The JAVA multi-system emulator (Arcade games ,Sega Master System and MSX/MSX2) JEmu2 has been updated.

Chris White finished the Out Run driver, which is now included in JEmu2. It works great, and supports sound as well!
Out Run is a personal favourite of mine, so I´m very happy that it finally made it in JEmu2. Thanks, Chris! Smile
This version also includes a number of little fixes and enhancements in sound rendering and timing.

VICE is a program that runs on a Unix, MS-DOS, Win32, OS/2, Acorn RISC OS, BeOS, QNX 6.x, Amiga, GP2X or Mac OS X machine and executes programs intended for the old 8-bit computers. The current version emulates the C64, the C128, the VIC20, almost all PET models, the PLUS4 and the CBM-II (aka C610).

C128 changes
o Added 2 MHz mode support (experimental).
o The cursor keys are mapped differently in C64-mode now.
o Fixed C64-mode autostart support.
VIC20 changes
o Improved the sound emulation where the ´volume change click´ is concerned, and normalized the audio output level.
VIC-II
o The VIC-II border mode can be selected now (normal, full, debug).
o Some sprite fixes needed for Krestage 3 demo.
Drive changes
o Improved drive LED emulation.
Unix changes
o Fixed the “black screen” bug caused by some X11 library security update.
o Fixed the usb support for bsd based platforms.
o Changed the preferred libdir and docdir for netbsd and freebsd.
o Xaw/XRandR fullscreen mode is supposed to work.
MS-Windows changes
o Positional keyboard mapping is used as default again.
o New volume slider control.
o The win32 port can now be compiled with openwatcom.
OS/2 changes
o The os/2 port can now be compiled with openwatcom.
RiscOS changes
o Added a build script for the RiscOS port and all needed binary files are now part of the source distribution.
AmigaOS changes
o Added netplay support for AmigaOS3 port.
o Added netplay support for AROS port.
o New VICE Volume control for all ports.
C1541 changes
o Fixed some unlynx bugs.

OldSpark C++ is a new multi arcade emulator written in C++ and using the SDL libraries. It is a complete rewrite of the Java version from the same author. You can download the sourcecode and binaries for Windows and Linux.

OldSpark C++ is a complete rewrite of my Java Oldspark emulator. It´s a multi arcade emulator written with C++and based on the SDL. This open source emulator is released under GPL. See License.txt for more information about the license. The emulator is available for Linux, and Windows. At this stage, the emulator is a command line application. It should not be a problem for people looking for nostalgia Smile The idea behind osmose is not to become an object oriented MAME. I wrote it for the fun, and nothing else.

Note: OldSpark C++ expects the roms to be in the directory . oms in zipped format. Romset are identical to the MAME romset.

What´s emulated:

-Z80 cpu.
-M6809 cpu.
-SN76489 signal generator.
-AY-3-8910 signal generator.
-Namco Sound wave generator.
-Multiple 76489 sound board.
-Z80 driven multiple AY-3-8910 sound board.
-Z80 driven multiple SN76489 sound board.

Video filters (2x):

-bilinear
-tv
-nn2x (nearest neigboorh).
-scale2x
-scale2xscanline

MAMETesters Bugs Fixed
———————-
boogwing0118yel [Aaron Giles]

Source Changes
————–
Fixed behavior of auto_realloc() so that it always reallocs from its
original pool. [Atari Ace]

Fixed divide-by-zero when running with -video none in some cases.
[Atari Ace]

ARM7 core fixes: [R. Belmont, Ryan Holtz]
- Fixed behavior when R15 is the source of a MOV
- Fixed flags calc for ADC/SBC
- Fixed flags calc for NEG
- Fixed flags calc for CMP
- Fixed time running backwards on Thumb instructions
- Fixed some ARM instructions doing indiscriminate change_pc()s

Fixed converting CD´s containing audio that were ripped by cdrdao,
which was broken recently. The code is cleaner and more maintainable
now. [smf]

Fixed chdman_open() “w” to always create/truncate the file, leaving
“r+” to try opening first and then truncating. This matches behavior
in the core. [smf]

Added missing port 3/4 to M6803 cpu core. [Curt Coder]

Changed 6850ACIA to use MSB/LSB read handlers. [Curt Coder]

Fixed two minor bugs in the COP400 CPU disassembler. Hooked up the
internal 64 bytes of DATA RAM to the core. [Andrew Gardner]

Added support in the debugger for reading/writing memory without
translation. [Olivier Galibert]

MSM6242 updates: [Ernesto Corvi]
- Added support for 12/24 hour mode
- Added support for the HOLD bit

Galaxian driver updates: [stephh]
- fixed ´spcdraga´ GFX ROMS loading
- 100% verified Dip Switches for all sets
- added long notes for all sets

Significantly revamped the tilemap rendering code. There are now only
two tilemap types, based on whether or not you want transparency
based on pen or color. All existing tilemap effects are built on top
of these two modes. The internal tilemap handling code has been
reorganized and simplified in a number of cases. For most games, this
change is transparent (har har), apart from the change in tilemap
type values. Several concepts within the tilemap system now have
different terminology for clarity and to remove some ambiguous naming
(´priority´, for example, was overloaded). A small tutorial and better
documentation is now present at the top of tilemap.h and provides
more details of the changes. [Aaron Giles]
