 RetroArch v1.6.3 released!

RetroArch is a multi-system emulator for Linux, Windows, Mac OS X and *BSD. It is formerly known as SSNES. Its design and background is quite different than most other emulators as RetroArch does not implement an emulation core itself. RetroArch talks to libretro, a generic emulator core API. This means that RetroArch is core agnostic, and it does not care which emulator core is running.
Currently there are libretro implementations for systems such as SNES, NES, GBA, GB/GBC, Genesis, and even arcade games (Final Burn Alpha).
libretro isn't only usable for emulators. A preliminary port of an open source reimplementation of Cave Story has been ported to libretro as well.
RetroArch believes in modularity. The application itself is a command-line driven application suitable for HTPC and/or headless use. There also exists a GUI frontend for RetroArch, supporting every single config option available in RetroArch.
RetroArch v1.6.3 Changelog:
| * IOS: Fix GL regression – 32bit color format cores were no longer rendering
* CHEEVOS: Add support for N64 cheevos and other small fixes.
* CHEEVOS: Add ‘Achievements -> Achievements Verbose Mode’. Ability to display cheevos related messages in OSD, useful for RetroAchievements users.
* AUDIO: Audio mixer’s volume can now be independently increased/decreased, and muted.
* AUDIO: Mute now no longer disables/enables audio but instead properly mutes the audio volume. Mute is also independent from the audio mixer volume.
* INPUT: Add mouse index selection; ability now to select between different mice
* INPUT: Fix ‘All Users Control Menu’ setting
* LINUX: Add a tinyalsa audio driver. Doesn’t require asoundlib, should be self-contained and lower-level.
* LOBBIES: Announce the RetroArch version too
* LOCALIZATION: Add Traditional Chinese translation
* LOCALIZATION: Update French translation
* LOCALIZATION: Update Italian translation
* LOCALIZATION: Update Japanese translation
* LOCALIZATION: Update Russian translation
* MENU: Add ‘User Interface -> Views’. Ability to display/hide online updater and core updater options.
* NETPLAY: Disconnecting one client shouldn’t cause everyone to disconnect anymore
* NETWORK: SSL/TLS support, disabled by default
* SCANNER: Fix PS1 game scanning
* SCANNER: Move content list builder into scanner task with progress, fixes menu freeze with large playlists
* SDL2: Fix ‘SDL2 driver does not see the hat on wired Xbox 360 controller”
* SETTINGS: Fix regression ‘Custom Viewport is no longer overridable per-core or per-game’
* VITA: Add cheevos support
* VITA: Add support for external USB if mounted
* WAYLAND: Fix menu mouse input
* WII: Add support for single-port ‘PS1/PS2 to USB controller adapter’

Cemu is a Nintendo Wii U emulator that runs commercial games. Highly experimental software to emulate Wii U applications on PC.
Cemu v1.8.2b Changelog:
# New in 1.8.2b:
CPU/JIT: Fixed crash that could occur during instruction analysis
misc: Added some exports for Cemuhook
# New in 1.8.2:
| general: Any .rpl files placed in cafeLibs/ directory will be loaded instead of the internal HLE modules (experimental feature, no real use yet)
general: Cemu window can now be resized
CPU/JIT: Fixed a bug in recompiler SRWI instruction
CPU/JIT: Fixed a bug that could cause the recompiled code to skip an instruction if the thread was switched between the beginning of a loop and an inlined function
CPU/JIT: Added STBUX instruction to recompiler
CPU/JIT: Several other optimizations for the recompiler:
Use AVX non-destructive 3-operand instructions to optimize some copy operations away
Delay/Avoid endian-swapping between LWZ/STW if the data is not used for any other operation
Generate shorter code for BCTRL, BL, BLR and other far branches (2 instructions, only 1 for far branches with no LR update)
Replace branches with conditional moves (CMOVcc) if possible
Avoid redundant FPR loads and stores
Better detection for situations where x64 flags can be used instead of testing CR bits
Avoid extra work of thread scheduling checks in tight non-infinite loops
coreinit: New API OSTryAcquireSpinLockWithTimeout(), OSSwitchFiberEx(), MCP_Open(), MCP_Close()
coreinit: More accurate emulation of foreground bucket memory and it's subregions
coreinit: FSOpenDir() no longer ignores the current working directory
coreinit: Fixed integer overflow in OSTicksToCalendarTime()
AX: Added AX voice debugger
AX: Fixed biquad filter
AX: New API AXSetVoiceSamplesAddr(), AXSetVoiceLoopOffset()
GX2: Improved detection of changed data for typical screen-size textures in texture cache (fixes softdec videos)
GX2: Fixed invalid GLSL code being generated for 3D texture access with offset
GX2: Fixed bug in indices generation for PRIMITIVE_RECTS
GX2: Fixed a bug where adding entries to a shader cache .bin archive would sometimes have no effect (causing Cemu to recompile the affected shaders everytime)
GX2: Various smaller optimizations throughout the graphic backend (performance gain 1-3%)
GX2: Added support for tileMode filter in graphic packs texture rules (Useful to exclude video frames or other CPU-accessed textures)
GX2: Aspect ratio calculation now uses effective size of texture (after graphic pack rescaling) rather than original size

MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. When used in conjunction with images of the original arcade game's ROM and disk data, MAME attempts to reproduce that game as faithfully as possible on a more modern general-purpose computer. MAME can currently emulate several thousand different classic arcade video games from the late 1970s through the modern era.

disassembler
assembler (change code and ability to save modified rom)
breakpoints
break on access
conditional breakpoints
singlestepping/tracing/animating/step out/step over

fMSX v5.0 released!
Posted by azoreseuropa @ 07:17 PM CET | Comments: 0 | Site

fMSX is a program that emulates MSX, MSX2, and MSX2+ 8bit home computers. It runs MSX/MSX2/MSX2+ software on many different platforms including Windows, Android, Symbian, MacOS, Unix, MSDOS, AmigaOS, etc. I started developing fMSX in 1993 when there were only two other MSX emulators available, both exclusively for MSDOS. From the very beginning, I developed fMSX as a portable program able to run on many different computers. The initial development, for example, was done on DEC Alpha workstations running Unix. Since then, fMSX has seen quite a lot of updates and been ported to many systems. It is still being developed, although not as actively as before because most features are pretty much complete now.
fMSX v5.0 Changelog:
|
* Switched to microseconds in the AY8910 PSG emulation.
* Now updating, rendering, and playing sound every 8 scanlines.
* The PLAY "S8M90O6G" MML test works now.
* Added support for DirectInput joysticks to fMSX-Windows.
* Fixed crash when changing audio sampling rate in fMSX-Windows.

XEBRA/ARBEX 2017/07/11 released!
Posted by azoreseuropa @ 10:59 PM CET | Comments: 0 | Site

Xebra is a progressing Japanese Playstation(PS) emulator for Win32.
Xebra (2017/07/11) Changelog:
| ① Slightly reduce data volume
In GTE, division is performed by reciprocal integration, and its inverse value is inferior in accuracy
It was obvious that the common value for each group was refined.
However, the calculation formula for refinement was unknown.
(There is only the Newton's law or the Gold Schmidt method as the theoretical formula
When dealing with integers, how to round numbers is arbitrary by the designer,
It can not be theoretically derived)
Although it was unknown, it is not a large amount of data for software on PC
I wish I could prepare the whole number as an immediate value table.
(This is effective also in terms of reducing the amount of computation at the time of execution)
When checking the calculation formula of the refinement indicated by nocash this time, since we saw an agreement in total,
I decided to adopt the calculation formula.
As an actual utility, compressed data which was 4000 bytes in old algorithm,
It is reduced to 257 bytes with the new algorithm.
Although the normal distribution data used by the SPU was held for all the sections,
Because it is bilaterally symmetrical, we deleted the half section.
② Center display of screen at startup
