BigRedPimp told me via EFNET #pdroms that there is a new build of his game"Berzerks Legends"which is, as you can guess from the name, a Berzerks Clone. The post on his page was:Well, isn't that funny? 2 months exactly since my last beta build. This build shows the AI levels working for the enemies, but not the enemy fire (yet). The AI levels are as follow:PointsRobot ColorShots fired0-260 pts. Yellow0260-1200Red11200-3000 Light Blue23000-4500Yellow/Green34500-6000Purple46000-8000Yellow58000-10000WhiteOne fast shot (2x speed)10000-12000Light BlueTwo fast shotsI hope to have the robots shooting me soon. :P As always, go to the Files section to find the latest build.http://berzerk.pocketheaven.com/

Anyone remembering Splam!? The author is still working on his Commodore64 emulator for the Gameboy Advance. The author has notupdated his page for ages, but recently he posted those WIP news on his page:Just a quick update to let everyone know I'm still working on Splam when I can and to say thanks for the emails of encouragement I've been getting (I'll ignore the ones just insulting me).I've taken Splam apart recently and I've been putting it back together slowly and rewriting bits as I go. As soon as I've got it all back together I'll test some games on it and if it looks ok I'll release something. It probably won't be as fast as I want it to be (ie 50fps) but shouldn't be too far off.http://splam.emuhq.com/
FluBBa has done an update of his PCE emulator for the Gameboy Advance. The changes:V1.8 - 2003-05-06Fixed some background glitches in unscaled mode.Fixed some CPU problems:"Darius Alpha"works again,"Turrican"starts =)"Gun Boat"allmost starts.http://hem.passagen.se/flubba/gba.html
Tyrell did another update of his Spectrum emulator for the GP32. Here are the changes:- Version v0.2 is released!What's new:- Added AY-3-8910 sound ! Sound is very clean in some games. Try"head over heels"128k version,"Rick Dangerous 2","Tetris2"... However, in other games (especially in the menus) AY sound is not that good, there's some background noise. But all in all, I think it's a welcomed feature, evenif it's not 100% perfect.- Enhanced Beeper sound. Now, it's a little bit clearer than before, and few or no background noise can be heard.- Enhanced the virtual keyboard and added the space key (the '*' on the virtual keyboard). Now, press"B"button to select the key and the"A"button to quit without pressing a key.- Options screen: when pressing the"B"key, options are not saved but they are taken into account (was not the case before).http://www.speccyal.be/
CaSTaway has crystalclear sound now! The emu is gettin' nearly perfect now, just correct palette stuff is missing.http://www.codejedi.com/shadowplan/gp32.html
Tyrell brought us an updated version of his Spectrum emulator for GP32. The changes:The lock bug has been fixed ! If you have also experienced this bug (emulator freeze while entering the options screen, or the file browser, or the virtual keyboard), download the new 0.1b version. Also added: - Keep the last loaded directory between file browsing sessions- Options screen: use"select"key to confirm, and"B"key to quit without saving the preferences.- Virtual keyboard: use"B"button to quit without entering a keyhttp://www.speccyal.be/.
