Charnego Translations was the first group to edit scripts. Here are La Lellenda de la Cerda DX (GB), Super Stress Faijter II (SNES), Calles Sesuales 2 (SoR 2, Genesis), Secret of Yonkie Island (PC) -maybe this one should not be added...-
And now available at the FTH are World of Illusion (Genesis) and Megaman X (SNES).
The patches can be found at the Spanish translations archive.

12:51 PM - Freeware romhs! - SirYoink
Added two new roms to the "Free roms" section. HüLSI is a Gameboy Color puzzle game, similar to Lolo for the NES. Scrolltest is just that, a Gameboy rom to test scrolling functions in an emulator.

Version 0.37 beta 3 of the huge multi-arcade emulator MAME has been released to the public, and can be found in the MAME section. Also, the source code is available. Thanks to Emusphere for the news. I believe this version adds support for an additional 27 unique games. In other news, I am going to be gone this weekend between tomorrow morning and some time late Sunday because I'm going white water rafting. I hate to cut out like this, especially since I havn't had as much time to dedicate to SGC lately as I would like to, but I'll be sure to come back ready to update, and I'm sure out other staffers will keep the place going while I'm gone *wink wink guys*.

4:37 PM - WinUAE Discontinued - Jandar
It appears that the Windows port of UAE, one of the only available Commodore Amiga emulators, has been discontinued. While UAE will continue to be developed, the WinUAE homepage explains that the Windows port will not be developed beyond the next coming version of 0.8.12, which will be released "when its ready."

11:20 PM - Playboy! - SirYoink
Settle down, it's not the magazine, I'm talking about the new Mac GB emu. PlayBoy d0.02 is amazingly fast, and has PPC and 68k versions available. It's rather fatal downside is that you have to rename your roms each time you load a different one, you can't customize controls, and it doesn't support Gameboy Color titles. Good mainly if you have a 68k Mac, but it's worth trying. It may improve, this is only an early first release.

10:39 PM - Another Zsnes Release - Jandar
Another minor update to Zsnes has come, and this quick fix can be found on the SNES emulators page. This is version 0.991, and here's what's new in it:

Because information regarding this emulator is _also_ in Japanese, I do not know what is new in this version, or really very much information about the emulator at all.

11:17 PM - Pasofami Release - Jandar
Version 1.3w of Pasofami, a Japanese NES emulator for Windows, has been released, and I added this latest version to our NES emulators section. It's a day or so late, but hey =).

12:11 PM - Pretendo Status - Jandar
The Pretendo homepage had the following update posted with regards to the progress of the emulator. Most significantly, perhaps, is that they have updated the plugin format a bit.

• Another update, Yay! Anyways, there are a few things to note. Firstly speed is coming a long nicely now, on my P2-400 i get about 200 FPS on average (as apposed to 130-150 before). Also I just found/fixed an error we had in the Shu-Kondo CPU plugin, IRQ/NMI timing should be better now. And lastly, I have updated the plugin formats a bit, the headers should now be ANSI C compatible, and I added a few things here and there. So if you are planning to develop for the next release, go ahead and download the newer header (OLDER plugins will no longer work). I think that is all for now.

The Hu-Go! homepage has been updated with some information on the progress of the emulator. Here is what they had to say:
I've resumed fundamental studies of the system card. It's based on Nyef's work and it's available in the technical page, fell free to add any comments. While it's very interesting to know more and more about the Bios and the hardware in general, it won't lead to productive stuff at short term so I'm not sure to release a new version new friday. We'll see...

-Okay, some good news and bad news about SD Gundam Knight Story. Sheex announced that Zackman has finished translating the game's whole script, but he won't begin insertion until after he finishes school. However, because of this, we can expect better translation quality. Good or bad news? Your call.

-An update posted on the CTC board by Dave showed progress on translating Fire Emblem 1's menus. He has also done spot translations uch as battle text. Check it out for yourself.

-Finally, Kammedo has begun a translation of Last Bible 3 for SNES. Last I checked though, he was having trouble with the graphics getting glitchy during battles. He'd appreciate any insight as to why that is happening. (Or it could just be a bad dump *shrugs*)

Now excuse me, I must go pay homage at the Shrine of Neil_ ^_^

Version 0.53 of Meka, which happens to be an 8-bit Sega emulator and a Colecovision emulator, has been released to registered users of the emulator. Most likely we will see this version released publically in the near future. Until then, information on this private release can be found upon the Meka homepage. Thanks to Emucamp for the news. Did you know that I didn't realize until right this minute that Meka emulated the Colecovision? Wow..that blows my mind.

2:41 AM - Life, it gets you every time. - Jandar
In case you haven't noticed lately, my updates have been few and far between, and usually at some insane hour like this one.. I've been insanely busy.
I'm not looking for sympathy from you though, believe me, we all have this crazy thing called life to deal with ^_^. Just be aware that I do what I can around here, and hopefully with the help of some truly helpful staffers such as Evanidus, SirYoink and Bokudono, we can continue to bring you everything we have been up to now, and even improve upon it all. Thank you for your continued support, even through our slowest times =).
Thank you for making this one of the most wonderful hobbies I have.
