A late xmas pressie from the MAME team comes with a new release of the best arcade emulator on the planet, heres the release news:
Multiple arcade machine emulator for Windows has been updated. Changes:
It’s a bit late for Christmas, but MAME 0.193 is ready today. First of all, let’s get the disclaimers out of the way. We’ve switched to GCC 7 for Windows binaries, and started requiring SSE 2 (Pentium 4, Opteron, Athlon 64, or equivalent) for 32-bit Windows binaries. In the unlikely event that either of these changes causes issues for your use case, you’ll have to build from source. There’s currently an issue with overlay artwork not being displayed when using bgfx video output. Unfortunately we haven’t been able to address this in time for the release. As a workaround, we recommend using Direct3D or OpenGL video output for systems that use overlay artwork (this includes many handheld/tabletop games, Space Invaders, and the Vectrex console). You can track progress on this issue at MAME Testers.
And now, the stuff you’ve all been waiting for: the highlights. We’ve added support for a whole lot of Tiger handhelds based on licensed IP in this release, including the unmissable MC Hammer, Batman Forever, Nightmare Before Christmas, and Robocop 2. We’ve also added some of Tiger’s handheld renditions of popular games from other platforms, like Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter II, Battletoads, and Space Harrier II. On the arcade side, newly working games include prototypes Calcune and In Your Face, a location test version of Teki Paki, PGM2 titles Oriental Legend 2 and Knights of Valour 2 New Legend, and a number of beatmania IIDX titles.
Computer fans don’t need to feel left out this Christmas, either. The Agat-7 floppy drive emulation has been improved to the point where it’s considered working, and the internal HP-9845 printer is now supported. If you’re at all interested in the FM Towns, you need to give this release a try, as r09 has made numerous improvements to sprites and scrolling, and greatly improved keyboard behaviour. There are also some big software list updates across a number of systems.

Heres another new version of the DOS Emulator for WIndows, heres whats new:
DOSBox-X (2017/12/24) Christmas Eve is released. DOSBox-x is a branch of DOSBox v0.74. DOSBox emulates an Intel x86 PC, complete with sound, graphics, mouse, joystick, modem, etc., necessary for running many old MS-DOS games that simply cannot be run on modern PCs and operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista, Linux and FreeBSD.
DOSBox-X Changelog:
IMGMOUNT now supports .HDI disk images. You can now directly mount most HDI images PC-98 games are distributed in to a drive letter.
Disk image support can now handle both IBM PC MBR and PC-98 IPL partition tables.
EMS page frame no longer strictly fixed to E000h. In PC-98 mode, the page frame is moved to D000h to avoid conflict with the EGC 4th bitplane at E000h.
UMB fixed not to overlap with EMS page frame, which should help with some crashes.
Windows builds now use a script to better automate these Windows releases.

Heres a new version of the MAME variant that just features on Pinball games, heres the release news:
Visual PinMAME v3.0 is released. PinMAME emulates the hardware found in almost every solid state pinball machine created from the mid 1970's through 2014.

*** GENERAL ***
Extend and update some parts of the .txt documentation files
*** CORE/CPU ***
Add support for the Stern S.A.M. platform (e.g. Stern releases from 2006-2014), special thanks for improvements to the community, notably to Arngrim, CarnyPriest and especially DJRobX
Correct SP0256 speech for IDSA games (needs additional sp0256-al2.bin file to work (for Basketball and V-1, only the latter features speech though))
Fix reset / NMI handling for IDSA V-1
Fix Stern SB300 noise generator regression (and slightly improve sound over older implementation, but still not accurate)
Fix Rescue 911 (and maybe more: SFII, WCS, Shaq, mZOIS?) DMD brightness level mapping regression
Improve Punky Willy sound emulation
Fix sound for Taito Sure Shot (sounds awful, but like the real thing  ) and Mr. Black (Z-80 version still misses sound rom dumps though) (NMI line needs to be pulsed for these games)
Make speech work for Taito Vegas and Lady Luck - working around a strange PIA issue
Fix COP420 emulation, sound works now on Zira
Add emulation pause support for alternate sound

Heres an emulator that i am not too familiar with so instead of talking rubbish, ill give you the release info:
QEMU v2.11.0 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.

DOSBox-X (2017/12/22) is released. DOSBox-x is a branch of DOSBox v0.74. DOSBox emulates an Intel x86 PC, complete with sound, graphics, mouse, joystick, modem, etc., necessary for running many old MS-DOS games that simply cannot be run on modern PCs and operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista, Linux and FreeBSD.
DOSBox-X Changelog:
Directories on the host that contain a file who's name is non-representable in the guest no longer cause directory enumeration to fail entirely, all representable files will show up
SDL 2 builds now use a different filename for the saved mapper file
SDL 2 builds: mapper interface now responds to touchscreen as well as mouse
"Overlay" output removed, there's no point to having it
Added WinPCAP headers, which also enables NE2000 emulation for Windows builds if WinPCAP is installed.

Heres a new version of the Apple II emulator for Windows:
AppleWin v1.26.3.6 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.

WinUAE one of the major emulators from the emulation scene has been updated, heres whats new:
WinUAE v3.6.0 Beta 13 is released. WinUAE is the commodore amiga emulator for Windows. WinUAE is a mostly complete software emulation of the hardware of the Commodore Amiga 500/1000/2000. A Commodore Amiga, for those who don’t know, is a 16/32 bit computer system based on the Motorola 680×0 CPU and a few specially designed custom chips that provide very good graphics and sound capabilities. Its first incarnation, the A1000, appeared in 1985, followed by the highly successful A500 and A2000 models. WinUAE is a port of the originally written for Unixish systems UAE; but over time, it seems the Windows port, WinUAE has become the best version available on any platform. WinUAE is free software: you are welcome to distribute copies of it and/or modify it, under certain conditions. There is no warranty of any kind for UAE. For more details concerning these issues, please read the GNU General Public License, which describes the terms under which WinUAE is distributed.

Its the release of another great emulator and this time its the emulator that trys to run windows on Linux systems, heres more info:
WineD3D v3.0 RC1 is relesaed. WineD3D For Windows is a DirectX 1-11 to OpenGL wrapper based on WineD3D, which is an almost full implementation of DirectX used in Wine. Even if Windows supports DirectX natively, using WineD3D can enhance backwards compatiblity with older games, especially on Windows 8 and newer that don't support 16 bit screen modes. Another possible use is to emulate unsupported versions of DirectX, or porting DirectX applications to OpenGL without having to rewrite the rendering code.

2 versions of DosBox in one day, we are being spoilt, heres the release info:
DOSBox ECE SVN r4067 is released. This is a Enhanced Community Edition. DOSBox emulates an Intel x86 PC, complete with sound, graphics, mouse, joystick, modem, etc., necessary for running many old MS-DOS games that simply cannot be run on modern PCs and operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista, Linux and FreeBSD. However, it is not restricted to running only games. In theory, any MS-DOS or PC-DOS (referred to commonly as "DOS") application should run in DOSBox, but the emphasis has been on getting DOS games to run smoothly, which means that communication, networking and printer support are still in early development.
DOSBox ECE differs from normal DOSBox in these features:
* Emulation of a 3Dfx Vooodoo card through OpenGL (No external Glide wrapper needed!)
* 4x, 5x and 6x scaling in windowed mode is possible
* Pixel-perfect output mode for undistorted scaling of the picture
* Improved emulation of OPL3 (a FM sound synthesis chip from Yamaha)
* Improved sound of PC speaker emulation
* Emulation des Roland MT-32-Midisynthesizers
* Integration of Fluidsynth (a software MIDI synthesizer with Soundfont support)
