30 emulators and counting!
MAME v0.31 was released on 26/4/98 supporting 134 new games over the previous version. There's not much to say other than this emulator is superb! I've updated my arcade page with screenshots of three of the newly supported games, and added an online list of games supported, taken from the MAME documents.
The following 5 announcements may seem like a joke, but I assure you it's not...
First release of v0.10 of the Acorn version of Stella, the multi-platform Atari 2600 emulator ported by David McEwen.
First release of v0.10 of David McEwen's port of AdamEm, the Coleco Adam emulator.
Updated v0.20 of ColEm released by David McEwen.
Updated v0.20 of fMSX released by David McEwen. It features an improved frontend, 16 colour mode, pause/restart/reset functions, more full screen modes and 2 utilities to read/write MSX disk images.
Updated v0.25 of xNES released by David McEwen. It features a bug fix on the scrolling, it now works on pre-RISC PC Acorns, more games now work, mappers 1,3 and 4 are improved and 2 joystick support is working.
New frame added to The Acorn Emulation Page banner (see the bottom of the page) taken from Bomberman 94 running on Paul Clifford's new PC Engine emulator (as yet unreleased). Animated pictures have been added to cheer up the PCEngine page.
The Acorn Emulation Archive has been updated with MAME v0.31, Stella v0.10, AdamEm v0.10, fMSX v0.20 and xNES v0.25.
Paul Clifford's port of the PC Engine development kit, MagicKit, by David Michel (author of the Magic Engine PC Engine emulator for the PC) has been released.
Added some new x86 CPU cores to the emulator programming page, these are for the nearly uniquitous Z80 and 6502 and an Atari Math box.
I've done a little count up of the number of emulators available for the acorn, and will keep the counter at the top of the news page every update. 30 emulators - not counting java emulators, PC cards, or those that run under emulation.
