• ui.c, boot.h: "Make Blank Boot Disk" added to "Disk Management", inspired by LNG (lng.sourceforge.net). It creates a blank boot atr file. Before you can use this blank disk, you must format it. Patch by 'maddoxik' (whoever he is, didn't supply real name).

Xmame and Xmess 0.96 have been released for Unix/Linux.

Fixed the RGB to YUV conversion used by the Xv driver so that it

conforms to the CCIR digital component video specifications. Fixes

Bugzilla bug 691. (Alex W. Jackson)

 

The rows of the OpenGL bitmap used for 16bpp games are no longer

misaligned in some cases; nagano98 now displays without doubled

lines.

 

The behavior of "-listgamelist" should once again match the Windows

side with regard to case-insensitive sorting and the treatment of

leading "The" and "Le".

 

When a specific joystick device is designated with "-joydevname

(-jdev)", it is now always treated as the player 1 joystick.

 

The built-in profiler works again. (Colin Howell)

 

The X11 build now properly sets the standard window properties.

(Christian Birchinger's friend)

 

This is in addition to the mame and mess changes.

I was performing my morning combing through Slashdot and came across this news article:

The first real Gameboy emulator has just been released for the PSP. It currently only works with the Japanese 1.0 PSP and doesn’t have sound support – but it’s amazing how quickly these homebrew apps are being developed.

It then links to this forum post where the author has this so say:

Ladies and gentlemen, hello. I am Japanese who one of the PSP fans.

GB emulator for PSP was released by Mr. MIRAKICHI in 2ch that was

the most famous forum in Japan a little while ago.

 

It links with the file.

Please rename a GAME ROM to ROM.GB and put it to the same folder as EBOOT.PBP. In the firm only version 1.00, operation is confirmed.

Please enjoy it!!!

It's be pointless to download it since it only works with Japanese PSPs (but I thought there was no region lock?). But this is a good start to put that PSP to some real use.
