Reesy updated Dr. MD to version 2. Changes:

Rewrote sound rendering engine in order to make DAC emulation more accurate.

Fixed FM timer emulation – they were running to slowly, this caused slow music in games such as Outrun.

Added support for v1.0 save states

Fixed pallet problems in Another World. I was masking the pallet data with #F000 rather than #0xF000.

The touchscreen controller in the DS allows to read out pressure of the touch. It should be called pseudo-pressure, really, because it’s based on the the touched area and not on real exerted pressure.

Here is a small demo to show touch pressure. Although an emulator binary is available there is no much use to it.

Another updated game Tetris DS… by DesktopMan too. Changes:

Minor update to both Nibbles and Tetris. Both now uses the template from bottledlight, although with a different makefile for the arm9 part. You can now compile both emulator (arm9) binaries and hardware (passthrough) binaries easily. Also fixed some logic bugs in Nibbles, and slowed it down a bit. And now you can eat cherries aswell 🙂 Nibbles now comes with (messy) source, due to requests.

Miner is a mining simulation game. It was originally written in BASIC in 1980 by Ron Longfellow and published in Cursor magazine #19. That version ran on a 40-column Commodore PET. It was later updated for the PC in 1989 by Harrell Stiles, again written in BASIC. This new version is programmed in C, and runs on Windows and the GameBoy Advance. It is somewhat different from the previous versions in various ways. It features two view modes, one saved game slot, top ten scores, and sound effects.http://www.freewebs.com/drussell/

Mediaeval Quest is based on Adventure for the Atari 2600. Released Christmas 1979, Warren Robinette’s Adventure was one of the earliest graphical adventure games (it very likely was the first). Mediaeval Quest is not a direct port; it deviates from Adventure in significant ways, but is also very similar in others. And, like Adventure, it contains a so-called Easter egg, a hidden feature that is revealed after completing an esoteric series of actions in the game. Thanks to Donnie Russel, the autor, for the news.http://www.freewebs.com/drussell/
