fMSX is a famous emulator of the MSX, MSX2, and MSX2+ 8bit home computers. It runs MSX/MSX2/MSX2+ software on many different platforms including Windows and Unix.

It has been first written by Marat Fayzullin, and later Vincent van Dam ported it on SDL.

GP2X-MSX is a port on GP2X of the version 2.7.0.40 of fMSX-SDL from Vincent van Dam that ZX-81 had previously ported to PSP.

This version fix game compatibility issue (all games that required painter.rom cartridge)

Changes:

– Speed improvements in CPU and sound emulation
– Add missing keys such as HOME, GRAPH, STOP
– Add option to increase emulated sound volume (different from gp2x volume)
– Auto-fire mode, press RTrigger+X to switch it on/off (useful for games such as 1942)
– RTrigger/LTrigger keys can be used in the keyboard settings menu to navigate between Normal, LTrigger and RTrigger compose mapping.
– Add several new hotkeys :
. settings such as fps, render mode, auto fire speed can now be directly modified inside the emulator (no need to enter in the settings menu)
. quick save / quick load current state (no need to enter in the main menu)
– Default Hotkeys can now be set in the keyboard mapping menu (useful to add hotkeys on existing/previous keyboard files)

Zelda is still having a hughe fanbase in the world of video games. A german developer named BassAceGold is currently developing a homebrew Nintendo DS Zelda fangame named “Zelda – The Shards Of Light”.

From the progress blog:

Well, I’ve been putting a little work into the game lately and its getting pretty far through. So far I have only 19 more things to achieve + bug fixes before the Overworld is completed!

—–Overworld—–

—weapons—

-Finish off items(sub items too ie. raft)

-fix enemy collision to all items and damage

-re-write AI handling

-add in all the caves with the old man and their scripts

—graphics—

-add in new overworld graphics
-add in new enemy graphics

-add/fix effects for the 7th level lake revealing
-pause sprite animations when in the inventory
-add new time of day effects to bg layer 2

-add faries to fountains & healing stuff

-add item collision for all burnable bushes/bombable walls/moveable rocks/and those statue things
Its still a lot of coding but its mostly just fixing things at this point for the overworld.

The first Demo will be released (to those who donate) once the overworld part is completed which could take any where from a month or 2 or 3, just depends whats happening though cause school is taking a lot of time. Anyways I thought I’d just leave this update

Do you remember the two farting guys “Terrance & Phillip” from South Park? Now those two guys have their very own computergame on the Atari 2600 platform.

Release notes:

Added 2 new screens. Screen 21 has the first appearance of a “smart pig,” a pig that knows where you are and chases after you.
