HalfNES v0.041
"-Added experimental NTSC graphics filter. Wriiten from scratch, not a port of
Blargg's NTSC code. This looks quite a bit more like a real old terrible 80's TV.
Unfortunately, it's still very slow.
-Fixed Punch-Out, which was broken since version 0.039"

"This release adds preliminary Game Boy Color emulation. Due to lack of technical information, this is undoubtedly the least stable module I provide at this time; but improvements should continue as it is developed.
This release also polishes the NES emulation and user interface code.

Surreal 64 CE B5.52u
"Surreal64 CE B5.52u
-unofficial patch
___
About:
This is package is an unofficial patch containing some experimental work that took place after B5.5's release.
___
Changes/Additions:
-Trigonometric analog sensitivity. 2 new analog sensitivity settings exist. "Increasing" uses a tangent wave to make the analog stick more responsive as it moves away from its center position. This could compensate for the stiffness of the XBox's control stick and make it "feel" better. "Decreasing" uses a sine wave to gradually decrease sensitivity as the control stick approaches the outer edge.
-Rice 6.12 Software Vertex Clipper. This fix utilizes the Software Vertex Clipper used in Rice Video 5.60. Several games no longer crash and newer ucodes can be utilized. Diddy Kong Racing, F-Zero X and Perfect Dark are among the most notably fixed games. Keep in mind this uses software and will result in a CPU hit.
___
Installation:
Simply overwrite your .xbe's with those bundled in this package."

PCSX2 SVN r4961
"r4957
Game patch: Dead or Alive 2 (J) [SLPS-25002) playable with the R5900 recompiler. Does not make other versions playable, there seems to be a separate issue with them.
A proper fix for this is not happening nor is it even desirable because of the performance impact it would have, the game seems to unintentionally rely on the RPC arguments remaining in cache until sceSifCallRpc. A slightly better patch is possible, this one eats some extra EE cycles and might theoretically make the game emulate at less than full
r4968
Added CRCs to the DoA2 patches because pirate game copies are often based on DoA2. If your game identifies as DoA2 and it isn't, you're going to hell.
r4959
Forum user ateste was so kind and found/fixed a savestate issue with Lilypad :)
The problem would cause lost controls or "Controller disconnected" messages in a few games.
This fix is temporary and only works with Lilypad, until we take care of the core issue.
r4960
microVU:
- Rewrote and simplified the TriAce gamefix
VU interpreter:
- Implemented a TriAce gamefix for vu0 interpreter
r4961
Ateste worked on the Time Crisis fix some more and figured out the (hopefully) right flags in the (hopefully) right places.
Thanks for helping out! :)"

Fake86 v0.11.01.26 Test
"Hey all, I've been a lurker on this site for a while but I decided to register and share my emu project Fake86. Some of you guys may have heard of it somewhere before. It's not exactly new, I've been working on it for almost a year. I am really looking forward to talking with other emu devs here, though. It's hard to find people that really understand how this stuff works for the most part.
It's a cross-platform x86 PC emulator I've been writing in C. It's the first emulator I've written that is 100% my own code. I wrote a NES emulator before, but used somebody else's 6502 core and built around it. Writing an x86 core on my own has been a GREAT learning experience! I can't think of any type of programming that's more interesting than computer emulation, fascinating stuff on the technical level.
At this point, Fake86 only supports real-mode and 8086/80186 instructions, but 386 and protected mode is on the way. I've begun re-writing the core with protected mode in mind, but it will be a few months until it's ready I'm sure. Anyway, here's an overview of where it stands:
-100% of the 8086/80186 instruction set emulated
-i8259 interrupt controller emulated
-Hercules/CGA/MCGA/VGA video adapter emulation (I don't have EGA or VGA planar modes like 640x480@4-bit working, I've been having problems with this.)
-Floppy and hard disk images support at the int 13h BIOS level, I would like to eventually implement true I/O register-level emulation of the controllers
-Adlib FM music card emulated (it needs work, but it's pretty acceptable... I haven't figured out the percussion stuff yet though)
-Disney Sound Source sound adapter emulated (this works great with Wolfenstein 3D)
-Windows version supports using WinPCap to emulate a network adapter, but it's a custom implementation that requires the use of a special DOS packet driver I made... Later I really want to emulate something like an NE2000 instead.
Also, a few VGA programs/games can show some graphical glitches but most stuff seems fine. I am going to rewrite the whole VGA/EGA emu code and try to get it all right.
It's capable of running just about anything that doesn't require EGA video, including Windows 3.0. So, I thought I would provide a download if anybody would like to try it out and offer advice/criticism/comments. I will also happily share the source code, but give me a few hours to clean it up a bit first.
That has the current compiled Win32 version, and a 20 MB test hard drive image with MS-DOS 6.22, shareware Wolfenstein 3D, and Ultima VI. Extract it to somewhere and run this command line to boot from the image:
fake86.exe -hd0 test.raw
If anybody wants to get involved in the development, let me know. It's been all me so far. I am hoping this ends up becoming a really viable option for a PC emulator in the future. It's no QEMU, but I think it's a start! Plenty of work to do...
Here's a video to really demonstrate what it's like so far. This is booting MS-DOS 6.22 and playing a bit of Wolfenstein 3D and Ultima VI: The False Prophet."

Ootake v2.62
"- The maximum of the volume adjustment (PageUp,PageDown and
FunctionButton+UpDown) was changed to 120 from 100.
* Only the time of a play on Hu-Card game is effective for 101-120.
At playing CD-ROM game, 101-120 is the same volume as 100. (To stop
saturation of sound)
* When a check is put on the "File->Set Resume" menu, preservation and
restoration of volume setting can be done.
- Processing of ADPCM sound was improved. The sound quality improved. In the
visual scene of "Jantei Monogatari 2", the problem that sound was
difficult to catch improved.
- A volume balance of "wave memory sampling sound" was readjusted. I think
The quality of the voice (mainly Hu-Card game) was improved.
- A volume balance of the whole sound was readjusted. I think it approached
a real machine.
- With some PC environment, at full-screen of 640x480 (Direct 3D), the
problem that the screen upper part flickered was corrected.
* With some PC environment, when overscan territory is indicated at
640x480(Direct3D), there is a possibility which flickers. In that case,
choose the "Setting->Screen->DirectDraw(Old)" menu.
- The speed and timing were brought close to the movement of a real machine.
In the visual scene of "Jantei Monogatari 2", a problem that a screen was
in disorder was settled.
- Additionally, a detailed part has been improved and corrected.
+ The execution file for "Windows 98/Me" was opened to the public. The
operation test is not done. Please see "Readme98.txt" in the ZIP file
about details and notes, etc.

*Optimised everything."
