New Pictures Of The Chanka Dreamcast Emulator!
This emulator of Dreamcast for Windows, but so that you go you get an idea of how the emulator functions, here they have some screenshots that were taken off of: Sonic 2-1, Sonic 2-2, Unreal, Metropoli Street Racer, Tony Hawk 2 and Jet Grind Radio while playing it with the emulator! These are very well real since most people have now ditched Icarus and are finally other developers are going to make their own dreamcast emulator. I'd say it's about time. This new emulator is called Chanka!

386 updates [Nathan Woods]
src/cpu/i386/i386.c:
- Implemented usage of segment limits (or whatever they are called)
- Implemented 16-bit interrupts
- Initial values of IDTR are now properly specified
- i386_interrupt() is no longer called when i386_set_irq_line() is
called with a state of zero
- Actual cycle count is now returned
src/cpu/i386/i386op16.c:
- Partially implemented far CALL and JMP instruction
src/cpu/i386/i386ops.c:
- Implemented PUSH rm8 instruction
i960 cpu core / disassembler [Olivier Galibert, R.Belmont, Farfetch'd]
SPI Improvements [Ville Linde]
SPI:
- The "old" video hardware (viperp1) does have 3
layers after all, but no rowscroll. Fixed.
386:
- Bugfixed Nathan's REP
Fixed YMF271 pitch [Ville Linde]
improves music in Brave Blade

386 updates [Nathan Woods]

(like int 3, illegal instruction etc)
- Added a distinction between invalid and unimplemented instructions.
Invalid instructions raise an interrupt, and unimplemented instructions
call osd_die() for now
- i386_set_irq_line() will no longer raise an interrupt when passed
with state=0
- Various string intructions now use SI/DI instead of ESI/EDI when in
16-bit mode
- Implemented LOCK and RETF
- Fixed a bug in LMSW
- Minor disassembler fixes
Improved PSX sio [smf]

Phil's 'if I get hit by a bus' Namco S22 MLE update [Phil Stroffolino]
TMS32025:
bugfix for lst and lst1 opcodes; the "ignore ARP" hack has been replaced with a better hack, that doesn't interfere with indirect addressing.
Preliminary serial I/O support has been added, to update DRR/DXR on RINT and XINT interrupts. set_irq_line() no longer masks the lines with 0x7; this allows external triggering of RINT/XINT interrupts.
System22 driver changes:
- display list processing is now done by the master DSP
- the slave DSP's in-game graphics processing and "custom render devices" are currently simulated, which works only for Prop Cycle
- support for PDP block-based memory transfers
- support for DSP data/code uploads from main CPU
- support for "Point RAM" and "Point ROM" access
- most self tests are working in Prop Cycle and Ridge Racer (Japan)
- prelim hand-crafted "internal ROMs" for master and slave DSP
- various notes regarding DSP ports/addressing
