notaz posted this news:
Finally finished implementing my spc700 ASM core. Also merged code with my Symbian UIQ2 port, which I had done half a year ago (it had some nice optimizations too).
The performance improved, but i'm not sure if I didn't break something. Added "Audio performance hack" option which makes better use of that spc700 core by doing less sync between emulated chips, but it only works with some games (other hang or add noises). Also added sound quality selector (please note that previous version was locked to 16500Hz stereo).
The bug list below will probably need to be expanded with newly introduced bugs, so I'm waiting for your reports. Note that graphics code was not changed, so do not expect any improvements there.
Make sure you turn off "Audio performance hack" before trying games, because it breaks most of them.
changelog:
0.391
Fixed some serious memory leaks in the menu system, which caused emulator crash after entering menu certain number of times.
Hopefully fixed some strange slowdown/blank display issues.

New from Play Asia:
From the publisher: The students of Will O’ Wisp magical academy have a little problem: Their teacher has mysteriously disappeared. After commandeering a handful of rockets to rescue her, they’ve wound up on a strange (and sometimes scary) adventure through outer space. Now players must rescue both their classmates AND their teacher – and just maybe the whole solar system while they’re at it.
Madeleine, a respected and powerful teacher at Will O’ Wisp magical academy, tells her students that she will undertake a dangerous mission in space and trains them for combat should the need arise. After not hearing from her for some time, the kids stumble upon a hangar of rocket ships. One by one, they board individual ships and crash land on distant planets alone. Players hop from planet to planet assembling the group of classmates. Once together, they learn of an evil sorcerer – a former student of the academy who now has ambitions to destroy reality – and set out to stop him.
Another hot US Version Nintendo DS™ game is shipping today, Magical Starsign is available at US$ 39.90 only.
Game features:
Explore strange planets. Players see the sights of this strange, sci-fi fantasy setting as they uncover the secret behind their teacher’s disappearance in this epic role-playing game.
The stylus controls everything, from combat to conversations to outfitting allies. Simple controls make it easy to play but a challenge to master.
Players can link up wirelessly with five friends and explore the amigo dungeon together – they’ll find unending challenges and incredible rewards as they delve into the depths of this unique multiplayer experience.

Activision has released a playable demo of Neversoft's Tony Hawk's Project 8 onto Xbox Live Marketplace.
Weighing in at 340MB, the demo takes place in the Concrete Park section of the game and gives you the chance to try out the new "Nail the Trick" thingy, which apparently involves using the analogue sticks in new and interesting ways.
There's also a "Filmer" goal, where you have to perform tricks for a cameraman, and "Spot Challenges", which involve performing certain tricks when you come across them.
Tony Hawk's Project 8 is due out on Xbox 360 in mid-November, with PS2, Xbox and PSP versions also due out around then and a PlayStation 3 version also in development. ...by Published on October 23rd, 2006 11:08
New from Divineo UK
To Maximize the cooling effect on the Xbox 360,we design the 2nd fan (the XCM add on fan) to work with the XCM high speed air cooler,after adding this add on fan, the temperature of CPU and GPU of xbox 360 console can be decreased an additional of 3-5 Celsius.the XCM high speed air cooler with add on fan will be the best cooling system for the xbox 360.
Other external fan only exhausts the heat and make the loud noise, XCM high speed air cooler add on fan expels heat to the exhaust fan and the exhaust fan exhausts all the heat out of the console,it is the best efficient air cooler and quiet in working as well. ...- Search DCEmu
