WinSTonX v7 released

By Mooney, July 6, 2007

Atari ST Emulator port for XBox

What's new:

- Bug fix for Automation version of R-Type

- Brought up to date with most recent core UI features
(garbage directory, slo-mo, video fixes, etc, etc, etc)

- Rewind disabled because there is too much data to save for each frame
so it's slow to the point of being un-usable.

Ootake 1.13 released

By Robert, July 6, 2007

TG16 / PCE emulator

2007/07/06 1.13 released
- The sprite display processing was improved, and "Fighting Run" came to operate. (I got material information to operate from PC2E author's Mr.Ki. Thanks very much.)
- Operation speed & timing of CPU has been elaborately adjusted. In a lot of games, I think that it approached a real machine by the timing of the sound of the demonstration scene. And in "Snatcher", the freezed trouble (generated from v1.11) was solved.
- In "Kaze no Densetsu Xanadu II" and "Exile", the display order of the screen was corrected. (This bug was generated from v1.11.)
- In "Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire", the bug that the screen advances early (generated from v1.11) was corrected.
- Additionally, a detailed part has been improved and corrected.

Microsoft extends 360 Warranty to 3 Years...

Microsoft Admits Hardware Issue, Extends 360 Warranty

Includes retroactive reimbursement for previous machines.

By Patrick Klepek, 07/05/2007

Microsoft announced today they are extending all Xbox 360 warranties to three years, a policy that not only applies to new consoles but retroactively, as well. If you've had to pay for Microsoft to repair the red ring issue in the past, they will pay you back. At 2:30 p.m. PST, Microsoft will hold a teleconference to announce this.

"As a result of what Microsoft views as an unacceptable number of repairs to Xbox 360 consoles, the company conducted extensive investigations into potential sources of general hardware failures," said the company in a statement. "Having identified a number of factors which can cause general hardware failures indicated by three red flashing lights on the console, Microsoft has made improvements to the console and is enhancing its Xbox 360 warranty policy for existing and new customers."

This comes just after 1UP's own story about a man who's gone through 12 different machines since purchasing an Xbox 360 near launch, reports overseas of companies refusing to repair the hardware because the load is so overwhelming and responses from the Forza Motorsport 2 team about users experiencing hardware failures while trying to play that game.

"The majority of Xbox 360 owners are having a great experience with their console and have from day one. But, this problem has caused frustration for some of our customers and for that, we sincerely apologize," said Robbie Bach, president of Microsoft's Entertainment & Devices Division. "We value our community tremendously and look at this as an investment in our customer base. We look forward to great things to come."

Microsoft says they'll be taking a "$1.05 billion to $1.15 billion pre-tax charge to earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 for anticipated costs under its current and enhanced Xbox 360 policies."

Ouch.
