Well, the time has come for HomebrewGames.org’s first official competition, organised by none other than I, CongoZombie. You may be wondering what such a competition may involve? Why would anyone want to spend their time making something that is crap? Well, possible answers to the first question include “because it is fun” and “why not?”.

Thanks to www.emuboards.com for the news.

RACE PSP is a Neo Geo Pocket (Color) emulator for PlayStation Portable.

Release notes:

The latest release of RACE! PSP includes state saving, and the test switch that I mentioned earlier. The switch enables developer-level access to Card Fighters’ Clash, Card Fighters’ Clash 2, Dokodemo Mahjong, and possibly other games. To enable the switch/button, map it to any PSP button via the ‘Control’ tab — it’s disabled by default. With regard to save state feature, I ask that you take its functionality with a grain of salt — at least until more folks report how well it works.
