While i personally wait for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories to hit the shelves, i’ve added 26 games to the Sports category and also a Donkey Kong Jr. LCD Game and Watch simulator game (for those who remember these from Nintendo in the early 80s) to the classics area to the VGN Arcade! Be sure to check them out.

A word of warning to those of you with modded XBOX 360 consoles. According to this XboxIC article, has been banning those people with “modded” consoles. A post on the Xbox.com forum from Furydog states that following:
SSF is a Sega Saturn emulator (in Japanese) for Windows. A rough Google translation of what’s new is as follows:
The processing of SCSP was corrected. Becoming the black matrix, and the way where opinion needless sound is played back securely it increases. It reaching the point where cancer/gun blaze S moves, it increases. With [bachiyahuaita] 2 and the like CDDA breaks off the trouble where was corrected. Abnormally the fact that it ends was corrected with state saving depending upon the video driver. The fact that state saving is not possible with the game of part was corrected.

Apparantly, according to this post, someone how leaked a beta of the this N64 emulator for Windows (pry the best there is as well). While this isn’t very cool obviously, Jabo, one of the developers (and a cool guy i know personally) knows stuff like this happens, and unlike certain other emulator developers, isn’t throwing a tantrum, isn’t threatening to cancel the project, etc. Read more at the post link above.
TG16/PC Engine emulator for Windows with these changes:
2006/10/27 0.77 released
- Processing related to interrupt was modeled on a real machine more.
(The disorder of the manufacturer logo display of “Spriggan Mark2″ was
corrected. The problem in which the disorder of one frame existed on the
screen immediately after the start of “Chou Aniki” was corrected. I think
the operation timing of other software has approached a real machine,
too.)
- The tone quality and the volume of “PSG noise sound” were modeled on a
real machine.

M.A.S.H. updated his MAMEinfo date file to the latest core release with these changes:
The Windows with GUI built in version of MAME has also been updated to the latest core version, download at our MAME emulation page.
Aaron Giles brings you another source diff to MAME with these changes:
According to the official WinUAE site, look for a new WinUAE release (the best Amiga emulator for Windows) to appear sometime in November. Some of the changes will include:
All i can say is wow. I’m sure many of you know of and quite possibly purchased consoles, console accessories, mods, or whatever from the popular Lik Sang site out of Hong Kong. According to this press release – Lik-Sang.com, the popular gaming retailer from Hong Kong, has today announced that it is forced to close down due to multiple legal actions brought against it by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Limited and Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. Sony claimed that Lik-Sang infringed its trade marks, copyright and registered design rights by selling Sony PSP consoles from Asia to European customers, and have recently obtained a judgment in the High Court of London (England) rendering Lik-Sang’s sales of PSP consoles unlawful.
Uh, selling PSPs is unlawful? Unless this is a good hoax job (and at the time of this posting the Lik Sang site is still up). this brings flashbacks of whole PSX bios flashback to me. Read the entire press release over at GamersReports.com
w00t, most people’s favorite browser, Firefox has been released to 2.0 with shitloads of changes. Besure also to get that Google Toolbar for it (its not lame spyware, adware, malware, etc), I use it with mine!
Crystals of Xaz is a Fenix for Dreamcast game that I’ve been developing for about a month now. The goal is to fly to various planets, and capture crystals to fuel your home planet while avoiding falling enemies and other dangers. There are powerups and other bonuses that are available to help you on your quest. The game is about 40% done at this stage. Here is an early screenshot with placeholder graphics:
Once the game is finished, I’ll be releasing it as freeware for the Dreamcast (as a selfbootable disc image) and the source code so that others may learn from my experiences.
For those who don’t know about Fenix, it’s a scripting language developed specifically for games, that runs a bytecode file in a “sandbox” similar to how Java works. Fenix has been ported to the Gamepark handhelds, Dreamcast, PC, Mac, Linux, and other platforms. For more information about Fenix, visit http://fenix.divsite.net , or for the Dreamcast specifically, visit http://atari.vg-network.com.
Just a quick sneeky release to add support for the SuperCard SD (and possibly other SD based devices)

For those of you who have been visiting this site since the early days, you pry know I love Amiga and had one from 1987-1994, so of course you know i love seeing Amiga emulators for my PSP handheld (as i’m sure several others do to). This update to PSPUAE has the following changes:
V0.60
– new autoframeskip logic with fps limiting for both PAL and NTSC
– real 4 channel stereo
– Added new Menu User Interface (Menu Graphics by The Chaos Engine (from our forums))
– Immediate Blits (Helps with compatability)
– Blitter Cycle Exact (Helps with compatability)
– High Density…
Both Roberto Fresca and Ville Linde posted info on their development for MAME:
Fresca:
Cuore 1 colors…
I recreated the Cuore 1 colors thanks to some screenshots that mame italia guys kindly sent some time ago. It seems to be a 5th color in the Joker, that means GFX are at least 3bpp instead of two. I need to verify more closely. For now is close to the original game.

You guessed it, another update to this TG16/PC Engine emulator for Windows, this time with these changes:
