OpenTTD v1.9.0-RC2 is released. OpenTTD is an open source simulation game based upon the popular Microprose game "Transport Tycoon Deluxe", written by Chris Sawyer. It attempts to mimic the original game as closely as possible while extending it with new features.

Features
OpenTTD is modelled after the original Transport Tycoon game by Chris Sawyer and enhances the game experience dramatically. Many features were inspired by TTDPatch while others are original.

Significant enhancements from the original game include:
bigger maps (up to 64 times in size)
stable multiplayer mode for up to 255 players in 15 companies, or as spectators
dedicated server mode and an in-game console for administration
IPv6 and IPv4 support for all communication of the client and server
in game downloading of AIs, NewGRFs, scenarios and heightmaps
new pathfinding algorithms that makes vehicles go where you want them to
autorail/-road build tool, improved terraforming
canals, shiplifts, aqueducts
larger, non-uniform stations and the ability to join them together
mammoth and multi-headed trains
different configurable models for acceleration of vehicles
clone, autoreplace and autoupdate vehicles
the possibility to build on slopes and coasts
advanced/conditional orders, share and copy orders
longer and higher bridges including several new designs, plus fully flexible tracks/roads under bridges
reworked airport system with many more airports/heliports (e.g. international and metropolitan)
presignals, semaphores, path based signalling
support for TTDPatch NewGRF features offering many options for graphics and behaviour configuration/modification
drive-through road stops for articulated road vehicles and trams
multiple trees on one tile
bribe the town authority
many configuration settings to tune the game to your liking
save games using zlib compression for smaller sizes, while not interrupting gameplay
significant internationalisation support. OpenTTD has already been translated into over 50 languages
dynamically created town names in 18 languages, plus NewGRF support for additional languages
freely distributable graphics, sounds and music
framework for custom (user) written AIs
zooming further out in the normal view and zooming out in the small map
Lots of effort has been put into making OpenTTD easy to use. These include:

convert rail tool (to electrified rail, monorail, and maglev)
drag&drop support for almost all tools (demolition, road/rail building/removing, stations, scenario editor, etc)
sorting of most lists based on various criteria (vehicle, station, town, industries, etc.)
mouse wheel support (scroll menus, zoom in/out)
autoscroll when the mouse is near the edge of the screen/window
sell whole train by dragging it to the dynamite trashcan
cost estimation with the 'shift' key
advanced options configuration window, change settings from within the game
Graphical/interface features:

screenshots can be in BMP, PNG or PCX format (select in game options menu)
more currencies (including Euro introduction in 2002)
extra viewports to view more parts of the game world at the same time
resolution and refresh rate selection for fullscreen mode
colourful newspaper after a certain date
colour coded vehicle profits
game speed increase (through fast forward button or by pressing the TAB key)
snappy and sticky windows that always stay on top and neatly align themselves to other windows
more hotkeys for even less mouse-clicking
support for 32 bit graphics
support for right-to-left languages
support for other (sized) fonts where the user interface scales based on the font and translation

OpenTTD Changelog:
- Fix #7400: WaterClass for tree tiles was not converted for old saves preventing industry creation (#7405)
- Fix: Filtered file list did not scroll properly (#7402)
- Fix #7391: Don't invalidate go to depot orders of non-aircraft when invalidating hangar orders that happen to share IDs (#7392)
- Fix #7386: Measurement tooltip for tunnels, aqueducts & docks did not display or flickered (#7389)
- Fix: Wrong company performance rating when money exceeds INT_MAX (#7382)
- Fix: Permit loading of industry production callback with invalid cargo type (#7364)
- Fix: Spelling for a few real town names (#7338)
- Fix: Runway too short for large aircraft message should not depend on plane crashes setting (#7325)
- Fix #7334: Ship lost after crossing bridge due to path cache not being consumed while on final bridge end (#7335)

QEMU v4.0.0-rc1 is released. QEMU is a generic and open source machine emulator and virtualizer.When used as a machine emulator, QEMU can run OSes and programs made for one machine (e.g. an ARM board) on a different machine (e.g. your own PC). By using dynamic translation, it achieves very good performances.When used as a virtualizer, QEMU achieves near native performances by executing the guest code directly on the host CPU. A host driver called the QEMU accelerator (also known as KQEMU) is needed in this case. The virtualizer mode requires that both the host and guest machine use x86 compatible processors.

DOSBox-X v0.82.13 is released. DOSBox-x is a branch of DOSBox. DOSBox emulates an Intel x86 PC, complete with sound, graphics, mouse, joystick, modem, etc., necessary for running many old MS-DOS games that simply cannot be run on modern PCs and operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista, Linux and FreeBSD.

DOSBox-X Changelog:
Mac OS X SDL2 builds now use the native OS X menu
system instead of the "SDL drawn" menus.
Mac OS X SDL1 builds now default to the OpenGL
output (if compiled with OpenGL support). Under
recent versions of OS X, OpenGL output gives
better performance than surface (CGBitmap) based
display.
SDL2 builds now have working XBRZ scaler support.
Mac OS X SDL2 builds updated to completely ignore
touch events, because SDL2 sees the touchpad on
Macbooks as a touchscreen. Prior to this fix, the
DOSBox-X UI was unusable due to mixed input events
from both the touchpad and the mouse input from the
touchpad.
SDL1 High DPI support for Mac OS X users with Retina
displays.
SDL1 fix for display problems (blank windows) on Mac
OS X 10.14.x (Mojave).
Windows builds (compiled with VS2017) now have working
MT32 (Munt) emulation.
Adjusting CPU cycles with F12 + - / F12 + + (Increment
and Decrement Cycles shortcuts) now updates cpu cycles
property. This fixes a problem where adjusting the cycle
count then changing the CPU core caused DOSBox-X to reset
the cycle count back to the original value.
Linux/X11 support fixed not to assume XRandR extensions
are present, but to instead ask the X11 server first.
Simple scaler rendering has altered the RENDER start line
state so that detection of a changed line triggers a block
of rendering without compare within a limited count before
checking again. This means a reduced CPU load with scalers
because it only detects frame changes every line before
changes detected, and then on average every 12th line
when running the scaler code. Hopefully this helps the
Raspberry Pi keep up with DOS gaming better.
Simple scalers now offer compile-time (not run-time)
option to omit per-pixel compare in scaler and process
the entire scanline instead as a performance adjustment
for slower and embedded systems.
Video debug menu added. First item is one that blanks the
display to test screen updating.
Simple scalers (normal 2x-5x and SAI) revised to process
changes and scaler rendering in larger blocks for possible
performance improvement.
Simple scalers fixed to properly compare all pixels to
detect changes properly, instead of only the first 4-8
pixels.
EGA/VGA text rendering combined to reduce code copypasta
and reduce bugs.
VGA 16-color planar modes now obey CRTC byte/word/dword
bits.

Raine v0.64.16 is released. RAINE is an Emulator for Arcade games. Raine is a M68000 and M68020 arcade game emulator. Raine emulates some M68000 and M68020 arcade games and is mainly focused on Taito and Jaleco games hardware. It started as an experiment with the Rainbow Islands romset, dumped by Aracorn/Romlist. Raine can emulate many nice games now, and new games (previously unemulated) are appearing weekly.

Raine v0.64.16 changelog:
enough fixes for a new binary I guess... !

melonDS v0.7.2 Hotfix is released. melonDS is an open source Nintendo DS(NDS) emulator. melonDS is part of a second wave of DS emulators. There are a few other emulator projects that are part of it, which you might have already heard of. Either way, check them out!

melonDS Features:
* almost-complete 2D graphics
* 3D graphics (software renderer) with texturing, alphablending, lighting
* input: keyboard and joystick, touchscreen
* backup memory
* booting from the BIOS
* resizable video output window, preserving aspect ratio of individual screens

melonDS Changelog:
It appeared that, due to an oversight, melonDS 0.7.2 would crash when loading a ROM if the physical microphone init failed.
This has since been fixed, and a hotfix has been pushed. If you downloaded melonDS 0.7.2 before this post, just redownload it to get the fixed version.
