A new public beta of WinUAE, an Amiga emulator for Windows, now version 2.3.0, is available. These are the changes.

Beta 5:

• version number bumped to 2.3
  
• few lines of non-filter scanlines was missing in bottom part of display
  
• audio DMA start interrupt is now immediate after starting DMA in too fast CPU modes (normally when audio state changes to 5), fixes EasyACDDA hang. Seems to be yet another audio.device bug when CPU and memory is \"too fast\"..
  

• unified CD32/CDTV CD unit allocation, also internal unit number is always zero = GUI CD media change now work as expected
  
• CDTV frontpanel Stop now quits frontpanel/CD+G mode correctly
  
• added more obsolete SCSI commands: PLAY AUDIO TRACK RELATIVE (10) and (12) and PLAY AUDIO (12) (10-byte version was added in b4)
  
• CDTV subchannel hardware interrupt timing improved, CD+G works in cycle-exact mode now
  
• cd configuration code cleanups
  
• added mds/mdf image format (only v1 and first session, v2 appears to be scrambled..)
  
• cdimage0 in configuration file now disables all following units (backwards compatiblity) add 2 or more cdimage[0-7]= lines in increasing order if you want multiple units configured
  
• cue/ccd/iso/mds detection in zipped cd images stopped working
  
• moved 2048 to 2352 byte sector conversion code to generic image mounter code from CD32 emulation, CD32 FMV ROM now detects VideoCDs (and then it hangs)
  
• mp3 cd audio: detect audio length using ID3v2 TLEN tag if it exists, assume it is CBR MP3 if first 100 frames have equal bit rate, fallback to original slow full file scan if no tags and VBR
  
• remove mp3 decoding time from audio playback delay time, keeps av sync if decoding takes less than 2 seconds
  
• FLAC CD audio tracks supported (cue/iso/flac), perhaps this will be useful in future.. (remember to redownload winuaeinclibs.zip if you want to recompile this or future versions)
  
• note that currently both mp3 and flac decoding needs to finish before playback starts which can take few seconds on slow machines
  
• some XP-only CD access issues fixed, tested on VMware workstation (donated by Cloanto). VirtualPC sucks too much.
  
• when looking for cue/iso/ccd/mds inside archives: do not attempt to autodetect (unpack) other files. CD image archives containing audio tracks should start faster now (all audio tracks are still unpacked at startup but previously they were unpacked twice)
  

• MP3/FLAC background decompression, no more delayed CDA startup if audio file decompression takes more than 2 seconds
  
• implemented \"delayed decompression\" zfile open flag, currently only zip backend supports it and it is only enabled when using CD images. Most zipped CD images with big audio files start almost instantly now
  
• potential memory corruption crash in zfile_fclose() if file had parent file(s)
  
• zero length disk DMA (used by some copy protections) never finished, broke in b1
  
• fixed extra space characters in favorite menu items
  
• pause uaescsi.device CDA when emulation is paused or GUI is open
  
• uaescsi.device CDA lights green on screen CD led
  
• cue/bin audio tracks were completely silent (cue/wav worked)
  
• on the fly image switching didn't send uaescsi.device change interrupts correctly if CDFS polling flag was disabled (empty drive without diskchange command)
  
• new dynamic hardfiles have .vhd extension instead of .hdf

Tracylv666 has released Pokemon Something Changed Version, a hack of Pokemon Fire Red in which the Gym leaders and Elite four have been made more challenging.

Anandastoon has released Megaman in Indonesia, a Megaman 5 hack that sets the game in Indonesia. All of the levels have been edited and some of the graphics have been altered. This hack is entirely in Indonesian.

Omega has released Zelda 3 - Omega Hack, a level hack of a Link to the Past in which the overworld has been completely redesigned. The dungeons have also been modified.

A new public version of the emulator Macifom, a NES emulator and debugger for Mac OS X 10.5.6 and later, has been released. These are the changes:

A new beta release of this open source NES emulator for Windows is available. No info given about the changes.

Download it at the author's website. You'll be able to download it here as well.

A new release of this PC Engine/Turbo Grafx 16 emulator for Windows is available. These are the changes:

• \"Step Setting\" was added to \"Volume\" menu. The accommodation amplitude of the volume control (At [PageUp][PageDown] key or Function Button (\"Input-> Configure Function Button\" menu)) can be set.
  
• The speed and timing were brought close to the movement of a real machine. In \"Star Breaker\", at going to building in and out, the problem of stopping (generated by a recent version) was solved. In \"Splash Lake\", the problem that the screen sometimes falls into disorder by one frame was solved.
  
• The drawing processing part of the video chip was brought close to the movement of a real machine. In \"Splash Lake\", the problem that the screen had shaken when the stage began was solved.
  
• Additionally, a detailed part has been improved and corrected.
  

A new public beta of WinUAE, an Amiga emulator for Windows, version 2.2.1, is available. These are the changes.

Beta 4:

• rawinput was disabled if only one keyboard device was detected, input didn't work at all in b3 because of null keyboard (detected only one rawinput keyboard = it was ignore but null keyboard was still added later -> more than one keyboard -> do not fallback to directinput..)
  
• redirect unknown rawinput messages to null keyboard (shouldn't happen but you never know..)
  
• spaces not allowed in directory filesystem volume name (wrong validation routine used)
  
• bottom border was half-blanked in some doublescanned modes
  
  Another major CD update. CD configuration unified, now any CD unit \"slot\" can point to different CD backend (image mounter + scsi emulation, IOCTL drive + scsi emulation, SPTI drive + scsi passthrough) On the fly changes fully supported. CD mess is nearly gone, code is finally structured logically without special cases. (this finally made SCSI emulation quite easy to implement)
  
  
  
• SCSI emulation is now the default SCSI mode (CDFS and audio tracks always work, switch to SPTI if you need advanced stuff like cd writing) Some audio CD players work for the first time now because some SCSI commands have been obsoleted long time ago like PLAY TRACK/INDEX
  
• CD audio DAE emulation does not attempt to play data tracks anymore
  
• added most common CD audio SCSI commands to SCSI emulator, OS3.5+ PlayCD confirmed working. Following new SCSI command added: START/STOP, STOP PLAY/SCAN, SCAN, PLAY AUDIO MSF, PLAY AUDIO, PLAY CD, PLAY TRACK/INDEX, PAUSE/RESUME, READ SUB-CHANNEL, READ TOC, MODE SENSE/MODE SELECT (cd audio volume page only), READ CD and READ CF MSF (only audio extraction supported + subchannel options)
  
• added CD audio io commands to uaescsi.device (most programs use HD_SCSICMD)
  
• emulated INQUIRY vendor, product and revision fetched from real device if possible
