CrossPics has been, accordingly to the author, updated several times during night. You can get the recent update from it’s page. Detailes release notes:

I’ve updated the game a few times over the evening in some attempts to make the touchscreen code more stable, it’s definitely improved since yesterday, but it’s still not perfect, random presses still happen. Also, at least one of those builds had a bug that set the top row clues to zero… probably making some puzzles impossible or at least look different, sorry for any trouble that may have caused. I’ll post the source for the game on the weekend, once I’ve cleaned it up a bit.

ZodTTD has released another new update for his Playstation emulator. Changes:

Timings have been vastly improved. Or at least they seem to be. Let me know if compatibility goes down.

I changed the way interrupts are timed in this release. Hopefully it improved performance!

I added a cache to the CDR component. This allowed for the next improvement, and also gives a slight speed boost.

Due to the CD cache I was able to run more CPU instructions per loop before running a interrupt. This gave a few more much needed FPS.

Frameskip is still included in this release but no longer even attempts to work. It will be put back in when Unai’s GPU is complete.

Save states are working now. Though in a premature”state”(no pun intended).
