New Version Of The Arcade Emulator Mame4All

Category: MAME

By Hawq 

Do you have a GP2X or Wiz and want some mobile arcade fun? then this is the emulator for you let’s see what this pocket arcade gives you this time round:

  • Added volume control to the frontend. Also the default volume is lowered down.
  • Fixed memory bug with games containing multiple FM sound systems. This stops some games crashing on exit.
  • New option to enable DRZ80 only for the sound CPUs. Improves the compatibility of DRZ80. It is automatically enabled to gain speed in several games (e.g. several Capcom, Sega and Midway games).
  • Several other fixes taken from Slaanesh code (GP32 and Dingoo ports).
  • Added new skins from GP32 and Dingoo ports (by Antiriad and Slaanesh).
  • Added script to use 64 MB of additional virtual memory (swap file on the SD card). It will reduce the life of the SD card. Use at your own risk!.
  • GP2X: Upper memory is used as primary memory for all memory allocations to avoid lock-ups due to memory management bugs. Not used for the Neo·Geo executable (to be able to run the heaviest games).
  • WIZ: Added support for hardware timer. Not enabled yet (it seems to slow down the emulator a bit).
  • Source code clean-up to avoid port definitions in the common part. Also improved makefiles are created.
  • Preliminary integration of the ARMNEC core (created by Oopsware). Some games start to run but nothing playable yet. Disabled for now.

      New Version Of The SNES Emulator Bsnes

      Category: bsnes

      By Hawq 

      More updates from byuu now, let’s see what he has to say about his SNES emulator this time:

        I suppose I should start calling these nightlies, heh. blargg went ahead and verified every last possible edge case with regards to the S-CPU MUL / DIV registers. It uncovered a few errors in my implementation, which have since been corrected. The design used now should be a direct reflection of the hardware implementation: no actual multiplication, no actual division, and no variable-length bit-shifting.
        We also spent about eight hours straight hammering away at the S-SMP test register. We have a partial understanding of TEST.d3 and TEST.d0, and a complete understanding of the other six bits. All of this has been implemented as well.
        Lastly, snesreader gets a tiny update to fix Test Drive II, which broke due to a slight regression when porting the mapping code to XML.

      • Press the Left Thumb to go back to the roms list.

      You can read more and comment in this thread in the Xbox-scene boards, thanks go to them for this bit of news, not sure on whether it was built using a leaked dev kit or not so no download just yet.
