March 2000





After a month-long hiatus, emulation.net is up and running once again! I would like to apologize for the extremely long delay between updates--I have just moved to a new city, and have not had working Internet access until yesterday. Since it's been so long since the last update, this update might accidentally miss a few things; please feel free to let me know if I forgot to post an important update!

emulation.net has a new logo, compliments of Bob Frasure! I think it complements the new Aquaish look well.

A new Nintendo 64 emulator, SixtyForce, has been released! Actually, this is a majorly revamped version of Mac1964, which has been rechristened "SixtyForce" because its code is no longer a direct port of the "1964" emulator. Also, this is the first Nintendo 64 emulator on the Mac to provide sound support! Unfortunately, the current version's audio is very rudimentary and choppy; hopefully this can be fixed in future versions.

MacMAME has been updated to version 0.36rc1! This version is a Release Candidate, so cleans up a lot of the rough edges that tend to accompany beta releases. If you've begun to avoid MacMAME betas because of their quirky behavior, you'll be glad to know that the Release Candidates are very stable and fast!

NoSTalgia, an Atari ST emulator, has been updated to version 0.65! This version fixes some emulation bugs.

Power64, a Commodore 64 emulator, has been updated to version 2.7! This version fixes some bugs and supports GZ-compressed files.

GBMac, a Gameboy emulator, has been updated to version 1.2.5b1.

RealPC has been updated to version 1.1, and SoftWindows has reached version 5.1. Although SoftWindows now ships with Windows 98 Second Edition, the emulation core in both emulators is unchanged. Because the actual application is the same, there are no updaters for these versions.

Emumac has posted an interview with the developers of Blue Label, an inexpensive PC emulator which received heavy criticism at its debut due to serious compatibility issues.
