francis Ford Coppola on this one it has to be good, right?
and
The Wild Ride – This one has the most Jack in it, as he has the main role, as a rebellious beatnik ne’er-do-well.
I have been hard at work on the latest and greatest version of Moon Books. For those not familiar with The Moon Books Project it is a website dedicated to bringing classic literature, films and other cool stuff freely to the Nintendo DS community, for use on the Nintendo DS.
We currently have a growing collection of homebrew, books, movies and even audio books and audio drama for download and use on the Nintendo DS via the Moon Shell homebrew application.
Head on over to Moon Books and enjoy some books by Mark Twain, Edgar Rice Burroughs or listen to the audio book of Lewis Carrol’s Alice in Wonderland. Maybe you would prefer to watch Night of the Living Dead or play Jeff Lait’s latest version of his roguelike Powder.
Oh, and our science fiction audio drama section is now in podcast format, for all of your podcatching fun!

Syobon action (original title しょぼんのアクション) is a 2D Japanese freeware video game notoriously known as a parody of the Nintendo classic game Super Mario Bros. but with extremely difficult levels (Wikipedia).
Scognito decided to port the game on the Wii console…
Recently Nintendo have been mounting a more aggressive stance against the manufacturers and distributors of the cards we use to boot homebrew on the DS due to increasing piracy. The cases against Divineo in France and Grupo Movilquick in Spain have been resolved in favour of the defendants with the ability to “extend the utility of the devices for perfectly legal purposes” cited as the reason for dismissal of the lawsuits.
Movilquick ruling (translated), original.
Assenntek press release (translated), original.
These decisions appear to be in keeping with the most recent amendment to the ECD which protects reverse engineering rights for purposes of interoperability – DIRECTIVE 2009/24/EC
The current DSi “compatible” cards used to boot homebrew in DS mode on the new console are not affected by these rulings given that they all use modified commercial games to provide this functionality.
The Moon Books Project has relaunched with Moon Shell 2 compatibility for all film and book content. All books available are readable on Moon Shell 2, as well as all films.
Also, both audio and video quality of films have been upgraded for your viewing pleasure.

The Moon Books Project 2.0
Recently we had the opportunity to interview Frédéric Calendini who is man behind one of the most professional Nintendo DS homebrew game series out there: Lone Wolf DS.
Hey everyone!
To celebrate my upcoming birthday (08/31/72) I will be giving away an Acekard2. Everyone who has earned over 100 contribution points at The Moon Books Project (by taking place in forum discussions, blogging, etc) will be entered in a random drawing on August 31st.
From devkitPro
One of the things we love to see is homebrewers using the skills they’ve honed with devkitPro toolchains to enter the commercial market. The most recent programmer to take the next step is Lacey who you might know if you visit the Blitzed dev channels on a regular basis.
His company, Tin Man Games, has just released their first iPhone/iPod Touch title so why not help him make his mark in the industry by grabbing Frootrees from the iTunes store now? It looks like a great little game and the £0.59/$0.99 price point is an absolute steal.
We hope to see many more homebrewers follow in Lacey’s footsteps and wish him good luck.
