PCSX2 SVN r1221 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:
r1214
Some work on variable type consistancy, and getting rid of 64 bit processor checks.
r1215
microVU:
- Fixed a bug with P-reg's instances; this fixes problems/SPS in a lot of games such as (FFXII, NaN3, Digimon Rumble Arena 2, etc...)
Note: All the games mentioned still have other problems (ffxii for example has missing geometry on characters, but looks a lot better than before :p).
r1216
microVU:
- Raised the run-cycles amount. This fixes FFXII's missing geometry (the game appears perfect now :p)
- mVU prints a message to console now if games are exiting early due to infinite loops (I'm interested in games that do this, so post any game you find that does this. Dark Cloud does this for example...)
- Added some debug stuff to iVU1micro.cpp.
r1217
R3000air: Implemented constant propagation, added sign extension tracking, some logging, and some ggeneral improvements to the block manager / validator.
r1218
Cleaned up the dummy MTGS gif transfer function a bit, and let the F5-F7 keys to be passed in GSkeyEvent (allows me to remove windows specific keyboard handling from the gs).
r1219
GSdx: now I think only the window classes of mfc are left to be replaced (main window, config dialog), trying to get familiar with wx...
r1220
microVU:
- Fixed the bugs with the logical min/max code (DaZ should work fine again)
- Optimized some lower instructions a bit.
r1221
Linux/microVU: Uninline a function that isn't inlinable according to gcc, so microVU is compilable on Linux.

Jpcsp SVN r1059 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.

Glitch64 SVN r20 is released.GlideHQ is a realtime texture enhancer library with hi-resolution texture pack support for Glide64.Glitch64 is the recommended Glide3x wrapper for Glide64, the Glide video plugin for N64 emulators. It currently supports S3TC texture compression, anisotropic filtering, widescreen resolutions and simulates almost all the Glide3x hardware capabilities used by the plugin, included texture buffer capability (needed for render to texture). It is coded using the OpenGL API and uses GLSL shaders.

Traditional and non-traditional techniques have been used to achieve speed and high image quality even on a 9 year old 3Dfx Voodoo2. Although the 3Dfx Glide3x texture format naming conventions are used, the library can be expanded for generic use. The library supports 6 enhancers and 6 image filters. FXT1 and S3TC texture compression are supported.

Glitch64 SVN changelog:
r17
3dfx headers are replaced by the version from glide3x driver sources, because original version does not compile on Unix.
r18
Used MSVC2008 to compile
Did preliminary work on cross platform VRAM detection.
Could do with testing (unable to test), but should be a start :)
r19
OpenGL headers are replaced by the Unix compatible versions.
r20
Fixed compilation errors on Unix.

Regen 0.96 Changelog:
* A little limitation of vcell scrolling emulated correctly. Thanks to Steve Snake for detailed info on this. (F1 World Champioship, Kawasaki Challenge use this)

* Many new YM2612 improvements and upates. Thanks to the new research and testing by Nemesis.
* Sprite masking bug in Mickey Mania fixed.
* Many improvements to renderer. Now passes all of the sprite masking and limitations tests.
* Cheats fixed.
* Palette select bit emulated. Sik's ROM fucks up correctly now :P .
* Completely overhauled Z80 handling and emulation. RAZE has been removed. It has been tested quite heavily alongside the real thing by Tiido and is very close to the real hardware now. But this has made emulator a bit slow as well. My thanks goes to Tiido for testing this. ;)
* Fixed lightgun support which got broken in 0.95
* Option added to remove flickering while in interlacing mode.
* Fixed AVI recording.
* Improved stability and crashes (hopefully).
* Option added to force the output image aspect to be 4:3 (which the real hardware does). In this mode, games with 256 pixels width will be scaled to 320.

PCSX2 SVN r1213 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:
r1205
Linux: Added a console log regarding page protection, based on a hunch I have for what's causing Issue 220. [need a linux person to check it and see if the console logs the new error or not]
r1206
Linux: Typo fix from prev commit. >_<
r1207
Linux: Take back out the logging message from 1204-1205, since Jake seems to be done with it. Remove the messages printed in Exception handing, and set up a test to abort if it's endlessly looping on one offset.
r1208
Did some general cleanups to vtlb's memory protection and recompiled block integrity checking systems.
r1209
microVU:
- Added partial program searching support (helps to recompile less in games that send a lot of small programs like Tekken 5)
- Optimized logical min/max code some more (knocked off 2 instructions)
- Fixed some cases where 'last_used' should have been set.
r1210
Linux: Fix the exeption check up a bit, and mess with the configure.ac file. It should now be possible to compile with versions of gcc lower then 4.3, though I haven't tested that.
r1211
microVU:
- Crashes when "microVU Error: Program went over its cache limit" message occurs should be fixed.
- Miscellaneous code changes and cleanups.
r1212
Half revert for earlier commit, didnt really make any difference to GT games anyway, just hoped itd effect path3 masking :P
Btw, if it doesnt work, Blame Krakatos, he said it does!
r1213
R3000air: Implemented fundamental block caching and invalidation [still not actually doing any recompiling] -- next up is the rec itself. :)
