Sorry for the extremely long delay since the previous update to emulation.net. After the close of the semester, I moved out of my apartment, and until yesterday I haven't been able to access the Internet from my computer. If you've sent me e-mail over the past week or two, I might not be able to respond to it in a timely fashion--my inbox has been overwhelmed in the last few weeks. With luck, I should be able to get a stable Internet connection within the next few days.
DGen, the new open-source Genesis emulator, has been released for the Macintosh! With impressive compatibility and excellent sound support, this is undoubtedly the best Genesis emulator for the Macintosh.
MacMAME has been updated to version 0.35b13. According to the MAME team, this should be the last update before Release Candidate 1, so submit your bug reports now!

Sorry for the recent lack of updates; preparing for final exams took almost all of my time. Fortunately, the school semester has come to a close at last. Hopefully, I will be able to maintain regular updates for the next few months.
Virtual Gameboy has been updated to version 1.5.1! This version works properly with some new Color Gameboy-only titles. (Make sure that the emulator is set to Color Gameboy mode for these titles to run.)
MacV9T9, a TI99 emulator, has been updated to version 0.1a2. This version supports TI99 files, and fixes several bugs.
PSX MagiKard has been updated! This is a utility to allow you to change the contents of Virtual Game Station memory cards, much like a real Playstation.
emulation.net received a favorable mention in an article discussing emulation in the Irish Times.
A Genesis emulator with good compatibility and full sound support is finally being developed for the Macintosh! This is thanks to the new, open-source DGen emulator; the Mac port is being developed thanks to collaboration by Richard Bannister, Gil Pedersen, and myself. Expect a release within the next few weeks at the latest.
I hope that all the Star Wars fans out there enjoyed The Phantom Menace as much as I did.

iNES has been updated to version 1.0.1! This version corrects several issues with iNES 1.0; most importantly, PunchOut now works correctly using Mapper #9. Also, compatibility is somewhat higher in general.
MacMAME has been updated to version 0.35b12a! This update addresses several GUI issues.
Catakig, an excellent Apple II-series emulator, has been updated to version 1.14! This update addresses some minor bugs.
TRS-80 has been updated to version 1.6b2.
Hu6280, a new TurboGrafx-16 emulator, has been updated to version 1.8.9v2!
MO5/MacOS, a Thomson MO5 emulator, has been updated to version 2.06!
NEShots has reached version 1.3.

MacMAME 0.35b12 has been released! This version improves the 3D card support somewhat, fixes several GUI bugs, and adds the usual round of new games to the emulation core.
Congratulations to Brad Oliver, primary developer of MacMAME! He has been hired by Westlake Interactive to port an as-of-yet undisclosed game to the Macintosh.

SNES9X has been updated to version 1.1.9! This update improves compatibility significantly, and is noticably faster as well!
NEShots, an emulator front end, has been updated to version 1.2.
MacMAME 0.35b12 is coming soon!
