WinUAE v3.6.0 Beta 13 - Amiga Emulator for Windows

December 17th, 2017, 22:03 Posted By: wraggster

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.

WineD3D v3.0 RC1

December 17th, 2017, 21:55 Posted By: wraggster

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.

DOSBox ECE SVN r4067

December 17th, 2017, 21:53 Posted By: wraggster

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)

DOSBox-X (2017/12/16)

December 17th, 2017, 21:15 Posted By: wraggster

Heres a new version of the Dos Emulator for Windows, replay the classic games of yesteryear:

DOSBox-X (2017/12/16) 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:
PC-98 support: Released binaries now include FREECG98.BMP
Build configuration updated so that released binaries can run under Windows XP
SDL 2.x touchscreen vs guest pointer integration bugfix for Windows
SDL 1.x mouse event handling fixed to properly report mouse motion before button events, which fixes guest pointer integration
SDL 1.x rate-limit mouse motion detection on Windows to prevent random large jumps in your games. On Windows 10 SetCursorPos() no longer has an immediate effect which breaks the traditional mouse motion detector technique when the message pump is run too often.
Simple core now defers to normal core when paging is enabled, instead of auto-switching from simple core
Simple core fixed to range-check instruction pointer against system memory, to avoid segfaults when CS:IP is beyond available memory (such as, when DOSBox-X is beginning execution of the BIOS).

fMSX v5.2

December 16th, 2017, 00:03 Posted By: wraggster

Heres a new release of the MSX Emulator for Windows:

fMSX v5.2 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 v5.2 Changelog:
Fixed DirectInput joysticks support in fMSX-Windows.
Made directional pads work on XBox gamepads.
