Emu#dreams reports that byuu has worked on bsnes, the Super NES emulator for Microsoft Windows, some more. Below is a quote of what he's posted on his homepage.

I apologize for the lack of updates. The truth is, I've been somewhat worn out / sick the past two weeks, so I haven't really done much work on bsnes. I'm still quite sick now, but I'm trying to get back in gear anyway.

 

That said, I teamed up with Nach to merge our ideas for a new patching format. I don't know what we're going to call the new format just yet, but it is a good deal more optimized than bpf was, while only increasing the format complexity infinitesimally. I wrote a Win32 GUI for the patcher that can both create and apply patches. Also, bsnes can now natively apply the patches (via soft-patching), even when the patch has been zipped. I still need to finalize the changes with Nach, and then I'll post more about that on the main page. And in case I haven't mentioned it here in the past: I have no intentions of adding IPS support to bsnes. If I do, it will absolutely always assume that the IPS patches were created against ROMs with no header, with no exceptions.

 

I also worked a bit more on the new win32 port. I now have a slightly better about dialog box, and a basic dialog designed for the new debugger. It isn't much different than before, as I decided to go with a window-based debugger over a console-based debugger again. Not as powerful, but more user friendly. Absolutely nothing in the new debugger is functional yet, however. You can view a screenshot of it here.

You can visit the official bsnes homepage here.

The Emulation64 Network reports that Alex Zaballa has ported Stella, the Atari 2600 emulator, to the GP2x. Below are the release notes (quoted from The Emulation64 Network).

This is my first port. This is not optimized and a few things could be implemented differently. This port is still in it's early beta phase and needs further work to insure reliability and full functionality. In order to load roms successfully, I am using Selector V0.1 by Kounch © 2005. Both Selector and Stella are covered under the GPL Version 2, June 1991, as is this port. As with all things licensed under the GPL, this software is offered AS-IS with no warranties stated or implied. Use at your own risk. For more information, see gpl.txt included in this package.

There is no official homepage yet, however it is available here and here.
