MESS is a emulator which emulates a large variety of different systems.

• System Driver Changes:
   
  
• [APPLE2] Changed joystick default key mapping so not conflict with keyboard mappings.  [Nate Woods]
   
  
• [APPLE2] Fixed a regression that could cause the screen to flash under certain situations.  (bug #634) [Nate Woods]
   
  
• [APPLE2] Fixed a regression that prevented certain Apple II models from booting introduced in MESS 0.91.  (bug #635) [Nate Woods]
   
  
• [APPLE2] Complete rewrite of Apple II banking.  [Nate Woods]
   
  
• [APPLE2] Driver will now accept.dsk images with up to eight extraneous bytes.  (bug #638) [Nate Woods]
   
  
• [COCO] Added support for The Rat graphics mouse.  (bug #639) [Tim Lindner]
   
  
• [PC200] Fixed driver to successfully boot.  [John Elliott]
   
  User Interface Changes:
   
  
• [WINDOWS] Toggling the menu bar will no longer change the window size.  [Nate Woods]
   
  Imgtool Changes:
   
  
• Created a new Apple ProDOS Imgtool driver (only reading supported for now.)  [Nate Woods]
   
  Source Changes:
   
  
• The core is based on MAME 0.92.  This incorporates all features of the update to this core.  [MAME team]
   
  
• Changed core to support multiple devices of the same IO_* enum value.  Note that when this is the case, indexing devices with calls that assume a one to one mapping like image_from_devtype_and_index() are no longer legal.  [Nate Woods]
   
  
• [Windows GUI] Fixed a regression that could cause INI files to be erroneously written to the main directory.

Updated Mahjong drivers to use new default controls [James Wallace]

 

Updated Gladiator driver [Nicola Salmoria]

- verified with schematics (though the schematics are very hard to read

  so there are still dubious places)

- converted to tilemaps, fixed scrolling

- simplified tile decoding

- flip screen support

- fixed spriteram size (this fixes gladiatr36rc2gre)

- support for sprite dual buffer (this fixes sprite trails)

- adjusted YM2203 mixing levels so bass notes can still be heard (the

  audio mixing stage has some program controlled filters though which

  aren't supported)

- merged with ppking, drivers/ppking.c is no longer needed

- proper blending of the fg layer (it's a palette effect not alpha

  blending)

Gens is a Sega Genesis, Sega-CD, 32X emulator for Windows.

• Fixed a display corruption/flickering bug with DirectX that would often occur when switching between windowed and full-screen.
   
  
• Fixed a bug in regards to restoring windowed state (minimized/maximized/etc) when switching between windowed and full-screen; sometimes Gens would not switch out of full-screen properly.
   
  
• New build process for win32 version, using MS VS.NET (VC70) with performance optimizations. Resulting binary is larger, but runtime performance appears better. Probably runs more smoothly on slower machines.

DSemu is a GBA emulator & soon to be DS emulator for Windows.

"The ARM instruction validator that mic's working on grows all the time. It has 4 screens now! And after a bit of hacking (most notably, fixing rotated-operand LDR to actually rotate the carry in for RRX), I get green lights across the board. I've been assured that Gebea and sGBA do just as well, though, so I still have better competition.

 

I've packaged the all new ARM-wrestler ROM into the download Zip, so head over to Downloads and try it out."
