renameSET.dat v0.143u7
renameSET.dat v0.143u7 is released. This project came about as a result of the continuous changes that mamedevs provide the names of the sets out whenever a new version of the executable. The reasons for these changes are manifold: correction of previous errors, addition of new games with similar names, etc.. By the time the project has expanded by collecting not only changes the name of the sets but also a kind of statistical data-base.
NEWS: Demul WIP (2011/10/09)
Wind just posted a screenshot of Alone In The Dark on the Dreamcast. Good to know that the project alive. Let us hope that the DirectX 11 renderer will enable the correct emulation of lighting (and shadow) in this great game ...

Jpcsp takes full advantage of dual-core processors, matching the PSP dual-core architecture. Even a quad-core can give a small performance improvement by leaving free CPU cores for the Java JIT Compiler and the graphics cache.
