EmuCR:DolphinDolphin SVN r3252 is released.Dolphin is the first Gamecube emulator able to run commercial games! Even at its early stage some games manage to load and run but not perfectly. Please remember that Dolphin is an experimental GameCube emulator so many games might not run and for the ones that do run you will need a strong PC.

Jpcsp SVN r1055

EmuCR:JPcspJpcsp SVN r1055 is released.JPCSP is a PlayStation Portable(PSP) emulator which is written in JAVA. JPCSP is the first PSP emulator that is written in JAVA. Most people think java is too slow. But Shadow and his team has proven us wrong. The newest Java versions are almost as fast as C which makes it very interesting for emu dev's. Shadow and his team are working day and night with pleasure on the emu, many coders have dedicated to the project. Because it's written in java many young devs find it interesting to learn how the emulator works.

JPcsp SVN changelog:
r1053
Implemented sceKernelDelaySysClockThread and sceKernelDelaySysClockThreadCB( Issue 80 )
r1054
Fixed compiler error "java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: UNK" ( Issue 118 )

Colinux v0.7.4

EmuCR: ColinuxColinux v0.7.4 is released.Cooperative Linux is the first working free and open source method for optimally running Linux on Microsoft Windows natively. More generally, Cooperative Linux (short-named coLinux) is a port of the Linux kernel that allows it to run cooperatively alongside another operating system on a single machine. For instance, it allows one to freely run Linux on Windows 2000/XP, without using a commercial PC virtualization software such as VMware, in a way which is much more optimal than using any general purpose PC virtualization software.

Colinux v0.7.4 Changelog:
Filesystem:
* New: cofs rename allows to overwrite files with ReadOnly attrib.
* New: cofs supports flat file modes "rwx" for owner. Mount option
"noattrib" disables these attribute mapping for older compatibility.
* Use "setcobd=async" to enable asynchronous mode for cobd devices.
* Bug #2013435: cobd supports read-only files now.
* Bug #2152550: cofs atime and mtime was swapped on time set.
* Bug #2176188: File sync wrong on cofs, command after mv/rename fails.

Network:
* pcap-bridge: Fix suspend problems. Reconnect after loosing adapter.
* New network "ndis-bridge" works in kernel mode and is the faster
alternative to pcap-bridge. (Ligong Liu)
* Bug #1396539: Fixing the "eth0: duplicate address detected!".
New filter rule for ndis-bridge and pcap-bridge is:
"(ether dst MAC) or (multicast and not ether src MAC)"
* Bug #2055697: Crashing SLiRP under heavy usage ktorrent. (Shai Vaingast)
* Bug #2357494,#2365031: ndis-bridge was not working with PPPoE, AoE
and others types as IP and ARP packets. Type filter removed now.

Console and daemons:
* New: Added "cocon=COLSxROWS" to use console size, other than 80x25.
* Bug #1117788: Fix sticky ALT after system menu from ALT-Space.
* Bug #2013501: Stop with error message on empty parameters.
* Bug #2593186: FLTK console command prompt display problems. (Shai Vaingast)
* Bugfix: Enclose spaces in current directory for install-service.

Kernel:
* scsi: New device for images with partition tables and works async.
Usage "scsi0=disk,file.img" or "scsi1=cdrom,file.iso" (Steve Shoecraft)
* Added virtual pci device handling. "lspci" is working (Steve Shoecraft)
* Add PG_co_host_mapped, save many OS switching times: speed up coLinux.
* New: /proc/colinux/stats show counts of OS switches.
* unionfs-2.2.4 added as module. (Marwan Al-Sabbagh)

WinUAE (Public Beta) v1.6.0 Beta 29

EmuCR:WinUAEWinUAE (Public Beta) v1.6.0 Beta 29 is released.Winuae is the commodore amiga emulator for Windows. WinUAE is a mostly complete software emulation of the hardware of the Commodore Amiga 500/1000/2000. A Commodore Amiga, for those who don’t know, is a 16/32 bit computer system based on the Motorola 680×0 CPU and a few specially designed custom chips that provide very good graphics and sound capabilities. Its first incarnation, the A1000, appeared in 1985, followed by the highly successful A500 and A2000 models. WinUAE is a port of the originally written for Unixish systems UAE; but over time, it seems the Windows port, WinUAE has become the best version available on any platform. WinUAE is free software: you are welcome to distribute copies of it and/or modify it, under certain conditions. There is no warranty of any kind for UAE. For more details concerning these issues, please read the GNU General Public License, which describes the terms under which WinUAE is distributed.

WinUAE (Public Beta) v1.6.0 Beta 29 changelog:
- Pang hack side-effects fixed
- autoscale/keep aspect ratio combination fixed
- NTSC hardware in PAL mode: shrink display (fit PAL display in NTSC space) Previously NTSC was always stretched but I think it is better to make "base" hardware PAL/NTSC mode non-scaled. Note that PAL/NTSC vertical streching/shrinking is only supported in filter modes
- screenshots never worked in windowed D3D modes
- screenshot size was wrong in full-window mode
- 100% stereo separation was only about 95% stereo separation
