Added a loader so launching programmes from d64s with multiple files is much easier.

News taken from GP32 X-Treme:
Another version of media player from Goawong. This time we get file browser, can change clock speed (RIGHT key), but you can shoot me but dont know how to play an avi. Maybe this is why he named it Demo 😉 Try it yourself.

Reesy updated his page with WIP news the past two days. DrSMS is a Master System emulator for the Gameboy Advance.
9th April 2003 – DrSMS NewsI’ve put in code to emulate the SMS noise channel. I am only emulating noise modes 0,1 and 2 at the moment. Number 3 uses the frequncy on tone channel 2 as its input. I’ll need to build a table to translate these frequency’s. I have also put in the menu.8th April 2003 – DrSMS NewsMajor break through today, I have finally got the rasta effects to work. So you will be able to play games like Hang-on and Battle Outrun. I’m not however going to release a new version yet, I’m going to be really nasty and make you wait!. I still have to put in a menu system on some sort and I still have to do the noise channel. I’ve also had reports that the reset function does not work correctly. So instead of releasing another version full of bugs, I’m going to try and tie up a few loose ends before the next release. I may even put in some code to emulate the SMS pause button.

Hando over at GP32 X-Treme also had a look on ryleh’s latest piece of work which is a MAME port for the GP32 (unreleased yet). Hando offers a couple of other screenshots which GP32emu didn’t had.
As promised yesterday, some more info about M.A.M.E. for GP based on 0.66 sources. More than 20 games is supported, mostly Sega System 1. Emulation speed deppends on game. Actually all titles except Time Pilot (quite slow) are very playable. Emulator supports zipped roms, what is great feature if we consider that oeriginal MAME supports more than 3000 games. Of course GP32 wont handle even a half of them, but even than those supported games will took a lot of space. There is no chance fo public release because at current stage author is concentrating on emulator core, than he will start to add support for more games. As everyone knows, MAME sources are one big mess, so we have to be patient. A lot of works is still to do. But despite of this, Rlyeh has made a really great job so far.
