Bentley Bear's Crystal Quest and Donkey Kong PK-XM no longer crash.

DEC Rainbow 100 updates: [Bavarese]:

Enabled Corvus hard drives (Patched CP/M 1.x only, requires DRCDUTIL.TD0 driver disk from Maslin archive). See section CORVUS HARD DISK for patch instructions. DOS 2.x and CP/M 2.2 were once supported too, but drivers appear to be lost.
Added info about 6 and 20 MB Corvus drives and how to format/use them under CP/M 1.x.

Added handy ROM filename discrepancy spotter scripts. [Zoe Blade]:

Identifies identical ROMs that have different names in parent and clone sets.

Documented cart internals more thoroughly - descriptions now list PCB types, chip placements/labels, etc. if available.
Added previously missed dumps, fixed some typos.

Added more software list documentation based off new dumps. [Fake Shemp]:

Carts for a2600, megadriv, n64 and snes got redumped recently by TeamEurope; added newfound information to the softlists.
Removed syvalionp2 as it's simply a bad dump of syvalionp.

pc.cpp updates: [rfka01]:

Added Atari PC1 and corrected name of Atari PC3.
Gave standard pccga five slots, so machines with combo cards can have hard disks as well until combo cards are emulated.
Reordered MCFG and ROM entries to match the machine list at the bottom of the file.
Derived NCR PC4i configuration from VGA PC and corrected number of slots.
Made 720K drives standard for laptops which have them.

HyperSpin is a frontend that can launch other programs and emulators from one menu. Without a frontend, you'd have to individually launch each emulator as needed, then find and launch the games you want to play. HyperSpin simplifies this by using a system of menus to launch your emulators and games.

HyperSpin uses real arcade controls to provide simple menu navigation in your arcade cabinet and hides your normal Windows desktop, providing a more authentic arcade experience. HyperSpin can turn your arcade cabinet into a fully functional media center; you can have a jukebox or movie center built right into the same multi-game machine.

Hyperspin can be easy to setup. However, some find it a bit challenging at first. There are numerous text and video tutorials available to answer all of your questions and get you started right away.

Changelog

# Cemu detailed changelog for 1.7.2c
# Patreon release date: 2017-02-16
# Public release date:  2017-02-23

# New in 1.7.2c:

GX2: Fixed a bug in GX2SwapScanBuffers() that could cause the GPU command stream to get corrupted

# New in 1.7.2b:

coreinit: Fixed a crash bug in coreinit initialization code

# New in 1.7.2:

general: Reorganized menu options for better clarity (Some debug option stuff wasn't really for debugging)
general: Added option to choose fullscreen scaling mode (stretch to screen or keep aspect ratio)
general: Default and recommended value for CPU timer option is now 'Host based'

PPC: Thread emulation is now using Fibers. Technically speaking, this change was made to simplify context switching within HLE functions. It allows certain API to behave more similar to the real Cafe OS.

coreinit: Fixed a bug that caused MEMGetAllocatableSizeForExpHeapEx() to return negative values under certain circumstances
coreinit: Fixed a crash bug in MPRunTasksFromTaskQ()
coreinit: Added API MPDequeTask(), MPWaitTaskQWithTimeout(), MPRunTask()
coreinit: Fixed rare deadlock in alarm handler

VPAD: Fixed fullscreen touch input for non-16:9 displays

GX2: Fixed that under certain circumstances GX2WaitTimeStamp() could return immediately due to the low accuracy of the internally used timer (affected only 'Host based timer')
GX2: Added support for texture format R16_G16_B16_A16_SNORM
GX2: Added support for sampler2DRect textures
GX2: Unsupported instructions in a GS Copyshader will no longer cause a crash
GX2: Fixed texelFetch() accessing textures upside-down if ARB_clip_control is used
GX2: Adjusted handling of vsync and flip event to decrease latency
GX2: Optimized texture encoding & decoding
GX2: Optimized frequently used GX2 API
GX2: Optimized various parts of the GPU command processor
GX2: Fixed incorrect mapping of GS->PS attributes if gl_FragCoord is used
GX2: Fixed handling of GS input primitive LINE_STRIP

[close]

Limitations:

Nvidia or AMD video cards only. Will not run on Intel video cards. Currently, only the DRC (GamePad), Pro Controller and Classic Controller are emulated. Keyboard input + USB controllers are supported partially. Windows 7 or above required.

Changelog

PSX: Reduced DualShock rumble latency by 1 frame.
SS: Added multitap emulation, enableable via settings "ss.input.sport1.multitap" and "ss.input.sport2.multitap".
SS: Added steering wheel emulation(for "Virtua Racing", and other racing games that lack 3D Pad analog support).
SS: Added Mission Stick and Dual Mission Stick emulation.
SS: Added 101-key US keyboard emulation.
SS: Fixed hang in "F1 Challenge".
SS: Fixed missing voice acting and related hangs in "Magic Knight Rayearth".
Reworked how input grabbing is handled. The new way uses only one key combo(CTRL+SHIFT+Menu), and will adapt its behavior based on any keyboards being selected on any virtual input ports or not(refer to the documentation for full details). A new setting is added, "command.toggle_grab", and two settings were removed, "command.toggle_grab_input" and "command.toggle_cidisable".
Emulated keyboard(FKB, Tsushin, Saturn) key state is now only updated when input grabbing is toggled on.

GameEx is a complete Home Theatre as well as a front-end for MAME, GameBase, Daphne, PC Games and all command line game emulators.

GameEx started out as a Home Theatre and has massively expanded into much more. The standard version has support for most emulators, Media Center Plug In, Arcade Controls (X-Arcade, Slik-Stik), Native Widescreen and HD support, full touchscreen and tablet support, full integration with GameEx Arcade adding over thousands of flash games, jukebox support (play while playing games), video player, DVD player, picture and slideshow viewer, internet radio, a news reader and more. So, you get the idea; it is much more than a gaming front end.

GameEx offers a premium version with more features

Release Notes

The Setup Wizard no longer runs as administrator. This allows network paths and mapped drives to be selected for path settings more easily. The release adds support for AAE (Another Arcade Emulator) for launching the majority of arcade vector games in place of MAME if desired. The GameEx process is now set as DPI aware fixing windows scaling issues on some setups. Finally this release fixes quite a bad memory leak when displaying video and image previews so an upgrade is highly recommended from the last few versions as this could cause GameEx to crash.
In other news, I have been playing with the GPD Win and another Cherry Trail Atom CPU based system. GameEx runs very well on these systems. I tested some of the other popular front ends or at least the paid ones and they were pretty much unusuable on these new fanless systems. GameEx Arcade edition and GameEx lite also seemed to be running well with the system that only had 2GB of RAM although it was tested with a version of Windows I had created with NTLITE. The GPD Win is the latest handheld gaming phenomenon and the other cherry trail systems are in my eyes Raspberry PI killers. The Minix Z84-3 is under $200 US and includes a licensed version of Windows 10. In addition ASUS have a PC stick for just over $100. Although the ASUS stick has a slower CPU than the other systems and only 2GB RAM. Still GameEx seemed to run very well on it. In my testing these systems run a lot better at 720P resolution.

My NES is a portable, open source, low level NES/Famicom emulator written in C#. The compatibility of My NES is very high, running most games without any bugs. The aim of the project is to reproduce any hardware quirks that games may rely on as elegantly as possible. My NES doesn't employ any game specific hacks or hash checks (Aside from filling in pot holes left behind by the iNES file format).

License : GPLv3

Whats new:>>

Improved: emulation threading code to reduce cpu usage (it was using full cpu power).
Fixed: sound playback pitch and sync loosing. MyNes now adjust the pitch automatically to avoid sync loose.
