15:20 - Archaic Ruins R.I.P. - Jandar
After months of stagnation, it appears that Archaic Ruins, an aged and, at one time, marvelous emulation site has finally vanished. As of yesterday, the main page of the site was replaced with "R.I.P." and it appears the site is returning no more =(
Most likely havn't and wouldn't notice, as the site has been inactive for quite some time, but the site can be a significant memorial to emulation, a source of emulation that predated most other sites (including this one) by several years...
Archaic Ruins...R.I.P.

14:57 - SNEeSe Release - Jandar
Version 0.625 of SNEeSe, an SNES emulator for DOS, has been released, along with its source code. The latest version is currently available from our SNES emulators archive. Here's what's new in this version:

• Sound: Removed some debugging code that was breaking Secret of Evermore
• Sound: Altered some of the envelope update timings
• Render: Fixed a mode 7 off-by-one-line bug

19:41 - Another bloody update! - SirYoink
Dodgy Translations has released version .13 of their translation of the NES game Bloody Warriors. Bloody Warriors is a Dragon-Warrior-clone style NES RPG. This news stolen from Wraith's House of Chicken and Waffles

19:25 - Mac version of Generator updated? Really? - SirYoink
As was foretold some 8 hours ago by the great phrophet Jandarius, the Mac version of Generator has been updated to version .34, in sync with other versions of the emulator.

11:48 - Generator Ports - Jandar
Version 0.34 of Generator, a Genesis emulator for several systems was released recently, and in the process of updating this emulator I realized that our archive lacked several other ports of the emulator. Now we have the following ports up and included in the archive:

• MS-DOS
• Windows
• Amiga
• MacOS
• Linux

11:19 - Meka Release - Jandar
Version 0.60 of Meka, a GG/SMS emulator for DOS, has been released to the public, and is now available from our GG/SMS Emulators section. Here's what's new in this version:

• Improving timing in Z80 core.
• Fixed voices that weren't ok (Alex Kidd: the Lost Stars..). Voices in many many games were tested, finally marked them as 'Ok' in the compatibility list.
• Due to timing improvments, now Space Harrier [50 Hz version] has correct glitches (like on a real system) when running in NTSC mode. It is now configured to automatically use PAL/SECAM by default.
• Removed the need of specific IPeriod setting for some Codemasters games, meaning that they will now run even if you delete MEKA.NAM.
• Added sample accurate VGM logging, allowing to log voices. The option was previously grayed, it is activated now that all voices are Ok.
• Updated to VGM version 1.01, to include original TV type information (NTSC or PAL/SECAM) in the file, allowing to play at a different rate.
• Fixed minor sprite masking bug affecting scrolling games in certain conditions. Evander Holyfield Boxing (Game Gear) was affected.
• Added support for Coleco Vision header/footer in order to load the newly released "Pac Man" and "Dig Dug" ROMs from CGE 2001.
• Fixed a minor bug when loading an in-game savestate from the BIOS.
• Fixed file loader sorting so that if present, ".." is always on top.
• Added/fixed entrys to the checksum and compatibility lists.
• Added two Sonic themes by H Hog. (uncomment to use in GUI)

13:41 - Emu Archive Bug - Jandar
For at least several days now the MS-DOS emulator archive returned an error message saying that it was unable to open a specific temporary file. I still don't know where that came from..but I fixed it by moving the MySQL databases from /var/db to /usr/mysql, which makes sense anyway, considering the archive is getting rather large and I didn't make /var overly spacious. I'm just going to accept the fact that it's fixed..

1:50 - Spanish translations - Bokudono
A little late, but now we have the (seemingly) final version of Breath of Fire for SNES, by Vegetal Translations.
There are also 2 small patches by Ereza Translations: Tennis and Mia Hamann's Soccer, both for GB.

22:17 - Xmame Release - Jandar
This news actually dates back to the 4th of October, but at that point we were semi-dead, so I'm posted it now. Xmame, version 0.55.2, has been released, and can currently be downloaded from the Xmame homepage. Here's what's new in this version:

• Added special-cased fast 2x1 and 3x1 scaling to the blit core. (Adam Moss)
• Added several AdvanceMAME effects, available via -effect/-ef. Note that these effects are not available for some video drivers, nor do they work on actual 24-bit (packed) displays yet. (Ben Saylor)
• Added mame-listmissing to contrib/tools. (David Griffith)
• Fixed compilation errors reported in snprintf.c on some platforms, e.g. HP-UX 10.20 with GCC 3.0. (Stefan Becker)

1:59 - AGTP Happiness - Jandar
I've gone through the English translations archive and verified that all of our complete translation patches from AGTP are up to date. The latest is a complete translation of Cu-On-Pa, a weird little puzzle game involving a colored cube... Thanks to Gideon Zhi for posting to our message board about it, despite the site being rather dead at the time =). You can download this, as well as all of AGTP's other translation patches, from our English translations archive.
