zBoy v0.50

"- zBoy has been entirely rewritten in C language, using SDL for input, video and timing routines,
- Added support for 8x graphic scaling (which ends up with a game resolution of 1280x1152),
- Added support for screensaver inhibition under Windows (--NOSCREENSAVER),
- Palette customization has been hardcoded into zBoy (no support for external palette files anymore, but you can choose an alternative palette from a predefined set of palettes),
- Fixed the time adjustment routine (it doesn´t speeds up over 100% of normal game speed after being late for some time),
- Replaced the EPX graphic filter by Scale2x (slightly faster), and renamed EPX3 by Scale3x (which is the technically correct name),
- Made the Scale2x scaling the default one,
- Dropped DOS support,
- Dropped fullscreen support,
- Fixed the ADC opcode emulation (wasn´t setting the C flag when carry from bit 7)
this made all the Megaman serie playable,
- Fixed the SBC opcode emulation (wasn´t setting the C and H flags properly),
- Implemented the gameboy type checking via the FF00h joypad register,
- Added the possibility to disable the graphic "Window" used in many games (by default under the F3 key),
- Fixed a bug in IRQ generated by the coincidence register
was generating several IRQs in one scanline (now it generates only one IRQ for a matching scanline)
- this made the intro of Prince of Persia working."

GiiBiiAdvance v0.1.0

"This is what I’ve been working on since last summer, and I think it is a quite good program right now. It is just another GBA emulator, just like VisualBoyAdvance, and it emulates the same: GB, GBC, SGB and GBA.

I’ve used the GB, GBC and SGB emulation code from GiiBii, so GiiBiiAdvance has the same compatibility (a bit more, i’ve changed a bit of SGB emulation code). GBA emulation is, on the other hand, not really high. I mean, lots of roms work, but some of them just show a black screen, or hang when you try to start the game from the menu… Everything of GBA is emulated (except the serial port), but there are bugs I can’t find, I’ll work on it until I get a better compatibility. Of course, it emulates all save chips, but some saves aren’t compatible with other emulators. It will try to guess the save type if it can’t detect it from the rom. It lets you take screenshots, and GBprinter output is saved as a png image. GBcamera is not emulated yet, though, so if you want to play with that rom, use GiiBii.

There is also a quite good debugger, with a dissasembler, memory viewer, I/O ports viewer, tile viewer, map viewer, palette viewer and sprite viewer. They are different in GBx and GBA mode. If you are playing a SGB game, there is also a SGB things viewer. I have to make it easy to dump/save things, right now it only lets you watch. So… here are some screens:"
