R. Belmont, A MAMEdev, has recently updated his WIP Page

Speak and spell

 

Figured out the remaining problems with the emulated sound for NA-1 (and NA-2 once Charles and Guru trojan it’s BIOS). It now plays even better than the current simulation, modulo a few last-minute tweeks.

Emu#dreams reports that work on RPCemu, the RiscPC (A7000) emulator for Microsoft Windows, has progressed quite well. This emulator is done by the same programmer of Arculator, the freeware Acorn Archimedes emulator for Microsoft Windows. Below are the work-in-progress release notes.

- There were some issues in 26-bit -> 32-bit mode switching, and a couple of other things, XXXX XX X now works.

- IDE hard disc emulation is a bit buggy, but at least some stuff works.

- Also not pictured, I believe I've fixed the 'parameters not recognised' errors on the floppy emulation (interrupts happening inbetween reading of FDC status). I could be wrong though - the problem was so intermittent that it could just be chance that I've not run into it!

retroguru.com reports that SquidgeSNES, a new Super NES emulator for the GP2x, has been released. As of this version, the author considers it to be only a technical demo. Below are the release notes and reasons why.

Just in case your wondering what I've been up to 

 

http://www.squidgey.plus.com/squidgesnes.zip

 

Still very basic, but it runs some roms quite well, like Super mario world. To use it you need to unzip the contents to the root of your sd card, and the rom you want to use needs to be called "snes.smc" and be in the same directory. To exit the emulation press the 'start' button.

 

At the moment, it's in 100% C apart from the cpu core, which is in asm (taken from yoyo's little john palm). Once it's usable, I plan to implement more asm and speedups.

 

Note that this is classified as a 'techdemo' - it's not currently playable. The only button that will do anything is 'start', which exits the emulation.

 

Things still to do:

 

Change from my own sdk to Rlyeh's SDK

Implement controls

Implement sound

Improve compatibility

Scaling/centering of image

More speed

File selector

and lots more...
