Lino has released a new version of his popular DS emulator, iDeaS. Support for the Guitar Hero Grip was added.

rck has put out a poly demo, or as he calls it a polygon manipulation gui. This is another one that works with the Taito Paddle. He explains it in detail better than i can so read the quote below for more info.

Essentially, PolyTouch is a very simple polygon manipulation gui. You get a polygon with up to 25 nodes and can drag the nodes with the stylus. You can also modify nodes with the d-pad, reduce the number of nodes down to 3 as well as scroll between the nodes with shoulder buttons and the Taito Paddle.
The idea of PolyTouch was to create a simple vector sprite editor for retro stuff like Tempest, Asteroids, BattleZone, and maybe some new ideas in that direction. Of course, the current version still needs the basics done, like saving and loading, and maybe frame-by-frame animation capabilities. But it's a start.
There are known bugs in this release, like for example some weird graphics-memory overwrites, when you reach certain borders of the touchpad by dragging. Not sure why, but will try to narrow them down eventually.
rrc2soft contacted me today to show off a work in progress build of a game hes been working on. A port of the freeware PC game Knytt Stories. It looks really nice, my initial reaction was that it has the same kind of 2d charm that Cave Story has. The music in the video is really creepy as well, love it. I wish rrc2soft the best of luck with this one, cant wait to try it out in the future.

Hi, Triforce
During this past months, I have been working on a DS version of the freeware platform game Knytt Stories. And since today is the first anniversary of the release of the game for PC, I have posted a video of my latest WIP version for DS in youtube.
