Yabause Wii UO (r2649) (Beta 18) (Saturn emu for Wii)

Yabause Wii is a Sega Saturn emulator for Wii and is the first of its kind as emulating the complex processes of the Sega Saturn is much harder then it looks and now even harder to run it on the limited hardware of the Wii.

Changes:

base on the original yabause r2649 (cmake branches)
compile with devkitPPC r23 and recent libogc except r4078 audio.c
use scsp2.c instead of scsp.c (some games works, but, sound quality seems to be lower)
fix clip bug of vdp1 in vidsoft.c
some minor fixes and changes

Retro Hunter #21 (misc)

Sven Vรƒยถรƒลธing presents another “Retro Hunter” Video-Podcast. Unfortunately it’s in German language only. Usually of interest for every Retro-Fan!

Quote:

Sven Vรƒยถรƒลธing alias Retro Hunter ist wieder zurรƒยผck. Dieses Mal war er zu Besuch im fernen Mรƒยผnchen und hat die Gamersglobal-Redaktion besucht. Dabei fiel ihm eine antike Software namens Ultima 5 in die Hรƒยคnde, die niemandem mehr zu gehรƒยถren schien.

20 Jahre kugelt sich Sonic The Hedgehog schon durch die Spielewelt. Grund genug fรƒยผr uns, dem blauen Flitze-Igel nicht nur zu gratulieren, sondern einen Blick auf den Klassiker zu werfen. Und wo es einen Klassiker gibt, da ist die Gurke nicht weit entfernt: Mit Awesome Possum….Kicks Dr. Machino’s Butt, zeigt uns Tengen eine wirklich dreiste Kopie des blauen Igels. Zum Ende der Folge wird wieder ein Fundstรƒยผck prรƒยคsentiert, und diesmal kรƒยถnnt ihr auch wieder was gewinnen. Was ihr dafรƒยผr mรƒยผsst? Einfach die Frage aus der Folge beantworten.

12 Swap (01-07-2011) (Caanoo Game Port)

12 Swap is a cute little match the smiley face puzzle game. It has two distinct modes of play. The first you just select, sit back, and match little smiley faces until the board runs out of selections. If you want to you can get genius with it and plan out how matched smiley faces will better your odds of getting points. Each round in this mode is dependant on how many points you get before you enter the next. As the rounds increase so do the amount of smiley choices. If you can manage to get more then 3 smileys in a row or have multiple matches as the board changes then you will be rewarded considerably more points.
