According to a new AP-AOL Games poll, 40 percent of American adults play games on a computer or a console. Men, younger adults and minorities were most likely to play those games.

Among those who describe themselves as gamers, 45 percent play over the Internet. And more than a third of online gamers spent more than $200 last year on gaming, compared with nearly a quarter of those who don't play games online.

Online gamers also spent more time playing those games.

Forty-two percent of online gamers said they spent at least four hours playing games during an average week, compared with 26 percent of those who don't play online. About one in six online gamers play more than 10 hours a week.

The survey results come as Sony Corp., Nintendo Co. and Microsoft Corp. prepare to push their new consoles this week at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles. All three are hoping to make broad online features such as multiplayer games, video conferencing and downloadable content a core element of the video game experience.

One of Japan's most well-known development tool providers is on board with Wii. CIR Middleware, maker of the popular ADX and Sofdec sound and video libraries, has started official support for Nintendo's "new generation" console via four libraries: CRI ADX, CRI Sofdec, CRI Sound Factory and CRI ROFS.


Of these, ADX and Sofdec should be most recognizable to gamers, as logos for both have been appearing at the startup of games as far back as the Sega Saturn. ADX allows for at most 16 simultaneous audio streams, as well as support for the playback of streams from multiple audio files. Sofdec allows for multiple movies to be displayed simultaneously, with video streams even used for textures.
On Wii, Sofdec will compress a 10 minute, 6Mbps (megabit per second) bit rate movie to 450MB. The Wii implementation will support 60 frames-per-second progressive movie playback.

The other two libraries aren't as well known. CRI Sound Factory is a sound authoring system. CRI ROFS is provides a virtual file system to developers.

All four development libraries are currently available for other game systems. ...

Critical has updated the Snes emulator for the Gizmondo, heres whats new:

NEW STUFF: transparency back on by default. Option to switch it off, along with sound emulation (menu options now exist). Load/Save states implemented as described below.

Up and Down on the joypad in the main menu select the menu item.
When on the ROM selector menu item, left and right select the ROM to load when PLAY is pressed.

Load/Save state operations may only be performed when the emulator has loaded a ROM and is paused.
This means that you should load a ROM as normal, then press HOME to go back to the main menu. You may now select either LOAD/SAVE state. Pressing PLAY performs that action.
