 Philips CD-i Emulator released
Posted by [vEX] @ 06:04 PM CET |  Comments: 0 |  Philips CD-i
|
The Philips CD-i system has pretty much been unemulated this far, but now things is changing. A new emulator has been released, simply named 'CD-i Emulator', unfortunally the emulator isn't free, but there's a time-limited demo to try.
| The CD-i emulator program (cdiemu) provides a fairly complete emulation of the hardware of an actual physical CD-i player.
/.../
The time-limited edition emulates for at most three minutes between CD-i player resets and does not support permanent saving of NVRAM data such as game highscores and other CD-i title settings. The unlimited edition does not have these restrictions.
In order to actually run CD-i software, the emulator needs copies of the CD-i system ROMs. These ROMs are copyrighted and cannot be freely redistributed, but you can easily obtain them via the serial port of a physical CD-i player using the provided CD-i Link program.

 MPH Downgrader Released (PSP firmware 2.0 to 1.50)
Posted by Keith @ 11:42 PM CET | Comments: 5 | PSP
|
Some exciting news has happened today. MPH has successfully created a way to downgrade the PSP firmware from version 2.0 to 1.50 using the recent toc2rta exploit (buffer overflow). The 1.50 firmware allows the use of homebrew apps and emulation to be run on your PSP handheld. This also allows all the newer Euro PSP handhelds to be downgraded as well. This has been confirmed to be working but please use at your own risk. Thanks to Kojote for the news on IRC.

64th Note 1.0 beta 15 Released
Posted by Keith @ 10:33 PM CET | Comments: 0 | Nintendo 64
|
A new beta build of 64th Note (USF plugin for Winamp) has been released. Here is what was posted for the beta 15 build.
| • removed a warning and interrupt in GenerateSectionLinkages (needed for Mario Tennis)
• added Auto Audio HLE (included file is incomplete but should be correct for those games it supports)
The Auto Audio HLE function depends on the in_usf.ini, which isn't nearly complete. I'll test some more as I go along. If you want to play with it yourself it is documented in the included 64thv100b15.txt. It's pretty basic, and I just use a checksum because I didn't know CRC32 off the top of my head.

Mednafen 0.3.4 Released
Posted by Keith @ 08:17 AM CET | Comments: 0 | Multi System
|
A new source and Win32 build of the multiple system emulator Mednafen has been released. Here is the list of changes for version 0.3.4.
| • Added command-line option "-autofirefreq" for setting the frequency of the configured auto-fire buttons when playing NES and PC Engine games.
• PCE: Fixed Street Fighter 2 HuCard emulation.
• PCE: Modified PSG waveform writing/DDA emulation, fixes "Fire Pro Wrestling - Combination Tag".
• PCE: Modified TRB and TSB emulation. Fixes "Toy Shop Boys".
• PCE: Implemented VRAM-VRAM DMA direction control bits.
• PCE: Altered VDC timing, fixing a few games, making a few games more bouncy. ;)
• PCE: Fixed sprite clipping on the left side of the screen.
• PCE: The emulated RCR register is now masked with 0x3FF when being set. Fixes Niko Niko Pun.
• PCE: Several CPU cycles are now emulated between setting the in-vblank flag and the vblank IRQ occurring. This works around an issue that would otherwise require timing granularity as small as one cpu cycle. Interestingly, this same type of problem occurs with NES emulation.
• PCE: Altered the display rectangle calculation code to take into effect screen areas that may be hidden on many television sets(and some games were designed with the assumption that these areas WOULD be hidden).
• PCE: Modified noise emulation...again. :b
• PCE: Modified LFO emulation, fixes major sound problems in "Bull Fight".
• PCE: The sprite DMA completion IRQ now occurs earlier(probably a few cycles too early now, but oh well). Fixes some graphical issues in "Bull Fight".
• PCE: Sprite bit plane selection is now emulated to a degree. Fixes "Fighting Run".
• PCE: Very high-frequency(and probably inaudible) sounds are no longer played, because Blip_Synth can't handle them well. Fixes "Bouken Danshaku Don" and others.

64th Note 1.0 Beta 13 Released
Posted by Clements @ 01:40 PM CET | Comments: 0 | Nintendo 64
|
A new beta build of 64th Note the USF plugin for Winamp has been released. Here is the changes for 1.0 Beta 13.
| * added alternate fade types (linear, log, cos)
* cleaned out unused options
* added "Track" field to USF Info window
* changed "Tagger" to "Tagged by"
* generally rearranged USF Info window
I don't like the empty space in the info window next to the track field, but I can't figure out a way to eliminate it. Track should be the first field in the window, so I can't just shove it in a corner.
Also, the three fade types discussed are now implemented and selectable in a combo box (which I just learned how to implement). cosine is the default at the moment, as it has won me over, but I'm still not sure it should be the default in the final version.
Something else I should mention: before release I intend to add a setting in the INI that specifies which version the settings are for, and if the version is different from the current version (or not set) the default settings will instead be written and used. This is to start everyone off with a clean slate after this beta test period has ended.
[edit]
Bah, looking at the info window the spacing between fields is a bit uneven and this is irritating me. I don't consider myself much of a UI designer but I do like consitancy in my dialogs. So here's the fastest new version yet.

RuMSX 0.32 Released
Posted by Jakob @ 01:55 AM CET | Comments: 0 | MSX
|
A new version of RuMSX has been released for your MSX emulation pleasure.
Here's what's new:
| # RUMSXEMU.ZIP (*updated*) has been changed and must be downloaded.
# RUMSXLNG.ZIP (*updated*) has been changed and need to be downloaded for localization-support.
# RUMSXLNX.ZIP (*updated*) contains partially localized versions of RuMSX (french+russian). In contrast to RUMSXLNG.ZIP the translation is not completed. So these resources are partially english. This file is NOT part of the InstallShield-version.
# RUMSXHLP.ZIP (*updated*) has been changed and must be downloaded (it contains RuMSX HTML-help files).
# RUMSXUNI.ZIP (*updated*) contains a trial-version of the RuMSX V0.32 unicode build (MSXW.EXE), which supports world-wide character sets in the single file. This file is NOT part of the InstallShield-version.
# Since V0.29 RuMSX supports a "My MSX" folder. This feature is disabled by default and has to be enabled by separate tools!
# Creation of new configurations created invalid paths to standard ROM images. This bug was new since V0.31.
# New introduced V9948 video processor was mistakenly assigned to MSX2+ and TurboR configurations.
# The VDP version number of the V9958 was incorrect (=1) since the beginning of RuMSX. This is now fixed (=2).
# VDP supports the native modes only (TMS9918A does no longer support SCREEN 4 and higher modes, V9938 does no longer support SCREEN 10 and higher modes). Prior versions reported only the correct VDP version number, but enabled all valid modes and command for every Video-Processor.
# When creating a new disk-image it's now possible to select between MSX-DOS1 and MSX-DOS2 boot-sectors.
# Using TrueColor RuMSX-logo from Marc Donkers in the AboutBox.
# Fixing repaint problems. If RuMSX was running or halted in background not all parts of the MSX display have been properly repainted.
# Extended advanced options to prevent entering of monitor power low/off modes (not recommended for laptops).
# Initial number of 5th/9th sprite is 0 (rather than 31 used until RuMSX V0.31), indicating that there are no hidden sprite lines.
# Minor fix of the Z80 RETI command (should not affect normal MSX programs)
# Pending VDP interrupts (signaled while interrupts disabled) were mistakenly discarded. This is now fixed and corrects
(a) the slowdown of games such as "Track & Field" and "Hyper Sports",
(b) flickering display in games using scanline interrupts such as "Zanac Ex" and "Aleste 2"
# Added support for Z80B CPU.
# Added CYRILLIC (russian) and ARABIC font to the "Locale" dialog.
# Updated MSX-locale and initial VDP-frequency of the CBIOS configurations according to the design- specifications. (RuMSX V0.31 did not contain the specified changes, even if listed).
# ROM cartridges with MSX-Basic programs were not detected properly.

A new version of clrmamepro has been released. Here is the changes for version 3.80.
| Sick of searching new datfiles? Not knowing which are up2date? Tired of visiting dozens of www sites to get new dats? Don't know how many new dats which don't have yet are out there....well....that's over....
Happily introduce to you: The WWW PROFILER
For more information read the wwwprofiler.txt file.
Some further stuff:
added: save set-list options added as copy to clipboard options too
added: delete options added as move (to a selectable folder) options too
added: rebuilder adv. lets you set the cache size for no-recompress rebuilds (8-128MB)
misc: optimized rebuilder's additional sha1/md5 checks
misc: profiler window and progresswindow shows correct icon ;)
misc: better remebering of last used profile
misc: readded some custom treecontrol functions (speeding up tree)
misc: rebuilder log gives some more detailed information for 'skip' events
misc: don't show number of received bytes anymore when importing data (reporting the size fluently could be the cause for some broken imports)
fixed: some rare exception in the 3rd party zipclass library
fixed: nodump handling controls can get enabled for some non-nodump dats
fixed: pressing progress window cancel in batchrun mode doesn't let you stop the batchrun optionally as well in all cases
fixed: since the zipscanner detects zips by structures and not by fileextension .zip it may run into trouble with file which are renamed zips.

| • Removed the unused internal 8x13 font.
• Removed stupid debugging code left over in the OpenGL code that could cause massive unnecessary frameskipping under common situations.
• Fixed a nasty bug in the iNES loading code that could cause segmentation faults on startup in some situations.

Mednafen 0.3.2 Released
Posted by [vEX] @ 10:23 AM CET | Comments: 0 | Multi System
|
A new version of the multiple system emulator Mednafen has been released.
| GB: CGB-specific emulated RAM is no longer saved in save-states.
GB: Fixed a bug in sound sweep emulation.
GBC: The palette is now saved in save states. This fixes a major problem with save states with most GBC games...
Fixed the SF*N() save state macros to not put quotes around names in save state files, and added a workaround for compatibility with old save states. This is an embarrassing bug. :b
PCE: Made major optimizations to the VDC emulation code.
PCE: Rewrote the PSG emulation to use Blip_Synth and Blip_Buffer.
PCE: Altered the noise channel emulation frequency calculation and LFSR emulation. I'm still not sure if it's correct.

Stella DS WIP News
Posted by Keith @ 03:32 AM CET | Comments: 0 | Nintendo DS
|
Just a little bit of work in progress news for the Stella (Atari 2600 emulator) port for the Nintendo DS handheld.
| Finally, got my wireless card. Now I can continue working, provided school does not get in my way.
I plan on rewriting the entire CPU core emulator to use ARM assembly. Then, I am going to add sound and a ROM menu so you do not have to painfully recompile the emulator every time you want to play something else.
Finally, when sgstair is done hacking wireless, expect to be able to play multiplayer Atari 2600 games with the person beside you or on the other side of the world.
Thanks buZz` from #dsdev for the new shot of H.E.R.O. on the About page.

 Sad News From The PCSX2 Dev Team
Posted by Keith @ 01:02 AM CET | Comments: 1 | Playstation 2
|
Looks like my good buddy Linuzappz has officialy quit the PCSX2 Development team. I personally want to thank him for all his great work and all the fun betas he passed my way for PCSX and PCSX2. I wish you the best Linuzappz and be sure to keep in touch.
Here is the official message from the PCSX2 Site.
| Linuzappz the lead coder for the PCSX2 project has 'officially' quit. This is due to several reasons, from slowly loosing interest in the project, to simply not having enough time to work on it.
I won't pull punches here, this is a major blow to this project as he is responsible for so much code, plugins and has an extensive knowledge of the PlayStation 2. Whilst he will pop in 'rarely' to lend a hand, or some advice he won't be working on it further
All of the betatesting team, his fellow developers and the general people who lend help in #PCSX2 will greatly miss him. We send him all our best, wish him luck with his hectic life and lets hope he gets atleast one date with Carolina Ardohรกin (Pampita)
PCSX2 is far from dead and both shadow, Saqib will maintain the project with the heap of coders we do have (Refraction, auMatt, GoldFinger etc..) Given this project has come so far just recently we won't be letting it go the way of the dodo.

 FpseCE 0.09.5 Released
Posted by Keith @ 08:26 AM CET | Comments: 0 | Playstation
|
A new version of the Playstation emulator for the PocketPC known as FpseCE has been released. Here is part of the changes for version 0.09.5.
| • Fixed lot of "bugs" that caused memory allocation errors on WM2003 SE.
• Fixed compatibility with UNICODE devices.
• Fixed some display bugs into the virtual gamepad.
• Fixed a bug in movies decoding when B/W output is selected.
• Fixed a bug with sound cache buffers.
• Now FPSE is compiled only with Microsoft Libraries except few speed critical functions.
• There is just one executable for all CPU and all WinCE platforms (I hope).
Select your ARM version into the main menu:
Options->Cpu type->ARM V4 (or ARM V5)
FPSE has been tested with WM2003 and WM2003SE. I don't know what it will happen with WM2002 and older: try it, perhaps it will work.
• Started support for LFB feature on VGA models (not working yet).
• Removed the old file selector. The new rountine is faster, it virtually
doesn't use memory (the previous one used more than 1MB or ram!!!) and
- it's much more colorful ^_^.
- It's also coded for being resolution-independent, so it should run fine
in VGA mode too in the future.
• The libraries LibZ and LIBBZip2 are now compiled as DLL.
This will be an advantage because:
- It uses less memory.
- We can change them easily without recompiling the emulator, if one day
a newer version of those libraries will come out.
• A new automatic frameskip function has been implemented.
• Some small speed improvements with compiled memory functions.
• Sound playback is much smoother now.
|
Head on over to the official site to check out more information regarding the frameskip options and to download the newly released version of PocketISO. Great work LDChen and schtruck.

Lots Of Site News
Posted by Keith @ 07:34 PM CET | Comments: 2 | Site
|
I have been wanting to post about all the recent changes we have done to the site but also wanted to wait until we had a bunch done. So I have just finished up the latest addition to Emulation64 and figured now would be a good time to go over all the recent changes.
- News and File Search - I have added search features for both the news database and the file database.
- File Database Reorganization - I have reorganized the file database and now we have them separated into consoles, handhelds, computer, arcade and misc sections (Thanks to PsyMan for the suggestion). Along with the search engine it should be a bit easier to find what you are looking for.
- News Archive - I have added a news archive and also made a new category list so you can easily view news by either month or by category.
- Redid The Guides Navigation - When the sites merged I was short on time so I had to write the guides script in about a day so I didn't have time to come up with something nicer at the time. So I have redone the guides navigation when viewing a guide and also added Previous and Next links (uses page titles). Looks much better now and the guides can now use the wasted space.
- Added a Main Menu - I added a main menu to the top right area of the menus. We are really starting to expand a lot and there is no room for more links at the top left of the site so I needed to make a menu. The menu lists all our major areas as well as a few useful things such as the news archive and RSS feed.
- News Credit System - I have also created a new feature for Emulation64. I wanted to way to give thanks and link back to sites that credit us for news. So I figured it would be cool to make an area where we could list the latest sites who have credited us for news. It basically shows the site name which is linkable to the site and the poster, post and date. It will list the last 50 credits and eventually when have more added we will add some cool stats such as top credit posters and top credit sites as well as an archive.
Whoo .. ok thats enough for now. I have also done some admin stuff that won't be very interesting to you guys and currently PsyMan and Gent are working on adding missing files to the database as well as updating outdated stuff. Jakob is working on adding his gallery script to the site which is very nice. Dark Watcher has added in a few of his guides from EmuFanatics and will be adding more soon. So as you can see we have been pretty busy and things are going great and its nice to see the merge working out so nice for everyone. Thanks for all the hard work guys lets keep it up. :)

Raine 0.43.2 Released
Posted by Keith @ 03:54 PM CET | Comments: 0 | Arcade
|
A new version of the arcade emulator Raine has been released. Here is the changes for version 0.43.2.
| • Haze added diverboy, mugsmash, cross pang.
• I added Jumping pop, and Tetris 2+ (or fixed it since there was a preliminary driver in raine since 0.28, but it was really the begining). I also added the esd16 driver from mame, with multi champ, multi champ deluxe, and head panic. All of these are using lots of colors !
• A few fixes for extreme video modes situations (linux console). WARNING: if you want to play with the frame buffer in linux, use allegro 4.2.0, frame buffer support has been broken for a very long time in allegro-4.1.x.
• Also some fixes to really prevent raine from changing the current video mode if the user forbids it or if the current video driver can't give the list of supported video modes by the monitor (which is the case of frame buffer driver for linux).
• Bezel fixes : when the video mode is not automatically changed, the bezel now adapts to the current mode (instead of not displaying anything). Also if you load a 2nd game which also uses a bezel, the 2nd bezel is now correctly handled.
• The buffer for the history.dat is doubled (for dkong for example), I should probably use a dynamic buffer for that... maybe later.
• Now raine supports multiple layouts / gfx layers, and is automatically calling make_solid_mask for a region when a layout is defined for it. gfx[n] always contains the nth layer in the layouts list, and gfx_solid[n] is the result of the call of make_solid_mask on this region, and max_sprites[n] contains the number of sprites for this area. Also the driver's loading function is now called BEFORE the layouts are applied, which allows to decrypt/convert the sprites and still use automatically the layers. This should have been added a long time ago, it became obvious just recently with all these drivers which needed manual graphics decoding.
• raine does its own tests for svgalib in linux now. If it does not detect vga.h at the standard places when compiling, then svgalib support is disabled.
• Fixed the fg layer of the 2nd tc100scn not updated in thundfox (thundfox seems to be the only game which uses a 2nd fg layer, so it escaped me !)
• while testing stuff with the eeproms, fixed pang3j which never worked (!), and added service mode controls for the pirates driver.
• fine tune the music of the hammer in donkey kong so that the other sounds can be heared while it's playing.

Mednafen 0.3.1 Released
Posted by Keith @ 06:47 AM CET | Comments: 0 | Multi System
|
A new source and Win32 build of the multiple system emulator Mednafen have been released. Here is the changes for version 0.3.1.
| Fixed a bug that existed since 0.2.0 that was causing a null-pointer deference in stat().Interesting, glibc silently ignored the error, but the error caused crashing under Windows.
PCE: The HuC6280 timer latch is now loaded with an appropriate value on reset. Fixes "Double Dungeons".
PCE: Added generic PC Engine save RAM emulation.
Update:
After realizing the PC Engine sound emulation code is much slower than I thought it was, I've rewritten it to be much faster, at about the same sound quality. Expect a release incorporating this new sound code later this week, after I do bug testing.

blueMSX 2.4 Released
Posted by [vEX] @ 02:28 PM CET | Comments: 0 | MSX
|
A new version of this MSX emulator has been released.
| Main changes in this version extend the features of the emulator in different domains :
- blueMSX had already support for all MSX machines and for some pre-MSX1 machines like the SVI-318/328 computers and the ColecoVision console, it has now support for the first Sega console, the SG-1000.
This addition comes from Ricardo Bittencourt, a well-known and very talented Brazilian programmer, who has rejoined the blueMSX developer's team.
- A new synchronisation mode has been added, it is linked to the PC Vertical Blank and does a linear interpolation of the MSX frames to match the PC monitor frequency.
It allows to get a video result that is almost as smooth as on a real MSX, but requires a very powerful PC and a videocard that supports this mode.
- The audio mixer is now, like the keyboard editor, a theme-written plugin and appears in an apart draggable window.
This evolution of the emulator is a first step to prepare a future Linux version. To reach this goal, more code must indeed become free from the Windows OS.
Which are the other changes ?
In the emulator :
- Added support for MSX-MIDI OUT in generic Turbo-R machines and in Panasonic FS-A1GT, with checkbox to map the MT-32 instruments to General MIDI
- Added support for the mapper and the soundchip (VLM5030) of the Konami Keyboard Master, an unreleased and rare cartridge
- Improved SCC emulation to support the NYYRIKKI's sample players
- Rewrote completely the interrupt support
- Added support for renewed CAS and DSK databases in XML format with SHA1 values
- Extended the CAS database with new entries and with data for the corresponding WAV files
- Added support for Chinese language (Chinese Simplified and Chinese Traditional)
- Added 5 new generic MSX machines : MSX1 Arabic, MSX1 French, MSX1 Russian, MSX1 Spanish, MSX2 Swedish
- Added the RS232 rom in all generic MSX machines
- Improved the SVI memory management
- Added support for the SVI-603 Coleco game adapter
- Added 2 SVI-328 machines with second video card (80 columns)
- Fixed different bugs
In the debugger :
- Added support for Chinese and Korean languages
- Added a window with list of values in the I/O ports
- Added a window to read and edit values of peripheral registers (VDP and PSG)
- Added saving of a disassembly in a text file
- Added saving of the memory in a binary file
In the tracer :
- Added support for Chinese and Korean languages

New PCSX2 WIP Video
Posted by Keith @ 06:04 PM CET | Comments: 3 | Playstation 2
|
A new video has been posted over at the official PCSX2 site showing off the latest developments to the IPU (Image Processing Unit) by Saqib. Here is what was posted over at the PCSX2 site.
| Saqib fixed a large portion of IPU (Image Processing Unit) support in PCSX2, whilst this work is highly WIP and only just happened, it is giving impressive results.
Videos (FMV's, cutscenes etc) had previously required patches to skip past them, otherwise the emulator would hang, now many games are playing videos (all be it very broken looking in many cases!), examples of games now showing FMV playback would include: Onimusha 2, Onimusha 3, R: Racing, Project Zero, Soul Calibur II, Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2 etc.
Video support will greatly increase the compatibility of PCSX2 and open up even more games for testing and viewing pleasure.
To show you this good news our tester Rudy_X produced a video from Final Fantasy X DEMO to show you video playback and how it allows you to progress further into the game!

Sorry this build took so long. I actualy forgot to finish it off when I had issues with getting irda to work. I desided to just go ahead
and release this build as there are a few who wish to have it. Yet there is a few issues with this build. First Samurai Shodown 2 & Last blade have some serious issues with the emulator. I have no idea what broke still but both games will lock up for a few mins durring a battle then resume but yet keep repeating this every so often. Someone told me Sonic was not working in the last build but seem to be fine in this build (I played till the 2nd world just fine). The game is actualy decent to play at 333 and a frameskip of 4. Well thats about it. Enjoy.
Oh one last thing. Thanks to everybody who donated for me to get a second PSP. I have been working on the wifi library, dubed Nemo, and I am very very close to getting adhoc suport done for p2p. So hopefuly I can get a adhoc demo out in the near future once i can finish off the rewrite of the librarys. Exspect a huge thank you personaly to every donator in the wifi demo.
Ps. I officialy changed my name from nexis2600 to PSmonkey now.
-- *NOTE* - This build defaults to 333Mhz as it was a development build. You can still downclock the emu to 222 via the menu.
.) Removed VSync from rendering. Games get a small boost and framerate is now around 40-50 fps in most games. A improvement over being a pretty solid 30.
.) Sound code is there but ungodly bad. I left it in this build in the hope someone can help me out with correcting it and getting it accurate.
.) Suport for using a real bios added but disabled in this build.

KlipFolio Feed Added To The Site :)
Posted by Keith @ 09:33 AM CET | Comments: 0 | Site
|
I have added a KlipFolio feed for The Emulation64 Network since we are a premier site for emulation news and we want to provide a variaty of ways to access our news. This is something I have used in the past with EmuFanatics which worked out great for our visitors who already used KlipFolio.
I have made a little guide on how to get started with KlipFolio and how to add our feed. I have also created 3 different klip files which offer different checking times. The 3 options are to check every 60, 30 or 15 minutes. You can of course edit this on your own by downloading our klip file and editing it in a text editor.
Well while I am posting site news I figured I would let you guys know that we are currently working on our download database. We are adding missing files, updating file information and doing some reorganization. We will post again once we are done. :)

DSemu 0.4.7 Released
Posted by Keith @ 06:39 AM CET | Comments: 0 | Nintendo DS
|
Chris Double has released a new version of the Nintendo DS emulator DSemu. Here is the changes for version 0.4.7.
| • Support for the X and Y keys have been added. This can be configured using the Options/Configuration menu option. The code for this was contributed by Normmatt.
• Many fixes to key handling. Anything but A and B keys were very buggy in previous builds. My 'keys' demo from my tutorials now works correctly and Space Invaders is now playable.
• Support for GBA games was re-added. It was removed when I first took up support of DSEmu until I understood the code better. It is now back in and will be maintained.
• The FIFO registers have been implemented. This is an important feature for DSLinux and a step towards support for the commercial downloadable demos.
• Various bug fixes in graphics code.
The compuational accelerator registers have been implemented. Again, a steps towards support for the commerical downloadable demos. Contributed by Julien Hamaide.
• Workaround for 'console scramble'. There has been an issue since DevkitPro R14 which causes text output using the console output routines to be scrambled. I implemented a workaround in 0.4.6 but it didn't work for homebrew programs built with previous versions. I've been unable to fix the problem so far, so I added a 'Unscramble console text' option in the Options/Configuration menu option. If you run a game and the text appears scrambled, check or uncheck this, and it should correct the problem when you press 'Ok'. I hope to fix this in 0.4.8.

CaSTaway/PSP 004b alpha Released
Posted by Keith @ 04:45 PM CET | Comments: 0 | PSP
|
A new update for the CaSTaway port for the PSP handheld has been released. Here is the changes for version 004b.
| NEW: Caching of the database lookups; having it re-scan the disk database every time got on my nerves quick, so now it caches the lookups to memstick; as such you only get the 'big hit' once, or whenever you copy over a pile of new disk images. Subsequent loads will only check new disks, so the lookup will be much faster each run.
o Side effect -- if you _rename_ files around, you might eventually need to delete the STCACHE.TXT file as it would become inaccurate. But no biggy, I doubt anyone will do that..

GameEx 5.07 & 5.08 Released
Posted by [vEX] @ 07:11 PM CET | Comments: 0 | Arcade
|
I bet you saw this one coming, another release of this emulator frontend.
(Updated with 5.08 release. Thanks Hawq for notifying me.)
| 5.08
- Fixes issue with startup error loading a bmp when it should be loading a png and graphics transparency in 5.07
- Play Video/MNG DLL's upgraded to Visual Studio .net 2003.
5.07
- Themes now support PNG's
- All themes included in install converted to PNG's. No more Bitmaps.
- This means the GameEx install now takes a third of the hard disk space, and the Install file itself is 1.5MB smaller.
- Note: This does not mean transparency/alpha is now supported.
- New shortcut in Start Menu program group to create MAME snap videos for every game!
- You can also use this to create missing MNG videos from Crashtests set. It wont overwrite existing. Have a video for 'every' single game ;)
- I'd like feedback on the above.
- Uninstall no longer deletes custom input file and included advanced emulator configs.
- I highly recommend doing an uninstall before installing this version to free up about 200MB of hard disk space by deleting all the old theme bitmaps.
- Your own themes using bitmaps should still work, if you've modified the included themes, as usual back them up before uninstalling or installing.

The first release of a Spectrum emulator for the PSP, PsPectrum, has been released. Here's a note from the author.
| After 4 months of hard work today is the big day, PsPectrum v.01 is being released. Greetings go to HexDump because of his hard work.
This version of the emulator is far from perfect. Because of that, it would be really helpfull if you post any bug you find on the forums.
More features are being implemented at this time, they couldnยดt be pushed in this version because of the lack of time, for example, image streching, 128k sound, etc...
Lot a of people has helped to this project, here some:
Oscar (nice programming tips), Rober (Some images), Unai (nice 565 rendering code), rlyeh (tips on emulation), Z80User (info about speccy hardware), baktery (tips on audio emulation) and all the others, you know who you are (canยดt remember everyone :P).

 StellaPSP 0.2 Released
Posted by Jakob @ 05:18 AM CET | Comments: 0 | Atari
|
A new version of the PSP port of the Atari 2600 emulator called Stella, has been released.
Here's the news:
| It has been a while, but here it is, a new version of Stella for the PSP. A lot has changed since the initial release.
Changes:
- added paddle support
- added better d-pad support
- use the GU instead of SDL for rendering
- title screen (if someone can make a better one, contact me!)
- menus are now overlays so the font seems smaller (acually, it's the same size, but it now uses the full resolution of the PSP)
- I found the blend function
- and many small bugs have been removed
- holding down the d-pad in the menus will make it scroll faster
- analog in menus is very fast scrolling
- support for 10 state files per rom, use left/right on the Load/Save menu item to change the current state number
If you find any bugs, don't hesitate to email me at [email protected]. If you do though, make sure you can reproduce the bug easily and tell me how that is done, only then can I find the bug. Eg. telling me it just crashes isn't helping...
Maybe there will be another bug-fix release anytime soon, but most of my time will be spent to help the official Stella team to create version 2.0 of the emulator with, off-course, some of my changes for the PSP...
Well, have fun!

Atari 800 on the PSP, YES PLEASE!
Here's what the author had to say:
| This is just a quick and dirty port to the PSP of the very nice Atari 400/800/XL/XE/5200 emulator. It's a work in progress. This port was done by Alysa Habraken (aka Aenea). Thanks to the original authors for creating this.
- default, it's configured for the 5200, place the 5200 rom in /Atari800/Roms
- no rom selector, get a rom, name it rom.a52 and put it in /Atari800/Cartridges
- Start = well, Start
- Select = Select
- Square = Option
- no d-pad support
- analog support
- no sound support
- Cross is fire
- no real menus
In the next version sound and a fully working menu system will be added.
Have fun!

ZSNES 1.42n Released
Posted by Clements @ 03:45 AM CET | Comments: 0 | SNES
|
ZSNES 1.42n has been released, a build of ZSNES based on an earlier WIP designed specifically for improved netplay.
| I am pleased to announce the release of a new ZSNES build for more stable netplay.
Most of the thanks for this goes out to pagefault who fixed stack corruption issues in our SPC emulation so randomness isn't introduced there anymore as well as fixing other SPC oddities.
This special edition of ZSNES is based on CVS/WIP from April 4 2005.
Thanks also goes to the valgrind team for making a great tool to spot stack corruption, which was used to find our problem.
Also special thanks to myself and grinvader for back porting to last netplay enabled WIP, testing to make sure it worked nicely for games without transitions, and packaging this release.
You can download for Windows, or source which compiles on *nix too.

The build is available from Nach's site:

FPSE Port For The GP2X In The Works
Posted by Keith @ 08:08 PM CET | Comments: 0 | GP2X
|
My good buddy LDChen has posted over at the official FPSEce forums about the possibility of porting over his great Playstation emulator FPSE to the new and upcoming GP2X handheld. In the post he also mentions his desire to port FPSE for the PSP and the work he has done to make that possible but with the restriction of using homebrew and not being able to test it, the outlook is not so good.
I know from talking to him before that he has had a GP32 version in the works for sometime as well as the PSP one and now with the new GP2X coming we might finally see Playstation emulation on a handheld gaming system. Keep up the great work LDChen.
Many thanks to my buddy wraggster from the best PSP homebrew site for the heads up on IRC about this great news.

P.E.Op.S SPU2 1.3 Released
Posted by Keith @ 11:18 PM CET | Comments: 1 | Playstation 2
|
Pete has released a new version of P.E.Op.S SPU (sound) plugin for Playstation 2 emulation. Here is the changes for both the Win32 and Linux builds.
| • Educated ears (like the ones from R.Belmont :)) noticed that the plugin's sound output was somewhat slower compared to the real PS2.
Well, I've finally found some time, and I've fixed it.
On the downside the plugin now needs a soundcard which can do 48Khz output (but prolly all nowaday cards can do that, at least my test systems had no problems).
Please also be aware that some of the many pcsx2 patches are turning off the sound (for example I was wondering why my FF10 PAL version didn't play any sounds at all, until I've noticed that there was a pcsx2 patch which disabled the menu sounds... for unknown reasons, since after deleting the patch the music played fine in the plugin).

|
Skeezix has released a new version of his CaSTaway port for the PSP handheld. Here is the changes for version 002 alpha.
| Alpha 002
---------
NEW: Basic disk picker (it works, but not fancy yet)
o Lists .ST and .MSA files in the /PSP/GAME/ATARI_ST directory
o Don't use MSA's yet.. they're screwy
o Press 'X' to run the emulation
o Press '()' (circle) to select a disk; you should always select a disk at this point, since if it runs without any disks it gets confused for now
o Only put in 5 or less disks for now; lame, but I ran out of time and wanted you to have something to play with for the weekend :) (Spent days tracking down an obscure bug :/)
CHG: Mouse speed increased a bit; double-click and such should work
REM: TOS has to be called TOS.ROM (TOS.IMG seems not to work.. not sure why :/)
o You need a TOS.ROM file; don't ask me where to get it.. ask Google or suck it from your Atari ST machine.
NEW: Full screen scaling with smoothing by default
NEW: Onscreen virtual ST keyboard
o Use [SELECT] to toggle keyboard on or off
o While present, left d-pad controls keyboard selection point and right d-pad X will push the selected key
o Adjusted key hold duration and repeat duration to avoid million-presses

GameEx 4.98 Released *Update
Posted by Keith @ 12:03 AM CET | Comments: 2 | Arcade
|
A new version of the gaming frontend GameEx has been released. Here is the changes for version 4.97.
Update: Version 4.98 has been released. Below is the changes for both 4.97 and 4.98
| 4.97
• New Advanced MAME setting to bypass disclaimer and warning screens.
• Updated MNG/Snap Video player.
• Should hopefully fix issues with GameEx closing when launched from Media Center.
• Now uses -verifyroms instead of -verifysets (removed in latest MAME builds)
• Huge thanks to DJROBX for help with this release.
4.98
• GameEx will no longer install if .net framework 2.0 (Beta) is installed.
• This will hopefully involve less support queries, and needless bug reports.
• Experimental command line option, to create .mng videos for all MAME parent games. -createvideos
• The created videos can of course be previewed in GameEx, but at the time of writing be aware MNG support in MAME still has a few issues.
• I'm really hoping come MAME 1.0 this will be an awesome feature for a front end.

Mednafen 0.2.1 Released
Posted by Keith @ 09:26 PM CET | Comments: 0 | Multi System
|
A new source release of the multi system emulator Mednafen has been released. Here is the changes for version 0.2.1.
| • GBA: Converted the DMA registers into arrays, rather than having them as a gazillion different variables.
• GBA: Replaced the if() alpha-blending clamping mechanism with a simple LUT.
• GBA: Removed some apparently unnecessary if() statements in the graphics rendering code.
• GBA: Made a few experimental optimizations to the graphics rendering code( >> 24 changed to & 0xFF000000 in some of the priority comparison code).
• GBA: Played around with some optimizations in the "gfxDrawTextScreen" function.
• GBA: Restructured the CPU emulation code, so I don't have to recompile one giant file when I make a small change(and so it doesn't use totally obscene amounts of RAM during compilation).
• GBA: The sound flushing routine was returning and setting the wrong values, totally breaking the speed-throttling code. Fixed.
• GB: Slightly increased the video contrast and brightness of the original GameBoy's emulation.
• GBA: Extended the BLIP buffer size, fixing a startup emulator crash with "Midway's Greatest Arcade Hits", and possibly other games.
• Updated the documentation with better explanations in a few areas, and fixed a few errors.

FCEUXD SP 1.04 Released
Posted by Keith @ 03:13 AM CET | Comments: 0 | NES
|
A new version of FCEUXD SP an NES emulator has been released. Here is a rundown on the changes for version 1.04.
| • New: Better error handling
• New: Invalid lines in NL files are now shown to the user instead of being silently ignored. This gives the user the opportunity to fix erroneous lines.
• New: Good news for other developers, all C files added by me are now fully documented.
• Change: Array indices in disassembly windows are now hexadecimal values.
• Bugfix: Fixed a bug that occured when loading the bookmark description of hex bookmarks from disk
• Bugfix: Fixed a bug that occured when using arrays and long comments in symbolic debugging
• Bugfix: Fixed a bug that occured when reading NL files
Now my comment about this release:
This release was mainly a release that's supposed to be the basis for future bugfixing releases. Most of the new stuff I added is of no concern to actual users of the emu. In this release the code was cleaned up and error handling was significantly improved. That means I should be able to find bugs way quicker from now on. At least in theory. Let's hope I'm right here.
I also have a real build script now! Well, OK, it's just a BAT file but that means I probably won't forget to include the readme.txt file in future releases.
Anyway, I'd also appreciate if people would send me their NL files. I only have my own ones from Faxanadu and they might not be sufficient for testing. My mail address is webmaster@รค[email protected]. Thanks.
