Mr. Spiv just let me know about his oldskool intro which shows off some advanced LCD raster tricks. Heres some info about it:

– 100Hz screen mode- everything runs at 50fps- 255 simultaneous colors for graphics (8 bits mode)- 320 simultaneous colors for the background- 2 independent playfields with transparency and shrinking&stretching&scrolling capabilities- 3 DMAs feed data to LCD registers- everything is clocked with timer driven DMAs- 1 interrupt per frame (vblank)- 3840 bytes of data needs to be moved per frame to do all effects- No SDK- no overclocking (all HCLK, PCLK and FCLK are within legal limits)

Looks very nice so be sure to check it out via Mr. Spivs homepage athttp://www.deadcoderssociety.tk/, dont forget to read the readme (linked on the homepage) which contains more information on the intro and also what the buttons do.

Today we are pleased to announce a brand new project currently entitled Ps2Boy Advance, the very first GBA emulator for the ps2 currently being ported by Warren. Currently frontend is being developed along and overall framework is being made.This is a port of visualboy advance with the preliminary goal to support for GBA games but and later support GB and GBC games. Will support loading ROMS from HOST0 (naplink, ps2link), Memory card/Devolution mode, CDVD or HDD(when the filesystem drivers are in place). Will save configuration and saves to Memory card initially, later on will save save games to HDD and lots more features as the project progresses. The official website and forums for ps2boy will be hosted right on ps2newz at http://ps2boy.ps2newz.net/ This is truly great news for the ps2 scene as emulation on the ps2 lives on!
