"QEMU is a generic and open source machine emulator and virtualizer.

When used as a machine emulator, QEMU can run OSes and programs made for one machine (e.g. an ARM board) on a different machine (e.g. your own PC). By using dynamic translation, it achieves very good performance. "

Hello, All!

I have updated fMSX, ColEm and Speccy emulators for Android this week.
In all three cases, I had to remove cheating features, since Google now
bans apps containing any reference to cheating from its Google Play
store. Do not despair though, since you can reenable cheats by unzipping
a proper file with the cheats to your Android device. See below for
details.

fMSX 5.5.5 -- MSX, MSX2, MSX2+ Home Computer Emulator
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fms.fmsx
* Added native support for 64bit ARMv8 CPUs.
* Fixed accelerated sound on newer Androids.
* Had to remove the cheats, since Google Play no longer allows them.
* Unzip this file to /sdcard/fMSX to reenable cheats:
http://fms.komkon.org/EmuAndroid/fMSX-Cheats.zip
* Switched to Gradle build.

ColEm 4.6.6 -- ColecoVision Emulator
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fms.colem
* Added native support for 64bit ARMv8 CPUs.
* Fixed accelerated sound on newer Androids.
* Had to remove the cheats, since Google Play no longer allows them.
* Unzip this file to /sdcard/ColEm to reenable cheats:
http://fms.komkon.org/EmuAndroid/ColEm-Cheats.zip
* Switched to Gradle build.

Speccy 5.1.1 -- Sinclair ZX Spectrum, Timex Sinclair, Sam Coupe Emulator
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fms.speccy
* Added native support for 64bit ARMv8 CPUs.
* Fixed accelerated sound on newer Androids.
* Had to remove the cheats, since Google Play no longer allows them.
* Unzip this file to /sdcard/Speccy to reenable cheats:
http://fms.komkon.org/EmuAndroid/Speccy-Cheats.zip
* Switched to Gradle build.

In related news, VGBAnext, my GameBoy Advance, GameBoy Color, and NES
emulator, is currently on the $2.99 sale:

Many things changed in this release. The largest change is a refactoring of the sound handling, which means sound should work better than before and consume less CPU time.

Important Notes:

.slang shader support

We have added support for libretro .slangp presets and .slang shaders. These can currently only be used with OpenGL on the Windows and GTK versions. A large set of shaders can be downloaded from:
https://github.com/libretro/slang-shaders

Win32

• The DirectSound driver has been glitch-prone for a while, so it has removed and replaced with a WaveOut driver. WaveOut is the most basic Windows method for outputting sound, and has used the same output path as DirectSound since Windows Vista. There are only small differences between the two, but the main one is that WaveOut doesn't loop by default, which means we can use a push API and have Dynamic Rate Control. XAudio2 is still available and recommended if your system supports it.
  
  
• More git subprojects have been added, so without git it will be more difficult to compile. See how2compile.txt in the win32/docs directory for details.

GTK

• The build system has been switched to Meson. Packagers will need to adapt, but most operating systems already have Meson available and being used in packages. The procedure to build is fairly simple:
  
  1. 1. Change to the gtk port directory: `cd gtk`
     
  2. 2. Run meson: `meson builddir --prefix=/usr --buildtype=release`
     
  3. Change to the build directory and run ninja: `cd builddir; ninja`
     
  4. 4. Install if you wish: `meson install` or `sudo meson install`
  
  A full list of options is in meson_options.txt.
  
  
• .slang support requires SPIRV-Cross, which is a git submodule of Snes9x. git can retrieve this with:
  `git submodule update --init shaders/SPIRV-Cross`
  If a source archive is used, .slang support will be disabled unless you download the submodule. This can be done by extracting an archive from https://github.com/KhronosGroup/SPIRV-Cross/release to that directory, or by creating a temporary git repository in the extracted Snes9x source by running `git init` and using the above command.

Changes:

---

- Count clock cycles to synchronize SA1 with S-CPU properly. Based mostly on
work by Vitor Vilela.
- Only allow instant IRQ when toggling IRQ. Fixes WWF - Wrestlemania.
- Refactored APU output code to buffer less on the client side. Removed 8-bit,
Mono, and Reverse Stereo options.
- Consistently handle interlacing when we skip frames.
- Changed APU clock to reflect nominal values for original hardware.
- Fix C4 square instruction regression.

Win32:
- Don't display Joypad 2 pressed keys if disabled.
- Add support for libretro ".slang" shaders to OpenGL driver.
- Removed glitch-prone DirectSound audio driver in favor of a generic Wave Out
driver.
- Moved sound sync to drivers to be more reactive. This makes sound sync and
dynamic resampling work more reliably.
- Cleaned up dialog boxes to be more consistently spaced.
- Fixed TVMode filter in Direct3D and OpenGL modes.
- Fixed an interaction slowdown with OpenGL and Blargg NTSC filters.

libretro:
- Fix multiline cheats.

GTK+:
- Switch from autotools to Meson build system.
- Readd glFinish option as alternative to glFenceSync.
- Fix size fallthrough with xBRZ filter.
- Fix loading of key bindings with spaces in them and modifier keys used alone.
- Add support for libretro ".slang" shaders to OpenGL driver.
- Use a cleaner onscreen font.
- Trap errors to allow OpenGL <= 2.1 to run again.
- Break display settings up to make it easier to access hardware accel section.

WinUAE 4.2.0 Beta 3 has been released.

URL:

WinUAE is the Commodore Amiga emulator for Windows. WinUAE is a mostly complete software emulation of the hardware of the Commodore Amiga 500/1000/2000.

A Commodore Amiga, for those who don’t know, is a 16/32 bit computer system based on the Motorola 680×0 CPU and a few specially designed custom chips that provide very good graphics and sound capabilities. Its first incarnation, the A1000, appeared in 1985, followed by the highly successful A500 and A2000 models.

WinUAE is a port of the originally written for Unixish systems UAE; but over time, it seems the Windows port, WinUAE has become the best version available on any platform. WinUAE is free software: you are welcome to distribute copies of it and/or modify it, under certain conditions. There is no warranty of any kind for UAE. For more details concerning these issues, please read the GNU General Public License, which describes the terms under which WinUAE is distributed.
