PGEN v1.1 is out! The highlight this release is support for the PS2 HDD. The changes:

* Just about all PS2 specific code re-written * Started using gsLib for graphics * Added scroll bar to romlist and Save Manager * Added support for loading ROM’s from the memory cards * Added HDD support. Now possible to save/load states and options to the HDD, and load ROM’s from the HDD * CD refresh obsolete, removed * Added support for zipped roms * Filtering now available for rendering (hardware linear filtering) * Saved states now use zlib for compression. Old saves are incompatible. * Killed support for OLD JAP consoles (sorry :P) * Fixed bug with FIFO empty (VDP control port) emulation. Fixes games such as Wonderboy 5 and Splatterhouse 2. * Added multitap support for use in 4 player games * No longer load modules from cdrom, making it possible to boot from a memory card via the PS2 Independence exploit * Many other misc changes

SIEMu the 8080a (sim|em)ulator has been ported to the GP32. This initial version is hardcoded to play Space Invaders, but the codebase will support Invaders Revenge and Space Attack for anyone who wants to recompile it. Full speed, clean colour display, and sampled sound. Source incuded (GPL). Now fixed to also support 3 char extensions for your rom files (rename, appending ‘xx’ to each).
