Reesy released DrSMS v4 yesterday. Here are the changes:

* Support for SMS SRAM* Compressed Save States ( huffman”slow as shit”compression, by me ;S ) * More Bug fixes * Cleaned up sprite routines, removed support for Alien3 as it caused alot of problems with loads of other games. The need of the many outweigh the needs of the few…and all that 🙂 * Removed buffered palette writes, so Space Harrier is now flickery again, but James Pond now has its parrallex scrolling again. * Removed Game Gear Mask toggle. Sorry I’ve always thought it was crap. * Fixed a major bug in the memory paging routines * Added support for Star Trek Game Gear Games, there still not perfect but getting there. * Improved the sound routines

KR155E let me know that he released a new version of his Virtual Boy game”Blox”. Here are the details:

Thanks to my new Willem Eprom Programmer and a Flash Cart from DogP, I finally had the possibilities to make Blox compatible with the Virtual Boy hardware, so the game now not only works perfectly on emulators, but also the VB. Plus, besides some minor graphical updates, all the little features like Automatic Pause are now working. Another topic is the sound, though, about which is not enough known yet on the Virtual Boy, so the implementation of background music and sound effects has to be delayed to version 1.2. At least I could add some very easy sound effects, which let the VB beep when you push a box for example…
