Been a while (i.e. ~6 years) since I posted here, but hey I somehow managed to remember my password! Lot of stuff happened in those years. I moved house multiple times, got back into video gaming to some extent, turned 30, gained some interesting new health problems, and sadly lost my mother to...

I'm on Facebook now and stuffs. I'm Amy Wrigley. Go find me. Or not. Wendsleydale. I'm saying random stuff. Fudge plastic. In a big ricecake bowl of shredded newspaper. I may be a spambot. I may be all of the spambots. I may be a tortoise dreaming I'm a jet engine. What am I saying? What are you...

I'm bored, and it's either rambling or work so here I am. So I've got ClamAV and it's got a command-line scanner, so I go 'man clamav' and the systems like "What the fuck's clamav?". Seriously? What? 10 minutes of searching later going "HOW. DO. I. FUCKING. USE. IT!" I find an off-hand mention...

PCSX-Reloaded is a fork of PCSX for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux that has been around for some time and has been noted at this site in the description for PCSX, but until now did not have its own page. This has now been fixed. 1.9.92 was actually released some time ago from what I can see, but...

gbpablog is another Game Boy emulator we didn't have on this site until now. It's written in C++, using WxWidgets and SDL. Little information seems available on the actual features, but savestate and sound support are mentioned in the latest changelog, and the screenshots show gameplay of...

CrystalBoy is a Game Boy emulator for Windows written in C# that has evaded our attention until now. It has high compatibility, emulates both the classic Game Boy and Game Boy Color, and has a graphical debugger. However, it's still missing sound and has some remaining compatibility issues. The...

BGB, a rather high quality Game Boy emulator for Windows, has been updated to version 1.3.2. Here's what's new: more accurate SGB color scheme. improved detection of non-working vsync. fixed: bootroms don't load if read only. fixed: "load rom dialog on startup" not working. fixed: "game...

OK, new topic time since I find myself using my Twitter account more than anything else now, and I ended up wondering if anyone else here uses Twitter or if it's just me. Also, Twitter clients. My client of choice up until recently was Qwit, but it kept glitching up and lacked some basic...

Well, I haven't been round these parts in a while. I'll regale you with my tales of the (ongoing) Great YouTube Backlog of 2011, which I fully intend to post on my website someday, but that's for another day. Why I'm here is my monitor. A 22 inch 1680x1050 LCD monitor dating from 2008 that has...

zBoy is another emulator we haven't had on this site before. It's a Game Boy emulator for Windows, DOS, and Linux that is still in the early stages of development but already plays several commercial games. The changelogs don't go into any details for changes before the current version, so...

This is a PSP emulator that we didn't seem to have a download for before now, so rather than post all of changes up to now, I'll just summarize what the state of the emulator seems to be. The official forums currently list eight games known to be playable, another eight 'half-playable', and...

After a long period of inactivity, the excellent Game Boy emulator BGB has been updated. Here's what's new since we last posted an update of this emulator: 1.3.1 fixed: a DMG rom with GBC bootrom would show a white background instead of colorized palette. fixed: header checksum suggestion...

You heard me. According to Moonbattery (who I keep an eye on to see where the insane fringes of the American right are going) are now saying that vaccines actually kill people and that Bill Gates is calling for the end of all life on Earth. No, really. Read it. That's what they say. The...

Overdraft got cancelled, money is suddenly extra-tight, mum is thinking of getting the (rather friendly) landlord to serve us notice soon to try and get us in cheaper council accommodation sooner rather than later, and my dad decided the best thing to do would be to get the money he was given to...

In case you don't know who James Dellingpole is, lucky you. He writes opinion pieces for The Daily Telegraph here in Britain, has his own website, and has written Welcome to Obamaland: I've Seen Your Future, and it Doesn't Work. I really don't like him. But what got me today was the worst piece...

Well, following the unspoken rules of ZMD, anything that doesn't go anywhere else goes in Talk of the Town. So, a Diaries post. You may be thinking if past form is of any indication, this will feature my alcoholic father, and you'd be 100% correct in thinking that. He went out drinking on...

Coming from a suggestion from Reaper man, this is a topic about how I've started messing with wallpapers in The GIMP to give me material for a fast growing wallpaper cycle on desktop 4 (random, changes after one hour) that I've started building. I'm currently at 20 and counting. This really...

After two weeks of trying everything I can think of FreeHostia have finally admitted the cause of my latest problem, and it is deliberate censorship. So I've decided enough is enough, it's time to look for another new home for pointlessness. I don't need a huge amount of space or bandwidth, nor...

I'm thinking of just bypassing all this with my own solution. Ingredients required: Lengthy DVI-to-HDMI or DVI-to-VGA cable (shouldn't be difficult to find) Some way to hook up my sound card to my TV without any noticeable quality loss (may be more difficult) A good emulator for whatever I want...

This is fairly random, but looking at FakeNES got me thinking about another NES emulator that died several years ago: phamicom. This was supposed to be continuation of FCE Ultra, using SDL, adding an in-game GUI, and generally fixing things up. It appeared, implemented some changes related to...
