Emulation News 112: Updates for 7-21-11


We sure have a busy day of news! Be sure to check them out!


MESS SVN r12289

"r12289
Quick fix for Virtua Racing (uses work ram-h cache area)"

Source

DOSBox SVN r3731

"r3731
Let's not copy extended memory when we finish waiting."

Source

Fceux SVN r2218

"r2218
Button Count
-Made it so that the registerload / registersave functions are only used if registerload exists. I'll presume there is no emulator that supports one and not the other. This will allow VBA to use this script, although it'll be missing one of the better features until it supports this function.
-Made the number of controllers tracked configurable. VBA was counting everything twice when this was set to 2. It will still default to 2, but it'll be easier for people to modify this for VBA now."

Jpcsp SVN r2214

"r2212
Improved compiler to better support re-compilation of code sequences when the code has been changed: sceKernelIcacheInvalidateRange.
Now, only the changed code is re-compiled, not everything as previously.
This should help games reporting "OutOfMemoryError: PermGem space" after some time.
r2213
Improved message for "Prometheus Loader": make it more explicit.
r2214
Improved compiler to better support re-compilation of code sequences when the code has been changed: sceKernelIcacheInvalidateRange.
Now, only the changed code is re-compiled, not everything as previously.
This should help games reporting "OutOfMemoryError: PermGem space" after some time."

Speccy v1.7.2 for Android

"On July 19 2011, I have published the initial version of Speccy for Android. Please, give it a try and report any encountered problems in the discussion group.

The latest release fixes a problem with the WD1793 disk controller that made some Russian disk magazines fail to load. It will also save and load .Z80 files with the Pentagon and Scorpion extensions. The Maemo5 (Fremantle) version is now fully functional, while I am still providing a package for Maemo4 (Diablo) for those who have older internet tablets."

Snes9x EX v1.4.0

"Emulator for the SNES/Super Famicom based on Snes9x 1.43. Beware of Market apps using Snes9x commercially under different names (To the best of my knowledge, it's used by all current SNES emulators on the Market). Snes9x has a non-commercial use license and these apps cannot legally be sold or force you to view ads. Furthermore, many of these unlicensed versions are from scam developers who constantly remove and repost the apps under different names to rip off unsuspecting users. Snes9x EX is properly licensed, as are all my other emulator apps. I'll also answer questions related to this app on the official Snes9x message boards.

No ROMs are included with this app and must be supplied by the user. A number of public domain games/demos are available at www.pdroms.de. Transfer games anywhere to your SD card and browse to them from within the app (default SD card directory is /mnt/sdcard). Enable the Direct Texture option if supported by your device to increase performance (don't enable if you experience lockups). You can use the .sav files from other SNES apps by making a copy and changing the extension to .srm.
Visit the homepage at explusalpha.com for more info, ports for other platforms, and my other apps. Please report any crashes or device-specific problems via email (include your device name and OS version) so future updates continue to run on as many devices as possible."

Virtual Gameboy v3.5.2 for Android

"VGB emulates GameBoy handheld game consoles and their accessories. It will run GameBoy, GameBoy Pocket, GameBoy Color, and Super GameBoy games on your Android phone or tablet. VGB also supports the Pocket Printer, GameGenie cheat codes, and more. Please notice that VGB will not play GameBoy Advance games: you will need VGBA for that.

VGB package itself does not contain any games. You should place your own game files onto the SD card before running VGB.

Please, do not run any software you do not own with VGB. The author cannot and will not tell you where to find free GameBoy games."

Virtual Gameboy Advance v3.6.2 for Android

VGBA package itself does not contain any games. You should place your own game files onto the SD card before running VGBA.
