Picodrive v1.55 (Megadrive emu for GP2x)

Picodrive by Notaz is a Genesis/MegaDrive and SegaCD emulator for GP2x.

Release notes:

Not much has changed from the previous version released a year ago (in terms of features), most of latest efforts were put to get it working well on Wiz. This version now runs both on Wiz and F100/F200, which will save me some burden of having to compile separate versions. Here is the changelog:

– Added Wiz support. Now the same GP2X binary supports F100/F200 and Wiz.
– Changed shadow/hilight handling a bit, fixes some effects in Pirates! Gold.
– Complete input code rewrite. This fixes some limitations like not allowing to control both players using single input device. It also allows to use more devices (like keyboards) on Linux based devices.
– Options menu has been reordered, “restore defaults” option added.
– Fixed a crash when uncompressed savestate is loaded.
– Fixed an idle loop detection related hanging problem.
– Fixed a sync problem between main and sub 68k. Should fix the hanging problem for some games.
– Fixed a crash when CD savestate is loaded just after loading ROM.

Chunk Munch v0.3 (Wii Game)

A simple yet addictive game, just point and click on two or more connected and identical ‘chunks’ to ‘munch’ them up.

Changes:

– New Icon for HBC
– Changing sizes is now easier (larger clickable area) also shows amount of pixels
– Skinning support works!! ( currently I use png files, ico’s will load but wont be pretty 🙁 )
– Last known Skin will try to auto load, on failure it goes back to internal default.
– To create a skin: add a directory, fill it with background.png, 1 through 10.png, cursor.png (all files are optional! 😀 items not found will default back to old style)

Neko Project II Wii v0.1B (NEC PC-9801 emu for Wii)

Neko Project II emulates a NEC PC-9801.

Release notes:

Neko Project II Wii is a port of the PC-9801 (PC98) emulator, Neko Project II. It was brought to life by the fantastic progress on the SDL-Wii port by Tantric. Neko Project II was originally written by YUI.

This is a very early version, and is the bare minimum needed to play a game. When you start Neko Project II Wii, you will be presented with a dialog to load disks. Press B to continue past this dialog.

There is 1 file that is required by Neko Project II Wii. This is the font.bmp file. It must be placed in SD:/PC98/DATA/ as font.bmp. Floppy and Hard Disk images must be stored in SD:/PC98/ROMS/

To get the last built version, there is a directory on the Neko Project II Wii Git called np2hbc. Copy this to SD:/apps/ and put the files required by Neko Project II Wii on the SD card, and go!

In order to build Neko Project II Wii, you will need the latest devkitPro, libfat, and SDL libraries. You will also need to slightly patch SDL, to expose the vmode variable. I’ll leave this up to you to figure out 😉

QuirkDS (06-08-2009) (NDS Game)

maRk2512 updated his game QuirkDS. It’s a remake of the old GameBoy game “Kwirk, A-mazing tater”.

Release notes:

Another Update! Sorry for the lack of updates – i’ve a lot to do with my new house, but the end is near…

– Select your native language in titlescreen (two languages at the moment)
– Music in titlescreen.
– Soundfx during game.

This version includes only 20 maps to play.

The final version will get 136 maps!! (All maps from Kwirk, A-mazing tater and Puzzle Boy/PC-Engine)
I’ve made a extra nightshift to create them all.

If anyone have some better soundfx – please post a mail. Every help is hearty welcome.

You can download the actual version on my first post!

Thanks to http://www.nintendomax.com for the news.
