iPhone 3GS to get Nintendo N64 emulator

post from Ubergizmo on 03 November 2009 12:49:18 PM. © Ubergizmo

Zodttd is a developer familiar to those who enjoyed GBA4iPhone, and the same developer is now currently working on a N64 emulator for the iPhone 3GS, thanks to CPU, GPU and OpenGL ES 2.0 support that is good enough to churn out smooth N64 emulation. A word of caution before you get too excited though - high end N64 titles might not be available "just yet" due to the lack of power, while another issue for most folks to grapple with would be the upcoming control scheme.

Toyota Tacoma All-Terrain Gamer concept

Toyota is clearly in tune with the next generation of gamers by unveiling the Tacoma All-Terrain Gamer (ATG) concept that comprises of a Toyota pickup with a quartet of Xbox consoles within, a Warthog from Halo and a Monster energy drink dispenser to keep you going through those marathon gaming sessions. You will find four 24" LCD monitors from Samsung adorning the cabin center, swinging out to provide individual gamers with their own display. As for spectators, they can sit outside and view all the thrills and spills via a 60" Sharp LCD TV that is mounted in the Tacoma's trailer receiver hitch.

Secret Knock Detecting door lock

Secret Knock Detecting door lock

Have some spare time on your hands for a DIY project? The Secret Knock Detecting door lock might be your cup of tea, where it relies on an Arduino alongside a ragtag collection of parts from a lab. The end result is a device that unlocks your door whenever it "hears" the right knock pattern which only you are privy to (alongside other people who you've shared to answer with). Sorta like a big boys' secret handshake, albeit much cooler. Of course, this doesn’t counter who ever is eavesdropping on the pattern of your knock in order to gain access later on though. Any workarounds you can think of?

PSPgo moves 28k units in Japan

Sony's PSPgo has moved more than 28,000 units on its first day on sale in the Land of the Rising Sun, with brisk movement of retail and download titles Persona 3 Portable and Dissidia Final Fantasy Universal Tuning, coupled with download-only games Disgaea Infinite and LocoRoco Midnight Carnival. Is this a success? We'll let you judge for yourself - the PSP-3000 moved more than 140,000 units in October within a 4-day window, while the Nintendo DSi sold 170,000 in half that amount of time. Guess there is still love for UMD after all, eh?

Windows 7 pushes PC sales up

post from Ubergizmo on 03 November 2009 12:28:57 PM. © Ubergizmo

Windows 7 pushes PC sales up

The Windows 7 launch did manage to push up sales of PCs by a whopping 40%, although this figure could be partly offset by buyers who were holding out for a purchase during the previous fortnight, seeing sales plummet 29% and 2% compared to 2008. It remains to be seen whether this sales spike is a new trend that Microsoft would welcome, or is it just a temporary anomaly due to folks who were waiting particularly for Windows 7. We'd place our money on the latter, unless Windows 7 proved to be that revolutionary and pushes out huge sales figures just like the Nintendo Wii.
