Nostlan v1.8 beta0 is released. Nostlan is a high quality front-end launcher for video game emulators! Available on Linux, macOS, and Windows! A front-end or user interface (UI) is the presentation and interaction layer of an app or website. Most modern emulator apps have basic game list UIs that you can interact with using a mouse/keyboard but not a game controller. Nostlan looks similar to media viewers like Kaleidescape and AppleTV. You can interact with it using a mouse or game controller. Unlike other popular front-end launchers for video game emulators, Nostlan has a minimalistic design that prioritizes box art, not metadata.
Features
* unified UI for mouse/gamepad interaction
* designed for UHD displays and projectors
* checks multiple database sites for the highest quality box art
* nostalgic UI themes for each supported console
* uses individual emulators: no cores and no controller input transfer lag
* most controllers connect to Nostlan automatically, no setup required
* Xbox One, PS4 Dualshock, and Switch Pro controllers all supported
* gamecube controller adapter supported with gca-js
* advanced customization: edit launch commands
* try out Nostlan in demo mode if don't have any games on your computer
* cross-platform support for Linux, macOS, and Windows!

The ScummVM Team is pleased to announce a new bugfix release for the 2.1 series - ScummVM 2.1.2, codenamed “Fixing Powerful Windows”. You will notice that this time, our downloads page is not exactly extensive. Don't worry, we are not touching ScummVM's (quite incredible) portability here.
ScummVM 2.1.2 is a maintenance release intended for Windows and Mac OS X, providing some bug fixes for those platforms. Since all other platforms are not affected, you don't need to worry about a seemingly missing update for now.
While browsing the downloads page, you probably noticed a new entry there, especially when browsing our website using a PC running Ubuntu: ScummVM is now officially available at the Snap Store! Thanks to the ongoing support from Alan "popey" Pope and Alan Griffiths, the Snap Store release of ScummVM is now on-par with our other Linux releases. Compared to the traditonal way of distribution software on Linux, we have a lot more freedom in terms of new releases using the Snap Store. The moment we release a new version of ScummVM, you will receive it as an automated update.
The ScummVM Snap comes in two flavours. The "stable" channel contains our official releases which makes it a great choice for most users. In case you want to explore the latest and greatest features of our current development versions, simply follow the "edge" channel and get an updated build each and every day! We also have some pretty neat additions to the Snap Package in mind - but more on that later.
Enjoy, and have fun!

RetroArch v1.8.5 is released. RetroArch is a multi-system emulator for Linux, Windows, Mac OS X and *BSD. It is formerly known as SSNES. Its design and background is quite different than most other emulators as RetroArch does not implement an emulation core itself. RetroArch talks to libretro, a generic emulator core API. This means that RetroArch is core agnostic, and it does not care which emulator core is running.
Currently there are libretro implementations for systems such as SNES, NES, GBA, GB/GBC, Genesis, and even arcade games (Final Burn Alpha).
libretro isn't only usable for emulators. A preliminary port of an open source reimplementation of Cave Story has been ported to libretro as well.
RetroArch believes in modularity. The application itself is a command-line driven application suitable for HTPC and/or headless use. There also exists a GUI frontend for RetroArch, supporting every single config option available in RetroArch.

QEMU v5.0.0-rc0 is released. QEMU is a generic and open source machine emulator and virtualizer.When used as a machine emulator, QEMU can run OSes and programs made for one machine (e.g. an ARM board) on a different machine (e.g. your own PC). By using dynamic translation, it achieves very good performances.When used as a virtualizer, QEMU achieves near native performances by executing the guest code directly on the host CPU. A host driver called the QEMU accelerator (also known as KQEMU) is needed in this case. The virtualizer mode requires that both the host and guest machine use x86 compatible processors.

Bungie believes Google Stadia is the best solution for testing games while its staff are working remotely -- a vital aspect of staying productive during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Speaking to IGN, Bungie COO Patrick O'Kelley discussed the Seattle-based company's response to the outbreak of COVID-19.
Being located in Washington state, Bungie was prepared for short periods of remote work due to being "in an earthquake zone" and in a climate where heavy snow could make travel difficult.
However, the potentially long period of remote work required during the pandemic means that every aspect of game development must be replicated.
"We've set up these beefy laptops -- we call them developer-grade laptops -- for people to work from home so they've been working really, really hard to get those set up so that we have that basically full-on, workstation capability at home for people," O'Kelley said.
"So that's been one of the hardest things -- literally just getting a couple hundred of these machines set up for people to take home.""It's going to be a great way for us to keep getting regular playtests and do it pretty easily"
Patrick O'Kelley
For playtesting -- a crucial part of operating a live-service game like Destiny 2 -- Bungie landed on an unexpected solution.

Virtual reality exclusive Half-Life: Alyx reached 43,000 concurrent users on Steam on launch day.
Niko Partners analyst Daniel Ahmad revealed the figures on Twitter, saying the game was a successful launch by VR standards and had already matched Beat Saber's peaker concurrent users.
However, as one of the best-recognised gaming franchises, Ahmad noted it was clear "the numbers are held back due to the VR requirement."

After less than a week, Steam has once again broken its concurrent user record, reaching 22.6 million according to SteamDB.
"Steam just achieved a new peak concurrent user record of 22 million, one day after reaching 21 million and six days after reaching 20 million," said Niko Partners analyst Daniel Ahmad on Twitter.
"Global lockdowns and self-isolation due to COVID-19 has led to at-home gaming becoming a safe form of entertainment to pass the time."

Whatever else can be said about 2020 so far, the video game release schedule has emerged from its fallow period in fine style. The drought of the early months has been replaced by a deluge: Moon Studios' Ori and the Will of the Wisps, id Software's Doom Eternal, and Nintendo's Animal Crossing: New Horizons, each praised as a high watermark in their respective genres.
Yesterday brought arguably the biggest of all -- in terms of stature if not projected sales. Half-Life: Alyx is the first game in Valve's iconic franchise since 2007, and it's no exaggeration to suggest that this game has been demanded literally every day of the 13 years that have passed since then. The fact that it's both a virtual reality exclusive and doesn't have a "3" in the title are huge caveats, but they don't stop Half-Life: Alyx from being a very big deal indeed.
The former will severely limit the number of people the game can reach, though. The VR market is still very much a niche concern despite years of diligent effort from its major stakeholders, and fans who have waited more than a decade for a new Half-Life game are not entirely happy it will only be available to a small market with such a high cost of entry.
