“Nighttime Bastards” is a work-in-progress game for NES by picccca, a developer from Finland. It’s far from being complete, but at the same time it’s another proof of the NES scene not being dead!
Release notes:
You now get points for every time you refill the machine, and you loose one life for every time Basil gets you. I have uploaded the new ROM.

New level, gang! I noticed I actually didn’t solve the mice lining-up with the squares problem, but I think I fixed it this time. And, just to avoid legal problems with Sega and Sonic Team, I think I’m going to name the final game “Nice Mice”. Anyone want to try and make a title screen for me with the title screen bB thing, that’d be really nice of you.

DS2x86 by Patrick Aalto is a PC emulator for Nintendo DS. It’s purpose is to allow you to run old DOS games on your Nintendo DS game console. DS2x86 is a port of DSx86 port using the SuperCard DSTwo’s MIPS processor, therefor it will just run with such a card.
Changes:
– Blinking cursor in text modes (finally!).
– HIMEM.SYS emulation added, allows Chaos Engine to run.
– Fixed a serious total crash problem in 32-bit string opcodes.
– Fixed a stack alignment problem that could cause “Exception 4” BSOD errors.
– Improved BSOD reporting, now includes a stack trace.
– Improved horizontal blank reporting, this might solve hanging problems
in some games.
– Improved Mode-X graphics blitting code to handle wrap-around properly.
– Changed the screen refresh interrupt interval from 60Hz to 59Hz. This
might help with the intermittent “stuck key” problem in some games.
– Direct file read to EGA memory is now supported (f.ex. in “Heimdall”).
– Implemented a number of previously missing opcodes.
