MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. When used in conjunction with images of the original arcade game's ROM and disk data, MAME attempts to reproduce that game as faithfully as possible on a more modern general-purpose computer. MAME can currently emulate several thousand different classic arcade video games from the late 1970s through the modern era.

Multiplayer for GBA Games is also supported.
It's just a bunch of small details/bugfixes.
The sd/mmc/i2c related ones might be useful for developing & testing new DSi exploits.

Features:
emulation of the GameBoy, GameBoy Color, and Super Gameboy
accurate emulation of the hardware, based on research with lots of test roms, useful for debugging/rom development. some highlights:
clock exact timing of LCD behavior/state changes
realistic initial ram values - random but with specific bit patterns, and simulated values left by bootroms (for example "nibbler (pd)" depends on this)
accurate emulation of LCD register writes during scanline (prehistorik man, demotronic demo)
emulation of inaccessible VRAM and OAM as on real hardware
10 sprites per line limit
clock exact emulation of sprites causing mode 3 to take longer
correct memory access timing (access happening at the last/second to last clock of an opcode)
accurate emulation of the differences between DMG and GBC, including timing differences, differences in hardware behavior, initial state, etc.
can run a GBC rom as on a DMG, and a DMG rom as on a GBC
powerful debugger:
disassembler
assembler (change code and ability to save modified rom)
breakpoints
break on access
conditional breakpoints
singlestepping/tracing/animating/step out/step over
vram viewer: BG map, tiles, OAM, palette.
IO registers viewer
break on exceptions (accessing inaccessible VRAM, read unitialized RAM, echo ram access, access locked external ram, disable lcd outside vblank)
ability to modify all registers and state at any time
joypad window allows simulating button presses at any time while debugging
SGB multiplayer with up to 4 gamepads
graphics output: GDI (DIB), DirectDraw, Direct3D, OpenGL, null output
sound output: waveout, directsound and disk writer supported. support for writing the 4 channels to separate wav files
runs almost all roms perfectly, compatibility comparable with the best GB/C emulators
Accurate/high quality sound emulation, bandlimited rectangular wave synthesis for perfectly smooth sound
accurate video emulation including "high color" graphics, correct sprite/background priorities, 10 sprites/line limit, and mid-scanline register changes.
This emulator is fast.
Joystick/Gamepad support, everything mappable to every button
some user interface keys are configurable and can be mapped to joystick/gamepad buttons
MBC3 Real Time Clock emulation. RTC is saved/loaded in the .sav file, compatible with VBA
Auto delay/frameskip, emulation runs at 100% real speed and full 60 fps
GameGenie and GameShark cheat, load/save cheats (auto and manual), "cheat searcher", easy creation of new cheat codes
save/load state with quick (zsnes style) keys.
Load from ZIP and GZIP files
This program does not require DirectX or runtime libraries.
support for optional border bitmap and pseudo and real fullscreen modes.
limited TCP/IP game link support

- Fixed mapper 19 (Rolling Thunder (J) works).
- Internal cleanups and minor tweaks.
- Documentation updated.
fMSX is a program that emulates MSX, MSX2, and MSX2+ 8bit home computers. It runs MSX/MSX2/MSX2+ software on many different platforms including Windows, Android, Symbian, MacOS, Unix, MSDOS, AmigaOS, etc. I started developing fMSX in 1993 when there were only two other MSX emulators available, both exclusively for MSDOS. From the very beginning, I developed fMSX as a portable program able to run on many different computers. The initial development, for example, was done on DEC Alpha workstations running Unix. Since then, fMSX has seen quite a lot of updates and been ported to many systems. It is still being developed, although not as actively as before because most features are pretty much complete now.
fMSX v5.0 Changelog:
* Switched to microseconds in the AY8910 PSG emulation.
* Now updating, rendering, and playing sound every 8 scanlines.
* The PLAY "S8M90O6G" MML test works now.
* Added support for DirectInput joysticks to fMSX-Windows.
* Fixed crash when changing audio sampling rate in fMSX-Windows.
SameBoy is a user friendly GameBoy and GameBoy Color emulator for macOS. SameBoy is extremely accurate and includes a wide range of powerful debugging features, making it ideal for both casual players and developers. In addition to accuracy and developer capabilities, SameBoy has all the features one would expect from an emulator – from save states to scaling filters. An experimental SDL version is available to Windows and Unix-like systems.
SameBoy v0.91 Changelog:
This version is a minor bug-fixing version
Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug where SameBoy froze for various amounts of time after using turbo mode.
Xebra is a progressing Japanese Playstation(PS) emulator for Win32.
Xebra (2017/07/11) Changelog:
① Slightly reduce data volume
In GTE, division is performed by reciprocal integration, and its inverse value is inferior in accuracy
It was obvious that the common value for each group was refined.
However, the calculation formula for refinement was unknown.
(There is only the Newton's law or the Gold Schmidt method as the theoretical formula
When dealing with integers, how to round numbers is arbitrary by the designer,
It can not be theoretically derived)
Although it was unknown, it is not a large amount of data for software on PC
I wish I could prepare the whole number as an immediate value table.
(This is effective also in terms of reducing the amount of computation at the time of execution)
When checking the calculation formula of the refinement indicated by nocash this time, since we saw an agreement in total,
I decided to adopt the calculation formula.
As an actual utility, compressed data which was 4000 bytes in old algorithm,
It is reduced to 257 bytes with the new algorithm.
Although the normal distribution data used by the SPU was held for all the sections,
Because it is bilaterally symmetrical, we deleted the half section.
