Its been a long weekend and the site was down from about 6am on friday morning.

I went into Plesk on Friday and it wouldnt let me reboot the server so i then after a few hours managed to get into SSH to reboot, i clicked typed reboot and then ive no idea what happened but safe to say we had a massive amount of downtime.

I will today catch up with any news missed from this weekend with tons of newsposts

Sorry to all and Thanks to Keith for getting us back up ...

Ok folks, here's the deal

I've taken TMK's pspmame, and i've started taking it to pieces. so far it runs the following games:

Pacman
Flicky
Track&Field
Galaxian

What I want to achieve with this is to release a version of MAME on the PSP with just the *cream* of old titles (roms not included)

So, let me know what games you want to see in there! I'm only going to include games that fall into bth of these categories:

1. They must run FULL SPEED (zero frameskip) on the psp
2. They must not have been released within the past 10 years.

Oh and it works great on 2.01

Got-Next.com has interviewed Hiroyuki Maruyama the president of G.rev (Border Down, Under Defeat). Its and interesting interview, below I have quoted the questions/answers about the Dreamcast

GN: How would you feel about making a console-exclusive title without any arcade release?

HM: It's not out of the question at some point, but for the time being, we don't intend to. If Under Defeat was a console original, and it weren't billed as "the last game for the Dreamcast", it's probably safe to say that in Japan, few people would've noticed it, and it would've quietly disappeared.

GN: Some were surprised to see Under Defeat released for the Sega Dreamcast. Are you happy with the game's sales performance on DC, and do you think it will be made available for other systems in the future?

HM: We weren't planning on it selling much to begin with, so it did surpass our expectations. In the future (at least a year down the road), I can't rule out a port to another console, but at the moment there are no plans to do so. Besides, if we had that kind of time we'd rather just make a new game.

GN: Do you think there's a possibility of future releases for the Dreamcast from G.rev?

HM: Again, it's not out of the question, but it's not our decision alone to make, so it would be very difficult.

Under Defeat was also billed as the "final" Dreamcast release. If we look like we bailed out, then came back just because it sold well, I think that would actually be an insult to Dreamcast players.

Does this mean that Under Defeat could be the dreamcast's last official game? I hope not...

£350 for a dreamcast? they where only £200 when they first came out in 1999! ...

The snes emulator for SEGA Saturn has been optimized a lot in the last weeks. It now uses a homebrew Saturn library (a replacement for the SGL), which takes less cpu time and less RAM space because both are crucial for the snes emu on SEGA Saturn. The fast assembler cpu core from DreamSNES has been ported to Saturn. It's compatibility is not yet as good as with the C core, but the speedup is very good. A lot of unused code could be removed, improving locality and making more high work RAM available. The memory usage has been optimized too, such that ROMs of up to 3.5 MB size can be loaded. Some compile flags did a good job, too. Rendering is now set to palette mode and the Saturn system clock has been increased by 10 percent.

All in all this results in speed being between 2 and 3 times as fast as before. Homebrew SNES Demos are quite fast and sort of playable, with frameskip. The asm core is compatible with more commercial ROMs than I thought and though these are slower in general, some games (like Desert Strike, Contra 3 and others) show the potential to become playable if the GFX rendering could be speed up.

Here are some screenshots (noncommercial ROMs). ...

Hi All,

Caprice32 is one of the best emulator of the Amstrad CPC home computer series running
on Windows and Unix, written by Ulrich Doewich.
This emulator faithfully imitates the CPC464, CPC664, and CPC6128 models (see <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/caprice32">caprice32 project</a>)

I've sucessfully modified, fixed bugs and port the source code of the 4.2.0 version using PSPSDK
environment. It's now working fine on PSP !

It has been developped on linux for Firmware 2.5 using the great GTA eloader (0.97)
from http://www.fanjita.org/, but it should work properly on other firmwares.
I've integrated a 1.5FW binary version (kxploit).

How to use it ? Everything is in the README file.

This package is under GPL Copyright, read COPYING file for more information about it.

This version is an update of the v1.0.1 and here is the change log :

Enjoy,
