    Dr. MD v2.0 (Megadrive emu for GP32)

    Reesy updated Dr. MD to version 2. Changes:

  • Rewrote sound rendering engine in order to make DAC emulation more accurate.
  • Fixed FM timer emulation – they were running to slowly, this caused slow music in games such as Outrun.
  • Added support for v1.0 save states
  • Fixed pallet problems in Another World. I was masking the pallet data with #F000 rather than #0xF000.

    Under Pressure (NDS Techdemo)

    Image provided by: Natrium42Here is what the autor writes:

    The touchscreen controller in the DS allows to read out pressure of the touch. It should be called pseudo-pressure, really, because it’s based on the the touched area and not on real exerted pressure.

    Here is a small demo to show touch pressure. Although an emulator binary is available there is no much use to it.

    Tetris DS – Update (NDS Game)

    Another updated game Tetris DS… by DesktopMan too. Changes:

    Minor update to both Nibbles and Tetris. Both now uses the template from bottledlight, although with a different makefile for the arm9 part. You can now compile both emulator (arm9) binaries and hardware (passthrough) binaries easily. Also fixed some logic bugs in Nibbles, and slowed it down a bit. And now you can eat cherries aswell 🙂 Nibbles now comes with (messy) source, due to requests.

    Miner v1.2a (GBA Game)

    Miner is a mining simulation game. It was originally written in BASIC in 1980 by Ron Longfellow and published in Cursor magazine #19. That version ran on a 40-column Commodore PET. It was later updated for the PC in 1989 by Harrell Stiles, again written in BASIC. This new version is programmed in C, and runs on Windows and the GameBoy Advance. It is somewhat different from the previous versions in various ways. It features two view modes, one saved game slot, top ten scores, and sound effects.http://www.freewebs.com/drussell/
