Is it just me or has the emu scene died?

[Azalin]

I haven't heard a whisper concerning new improvements on the SNES or GBA emulators in months, suprising given that they just cracked SuperFX chip emulation for the GP2x. Is the Emu and Homebrew scene finally dying, then? Or is everybody just being really quiet?

Hm, checking only the first page of our News (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=23) forum reveals that there are plenty of new emulator releases... ;)

I agree that there weren't many new homebrew games though. Most developers are currently working on developing commercial releases for the GOAT Store, so probably that's the reason.


You can find many great releases from 2005 and 2006 included to this compilation though:
