   Wow....its been a long while.  I have some nice pieces of news for anyone who actually comes here.  First, I received 2 Neo Max kits today, I did a quick test of my keeper kit and it works quite well.  The space shoot'em up demo was quite good!  I am probably going to sell my other kit (no use for 2 of them).  I will post that up with a special announcement in about a week's time.  I abandoned my original DS_GBC project and started a new one 2 months ago.  I will post that project next week (or earlier if I have the chance!).

 

NEWS!  I got bored and finished up the linking/files.  Check out the SOURCE for the dsboy.  It is a new design of a gbc emulator based on gnuboy for the DS.  Like its predecessor it has no sound, but it has a good chunk of it written in assembly (and the rest of it could be as well).  I have again gotten bored of the emulator project and thought I'd put it up to let others take a stab at improving this new code.  Please note, this code is not as well tested as my previous emu, since a good chunk was not written by myself.  There are a lot of areas for improvement!

A mac emulator that runs on your PC.

November 22, 2005 version 2.7.1 officially released. (There is no change from the beta.) Mini vMac now has more advanced control of speed, superseding the previous 'limit speed' option. Other highlights are an experimental compile time option for sound in the Linux version (thanks to Stephan Kochen), and that the Windows version is up to 40 percent faster by simply using a better c compiler.

More details and the download are available HERE

Basilisk II is an Open Source 680×0 Macintosh emulator developed by Christian Bauer. That is, it enables you to run 68k MacOS software on your computer, even if you are using a different operating system. However, you still need a copy of MacOS and a Macintosh ROM image to use this program. Basilisk II is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).

Long time member and fighting game fan L.S.D has written a review for the Japanese PSP version of Guilty Gear XX #Reload. Check it out here.

Any gamers that love fighting games would have heard of or played the Guilty Gear series before. For those that have been living under a rock for the past few years, Guilty Gear is basically a fighting game ala Street Fighters or KOF, set in the distant future with diverse (or whacky) characters and interesting storylines.

 

This PSP version is a 100% port from the PS2 version (and it is the same as the PC version too). All secret characters, galleries, unlocked movies, missions and stories are the same. Saying this, some people might not want to purchase this game since they own the PS2 version but read on and judge by yourself.
