VisualBoyAdvance-M SVN r1030

"r1026
recommended optimisation config, verified 15-20% speedup when running turbo using smba4-smb3 (previous was 213-221%, now is 221 with frequent jumps to 228%)
r1027
made code generation and emulator execution slightly faster (enabled MT compiling on the dependencies), hopefully addressed the buggy breakpoint file issue reported by AdamN
r1028
in the EXECUTE_PROCESS command in the CmakeLists.txt file for the wxwidgets gui was missing the end bracket, this should fix it, next on the list is work on using ffmpeg as an external dependency and not need it as a requirement (hopefully), if it doesn't work, you can shoot me Squall
r1029
fex is a dependency, it should be, and now is in the folder with the rest of our dependencies (breaks cmake on both prewx and trunk)
r1030
correction to OP_MVNS, fixed by AdamN, fixes vrally 3 flickering"

PSP Custom Firmware 6.39 ME-9.2

"PSP developer, also PRO Team dev, neur0n has released his Custom Firmware called Minimum Edition (ME) for 1000, 2000, 3000, and GO models, that uses 6.39 OFW.

PCSX2 SVN r4851

"r4851
SPU2-X / portaudio: Fix the requested latency from a hardcoded 200ms to "as close as you can to 64 samples / buffer".
Causes internal buffer size allocations to be as small as possible within portaudio and the OS, so it can have bad effects if the number turns out to be too small.
Would be nice if someone with a "real" audio card (Audigy, X-fi or similar) tested WASAPI Exclusive Mode, KS or ASIO with this change."

Altirra 2.0 Test 24

FourDO v1.0.2.0 Alpha

"- Support the NVRAM. Backing it in the file "NVRAM_SaveData.ram" in the same directory as 4DO.exe. It is not possible to configure it but it works.
- The author believes that the problems on Windows 64 bits come from the absence of the C + + runtimes.
- The author has tried to contact the team Freedo. There are several versions of this emulator that have never been "officially" published, yet they have significant improvements (mainly in terms of graphics) in the nucleus. Improvements Johnnydude would like to use. He believes that is a waste of time to develop two parallel 3DO emulators then it would be possible to move forward together. He does not know if that means its merger in the rest of the team of Freedo, or else the other hand, the merger of the members of Freedo in 4DO, or all of its diplomatic efforts will be useless."

Dapplegrey v2.29.1

"- In the Tab Panel 'Drives', if a drive is empty, the Eject button will be disabled now.
- Some other fixes."

Source

GameEx v11.97

"Improved rendering performance of videos.
Some throttling is applied again if GameEx is running way too fast."
