PCSX2 SVN r1121 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:
r1113
microVU: fixed some bugs in stall calculations.

WinUAE (Public Beta) v1.6.0 Beta 27 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 27 changelog:
- on screen led was always enabled (b26)
- scaling in NTSC mode really fixed (b26)
- enabling autoscaling and no filters enabled: select Direct3D if at least 2.0 shaders supported (=fast enough), only select Null filter if older. (D3D9 scaling is "free" on modern hardware)
- Logitech LCD SDK updated (currently waiting for G19..)
- autoscale found sprites outside of bitplanes when BRDSPRT was enabled without ECSENA
- vertical positioning in autoscale was wrong in some cases
- AHI works again
- always enable Picasso96 BIF_INDISPLAYCHAIN (not enabled means RTG mode display size of 0x0 pixels = crash)
- delayed printer open, do not open until enough data received, also ignore data completely if less than 10 bytes received
- added "ASCII Printer" option. Select this option if you use programs that print directly to emulated parallel port (bypassing Amiga printer drivers) and they expect old-style printers that directly accept ascii text (Action Replay, demo scene disk magazines etc..) In future this will also include emulation of old Epson matrix printer control codes (de-facto control codes that most printers supported at that time)
- added missing "Automatic" aspect ratio setting in Filter panel
- selecting "Full Window" mode when no filters enabled = also enable Direct3D + FS. (this is what users apparently expect, not confusing tiny image on the middle of screen)
- development PC updated to Windows 7 RC

Stella 2.7.7 is released.Stella is a multi-platform Atari 2600 VCS emulator.The Atari 2600 Video Computer System (VCS), introduced in 1977, was the most popular home video game system of the early 1980's. Now you can enjoy all of your favorite Atari 2600 games on your PC thanks to Stella!

Stella 2.7.7 changelog:
- Corrected emulation of CPU opcodes involving 'decimal' mode (ADC/RRA and SBC/ISB). Special thanks to SeaGtGruff and others on the Stella mailing list for in-depth discussion and creation of test ROMs.
- Fixed bug in F4SC bankswitching mode; writes to bankswitch addresses weren't triggering a bank switch.
- Changed internal sound frequency of Pitfall 2 from 15.75KHz to 20KHz, as this sounds much more authentic when compared to a real cartridge.

DSPSpy cleanups.
r3119
Tiny fixes
r3120
DSPSpy: Hide loop stack registers - they aren't relevant for most investigations.
Highlight differences on both sides.
Show the accelerator subregs in order.
Make it possible to include some code from Dolphin into DSPSpy, good for grabbing useful #defines. (had to change the GEKKO log to POWERPC).
r3121
Made DSPSpy build in VC++ (when having devKitPro)
r3122
Fixed DSPSpy compile
r3123
DSPSpy: Add a test for looped addressing when using address increments. Delete
unused old code.
r3124

r3125
DSPSpy. test decrements too. Damn they are weird.
r3126
DSP: I hereby name R08-R11 WR0-WR3, standing for Wrap control Registers 0-3.
Kill "CR".
Document decrements a little bit.
r3127
oops
r3128
DSPLLE:
Enable the SET40 sign extension stuff.
Try to separate the "core" from the "interpreter" logically, a little bit. It's still a bit of a fuzzy border.
r3129
DSPLLE: Wrapping behaviour for single increments/decrements of address registers implemented. It made little/no difference as far as I can tell :P

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:
r1100
R3000air: More work on a new IOP memory system, added re-written IopHwRead functions.
r1101
minor microVU changes
r1102
Some work on CDVD.cpp. Slight change to the branch statements in Interpreter.cpp. Restore a change to Pcsx2Defs.h that got reverted.
r1103
Bugfix for recent cleanups: SetResultSize was defined with different behaviors in two separate files, without being static. Depending on the whims of the wind,MSVC would sometimes pick the one from CDROM and link it into CDVD, overriding CDVD's version, and resulting in complete emulation failure.
r1104
R3000air: Updated branch to latest /trunk.
r1105
Begin work on renovating the Null plugins. (On the Linux side, anyways, though some of that will spill over to the Windows side.) Starting with FWnull.
r1106
Helps if I have FW.cpp in there. :(
r1107
That's USBnull down. (And yes, I'm aware the dialog boxes for USBnull & FWnull are incorrect. For now, I just told it to use the incorrect one that was already in the plugin.)
r1108
I don't even wan to know how these got deleted during the commit...
r1109
And there goes SPU2null. This one deserves a lot more work, though. A real gui and backporting all the changes I made to ZeroSPU2, for starters. (And again, Windows may or may not compile for it. Looking at the Visual C++ file, I'm pretty sure it already wasn't compiling.
r1110
And that's CDVDnull. Given how barebones this plugin is, it's closer to making a null plugin then cleaning it up...
r1111
And that's dev9, which was about as barebones as CDVDnull.
r1112
Lets get the null plugins working in Windows again...

Jpcsp SVN r1034 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.

r1030
Added Menu item "Dump ISO to iso-index.txt" under "Debug" (thanks to fiveofhearts for implementing the ISO dump function)
r1031
Better fix for Issue 99 : java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Required 393216 remaining bytes in buffer, only had 278528
