    Take-Two's detective thriller L.A. Noire has retained the number one spot in the UK software chart in a week which saw the biggest new release, Bethesda's Hunted, only manage fourteenth. It's the game's third week in first place.

    Hunted was the only well-publicised boxed release, with PC-only expansion back The Sims 3: Generations beating the RPG by four places with a tenth placed debut.

    LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean has swapped places with Codemasters' DiRT 3 as it climbs back to second, with Zumba Fitness, Brink and Wii Sports Resort maintaining fourth, fifth and sixth respectively.

    Positions in the chart are unlikely to remain as stable next week, when Infamous 2 and Red Faction: Armageddon hit stores, as well as the notorious Duke Nukem Forever.

    News via http://www.emucr.com/2011/06/pcsx2-svn-r4713.html

    PCSX2 SVN r4713 is released. PCSX2 is an open source PlayStation 2 (PS2) emulator for the Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems. With the most recent versions, many PS2 games are playable (although speed limitations have made play-to-completion tests for many games impractical), and several games are claimed to have full functionality.

    PCSX2 SVN Changelog:
    r4710
    i18n: new organization of translation in 2 sides: iconized and the others.
    r4711
    cmake: do not compile removed pot files
    i18n: forgot generate_pot.sh in previous commit
    r4712
    3rdparty: remove the heavy (+90MBytes) SDL test directory. Completely useless and save us few minutes of download
    r4713
    microVU:
    - Reimplemented mini/max opcodes using integer comparison operations instead of double comparison. This results in a bit less code and integer operations tend to be faster than double ops (especially on AMD cpus). Thanks to pseudonym for the idea!
    - Fixed some minor bugs in mVU dev builds.

    pcsx2:
    - Added __fc as a shorthand macro for __fastcall since we already have __ri and __fi macros.

    The PSP retains its lead on the Japanese hardware charts this week, with the 3DS finally starting to show signs of life in two.

    According to the latest Media create figures, reported by Andriasang, the PSP sold 33,609 units during the week beginning 23rd May, up slightly on the 30,463 it managed the week prior.

    Buoyed by the release of One Piece Unlimited Cruise Special, the 3DS came in second with 24,283 sales, well up on last week's 17,240. With Resident Evil: Mercenaries out in Japan this week and Ocarina of Time following on the 16th, Nintendo will no doubt be hoping its slow-off-the-blocks portable can maintain that forward momentum.

    Elsewhere, there was hardware growth across the board following last week's dismal numbers. Here's how things shaped up:

    PSP: 33,609 (Last week: 30,463)
    3DS: 24,283 (17,240)
    PS3: 15,987 (12,935)
    Wii: 7,438 (6,269)
    DSi LL: 5,197 (5,176)
    DSi: 5,106 (4,938)
    X360: 2,303 (2,186)
    PS2: 1,274 (1,129)
    DS Lite: 139 (158)
    PSP go: 76 (65)
    The aforementioned One Piece title took the top spot in the software chart, and by some margin. The Nintendo-published Wii action adventure Pandora's Tower debuted at three, one ahead of last week's number one Akiba's Trip.

    The full top 10 looked like this:

    One Piece Unlimited Cruise Special (Namco Bandai, 3DS): 80,488 NEW!
    Troy Musou (Koei, PS3): 31,428 NEW!
    Pandora's Tower (Nintendo, Wii): 21,445 NEW!
    Akiba's Trip (Acquire, PSP): 16,582 (LTD: 74,732)
    Nobunaga no Yabou Tendou with Power Up Kit (Koei, PS3): 15,456 NEW!
    Treasure Report: Kikai Jikake no Isan (Namco Bandai, DS): 14,304 NEW!
    Dragon Quest Monsters Joker 2 Professional (Square Enix, DS): 13,974 (508,767)
    Patapon 3 (SCEJ, PSP): 9,134 (104,475)
    Iza Shutsujin! Koi Ikusa (QuinRose, PSP): 9,008 NEW!
    Pro Baseball Spirits 2011 (Konami, PSP): 8,394 (168,460)

    Rockstar Games' L.A. Noire has remained at the number one spot in the UK sales charts, despite a 43 per cent drop in sales and heavy competition from Codemasters' DiRT 3.

    Last week L.A. Noire became the fastest-selling new IP ever in the UK, allowing it to easily hold off competition from DiRT 3. Codemasters' new title still outperformed its immediate predecessor though, becoming the first game in the series to launch in the UK without the Colin McRae name.

    A total of 67 per cent of sales were for the Xbox 360 version of DiRT 3, with 37 per cent on the PlayStation 3.

    Most of the other top ten titles simply shuffled down to accommodate the new release, although Zumba Fitness saw a 19 per cent increase in sales at number four, and Wii Sports Resort rose by 145 per cent thanks to retail price promotions on the new Wii hardware bundle.

    For similar reasons Mario Kart Wii experienced a 148 per cent rise in sales at number 10, while FIFA 11's 50 per cent increase at number seven can be attributed to build-up to the Champions League final.

    New release from the ScummVM Team

    It has been longer than usual since the last release. Nevertheless the team is happy to announce the release of ScummVM 1.3.0.

    The release is truly feature-rich: in particular we are introducing support for a new platform, WebOS, and adding a set of new games: Urban Runner, Playtoons, Toonstruck, Hugo series, Living Books, Backyard Baseball. We have also continued to work hard on the SCI engine, so Amiga and some Macintosh versions of the games are supported now too. Many of our ports received improvements, and a number of bugs have been fixed in practically every engine. Thus your gameplay should be smoother and more enjoyable.

    ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces the executables shipped with the games, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed!

    ScummVM supports many adventure games, including LucasArts SCUMM games (such as Monkey Island 1-3, Day of the Tentacle, Sam & Max, ...), many of Sierra's AGI and SCI games (such as King's Quest 1-6, Space Quest 1-5, ...), Discworld 1 and 2, Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2, Beneath A Steel Sky, Lure of the Temptress, Broken Sword 1 and 2, Flight of the Amazon Queen, Gobliiins 1-3, The Legend of Kyrandia 1-3, many of Humongous Entertainment's children's SCUMM games (including Freddi Fish and Putt Putt games) and many more.

    You can find a full list with details on which games are supported and how well on the compatibility page. ScummVM is continually improving, so check back often. Among the systems on which you can play those games are Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Dreamcast, PocketPC, PalmOS, AmigaOS, BeOS, OS/2, PSP, PS2, SymbianOS and many more...

    Well its been a busy few days since Martin upgraded not only the server but upgraded the forum to the latest version of Vbulletin and installed many new security features, hopefully this will stop the hacking that has done damage to the name of DCEmu.

    The last few days i have been posting like crazy and now we are back up to date and what a month it has been, if you follow the PSP, DS and Wii scenes you have seen so many new releases, infact i havent seen so much activity in a long time and some genuine great releases, the weeks away has really renewed my passion for homebrew.

    One thing i am going to do is bring back the old sites for archive purposes so that releases especially older ones can be found easy, there are thousands of pages on those sites that form a major history of the site and whilst the new CMS is great theres a need to be able to relive those releases, that is my next task and an ongoing one until they are all online.

    Over the last 4 days i have posted literally hundreds of news items and a couple of hundred Homebrew releases, so if you havent yet then check the forums to catch up on releases you may not have seen before.

    The Homebrew scene seems to be coming out of a dark period where homebrew was just linked to piracy and its good to remember that Homebrew is and never wil be the same as piracy.

    Long Live DCEmu and The Homebrew Scene,

    thanks for your time

    News via http://www.emucr.com/2011/05/spu2-x-svn-r4678.html

    SPU2-X SVN r4678 is released. SPU2-X is a pcsx2 sound plugin for PCSX2.

    SPU2-X SVN Changelog:
    r4678
    SPU2-X: Improved Real-Reverb engine algorithm.

    Before trying this revision, make sure your speakers/headphones are not too loud.

    I have been looking at it for a long while, and I decided it couldn't be just "somewhat similar" to a Schroeder Reverberator.
    The SPU2 designers would have actually used a working design for a reverberator, so chances are they implemented Schroeder's.

    I haven't had the chance to test this code in spu2-x, but the results in the "Impulse Response Analyzer" tool I coded specifically for this, are positive.

    Some tweaks might be needed, because I'm not sure if Neill got the IIR part right or not. ...

    EA has formally announced FIFA 12, "a revolutionary not evolutionary" next step for the series.

    The crux of the "transformation" stems from a Player Impact Engine that EA has been beavering away at for two years.

    "The Player Impact Engine processes decisions continuously in real-time at every point of contact on a player's body to create an infinite variety of natural and believable outcomes in every collision," EA explained.

    These physics also apply to injuries, as the game analyses "the force of the collision and impact on the body". Send a non-fully recovered player out at your own peril.

    We've already seen the results of the Player Impact Engine in a leaked FIFA 12 video.

    However, the Impact Engine will only power the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game. FIFA 12 will also be released on PC, Wii, PS2, 3DS, PSP and the iOS trinity of platforms.

    Complimenting the Impact Engine will be precision dribbling for tight control, tactical defending and pro player intelligence. The latter bestows rudimentary personalities upon footballers. Kaka will apparently be "more likely - and quicker - to pick out a run from a teammate farther away than a player with poorer vision".

    Elsewhere, the Career mode will expand to tell "real-world storylines" that involve player morale, on-pitch form and league position.

    There's a "brand new", customisable menu system tailored towards your choice of arena player, Virtual Pro and favourite club.

    Matches gain a "real-world broadcast look and feel", "dramatically improved lighting", "more authentic crowds" and a new default camera angle.

    On PS3, up to seven people can play FIFA 12 together offline. On Xbox 360, that number is four.

    Online, up to 22 people can play FIFA 12 together in full 11 vs. 11 matches.
