Mednafen 0.8.C

Posted By: wraggster

News via http://emu-russia.net/en/

NES/Dendy/GBA/GB/Lynx/PC Engine/PC-FX/Wonderswan emulator has been updated recently. Changes:
- Various sound output bugs have been fixed, primarily affecting non-Windows platforms.
- Various endianness related bugs were fixed, including a severe GBA save state bug on big-endian platforms.
- Having more than 2 of the same "type" of joystick/gamepad should no longer cause problems with hash collisions internally.
- A few PCE CD and PC-FX CDROM emulation bugs were fixed, concerning the position of the lead-out track, and the length of the last track when loading multi-track CUE/BIN rips.
- Various code issues causing compiler problems were fixed.

Super Bug Advance 1.1

Posted By: wraggster

News/release from James Jacobs


This is a port of a subset of the Ami/WinArcadia V11.71 emulator to the
Nintendo Game Boy Advance platform, for the purpose of emulating the
Super Bug game.
The emulator has been optimized for speed and size. The emulation is not
as comprehensive as that provided by Ami/WinArcadia, but everything needed
for perfect emulation of the Super Bug game is present (except the noise
generator). Features could be added back in from Ami/WinArcadia if desired,
to enable support of other games. Some further optimizations are possible;
however, the game already runs at full speed.
The program was written using HAM 2.8.0 and Visual HAM 2.4.2. Source
code is included.

Keys are:

START: start
SELECT: difficulty
A/B: fire
D-pad: move
L+R: pause/unpause

1.1: Sat 29 Jun 2009.
. Emulation of the Capture game.
. Autofire.
. Speed and size optimizations.
. Miscellaneous improvements and bug fixes.

1.0: Thu 27 Jun 2009.

0.1: Mon 24 Jun 2009.

Fudroyd Released - Gameboy Emulator for Android

Posted By: wraggster

News via http://www.pdroms.de/

From the release page:

Fudroyd is a Gameboy emulator written in C for Android devices. It's a port of an emulator I originally wrote for Windows but never released (a SEGA 32X version exists, though it was rewritten entirely in SuperH assembly language).

The main difference between this port and the Windows version is that the Android version uses SDL, whereas the Windows version used GDI.

DCEmu The Homebrew & Gaming Network

Posted By: wraggster



Welcome to the DCEmu Homebrew and Gaming Network.

DCEmu is as it has been since i joined all the sites under the DCEmu banner a network which concentrates on Homebrew, Hacking, Development and Commercial Gaming and Hardware News.

All Homebrew/Emulation Coders once we verify them (and i spot them) have the ability to post in all our Console News Forums and the news automatically shows up on not only the site to which that news forum belongs but also on the main DCEmu Portal Site. We always like to have an onsite mirror but gladly welcome the linking to your own site.

DCEmu can be used by coders to become their release centre and with the Homebrew Scene across so many scenes being so massive now you can quickly get noticed by a lot of sites including mainstream networks.

Now with the News forums, normal members cant start topics in them but you can reply to any topic, Normal Members can post as Normal in any None News forum. I get so many emails asking why he/she cant post in whatever forum.

And heres one for people using private messages to ask Questions, Please Use the forum to which the question would be easiest to get an answer as quick as possible. I get so many and i just ignore all of them (not to mention i have a massive amount of work anyhow). Also the users on DCEmu who use homebrew every day are tons better than me for remembering how to do homebrew on that particular console.

How Can You Help DCEmu

This site like any site is a massive undertaking and we need help on every console scene. No site in any scene is 100% perfect on what they cover and totally up to date. In homebrew methods change all the time and only you the users can help others join in the fun. If your a specialist in any console area and you want to see all the news appear its a great way of making sure it happens.

We are always in the need of Tutorials and Guides and FAQs not only for Homebrew but for hacking and Development and even just for gaming on consoles.

Our DCEmu Reviews Website is also in the need of reviews of both Hardware, Homebrew and Games Reviews so please review as much as possible.

Newsposters are always in need especially for WIP and Release News of Emulators, Homebrew etc and across many languages, i am English and to be honest the the translation apps on the net are crap, but the more help we get the better we can become, ive also no doubts that there are releases in places like Japan, China and Korea etc that never reach the likes of DCEmu and others because of language barriers.

Console News

Another change thats going to happen is that our Console News site will now post as much retro homebrew, Game Translations and also Modchip/flash cart news as possible, bringing much needed coverage to those communities.

The DCEmu Homebrew and Gaming Network

To those of you who are new to the DCEmu Homebrew and Gaming Network our Network Covers all these consoles.

Vortex Generator - visual effect - for GBA and DS

Posted By: wraggster

DCEmu Member dantheman released this over at gbadev, heres the full release notes from the man himself:

In my CS class at my university last semester, we learned C by programming for the GBA. For one of my projects, I took the sourcecode from a GBA WinS demo and greatly expanded upon it, firstly to make it much faster, and secondly to add user input so that different visual effects could be generated. I turned it in long ago, but continued to work on it for further improvements. I eventually installed DevKitPRO and ported it to the DS for speed purposes, then made a version that could rotate around the center of the screen with the DS's additional horsepower. Finally, I made a small branch-off program that creates a starfield on the DS screen, with variable speeds.






Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated. I know it's not a cool game or anything, but it did take a lot of work to make and I think it's a fairly interesting visual effect at the very least. Would people be interested in the sourcecode at all? I'm more than willing to release it, though it would take me a bit to clean it up for ease of understanding.

Factory Bots

Posted By: wraggster

News via Nintendomax

Nicholas Scheltema offers Factory bots "on Game Boy Advance and participates in the PDRoms Coding Competition v4.01. You control the movement of robots in a factory, and need them to take raw materials from a distributor, put them into a processor, then take the subject matter and put it in a collector, all have a number of movements restricted.

Quote:
The purpose of the game is to control the movement of robots on a factory floor, and get them to take raw material from a dispenser, put them in a processor, then take the processed material and drop it into a Collector.

This is accomplished by placing instructions on the factory floor grid, and when a robot passes over the instruction, it obeys it. Instructions including turning four different directions, and performing an action. The action that is performed is dependent on what is nearby, this will either be picking up a nearby object, dropping a carried object, or nothing, if nothing applies. It's also possible to introduce additional robots to a stage.

There are other obstacles that need to be overcome, such as reaching the different colored buttons that control the various machines and barriers, and reaching conveyor belts that may be needed to transport objects across a stage.

Each stage requires a sequence to be planned, and played out over and over again until at least 5 pieces of processed material are collected. Timing plays an especially important role in successfully getting the robots to perform the set sequence, so play often involves adjusting the location of instructions to alter it slightly.

The number of instructions available are limited per course. Solving each stage requires careful use of the available instructions perfectly to plan a successful sequence.

Poomania

Posted By: wraggster

News via Nintendomax



Metalvotze has made "Poomania" for the Game Boy Advance that he had submitted to the PDRoms Coding Competition v4.01. The goal is to repair as quickly as possible, the pipes of a toilet before an incident occurs. To do this, assemble pieces of pipe to make sure to connect the 2 tips.

Quote:
Our friendly plumber Paul is in trouble. Fritz Fatarse just ran to the outhouse, and the pipework is not done at all! Will you manage to help Paul Fritz flushes before his giant load and causes a terrible mess in the pit?

Connect the start of the pipe to the end point before the timer runs out. Once the flush sequence has been started, no more pieces of pipe can be placed. If you accidently set a wrong tile, you can remove it by pressing the B button, but this will take some time. Your progress is saved to cart automagically. If you play the game again, you can select your starting level up to the one you reached. Please do not turn off your Game Boy Advance while the floppy disk icon is visible, otherwise your progress data may be lost and you have to start over from scratch again.

Nintendo handheld packs 76 old games behind one tiny screen

Posted By: wraggster



Ben Heck forum member Brian has built us a sweet little Nintendo-on-a-chip handheld that puts a Super Joy III KIRF TV game, a 2.5-inch display, a controller, and 4 AA batteries under the same roof. This bad boy not only allows you to play 76 games on the go (though, sadly, not at the same time), but it looks great doing it as well. Hit up that video after the read link and see for yourself.

Game Boy Advance continues silent success

Posted By: wraggster

Whilst the ongoing global dominance of both the Wii and DS means that Nintendo has little time left to ponder its older formats, it seems that former handheld favourite the Game Boy Advance is still selling in its thousands.
Kotaku reports that in 2008 Nintendo’s Game Boy Advance sold an impressive 420,000 units worldwide. Its biggest successes were in emerging markets and parts of Asia.
The Game Boy Advance first hit the market in 2001. At the time it seemed unlikely that it could ever compare to the successes of its predecessor, the Game Boy. Indeed, the first GBA iteration was the subject of some quite brutal criticism, owing mainly to its lack of an internally lit screen.

However, the release of the Game Boy Advance SP in 2003 saw the handheld truly take off. To date it has sold in excess of 80m units – not a million miles away from the Game Boy’s 120m global lifetime sales.

Powder 111 - Rogue Clone for Many Systems

Posted By: wraggster

Thanks to nintendomax for a good find.

Jeff lait has released a new version of powder the rogue clone:

A long delay can only mean one thing. A long delay. The feature I most look forward to is the highlights for unique monsters and artifacts. Hopefully this increases the coolness associated with encountering them.


Further Makefile clean up, using $(RM) and other niceties. (Zasenko Sergey)
Applied WinCE compatibility patches. (Ilya Kasnacheev)
Ibson the Grey's tileset is now built into the SDL builds of POWDER rather than requiring you to use the From Disk... option. (It is not in the DS, GBA, WINCE versions)
Unique monsters have a ! badge to distinguish them before you engate in battle. (Andreas Bohm)

Goomba Palette v2.35

Posted By: wraggster

Kuwanger has released a new version of his version of Goomba the Gameboy Emulator for the GBA:

I've just noticed an odd bug with my fork of Goomba. For some reason, whenever Super Mario Land starts up, the palette is messed up. This bug is apparently at least as old as my v2.32 fork (and probably earlier).

So, I've updated my fork to (hopefully) fix the problem by fixing custom palette loading.

Nintendo's Game Boy turns 20

Posted By: wraggster



In case you hadn't heard, Nintendo's trend-setting handheld, the Game Boy, just had its 20th birthday -- and that's no small thing for a game console. We won't bore you with stories from our childhood about wasted time and missed opportunities spent chasing the dragon that was Tetris, but we will entertain the hell out of you with this vintage ad touting the system's launch from way back in the totally excellent year of 1989. We know what you're thinking: does the robot create the kid or just warp him there? And if he does create him, does that mean he's some kind of metallic god? And does that mean that the kid kills god? And... why is the robot dancing? Hey -- now you're playing with power.

Goomba Paletted v2.34 - Gameboy Emulator for GBA

Posted By: wraggster

Kuwanger has released a new version of his Gameboy Emulator for GBA

This is just a small update. Now you can append palettes to goomba.gba much easier. You can look at the Goomba Paletted homepage under "Appending Palettes" to see how it's done. Oh, and now you can use L+Up and L+Down to switch through the various borders.

Goomba Paletted v2.33 - Gameboy Emulator for GBA

Posted By: wraggster

Kuwanger has released a new version of his release of Goomba the Gameboy Emulator for GBA:

Okay, I've updated my fork. Major changes include, longer palette names, including all of Asaki's SGB palettes, adding a nice little palette name display (useful for Asaki's palette switching hotkey), a little more room for custom borders, better loading of custom borders (you can attach them to goomba.gba and load access them from Pogoshell, regardless if you multiboot), and removal of (hopefully) any chance for save state corruption.
