PCSX-ReARMed (r2) (PSX emu for Pandora)

PCSX-ReARMed is yet another PCSX fork, based on PCSX-Reloaded. It has no relation to PSX4ALL, PSX4Pandora or PCSX4ALL (other than being PCSX derived) and has the source available. The main feature it has is Ari64’s dynarec, modified to suit PCSX. There is a bit of NEON for color space conversion too. The compatibility should be close to the PC version.

Now runs fullspeed without needing to overclock. Takes a long time to load initially, but will run well at 500MHz after that. More to come…

Tombstone City updated by ZX-81!

Wikipedia says:

Tombstone City: 21st Century is a single-player video game designed in 1981 exclusively for the Texas Instruments TI-99/4A home computer.

The player controls a schooner, shooting aliens (called Morgs) and tumbleweeds in order to woo people back to live in an abandoned city somewhere in the Southwestern United States. The score is labeled as “Population”. The game ends when all schooners are gone.
