PCSX2 SVN r877 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：
r870
LilyPad: Fixed a bug in list of bindings when go to config screen after running Pcsx2 for a bit, and some devices enabled on the config screen were not enabled in game (Either due to focus issues, or, more probably, due to mouse API not being disabled, but not running with mouse focus).Also bug fix for cursor clipping rectangle not being reset after window resize.
r871
I don't think we really need someone's random Thumbs.db file on the SVN.
r872
Increased the MTGS ringbuffer from 2 to 8mb. Fixes slowness in games with lots
of data moving.
(Xenosaga series for example)
r873
GSdx: updated the delay loaded directx dlls to match the latest sdk
r874
A few tweaks to more often called functions = general speedup :)
r875
wxGui Branch: Added some console logging code (not yet finished). Can't really
use wxWidgets built in version because it's not extensible (grr).
r876
wxGui branch: Merged with trunk (2 weeks of changes!)
r877
Shortcut for intc_stat reads. Speeds up games that use it a lot.

Cxbx 0.8.1 Test Build is released.Cxbx is an Xbox emulator for the Microsoft Windows operating system developed by a group of programmers led by a hacker named Caustik and written in the C++ programming language. Cxbx's goal is to convert a game from an Xbox executable to a native Windows executable.

The developer said:
Okay, it's Sunday afternoon (at least here it is) and I've got the rest of the evening to do whatever I feel like today, so I'm doing a little work on Cxbx today. Now, I want you all to do me a favour... the latest build of Cxbx from my branch is attached below, and yes it does play Smashing Drive! There's also a mini game attached below (remember the old DirectDraw game Donuts from the old DirectX SDKs anyone?), so you can test it with that if you have no compatible games. What I want you all to do is test it for speed! You can test it for compatability if you want, but right now I'm more worried about speed issues.

Why am I worried about speed, you might ask? Let me explain... lately I've noticed that every Cxbx dev has been getting faster results than I am with their branches. For instance, Caustik's last release ran Turok at over 85 fps on my machine, my build only gives me a fraction of that speed. The same goes for other games and XDK samples, even the mini game attached below has speed problems when there are only a few sprites on the screen. I'm positive that Smashing Drive can run at full speed (or at least 30 fps) and that's my current goal for today. I don't know it it's just my machine(s) or my builds. Today, I just want to find out once and for all. So if you have Turok or Smashing Drive, I encourage you to try this build and let me know what speeds you get.

Last minute notes: I disabled the debug output to the console to increase speeds a bit, so don't worry about KrnlDebug output. If running Smashing Drive and you get a white screen, don't worry about it; It's just an alpha blending bug and it will go away once you get in game. I'm sure this build has lots of bugs in it so don't freak out over random crashes (Smashing Drive shouldn't crash at all).

Glide3x (09.03.24) is released.glide3x.dll is a process belonging to the Glide for Voodoo Banshee program . glide3x.dll is module which supports 3DFX (Voodoo) graphics devices with the Glide 3D drivers.

Glide3x (09.03.24) changelog:
* Modified all LFB reading code to use PBOs. Needs a video card which supports OpenGL 2.1-3.0
* Modified the LFB writing code to use dirty rects for texture writing. (only writes the portions of the texture that have changed, a usual optimization technique when writing to 2D surfaces) Depth buffer code still uses glDrawPixels normally.
Tested with Beetle Adventure Racing, got consistent 60FPS with REFB on. Still, dunno if its placebo or not, due to I having a PCIE card.

Over time FCE Ultra had separated into many separate branches.The concept behind FCEUX is to merge elements from FCE Ultra, FCEU rerecording, FCEUXD, FCEUXDSP, and FCEU-mm into a single branch of FCEU. 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.

WinUAE (Public Beta) v1.6.0 Beta 20 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 20 changelog:
- added controller type to gameports panel, easier way to enable more complex standard controller configurations without need for input panel (analog joystick, lightpen, joystick mouse emulation..) Note that impossible configurations like emulating joystick with mouse aren't supported even if GUI seems to allow it, also non-mouse lightpen isn't really supported, it works but moves badly (not worth the trouble really, maybe)
- added "CDTV Mouse" which is CDTV remote controller mouse emulation, only difference between normal and CDTV mouse is speed setting, normal mouse speed is adjustable in input-panel, CDTV mouse speed is not adjustable and is same as real CDTV mouse emulation (there are CDTV programs that expect CDTV remote controller -like mouse speed and they do not work very well with normal mouse) NOTE: speed not yet calibrated!
- added CD32 controller type to gameports GUI, enables CD32 controller emulation. Now it is possible to emulate normal joysticks in CD32 emulation mode (without using input panel)
- parallel port joystick adapter configuration added to gameports panel (GUI lists all devices but only joystick/keyboard supported)
- light pen cursor is centered when used for the first time
- added more compatible default analog joystick parameters
- digital joystick/buttons mapped to analog stick axis work correctly
- state restore rom detection fixed (b15), added logging
- support "0x402 An unknown error occurred" when deleting non-existing directory with recycle bin enabled
- drives 1 to 3 config load didn't work (b15)
- added possibly pointless command line image conversion option, "winuae -convert " where src can be any supported archive and/or disk image (even archive.lha\fileinsidearchive.dms should unpack to adf) Separate command line unpacker maybe in future..
