Jeux-France reports that SE is up for another project called the "Ivalice Alliance." Which contains the following games;

- Final Fantasy Tactics: The Lion War for Sony PSP

- Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings for Nintendo DS

- Final Fantasy Tactics A(dvance) 2: The Sealed Black Book for a Nintendo Handheld.

The Lion War will be a port of the 1997's Final Fantasy Tactics from the PSX. Nothing is known for sure, but small graphical updates and new/updated CG scenes are expected.

FFXII Reveant Wings is a spin-off that takes place after the events of XII. Following a now 18-year-old Vaan and Penelo, now sky pirates, travel around on adventures. Certain characters from XII will also make a reappearence.

No word on what Tactic A2 will be like. But expect the black book from the previous Tactics Advance game to return as it seems to be the central point of the story and expected to be either on the GBA or DS.

No word on release dates for any of these games.

In other random news, SE is also working on 2 untitled Xbox 360 projects.

Mame Front End for Unix

As the attention for QMC2 along with the amount of work for the project is steadily increasing, we think it's time for a new site layout. The old look was a bit too dry and boring... we hope you enjoy the new appearence!

 

Today we also release QMC2 0.1.b7 (), which contains major improvements to allow for system-wide configuration and installation. This should make maintainers for binary packages happy. You still don't have to install QMC2 in order to run it, but it's recommended.

 

This version is required to cleanly support SDLMAME 0.111+, which changed the way it reports missing ROMs!

 

IMPORTANT: the old place for the configuration file (which was $HOME/.config/qmc2.ini) will NO LONGER be used! Its new place is $HOME/.qmc2/qmc2.ini. If you want to reuse your old configuration, you'll have to copy it manually! Otherwise it will be created automatically with a minimal startup configuration.
