Metalbrain has updated his Spectrum emulator for the GP2x.

Changes:

– Fixed a bug that prevented the Y button to be assigned to a key using the virtual keyboard
– The virtual keyboard won’t make all frames show when frameskip is 1 (it resulted in half speed)
– I was still applying contention emulation in a place where I shouldn’t when “no contention” was selected. Now the no contention mode will be less precise, but default speed has been reduced to 125/155MHz.
– Fixed a bug that made port contention not to be applied in most cases.
– Fixed a bug in HALT timing, it was taking 8 states instead of 4.
– Improved floating bus emulation, now passes floatspy test and other similar ones.
– Improved interrupts emulation including how EI affects them.
– Small optimizations.

FreeSCI is a virtual machine made to run many classic adventure games from Sierra on modern operating systems.

Release notes from Hooka:

I recently picked up work on the GP2X ports of Freesci, so I decided to give you guys a little tester while I work through my list of “need to do’s” for an actual release.

Glutton is the newer, yet more unstable branch of Freesci. It has some nice features, but it maybe impossible to finish games, no savestates, etc.

On the GP2X you have a few different input methods, and you can change between them using select. Please read the README.GP2X for more info. For general freesci info, check the respective versions README.

firestARTerjust released a new version of the GP2x Midi Interface for the LittlePiggyTracker. In the new version it is possible to use all Midi-Commandos now. So LGPT can be used as a little Handheld Midi-Sequencer. If someone like to add Midi to her/his Application, it is no problem with the GP2x-Midi Interface.
