AEP Emulation Page reports that eSCV, the Japanese open source EPOCH Super Cassette Vision emulator for Microsoft Windows, has been updated today. Below is a translation of the release notes and changes in this version.
Each mnemonic reconfirming of the CPU is done. The マッピー and the like those which do not operate until now, reached the point where the game picture comes out. When you look at the place where it freezes midway, it seems that still is problem.Around sprite function of puzzle is many still, is. Being kind of to be able divide sprite into left and right not only the top and bottom, it does, but condition does not understand still well.

Emu#dreams reports that Virtual Aquarius, the Radofin Electronics Aquarius Home Computer System emulator for Microsoft Windows, has been updated to version 0.72. Below are the changes in this version.
- Added ROM, cassette, and Quicktype images from several different sources.- Util/WAV->CAQ logger. It's enabled if ROM Hacks are enabled. With this selected, the emulator will write out a CAQ file for WAV data it attempts to read during a normal cload/cload* operation. Please note that cload truncates files when it reaches some number of nulls. Also, cload* truncates files when it reaches the end of the array it's loading. And, of course, the Aquarius tape format has no checksums or qualtiy-of-data checks, so it's entirely possible for framing errors to occur and you'd never know about it. Caveat Emptor. You might want to wait for someone to write a real WAV2CAQ utility.
- Slightly changed WAV file handling, which, I hope, makes it more like the real computer. The real computer won't change state unless the input level hits a certain point, which smoothes out noise. Also, previous versions of the emulator were reading the waveform inverted; that's been fixed.
- Fixed WAV loading to recognize WAVs written by programs that don't do the header right (which unfortunately includes most sound editors, but not the one I use so I didn't know about this problem).
- The power up beep now works reliably. The emulation is now delayed until well after the window appears on the screen, but you didn't need to know that.
- Full Screen mode can now access the menus. Right click on the full screen to toggle menus.
- ROM Hacks are enabled by default. ROM Hacks provide emulation trapping for faster I/O for cassette input, cassette output, and printer output. This feature is available only when using the built-in S2 ROM.
- Save RAM behavior changed; now the file is saved to the directory the program was run from.
- Save RAM behavior changed; now filters memory through the cartridge scrambler.
- Fixed a bug in which bringing up a dialog box would zero the AY sound registers.
- You can't turn off the border any more. On the plus side, you got Full Screen mode. On the minus side, you need a better computer to run Virtual Aquarius. But then, your computer is probably newer than mine anyway (mine is from, like, 1998), and mine runs it just fine.
- The sound buffers will attempt to resynch themselves when no sound has been playing for a while (a half-second or so). This is detected by the speaker clicker not being written to and by the three AY chip volumes being set to 0.
- The POV hat can be used as the control disk in a modern USB joypad.
- The Help/About box has my newer pictures on it.
- Util/Load Binary -- This is useful for assembly language program development.
- Util/Screenshot (F11)
- Util/Full Screen mode (F12 to toggle)
- Util/Paste -- this Quicktypes text that was on the text clipboard, i.e. Copy from Notepad and Paste onto Virtual Aquarius.
- Some file access routines are smarter about remembering which file you were using last. It takes getting used to, but it really is better than before. Really.
- The emulator should no longer crash when you have Configure/System Timing>Speed up when accessing files checked.
- Soft Reset is now F9 on the keyboard.
- Hard Reset is now Shift F9 on the keyboard.

I am publicly releasing a little project I call: olafds. Below is information on olafds (taken from the homepage I've created for it).
olafds is a nintendo ds emulator that does nothing more than emulate the nintendo ds's wifi capabilities. this program is used to communicate with other microsoft windows applications as though it were a nintendo ds (for those without a nintendo ds or without the proper utilities for the nintendo ds). examples of these types of applications would be: stephen stair's udp test program or infernods's ds chat.You can visit the official homepage here, or simply download it here.

depends on what emulation scene you're talking about. everyone in the NES scene works together and documents as much as possible and shares information openly. MAME is open source for the arcade emulation community. lots of things are open source. i'm not too sure what you mean?

The Emulation64 Network reports that Pete's OpenGL2 PSX GPU plug-in (as well as Pete's XGL2 Linux PSX GPU) has been updated to version 2.8. Below are the release notes for version 2.8 (taken from The Emulation64 Network).
- trickyfree suggested on my messageboard to have some different types of the display stretching. Ok, done: beside the old "full screen stretching" and "keep psx aspect ratio" modes, I've added two more ways to stretch the psx display to your screen.- ShadX and guest® are still doing amazing full screen shaders for the OGL2 plugin. Therefore you can find many shaders in the messageboard section of my site (http://www.pbernert.com). To make the shaders somewhat faster, they suggested to get additional pre-calculated values from the plugin. Done. Now the "OGL2InvSize" uniform is available for new GLslang shaders... let' em coming
- Well, I have got a Geforce 6800 Ultra card over half a year ago, and while trying to make this baby sweat, I've added an "Ultra high" internal Y resolution mode. If you want to activate this, you will need a card with 4096x4096 texture size support (newer NV cards or ATI's 1XXXX ones), and 256 MB vram is also recommended. By the way: the rendering speed will still be very high with this new setting, but psx framebuffer effects can now last a couple of seconds (!!!). Therefore this "ultra" resolution is not really usable with psx games which are doing much FB effects. You are warned
- In july 2003 I've started this PSX OGL2 plugin. Basic idea: don't map the psx drawing commands on-the-fly to the PC's gfx card's backbuffer (like my Standard OGL and D3D plugins are doing it), but to create a offscreen buffer in the same size as the real PSX GPU vram (or a multiple of it), and draw into that buffer. Well, by this time the only way to do this was to use "P-buffers" in OpenGL, and yeah, I got it to work nicely.
Much later (spring 2005) a nicer way to handle offscreen buffers were added to the OpenGL specifications, called "framebuffer objects". FBOs promise a better speed, and are easier to handle than the clumsy P-buffers, so I finally decided to add them in my plugin as well. You can change the render mode in the plugin config, if you are looking for some more speed, but to be honest: on my system every PSX game runs like mad (without frame limitation), so I cannot tell if FBOs are really faster. You have to try it yourself...
