bsnes, one of the best SuperNES emulators out there (which is also multi-platform) has been updated to 0.033 (Windows port only).
New in this version is the SPC7110 support, which renders graphics packs useless (where they were previously required for games like Far East of Eden Zero or FEoEZ: Shounen Jump Edition).
Here's the changelog:
| This release adds SPC7110 emulation, without the need for graphics packs!!, and a rewritten S-RTC (real-time clock) emulator. SPC7110 support means that Far East of Eden Zero, FEoEZ: Shounen Jump Edition, Momotarou Dentetsu Happy and Super Power League 4 are now all fully playable. I will warn you, the emulation is very slow in this version -- while most areas of each game will run at the same speed as other games, there are a few peak moments where speed will drop by up to ~50%. The reason for the slow-down is that I am currently uncertain how to determine the amount of data to decompress in advance, so I default to the maximum amount possible. The reason I am releasing now anyway, is because I beleive in the "release early, release often" paradigm. It will likely take me a few weeks to finish researching this chip, and I didn't want to keep the work I had private during that time. But rest assured, bsnes v034 should feature much faster SPC7110 emulation. neviksti, Andreas Naive and jolly_codger worked non-stop on the SPC7110 decompression algorithm for the past two weeks. caitsith2 provided valuable data to the effort. I only wish that I could've been of some use, but alas, I had no role in this. In the end, it was neviksti who managed to crack all three(!!) compression modes of this chip, which turned out to be a customized 8-bit QM-coder with a prediction model. You can read more about this here. I would also like to thank Dark Force and John Weidman (aka The Dumper) for their research notes on the SPC7110 register interface. For those who don't understand the hoopla about figuring out this compression algorithm when we already had graphics pack simulation, I should note that we have since found a few errors in these packs. Not to mention, you no longer need ~4-16MB packs for each game you wish to run. They work like any other game now. Better still, the chip can now be used to compress new graphics, eg for any future translation efforts on these titles. The real-time clocks in both Far East of Eden Zero and Dai Kaijuu Monogatari 2 will now save a ".rtc" file in your save folder, which contains the clock as set by the video game, as well as a timestamp from your computer when the time was last updated. It uses the difference between the saved timestamp and current time to update the time. This allows you to specify any time you like, whereas previously bsnes would just use your computer's current time, ignoring the time you set in-game. It also allows the "round clock by 30 seconds" option in both games to work. I avoided this before because this method makes supporting daylight savings time and such impractical, although I should note that the original hardware did not support DST, either. This method was required to pass the SPC7110 tests, and is overall much more faithful to how the original chips worked. |

Basilisk II for PSP, a port of the Open-Source 68k Macintosh Emulator for the Sony PlayStation Portable was updated by it's author, J.F (aka Chilly Willy).
Here's what's new on this version:
| I made changes to the non-platform-specific code (particularly the FPU emulation), so I've bumped the version to 1.1. I'll probably make some changes and bug fixes later, so I'm calling this 1.1.0. Two main downloads for the binary and one of the source are available. The larger binary archive comes with a nice BIG guide, so I archived it with 7zip. |
To extract 7zip archives, you'll need WinRAR or 7-zip
You can get the new version over at our Basilisk II for PSP section, here at ZD.
Many thanks to Kojote / PDRoms.de for the news (over IM)

A new version is out for the popular Snes9X emulator, this time from Wii homebrew developer michniewski. Called Snes9xGX, this emulator has support for the Wiimote, as well as the nunchuk and the Wii Classic Controller.
What's neat is that all the controllers in this emulator can be configured. Michniewski also notes that the emulator needs only one global configuration per controller. The emulator even has a GameCube version, although this is still untested.
Be sure to read the documentation included with the download.
Here's Whats New.
[What's New 002]
* added: classic and nunchuk support
* added: all controllers can now be configured
* added: GC version (untested)
* changed: mappings are no longer stored in SRAM, but in config file. This means no per-game configurations, but one global config per controller.
* one makefile to make all versions. (thanks to snes9x143 SVN)
Download From Our Snes9xGX Page

Well hello there. I'm here to make another guide, this one based on playing SNES online. Now, if any of you were here quite awhile ago, you will know I made a tutorial for a program that lets you play SNES online. This one is different, and I'll explain why near the end. I'm going to make this very easy, and put it in a few steps. 1. Download the Classic Gaming Arena Client 2. Register on the Forums. This will be your account for the client. Remember your username + password. 3. Extract the client you just downloaded. 4. Run "registerfiles.bat" 5. Load up cga.exe. 6. Set it up, it is quite self explanitory. Hey. I did that in 6 steps, not bad. Now, as mentioned above, I'll give you a few benefits to using this program. The Benefits -Supports SNES Online: 2 Players [ZSNES] -Supports NES Online: 2 Players [Virtual NES] -Supports Genesis/SegaCD/Gamegear/Mastersystem. [Kegafusion] -Has active admins [If someone is very annoying, they get kicked/banned.] -Has a chat room built in. -Is Peer 2 Peer [Like ZBattle, but supports the above systems. This also means no lag.] And that's what it supports right now. If you don't like what you are hearing - go check out my guide to ZBattle. ------------------------------------------------------------- Additional Tools Since I have mentioned that CGA supports more then a few emulators, I'll post the emulators that it supports. These are direct download links. ZSNES 1.42 [SNES] ZSNES 1.36 [SNES] ZSNES 1.337 [SNES] Virtual NES 0.97 [NES] Kega Fusion 3.51 [Genesis/SegaCD/Gamegear/Mastersystem] ------------------------------------------------------------------- Additional Info This is where you come if you are having some problems doing things. Like any other program in the world, they require you to forward ports for it to work. Here are the following ports required to work: 7845 UDP & TCP [To Play ZSNES & NES] 7157 TCP [To Download From Other Players] 5394 UDP [KegaFusion] |
