Here are the news for today.
Emu Loader v6.3
"Fixed
- Average FPS was not being shown after exiting a MAME game, if "Show Error Messages" was also checked (main menu "View" / "Command Line")
- Paiting bug when selecting items on large icons view mode
Changed
Changes in "MAMu_ Icons Manager" feature:
- The -listxml output file is no longer deleted after creating a MAME games list. It is now a fixed file: "elfolder\arcade\mame_listxml.xml"
- It will only be updated if a new MAME build is used. It takes way too long for this file to be created
- Avoid deleting this file manually...
XP themes must be enabled from now on, so EL can work properly. Windows 7 needs aero interface. Otherwise, the UI will be all messed up
- New screens for Delete/Rename image files
Improved
- New rename/delete images dialog
Removed
- No more true color icons (24-bits) support. EL was built for XP icons from day one (32-bits, alpha blend)
MAMu_ icons still supports 8 bits (256-colors), 24 bits (true-color) and 32 bits (XP-icons) and that will never change
- Support for Win9x / WinMe is gone
- Setting "Force Quotes (XP/Win7)" (main menu "View" / "Command Line"). It has been disabled for many builds
- Setting "Disable Icon Stretch (48x48)". Not needed anymore (MAMu_ icons)
- File "EmuLoader.exe.manifest" is not needed anymore. Themes is always enabled from now on and there's no way to turn them off
Added
- Support for the new control tags format in -listxml output (MAME 0.144 and newer). Games with dual joysticks are displayed correctly at "Game Details" screen. File "ini_files\control_type.ini" updated (MAME Plus! also supported)
Old MAME builds are still supported (minimum 0.84)
- Support 48x48 icons for MAMu_ icons (alpha blend-32 bits, true color-24 bits and 256 colors 8-bits)
Only when using tiles view mode or standard/grouped views with "extra large icons" settings enabled"

Virtual Gameboy Advance v3.6.11 for Android
"- Added new portrait mode virtual joystick.

Micro64 v1.00.2011.12.15 Build 652
"- micro64 ide/debugger now temporary removed until a rewrite in the next year 2012
- Implemented a second very exact floppy emulation logic with 16 MHz clockrate with all relevant internal clock counters from a real 1541, extra for FDI and P64 disk images, so the primary old but stable and faster floppy emulation is still used for D64, X64, G64 and NIB. images.
- Added support for FDI (read&write), P64 (read&write) and NIB (readonly) disk images
- NIB support is only temporary and highly experimental, so it can be remove at any time again, because the NIB file format can change from NIBtools release to NIBtools release!
- Added "+g642p64 in.g64 out.p64", "+p642g64 in.p64 out.g64", "+g642d64 in.g64 out.d64", "+d642g64 in.d64 out.g64", "+nib2g64 in.nib out.g64", "+fdi2p64 in.fdi out.p64" and "+p642fdi in.p64 out.fdi" command line parameters."

Source Changes
--------------
Rewrote IOX key matrix device implementation, used by Super Real
Mahjong Part 2/3 [Angelo Salese]
Removed ROM patches and added working player 2 inputs in Super Real
Mahjong Part 3 [Angelo Salese]
Fix compiling on GCC 4.6 prerelease [Belegdol]
Added information screen output for any game known to have bad or
missing data in order to better inform the user as to the reason their
emulation may not work as expected. [Alex Jackson]
Removed ROM patch in Super Real Mahjong Part 2 [Angelo Salese]
Cleaned up iox implementation in Speed Attack [Angelo Salese]
Rewritten Speed Attack video routines from scratch, also fixed screen
flipping in it [Angelo Salese]
Define new macro ALLOW_SAVE_TYPE which can be used to declare enums as
valid save types on a case-by-case basis. Updated the cosmac CPU core
to do this for its mode and state enums, which were previously failing.
[Aaron Giles]
Added a new sound device: Oki MSM9810: [Andrew Gardner]
* Added and hooked up volume table.
* Added preliminary ADPCM2 support.
* Added sub-table lookups.
* Added OPT command.
* Implemented on-chip interpolation & status read.
* Implemented PAN command and stereo mixing.
destroyr.c driver minor improvements [hap]:

on results of simulating the circuit from the patent. [Lord Nightmare]
mame_file is now emu_file and is a class. It is required to pass a
core_options object to the constructor, along with a search path. This
required pushing either a running_machine or a core_options through
some code that wasn't previously ready to handle it. emu_files can be
reused over multiple open/close sessions, and a lot of core code
cleaned up nicely as things were converted to them. [Aaron Giles]
Created a file_enumerator class for iterating over files in a
searchpath. This replaces the old mame_openpath functions. [Aaron Giles]
Changed machine->options() to return a reference. [Aaron Giles]
Removed public nvram_open() and fixed jchan/kaneko16 to stop directly
saving NVRAM. [Aaron Giles]

validate things. [Aaron Giles]

from parent device tag. [Miodrag Milanovic]
OKI MSM9810 : Added preliminary ADPCM2 support.
[Andrew Gardner, Lord Nightmare]
PSX: add DMA mode used for CD transfers on home system, fix DMA bug
that caused home system to freeze. [pSXAuthor, Harmony, R. Belmont]
Hash generation and general cleanup. New class hash_collection holds
and manages a collection of hashes, and can be built from an internal
format string which is stored with each ROM. Also compacted the form
of the hash strings used for ROMs, and fixed verification/hashing of
non-ZIPped files. [Aaron Giles]
snes_snd.c: fixed save state error [Fabio Priuli]
circus.c: Improved interrupt handling: circus generates them the same
way as ripcord (based on sprite-bg collision), robotbwl doesn't
generate interrupts at all. [hap]
Updated DIPS and Dip Locations based on documents posted by Laschek at
KLOV. [Tafoid]
SDL: GLSL now works for all pixel formats; fixed memory leak on
textures [cgwg]
Eliminate statics/globals in drivers jpm/kaneko/maygay/meadows/merit/

drivers (ms32crpt.[ch] opwolf.c rainbow.c)

Fix disassembler override hook [Aaron Giles]
Fix reads for 32-bit handlers on 64-bit CPUs too. [R. Belmont]

MoarNES 0.11.12.12 Alpha
"as if the world needs another NES emu, this is the current version of my new attempt at a NES emulator. it's still very much an alpha-quality program, but i thought i would upload it because i really wanted to get some opinions/suggestions/comments on it as-is.
features:
-load/save state from/to files
-quick-save slots (four of them F1 through F4 saves, F5 through F8 loads)
-authentic game genie support (GG ROM is included)
-supports mappers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 9, 10, 11, and 13 (i think this covers most of the common ones)
there are a good number of problems/bugs in it still, some of the known ones:
-APU sweeps do not work (i wasn't able to get it to sound right)
-mike tyson's punch out background color is incorrect for some reason. menu and versus screens show some graphical glitching (but the actual fights look fine)
-mapper 4 IRQ stuff doesn't work quite right, but lots of the games still play
-audio output is sometimes a little jittery. it's not the APU code, it's an output buffering problem. it's not that bad.
-was having problems with sprite 0 hit intermittently not working, so there's a cheap band-aid hack for now that always flips the sprite 0 hit flag on the last scanline of the sprite without checking if it collides with a background pixel.
-when you load a saved state from file, usually the audio sounds strange but it does fix itself within a few seconds."
