Heres a new release of the arcade emulator MAME which supports so many arcade systems, heres the release news:
For our April release, we're bringing even more elusive electronic esoterica to light. MAME 0.197 finally includes support for the 1987 version of the Spanish quiz game Master Boy, believed to be Gaelco's first release. There are now drivers for several Neo-Geo MVS variants, exposing different capabilities. Lamp outputs are now supported for The Irritating Maze, bringing the game to life a little more. We've added four more Tiger LCD games, all based on licensed IP: Home Alone, Home Alone 2, Independence Day, and Transformers - Generation 2.
The Sega Model 2 improvements keep coming, with Rail Chase 2 now working. With its protection MCU emulated, Capcom's F-1 Dream is also working. MAME 0.197 adds support for alternate versions and bootlegs of a long list of systems, including Crazy Bonus 2002, Explosive Breaker, Fidelity Excel 68000, Lup Lup Puzzle, Pochi and Nyaa, Renegade, and Silkworm. In addition, there are graphical improvements to Sega ST-V/Saturn, and Magical Tetris Challenge.
There are some nice improvements for computer emulation this month, too. The Acorn Electron has improved video handling and support for the Mega Games Cartridge. The NEC PC-98 CD-ROM software list has been updated with the latest dumps and compatibility status - recent emulation improvements mean more fully supported titles. You can now boot HP-BASIC cartridges on the HP9000/340 series.

fMSX v5.3 is released. fMSX is a program that emulates MSX, MSX2, and MSX2+ 8bit home computers. It runs MSX/MSX2/MSX2+ software on many different platforms including Windows, Android, Symbian, MacOS, Unix, MSDOS, AmigaOS, etc. I started developing fMSX in 1993 when there were only two other MSX emulators available, both exclusively for MSDOS. From the very beginning, I developed fMSX as a portable program able to run on many different computers. The initial development, for example, was done on DEC Alpha workstations running Unix. Since then, fMSX has seen quite a lot of updates and been ported to many systems. It is still being developed, although not as actively as before because most features are pretty much complete now.
fMSX v5.3 Changelog:
- add remaining replay time display and fix several bugs in the replay mechanism. I have also compiled the code with -Wall option and eliminated most of the warnings. Finally, I removed deprecated state saving code and disabled audio interpolation feature by default.

Raine v0.64.15 is released. RAINE is an Emulator for Arcade games. Raine is a M68000 and M68020 arcade game emulator. Raine emulates some M68000 and M68020 arcade games and is mainly focused on Taito and Jaleco games hardware. It started as an experiment with the Rainbow Islands romset, dumped by Aracorn/Romlist. Raine can emulate many nice games now, and new games (previously unemulated) are appearing weekly.
Raine v0.64.15 changelog:
Because someone noticed the fps setting from the game options dialog was not saved per game and he needed it !
So you need to enable 1st « save per game screen settings » in video options, and then the fps setting will be saved with this new 0.64.15, that’s all there is about it !
There is only a windows binary because I can’t build the debian package anymore, I used an old laptop for that, and it’s mostly broken now and I had to update it and it doesn’t use debian anymore, so that’s the end of the debian packages, sorry ! The source is updated and tagged in git though, so you can always build from source with enough courage !

Emu Loader v8.5.2 is released. Emu Loader was created to manage an arcade games emulator called M.A.M.E. With this frontend, you can change practically any option that is available in the emulator, like the screen resolution, sound quality, game options, etc. There are lots of extra features that makes your life much more easier, like the snapshots viewer where all captured images from M.A.M.E. games can be viewed when selecting games.
Emu Loader Changelog:
Fixed
"Image Category Settings" bug fixes (left-overs from old code)
- "Select" category was disabled and its folder selections was never saved on exit
- zipped images cache wasn't rebuilt on exit while in multiple images layouts, causing selected game images to not load
Frontend crash if you try to use "Select" image category
Auditing multiple selected games was not working if any of them use device or bios sets
Wrong system selected in "single system selection" mode (Arcade system selection dialog)
Changed
Preview images panel color/splitter settings moved from "EmuLoader.ini" to "\ini_files\image_category.ini"; no more losing image splitter settings on a fresh install
You can select scan mode and software list build mode when using "Create MAME Software Games List" in main menu "Arcade"
Added
Customize "preview images hint box" appearance (Preferences screen, "Images" tab)
- the hint box shows up when hovering the mouse on top on images panel
- box background color, box frame color and visibility, text color, text shadow color and visibility
- box opacity level (255 is opaque, 0 is transparent)
- settings saved in "\ini_files\image_category.ini" file to avoid loss on a clean install
- new setting "Show Unzipped/Zipped Icon" that display an "image icon" for unzipped images and "zip icon" for zipped images
(easier to spot if the loaded image is unzipped or zipped when hovering the mouse on top of it)
Moved "Update Favorites Profiles" from main menu to "Help" sub-menu since its usefulness has passed; but if you're late into the frontend party, it's still available

QEMU v2.12.0-RC2 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.

NO$X51 v1.5 is released. This project started back in 2001, at that time it's been emulating 80C31/80C51/P8xCE558 single-chip 8-bit microcontrollers, which didn't have too much pratical use as it didn't emulate whatever peripherals (like tape decks, washing machines, servo motors, temperature sensors, etc.). As of 2018 it turned into a fully fledged AMT630A emulator with 320x240 pixel TFT video, and standard 3KEY keypad input, allowing to create/debug AMT630A software...
NO$X51 Features:
The program includes CPU-emulation, assembler, disassembler, debugger, eeprom upload function, this wonderful package can be downloaded.

Heres a release for fans of retro systems:
AppleWin v1.27.2.0 is released. AppleWin (also known as Apple //e Emulator for Windows) is an open source software emulator for running Apple II programs in Microsoft Windows. AppleWin has support for most programs that could run either on the Apple II+ or the Apple IIe. By default, AppleWin emulates the Extended Keyboard IIe (better known as the Platinum IIe) with built-in 80-column text support, 128 kilobytes of RAM, two 5.25-inch floppy disk drives, a joystick, a serial card and 65C02 CPU. AppleWin supports lo-res, hi-res, and double hi-res graphics modes and can emulate both color and monochrome Apple II monitors; later versions of AppleWin also can emulate a television set used as a monitor. Both 40-column and 80-column text is supported.
AppleWin can emulate the Apple II joystick (using the PC's default controller), paddle controllers (using the computer mouse), and can also emulate the Apple II joystick using the PC keyboard. AppleWin can also use the PC speaker to emulate the Apple II's sound if no sound card is available (does not work under NT-based Windows versions). Full screen mode is available through the use of DirectX. Features added to the latest versions of AppleWin include Ethernet support using Uthernet, Mockingboard and Phasor sound card support, SSI263 speech synthesis, hard drive disk images and save states.
AppleWin v1.27.2.0 Changelog:
- [Change #522] SSC: Support ACIA's TX Empty interrupt for both COM and TCP modes.
