Version 1.0
(based on 0.6.3, latest CVS source code)
Ported to GP2X by Senor Quack (Dan Silsby)
This is the definitive port of The Ur-Quan Masters to the GP2X. It is believed to be quite stable (no crashes have ever been reported by users so far and your author has neither ever had a crash.) It runs at full speed in almost every situation at 200mhz, except on planets with ridiculous tectonic or weather
activity, but even then it is near full-speed.
If you have saved games from the ports by foehammer or loki666,
you can copy them into the save folder of this version.
Ur-Quan Masters is an open source port of Star Control II:
(FROM http://uqm.stack.nl/wiki/Star_Control_II):
Star Control II, the sequel to the original Star Control, is a space adventure game that features role-playing elements alongside a robust 2D combat system. It was a milestone for non-linear gaming and an undeniable influence on modern space travel games such as Homeworld; many consider it one of the best computer games of all time. The player assumes the role of the captain of a single starship wandering a detailed environment of solar systems, gradually gathering information and resources in order to defeat a mysterious and implacable enemy; the plot contains numerous mysteries and other half-explained elements that contribute to the beauty of the game,1 along with a rare sense of humor that manifests numerous times, inevitably having the player rolling on the floor laughing.
IMPROVEMENTS IN VERSION 1.0 OVER BETA 1:
----------------------------------------
* GCC4 automatic compiler profiling has been applied to both
the game and the integrated libTremor .OGG decoding library.
* Some sprite handling code has been rewritten to be faster
on ARM architectures.
* 3DO .OGG music files have been re-encoded and downsampled to
22050hz. The GP2X's output isn't very high quality; no one
will notice the difference. .MODs already were 22050hz.
* The above three things allow usage of the planetary lander
at full 24fps speed in almost all cases. No overclocking
or RAM tweak should be needed.
* Volume buttons work. You can set the intial mixer volume
using GMenu2X if you prefer to start the volume lower. The
program will respect the setting. Volume buttons can then
be used in-game. Sound settings in configuration menu can
be used to adjust the relative volume of music/speech/
samples.
* The game can now be installed anywhere you like on the SD.

Uberjack posted this news on his blog:
Thanks to those who submitted feedback about Caprice32, ZIP and multi-disk support will be added in the next release....
SNA files, on the other hand, will not be supported, and here’s why. SNA files are not proper cartridges or disk images - they’re save state files containing a “snapshot” of memory and CPU registers. The Save State tab provides the same functionality (except as an added bonus, it GZip’s the save states, making them a lot smaller).
If you want to convert an existing SNA file to Caprice32 PSP’s save state format, here’s how to do it:
Compress the SNA file with GZip
Pick some PNG image (any in-game screenshot made with Caprice32 PSP will do)
Concatenate the PNG image with the GZipped SNA file in the following order: PNG image, SNA file
Rename the resulting file so that it’s composed of the full name of the disk image (including the extension), plus ‘.sXX’ as an extension, where XX is an integer between 00 to 10. Example: 1943.dsk.s00
Place the file in the SAVEDATA directory, and it will be available when the DSK file is loaded.by Published on November 23rd, 2007 23:57

- [ALL] now it's possible to invert the colors used on screen (so black foreground on white background) trough the "COLOR INVERT = " entry on the
configuration file

8-bit Not Equal : Multiple Skip 0xE1nndddd 0x1aaaaaaa
8-bit Less Than : Multiple Skip 0xE1nndddd 0x2aaaaaaa
8-bit Greater Than : Multiple Skip 0xE1nndddd 0x3aaaaaaa
- [ALL] Changed some buffer sizes in the db loading functions, it should improve the stability when loaded with other plugins

considered

- [GAME] Fixed a conflict of the inverse jocker code with the 8bit test codes. Now the inverse jocker code is 0xD00000dd 0x3nnnnnnn, while before it
was
0xD00000dd 0x2nnnnnnn.
- [GAME] Removed useless checks in the single skip test codes and jocker codes

NB: if you find cheats with single/multiple skip codes which aren't working anymore you may try adjusting the value of +/- 1 and contact me to fix

lxdream, the Sega Dreamcast emulator for Linux, was ported to x86-64 and Mac OS X.
From the official page:
It must be porting week - both the x86-64 and mac ports should (fingers crossed) work out of the box now. (Note that the mac port is intel only, and still requires X11+GTK 2.0 to build). Real native mac support will probably follow slowly as time permits - I’m getting something of a crash course in mac programming at the moment ^_^.
Changes
* Added x86-64 support to the translator
* Initial Mac OS X support (configuration and translator ABI changes)
* Fix buggy TRAPA instruction (translator only - fixes several homebrew games)
* Improve error handling of a few situations (can’t connect to display, etc)
* Esound is now optional (but without it you’re not getting any audio)
* Re-add the “Load Binary” menu entry that somehow got lost in the GUI revamp. ...- Search DCEmu
