Actually, my old core-duo ran XP 32-bit, and it had 4 1gig sticks. The bios could see the 4gb, however XP could not see the last stick at all, having it in there or not made no difference whatsoever. I suspect this problem could be specific to certain motherboard brands. In the end, 3GB was fine, but after a few years the motherboard died due to the usual problem of failed electrolytic capacitors. So now for my dev work I have a i7-2600 with 16GB ram (windows 7 64-bit).

Welcome back Ryan!

It was only just over 3 months ago.

MAME release was a day later than planned, but at least some bugs were killed in the interim. * PPSSPP 0.9.9 - http://www.ppsspp.org/downloads.html * MAME and MESS official 0.154 - http://mamedev.org/release.html * MESSUI 0.154 - http://messui.the-chronicles.org/index.html * History.dat 1.54 - http://www.arcade-history.com/index.php?page=download * ThunderMAMEUI32+ (0.153 - 2014.7.24) - http://www.geocities.co.jp/SiliconValley-Sunnyvale/8595/ * Raine 0.63.10 - http://rainemu.swishparty.co.uk/ * MAMEinfo.dat 0.154 - http://mameinfo.mameworld.info/ * MAMEUIFX 0.154 - http://mame32fx.altervista.org/home.htm * Emu Loader 7.6.5. - http://emuloader.mameworld.info/downloads.htm * MAMEUI64 .154 - http://www.mameui.info/ * WolfMAME 0.154 - http://wolfmame.marpirc.net/ * SystemPixelMAME 0.154 - http://www.systempixel.fr/mame/ * QEMU 2.1.0-rc3 - http://wiki.qemu.org/Index.html

We should have been able to announce a new version of MAME, but due to "showstopper" problems, it has been deferred. Some other emulators have seen new releases over the past few weeks, here they are: * History.dat 1.53a - http://www.arcade-history.com/index.php?page=download * Xebra (2014-07-19) - http://drhell.web.fc2.com/ps1/index.html * OpenMSX 0.10.1 (2014-05-01) - http://sourceforge.net/projects/openmsx/files/ * pfeMAME 0.995 (2014-06-14) - http://sourceforge.net/projects/pfemame/files/ * Bochs 2.6.6 (2014-06-15) - http://sourceforge.net/projects/bochs/files/ * Bizhawk 1.7.2a (2014-07-19) - http://sourceforge.net/projects/bizhawk/files/ * My NES 6 (2014-01-09) - http://sourceforge.net/projects/mynes/files/ * Stella 4.0 (2014-07-01) - http://sourceforge.net/projects/stella/files/ * VPinMAME 2.5 (2014-01-09) - http://sourceforge.net/projects/pinmame/files/ * jpcsp r3568 (2014-07-21) - http://www.jpcsp.org/ * Nemulator 3.4 - http://www.nemulator.com/downloads.php * Shareaza 2.7.6.0 (2014-07-18) - http://sourceforge.net/projects/shareaza/files/ * ScummVM 1.7.0 - http://www.scummvm.org/downloads/ * HalfNES 0.56 - https://github.com/andrew-hoffman/halfnes ANNOUNCEMENT - we use software based on IE6 for scanning websites for the latest changes. Some sites (such as github) return a 404 on IE6. As such, we can no longer support these restricted sites, and there won't be any news coverage of new emulators on these sites. If your emulator is on such a site you can (1) have a IE6-compatible page (plain text is ok) for our scanner, or (2) tell us in the Submit us News! forum about your new emulator(s).

10 degrees here, cloudless sky, cold wind. Not too bad for winter. Looks like L.S.D will get no friends in London, UK.

Thanks!

I guess Emsley or Superman would be the best bet... whatever happens, enjoy yourself there

Do we have a winner?

MESS has been fixed so that this game runs in the x68000 emulation.

That's awesome!

4GB is the maximum for a 32bit system (you can put more in, but the OS won't see it). I would regard 4GB is the minimum usable for a 64bit system.

Still using it.

Good to see the old computer is still working after years in the garbage bag.
