Reesy has released a new version of his Sega Master System emulator. Heres some info about the release:New non flicker version of DrSMS released. The new menu and save function are still to do. After I have done these I will start DrSMS again from scatch, The current emulator will never support all games due to its inflexible design. I now need to spend some time looking at other ways of doing the emulator.Oh and by the way, the menu looks slightly different in this version. Its part of the menu re-write which isn't finished yet, so it looks abit dodgy. It shouldn't cause you to much trouble though.Downloads can be found on the homepage athttp://uk.geocities.com/dave_rees_uk/
Skeezix let me know that he has released a new version of his Atari ST emulatorCastaway/GP. Changes are:Release 11.2NEW: You can bind the value"menu_configload"to a button (say, left shoulder) This brings up the config ->load dialog, so that you can very quickly jump between config selections!Release 11.1NEW: The"print"config command now adds text after the"Custom"mode indicator; so if you print"MyMode"you'll see"Custom MyMode". Handy to know what mode you're in (what config was last loaded).FIX: When you hit Config ->Load and there are no .CNF files, it now gives an error instead of crashing :)FIX: Somehow from 10.5 private to 11.0 test version I broke the d-pad bindings.. fixed now.FIX: Frameskip mode wasn't displayed properly in the indicator, due to changes done in 10.5/11; fixed now, so like normal again.Visit the homepageherefor more information and the downloads.
