bsnes v076 released2011-02-25
Most notable in this release is that sound support has been added to my own Super Game Boy emulation. The GUI toolkit, phoenix, has also received a complete rewrite; with the most visible change there being that windows are now resizable.
Changelog:
* added sound emulation to Game Boy core
* fixed Super Game Boy save state support
* added HexEdit widget to Windows and Qt targets; debugger can now be compiled on all platforms
* entering fullscreen now auto-hides mouse; and mouse capture is toggled otherwise by F12 key
* fullscreen command and geometry caching works much better on GTK+ and Qt targets
* phoenix rewritten from scratch; now supports resizable layout containers
* phoenix/Windows no longer relies on buggy SetParent API to reparent widgets

Hokutoy directed " puZSion "excellent puzzle game in the style of Jewel Quest coded Bennu on Nintendo Wii.
After finding the cause to the FNT load bug, today I'm pleased to finally release Puzsion RC1 for Wii.http://bennugd-wii.blogspot.com/2011...r-wii-rc1.html
I'm calling this RC1 because the game still needs some testing and might undergo some minor tweaking to further adapt it to the Wii but to my knowledge there are no bugs and it's perfectly playable.
Please let me know in the comments section if you find any issue with the game so that I can fix it.
Hope you like it!

Saucy PS3 and Wii party game We Dare will not be available in America, publisher Ubisoft has confirmed....
A spokesperson for the publisher told IGN that the party game, which sees you spanking your chums, snogging the controller and stripping down to your undies, will "absolutely not see release in the United States".
No further explanation was offered, though a glimpse at the rather extraordinary trailer, which has now been region-restricted to Europe on YouTube, might offer a few clues.
Ubisoft is taking an unusual approach with this one. No formal press release has been issued announcing the game's arrival, and so far our interview requests have fallen on deaf ears.
However, an Amazon product description throws up a little more information.
"Use the Wii-mote and PS3 Move controller in unbelievable ways, as you've never imagined before... wave it around to the beat of your favourite tunes, old and new... put it in your pocket and act-out flirtatious actions..." reads the listing.
"Sometimes co-operative hugging helps, and it certainly doesn't hurt.
"And there's more! You can also use your Wii Balance Board for additional gameplay based on pure body mass... are you the lightest one in the group? Perhaps shedding some clothes will even the playing field... it'll definitely make the party more interesting!"
It's probably worth noting at this point that the game has a 12 and over PEGI rating.
35 "fun and flirtatious" mini-games are promised, for up to four players on Wii or two on PlayStation 3.
According to the Amazon listing, you'll be able to pick it up on 11th March.

The FPS genre needs more developers willing to take risks and break new ground, so says Homefront developer Kaos Studios....
Speaking in an interview with CVG, lead level designer Rex Dickson explained that gamers don't need any more Modern Warfare or Halo look-alikes.
"As a game designer and someone who plays games I really want some people to start pushing boundaries," he said. "Kaos could have made another modern combat game in the Middle East, or an armoured fighter in space versus aliens but does the market really need any more of that?
Dickson went on to explain that if big publishers weren't willing to take these risks, responsibility falls on smaller teams to step up.
"If you want to break the mould of what everyone else is doing there is going to be a certain amount of risk involved. Maybe that's not okay for people like Bungie, Microsoft and Sony but for us, the little guy - and THQ as the third publisher - we have to take these risks and break out.
"If the big guys aren't going to take the risks they're going to just keep making the same game over and over with each iteration then it's up to the little guys to make these games and try and break the mould."
"There's no fear really," he added, addressing the pressure of launching a new IP. "I think I'd be more afraid if we making another Halo game or another desert combat game. The fact that we're offering something unique and different removes the fear, that's what we should be doing."
Homefront, which sees you defending America from an invading Korean army, launches on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on 18th March.
