New MAMED Release!
MAMED is a build of the arcade emulator MAME for Dreamcast. MAMED changes: Fixed floating point calculations, fixes some sound emulation and vector games and background png image loading. Games which use the 68K are marked with all CAPS, cause the 68K cpu isn't in this release (saves about 1MB or RAM). If you select a game and it doesn't run you selected a game that uses 68K, you ran out of RAM, you don't have the correct rom set for MAME core 37b6, you selected a clone rom set and you don't have the parent set on the same CD. If a game doesn't have correct sound you might need samples, some games that don't require samples now did require them for this older version of the MAME core. I now support both 8 & 16 bit graphics modes. In 16 bit, if possible I avoid using lookup tables and use direct copy which is much faster (BTW the compiler lib built-in memcpy() is way slow, avoid in your own stuff if possible). Use 8-bit for larger games that require more memory. I also added an new graphics mode that tries to scale a little better. You can run MAMED from the command line with a rom name argument to create a self boot single game CD if you wish. Rescanning of the CD is only done when you select "RESCAN". You can put a snap directory on the CD and the png file corresponding to the rom name is displayed in the background in the game list menu (looks really nice BTW). There is preliminary support for a config file on the CD called MAME.CFG you can use it if you like. Overall stability should be improved and many more games that didn't run before should run now. If you screw up your boot disk but do manage to get KOS on there I will run KOSH which is built into the KOS image in /rd. And finally the X & B buttons are swapped from the last release. Know MAMED problems: 68K emulation doesn't work, duh? Sometimes sound startup and shutdown is not in sync with the HW and can cause the Dreamcast to reset, I'm looking into it, can cause some games to fail at startup or shutdown at random. There are a few games that should work that don't, playchoice10 comes to mind, I'm working on it. Cheat, History, Hiscore, Mameinfo are not working, don't even try and put the file on the CD. Memory fragmentation needs to be improved to avoid crashes and allow switching to other packs. KOS changes: Increased the iso9660 disk cache from 32K to 128K (should hold any size rom disk you stick in, I might reduce it a bit in the future but I have room for the moment). Memory allocation that fails no longer reset the dreamcast (the MAME source code is pretty good and can recover correctly from out of memory conditions). Memory can still get fragmented after using MAMED for a while and cause out of memory conditions and even crashes. I also adjusted the stack ceiling from 64K to 128K to avoid stack overflow problems.

MEKA 0.58 Released!
MEKA is a SG-1000, SC-3000, Sega Mark III, Sega Master System, Sega Game Gear, Colecovision & Othello Multivision emulator for DOS. News: - Added PSG sound logging to WAV files, accessible from the Sound menu. - Rewrote messaging system, added localization support. Moved all messages to an external file, MEKA.MSG. You can now change 95% of the texts used in Meka, and translate it to the language of your choice. I am however NOT YET sure about how accents will work, since it depends on the font used. This feature required a pass on all existing code and so took plenty of time to do (10+ hours), I might have screwed a few messages during the change, so be sure to send me an e-mail if you notice anything unusual. - Implemented a VDP quirk found in Master System 2 but not Master System 1 or Game Gear, discovered by Charles Mac Donald (thanks Charles!). This one fixes Cosmic Spacehead *BUT* might screws up few other games. I did a bit of testing but couldn't do them all again, so please report if you notice anything unusual with another game. - Improved hardware sprite collision accuracy, fixed a bug in some cases where it was previously framerate dependant, and rewrote the whole code in assembly. - Changed initializations messages and some other messages. - Fixed an incorrect numbers of TV lines in PAL/SECAM TV emulation (due to a typo - thanks goes to cgfm2 for pointing me this stupid error!), allowing removal of a few custom MEKA.NAM parameters (Daffy Duck in Hollywood..). - Fixed the annoying bug that caused crashes on startup under DOS when sound was enabled. - Fixed a minor bug in Codemaster mapper emulation, that affected the checksum check of 'Drop Zone' (although the game worked). - Fixed crash when using a patch defined in MEKA.PAT that write outside of any existing data. - Added (very) quick and (very) dirty frame-per-frame advance by pressing ALT-F12. In fact, it will unpause the game then pause it back next frame. - Updated Colecovision compatibility list and added some product IDs, thanks to Tincho DJ. The current state with Colecovision games is: a mess :( Someone will lots of Colecovision knowledge would be very helpful to help sorting out all bad dumps, testing games and redumping others.

There is nothing else new in the patch. To keep the download small, this patch is only the executable, so you'll need the complete 0.6.3 release."

ZsKnight leaves the emulation scene!
The ZSNES homepage has updated with shocking news. ZsKnights dad has passed away, whom has been supporting the family, and he still has 2 more years left in college before graduation, so he's in a predicament. He has announced that he is leaving the emulation scene. He will make a formal goodbye once he is out of shock. Here is the message from the homepage: "I'm sorry to say this, but this marks my permanent leave from the ZSNES project, anything related to this, and emulation overall. The reason why is that my dad just passed away today, so I'm going to have to spend more of my energy devoted to helping my family. My dad is also the main person who provides the finances to the family (since my mom doesn't work), plus I still have about 2 more years to go before I graduate from university, so my immediate future doesn't look that great. But I just hope that everything will go well. Thanks to all you supporters for everything. Sorry for the lack of a proper goodbye though, so I'll probably update once more after I get out of this shock in another day. - zsKnight" Lets wish zsKnight alot of luck and hope for his future. Also lets hope that zsnes doesn't die as a result of this either. Thanks to [stig] on irc for the news.

Snes9xWin 1.38 Released!
Snes9x is a Super Nintendo emulator for a lot of different systems. This time the Windows port was updated. News: * Added support for Star Ocean and Street Fighter 2 Alpha decompressed graphics packs from dejap. Used a binary chop search rather than a linear search to locate correct decompressed graphics more quickly - should help emulation speed during later stages of the game. * Included OpenGL support into the Linux port and speeded up the Windows OpenGL implementation slightly. The real speed up would occur if I could figure out how/if 16-bit textures are supported in OpenGL because at the moment the 16-bit software rendered SNES image must be converted to 24-bit before being uploaded as a texture... * Included the latest ZSNES DSP-1 code. Now Pilotwings, SD Racer and Suzuka 8 Hours are playable. Aim For The Ace, Super Air Diver 1 & 2 and Syutoko Battle 94 are also playable, but with bugs. Thanks to zsKnight, _demo_, et al for all their hard work. * Another Daffy Duck: Marvin Missions screen flicker problem worked around - writing to the IRQ enable register shouldn't clear any pending IRQs, but Sieken 3 seems to require this or else the game hangs. Special-cased Daffy Duck for now. * An NMI emulation bug was triggering a Panic Bomberman World game bug, crashing it. Basically, if a game enables NMIs after the normal trigger point, the NMI should not trigger if the game has already read the NMI clear register. * Panic Bomberman World requires SPC700 memory to be initialised to zero on reset otherwise the game hangs when a tune finishes and another one should start. * Added mouse pointer auto-hide to the Windows port. Much better than the turn the mouse pointer into a black dot method I was using before. - Included the latest ZSNES Super FX code. Not sure if it fixes actually fixes any games. * Added an offset hack for Strike Gunner to get the scrolling ground layer to line up correctly - another offset-per-tile bug hacked around for now. * Arrr! Left in some debugging code in the last release that prevented all games that need the slower SPC700 timing from working. Removed it. * Hmm. The broken cut-scenes in Deep Space 9 seem to indicate that I haven't got the emulated clock speed of the 65c816 CPU correct yet. And not by a little bit - a 9% too slow error. Hacked special timing for the game for now. * Added triple-buffering to Windows port - enabling double-buffering actually enables triple-buffering if you have enough free video RAM, defaulting to double-buffering if you don't. * Fixed another crash bug in the interpolated mode 7 code - if no scaling was being used (either up or down) and screen repeat was enabled and the screen was flipped horizontally, the routine would crash Snes9x. Was causing Snes9x to crash during rock monster boss stage of Castlevania 4. * Oops. Got the initialisation of the default SNES screen width and height round the wrong way - could cause a X Windows System error message on the UNIX port after loading a ZSNES freeze file. * Included the unofficial Windows port emulation fixes for several games including Kentouou World championship and TKO Super Championship. * Included ??? improved Anti Res. sound sample decoding routine and updated the C version to match. * Included Anti Res. improved sample decompression code he sent me ages ago, but for some reason I didn't include. Sorry. This version seems good enough to leave enabled all the time. Get it from this page.

New MAMED Release!
MAMED for DC is another port of the arcade emulator MAME to Dreamcast. Notes from author: "The CD swap bug has been fixed. Turned out to be a single character in the KOS iso9660 driver (uint32 changed to int32) for those that want to know. So now you need my special version of KOS to run MAMED on your dreamcast, although this version should run any standard KOS application without problems. I've included the standard KOS boot script support in this special version so you can change which mamed.klf gets run of a CD or so you can run some kind of KOS menu application to select one. Disk swapping should not cause any problems, to refresh the screen just try and load something that's not on the disk by pressing start from the game list and it will rescan the CD correctly. Just be sure to edit the boot.rc file to run the version of mamed.klf you want. I've also imbedded the stream.drv in the /rd inside KOS so you don't need it on the CD anymore. OK now on to the MAMED packs. All cpu and sound drivers are inside in each pack so they will be too big to load onto /rd and run it from there so they must be on a CD to run preferably the CD with KOS above. All MAME drivers are included and separated by manufacture groups but not all will run because of memory constraints. I tried to make all the packs about the same size (~5MB). I can fairly easily make special builds to run a particular game with only the bare minimum of code but I will work on that later. Remember the uncompressed rom size is important but also each driver has to emulate ram chips inside the machine too so don't expect a rom that uncompresses to 14.6MB to run on the dreamcast you need space for ram chips and the emulator code and even then it might be just too slow. Also remember this is based on MAME v37b6 not the latest and some rom have changed." There are 15 different packs on the homepage and a DiscJuggler image of the first pack. Get it from this page.
