    The ScummVM Team is pleased to announce a new bugfix release for the 2.1 series - ScummVM 2.1.2, codenamed “Fixing Powerful Windows”. You will notice that this time, our downloads page is not exactly extensive. Don't worry, we are not touching ScummVM's (quite incredible) portability here.
    ScummVM 2.1.2 is a maintenance release intended for Windows and Mac OS X, providing some bug fixes for those platforms. Since all other platforms are not affected, you don't need to worry about a seemingly missing update for now.
    While browsing the downloads page, you probably noticed a new entry there, especially when browsing our website using a PC running Ubuntu: ScummVM is now officially available at the Snap Store! Thanks to the ongoing support from Alan "popey" Pope and Alan Griffiths, the Snap Store release of ScummVM is now on-par with our other Linux releases. Compared to the traditonal way of distribution software on Linux, we have a lot more freedom in terms of new releases using the Snap Store. The moment we release a new version of ScummVM, you will receive it as an automated update.
    The ScummVM Snap comes in two flavours. The "stable" channel contains our official releases which makes it a great choice for most users. In case you want to explore the latest and greatest features of our current development versions, simply follow the "edge" channel and get an updated build each and every day! We also have some pretty neat additions to the Snap Package in mind - but more on that later.
    Enjoy, and have fun!

    Pantheon v9.520 is released. Pantheon is Windows desktop application with collection of games for video consoles and home computers from the past. The games are not the part of the application, instead they will be downloaded (with the game manual or review - if available) from the internet, after you activate the game. Downloaded files are stored on the local file system and will be available offline the next time you wish to play the game. Finally, the program file is loaded into the memory and executed inside the emulator. Current version has emulator of Atari 2600 with collection of 170 games, emulator of Atari 5200 with collection of 50 games and emulator of Atari 8-bit computers with collection of 26 games.

    Pantheon is still in development, new features and games are added almost every day. But you may experience occasional artifacts or crashes during the gameplay, and game snapshots may not be available in the following releases.

    byuu v3 is released. byuu is a multi-system emulator that focuses on accuracy and ease-of-use. It is currently in early release beta status. byuu is an upcoming multi-system emulator that aims to provide the accuracy of higan, with the ease-of-use of bsnes. It seeks to accomplish this by catering to the common 99% of use cases, rather than higan, which tries to cater to every niche. As such, certain advanced functionality will not be available in byuu; however, the emulator will be significantly easier to use, like bsnes.

    Planned roadmap:
    v1: support for gamepad mapping and the save state manager
    v2: support for other controller types (mice, light guns) and multiple-players
    v3: support for Famicom Disk System, Super Game Boy, and Sega CD emulation
    v?: support for per-system input mapping, cheat codes, movie recording, and run-ahead functionality
    v?+X: optional scanline renderers for each core to boost performance substantially
    v?+Y: additional emulation cores from outside of higan (PS1, Saturn, N64 would be most promising!)

    byuu v1.1 changelog:
    Famicom: emulated the X24C01 EEPROM for Bandai-FGC boards (no X24C02 support yet)
    Mega CD: CDC PCM DMA can only write to current bank [EkeEke]
    Mega CD: CDC DMA address setting now clears d0-d2 for proper transfer alignment [EkeEke]
    Mega CD: improve power-cycle handling (not perfect; best to restart the emulator between each Mega CD game still ...)
    PC Engine: trigger VDC coincidence IRQs at start of scanline (fixes Bomberman '94, Air Zonk start screen rendering issues)
    PC Engine: improved RCR interrupt emulation (fixes Air Zonk in-game)
    PC Engine: fix VDC DCR writes (fixes Gaia no Monshou, Magical Chase, etc)
    PC Engine: reduced VDC access delays (fixes Wonder Momo, but may not be hardware accurate)
    PC Engine: improved instruction timing
    PC Engine: added Avenue Pad 6 emulation (higan only for now)
    WonderSwan: window emulation improvements
    byuu: BIOS firmware settings window improvements
    byuu: can now load firmware from inside ZIP archives
    byuu: added trace logging tool
    byuu: added manifest viewer tool
    byuu: add path overrides for saves, BPS patches, and DSP firmware files
    higan: fixed a serious issue with the "Create New System" option from the launch screen
    nall: fixed a subtle yet important issue with Natural/Integer::bit() that allowed out-of-range bits to be set

    PC gamers are being asked to donate their unused computational power to help researchers better understand the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
    Folding@home is a distributed computing project for disease research which uses idle resources to simulate protein folding.
    By downloading Folding@home, PC gamers can help researchers develop treatments for COVID-19, which has so far killed over 8,000 people and caused global disruption.
    "The data you help us generate will be quickly and openly disseminated as part of an open science collaboration of multiple laboratories around the world, giving researchers new tools that may unlock new opportunities for developing lifesaving drugs," said Folding@home director Greg Bowman in a post detailing the project.
    Early projects are geared around understanding how the virus interacts with human host cells, and developing new antibodies to disrupt it.
