WinUAE v1.6.2 Beta 5 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 v1.6.2 Beta 5 changelog:
- interrupt delay rewritten and corrected, fixes Gleat Stuff #01/BRB
- blitter/CPU timing tweak, fixes 1010 bobs/Celtic
- disable sound if sound driver buffer position gets stuck (driver bug)
- final partition read/write fix..
- try to emulate reading of non-existing/write-only custom registers more accurately
- Brian the Lion "dialog screen" seems to be something AGA specific after all.. 1 extra cycle needed after write to BPLCON0 before BPL cycle diagram changes (or at least in Brian the Lion's situation..) so add one cycle in AGA and hope it isn't totally incorrect fix..

ClrMamePro v3.130 is released.ClrMamePro is a so-called ROM-manager. With every new release of MAME a lot has been changed. New gamesets have been added, some have been removed, etc.
ClrMamePro v3.130 changelog:
- added:
1st part of the upcoming new toy "Rename Wizard".
You may know about the major set renames in latest MAME, well the Rename Wizard should help you in the future to update e.g. related datfiles (like artwork datfiles, etc...). The basic idea is: Load an old datfile and a new datfile. Find set renames. Apply the renames to a third datfile (e.g. artwork) either to rom or set level and save this dat. So the 1st step is to find set renames.
Logiqx's MAMEDIFF is usually used for such a thing but MAMEDIFF isn't as accurate as you might think. So Logiqx and myself though about other ways to find renames. The current idea is a 6-path check (from highest to lowest prio).
1) unique set hash compare: Hash is created over all rom/disk hashes and in case of nodumps or samples over names. Hash lookup tries to find a matching set.
2) single unique rom hash compare: Take a single unique rom hash of old datfile set and check if it's a single unique hash in new datfile. Use this to find a matching set
3) single unique chd hash compare: similar to 2) but on chds
4) fuzzy name check: similar to cmpro's scanner set name check. Tries to find the 'best fit' name
5) lazy description compare: try to match the descriptions
6) lazy set compare: try to match the setname
Currently a complete set list is produced showing something like:
old name -> new name [succeeded matching method] or *old name -> new name [succeeded matching method] or old name -> ? (when no match was found....propably a removed set) The * indicates a name change.
This part is already in...you can play around with it if you like.
The next steps will be:
- optionally disallow parent-to-clone renames (since a lot of dats work on parent sets only)
- load and apply changes on 3rd datfile
The Rename Wizard is not directly visible at the moment...but still easy to find. Check out popup menus if you want to know more ABOUT it.
- added: warning when 'Sets' scan option is not enabled
- added: dir2dat option to create a 0 byte file for empty folders
- misc: show common rebuilder warnings only once and not per addpath
- misc: improved fuzzy set name check
- fixed: xml dats with UTF ByteOrderMark aren't listed in profiler
- fixed: when using header support, rom size values are wrong
- fixed: offline datfiles 0 crc/ 0 size issue

PCSX2 SVN r1610 is released.PCSX2 is a PlayStation 2 (PS2) emulator for the Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems. With the most recent versions, many PS2 games are playable (although speed limitations have made play-to-completion tests for many games impractical), and several games are claimed to have full functionality.
PCSX2 SVN Changelog:
r1607
LilyPad: A number of small fixups.
DirectInput devices corresponding XInput devices should be listed as "[Detached]" when XInput is enabled. No idea if this works, as it requires an XBox 360 controller to fully test. FF Axes now sorted, rather than being displayed in the order MS returns them.Small motor DirectInput binding now correctly displays "Square" effect type in list when first created.
Attempt to more accurately model "soft" vs "hard" presses. Don't have a game where this matters, so no idea if it works.
r1608
Worked for a bit on parseCommandLine in Elfheader.cpp.
r1609
After thinking about it, I'm reverting one of the changes I made in r1608 for the moment, though I may rewrite the whole function in the future...
r1610
Here's a better bug fix for the issue that was bugging me in r1608.

Jpcsp SVN r1130 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:
r1130
Added discId to State class. Been sitting on this change for a while but now we have something legitimate that uses it (screenshot system), other dodgy uses include per-game hacks.

BlueMSX Wii v1.0RC is released.BlueMSX emulator ported to run on Wii. The BlueMSX-wii emulator can be started using the homebrew channel. For this purpose, the necessary files (main .dol file, icon.png and meta.xml) are released with this project. The best location for these files will be SD:/apps/bluemsx-wii/.
Except from the main .dol file, the BlueMSX-wii emulator needs some files on the SD-card. Most of the files are embedded in the .dol file and will be placed on your SD-card when the emulator is first run. These files will be placed in the directory SD:/MSX/.
Additional to these files, there needs to be a gamepack. As distributing the rom files gamepack is not 100% legal, these will not be supplied through the google code project.

Fceux SVN r1385 is released.FCEUX is a cross platform, NTSC and PAL Famicom/NES emulator that is an evolution of the original FCE Ultra emulator.

As the X implies, it is an all-encompassing FCEU emulator that gives the best of all worlds for the general player, the ROM-hacking community, and the Tool-Assisted Speedrun Community.
Fceux SVN changelog:
r1383
Win32 - fixed an erroneous assumption made in 2.1.1 that caused the recent roms menu to be grayed out even when there were recent roms (however, it uncovered an underlying bug in the recent menu saving that needs to be fixed at some point).
r1384
newppu savestates as well as a bit of jacking around for performance and other misc things I meant to do, but alas speedups wont be possible without obfuscating the code.
