The Exit Games Photon development framework provides a fast and high-performance socket server to build your own real-time multiplayer games and applications for various platforms.
While the server is C/C++ based to get maximum speed and performance, developers can create their own server logic in comfortable C#.
Photon can be easily combined with Exit Games Neutron to make use of Neutron’s wide set of turn-key features.

The Photon “Free License” includes 50 concurrent users (CCUs). Any license can be easily upgraded at the cost of the difference. No reinstall of the server needed.

JDownloader is open source, platform independent and written completely in Java. It simplifies downloading files from One-Click-Hosters like Rapidshare.com or Megaupload.com – not only for users with a premium account but also for users who don’t pay. It offers downloading in multiple paralell streams, captcha recognition, automatical file extraction and much more. Of course, JDownloader is absolutely free of charge. Additionally, many “link encryption” sites are supported – so you just paste the “encrypted” links and JD does the rest. JDownloader can import CCF, RSDF and the new DLC files. Available for Windows Linux and Mac Os X.

-What’s a MTmini?-
————————————-
Don’t have a Multitouch Table yet? Have one, but need something smaller for testing? Building a small portable multitouch pad will allow you to test software and experiment on a smaller scale while building your full table or when away from your multitouch screen. Have fun and make a MTmini! This uses Front Diffused Illumination, with normal ambient light (infrared not required or needed) and a normal off-the-shelf webcam (IR filter can still be in place).

-How’s it Work?-
————————————-
For this to work, all you need is a room with (at least) some light. The results will be best when the room lighting is even (no bright lights shinning from one direction onto the multitouch pad).

When you place you fingers on the surface, shadows are created where your fingers are. The webcam sees these shadows and sends the image to the tracking software which tracks the shadows as they move on the surface.

It’s important to try different lighting setups and to configure the software in order to get the best results.

Dolphin is a Gamecube, Wii and Triforce (the arcade machine based on the Gamecube) emulator.

Gamecube compatibility is okay-ish – lots of games work, many games don’t work.
Wii compatibility is not quite as good as the Gamecube compatibility, but many games are playable, and lots of games are showing intros and more.
Triforce compatibility is not really known yet, but at least one game runs, with minor glitches.

This is a working Wii Emulator with a lot of people involved in the project!
