PCSX2 SVN r1578 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:
r1576
Working on a brand new plugin interface, based on passing APIs via structure instead of individually binding each function (which is generally cumbersome and limited in a number of ways).
r1577
Cleaned up some loose ends I left behind in my initial rough draft of PluginCallbacks.h, and added some eol-style:native properties to /common/include files that lacked them.
r1578
microVU: Improved microProgram management/searching.
Instead of just having live/dead programs, we now have young/old/dead programs.

SSF v0.10 Beta type 2 is released.SSF is a Sega Saturn emulator for Windows systems using DirectX 9.0b. The current version claims near-complete implementation of the Sega Saturn hardware (not counting emulation bugs), and can emulate the Saturn based Sega Titan Video arcade hardware too. As with most emulators, CDs or disc images are not included and have to be owned separately. The BIOS is also not included; as of 0.07 Beta R3, games run without the BIOS however. The usage of BIOS files is optional but recommended for better compatibility, and needed for tasks such as management of the contents of the internal memory of the Sega Saturn, or setting the system clock.

SSF v0.10 Beta type 2 Changelog:
- Fixed application error on startup.

WinUAE v1.6.2 Beta 2 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 2 changelog:
After many days of logic analyzer work, blitter should finally be 100% cycle-exact, even in line mode.
DMA emulation cycle-exactness is greatly improved, most vector routines that had slowdowns, flickering or graphics garbage should work perfectly now (even Los Huivos/Virtual Dreams doubleglenz work, this has shown only major graphics garbage previously)
There are still some that won't still work or work even worse, these could be caused by CPU emulation timing errors (even single cycle difference in single instruction that is used regularly enough can make the difference)
"Standard test" programs still not working: Rampage/TEK, Hulkamania/TSP (and left border garbage in one part of Absolute Inebriation/VD, reason is known but I am not sure how to implement the fix)
- "DMA cycle debugger", v [] lists selected scanline's DMA activity, hpos, custom register, data, address. This made compatibility testing much easier. (just compare this data to logic analyzer data) Second row can contain extra characters: N = blitter cycle given for CPU, b = blitter interrupt, B = blitter finished. (not necessarily exactly same thing)
- chipset bitplane/copper/blitter cycle exact mode DMA sequence routines rewritten. Emulation may be slower due to some missing optimizations. Later.
- blitter cycle diagrams rechecked with logic analyzer, errors fixed
- CPU emulation fixes, lsl/asl/ror and friends had wrong cycle counts. bclr/bset/bchg are 2 cycles shorter if bit number is less than 16 (16-31 = add extra cycles) and more. Lots of testing to do..
- WASAPI sample format fallback didn't work correctly
- command line parser now really works exactly like Windows console
- added "win32.exec_before" and "win32.exec_after" configuration entries, "before" command is run when emulation starts, "after" when emulation shuts down or before another config is loaded. Multiple commands can be separated with ';'. Waits until command returns (=waits forever if program never exits..)
- interlace artifact removal works again (b1)
- automatically handle split dms files. If extracted data is only about half of standard DD disk and if file name is "*a.dms", attempts to open and merge "*b.dms" with already unpacked data
- do not enumerate openal recording devices

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:
r1570
microVU: more regAlloc work...
r1571
GSdx:
- Automatic texture filtering should be ok now, occasionally point filtering was used. Tested it on the ps2 and figured with no mip levels LoD and minification settings are just ignored altogether.
- Also run a few tests on the gather instruction with the reference rasterizer and found a fatal flaw with it. It returns the four samples for bilinear sampling (in a funny order, which isn't documented of course, x = bl, y = br, z = tr, w = tl), but there is no way to guess which four were selected exactly.
Due to some hidden rounding error it might grab different texels than I would when calculating the position of the upper-left texel, of which the fractional part is be used for the interpolation. When the texel positions do not match it leaves annoying discontinuity errors. Oh well...
r1572
wxgui: Improved threading model used by the log window, plus a few minor fixes to main window startup/shutdown code.
r1573
microVU:
- Finished implementing regAlloc. Sadly the speedgain wasn't great (0%~2% in the games I tried). I think the speedup should be bigger with a CPU that supports SSE4.1, but I don't have one to test :p
r1574
microVU: tweaking/testing some stuff...
r1575
microVU: fixed a bug in my clamping code from r1568. Fixes TOTA invisible characters when clamp-mode set to 'normal'
