A new version of this PC/DOS emulator for 16-bit DOS games for Microsoft .NET is available. From the author:

"I’ve fixed the issue causing 0.55 to fail on 32-bit systems. Hey, this is why I call it an unstable alpha – gives me an excuse to make stupid mistakes like this :)

That being said, it isn’t terribly difficult for me to run this on the 32-bit CLR, so I’ll make sure that gets done every time I post a new version from now on. Sorry about this."

Download it at the author's website. It'll be later available here.

The latest version of this SNES emulator had some small bugs. A fixed version has been released. These are the fixes.

fix4:

• selecting \"display messages before applying filters\" prior to loading any rom could cause a crash
  
• hq4x and simple4x did not work correctly in DirectDraw and 32bit modes
  
• selecting filters with different scales for normal/hi-res modes caused incorrect message scaling
  
• the rom information window was always disabled
  

• vi recording crashed on < vista
  
• delete key mapping did not work after emulator restart
  

• parts of the window stopped updating when previously covered by other windows (only in d3d mode)
  

• display corruption in Super Metroid/Donkey Kong Country/... due to compiler optimization
  

An updated packaging Windows version of this Genesis/Megadrive emulator, a derivative of Gens, is available. This does not change any of the emulator functions. No changes were done to the other versions or the source code.

Get it at the project website. The updated package will be later available here.

A new public beta of version 2.0.2 of this Amiga emulator for Windows is available. These are the changes.

Beta 4:

• ADDX and SUBX timing updates
  
• ABCD and SBCD idle cycle position in -(An),-(An) mode fixed
  
• EXG idle cycle and prefetch swapped
  
• BCLR/BSET/BCHG/BTST idle cycle and prefetch swapped
  
• writing to blitter registers while active could have confused blitter emulation logic, stopping the blitter mid blit (stopping because emulation got confused, not because emulation detected situation when it should really stop)
  
• plain A500 OCS/ECS byte writes to custom registers fixed (I think this was using 68020/AGA behavior for all modes accidentally)
  
• interrupt delay and 68000 IPL sampling timing improved
  
• windowed mode window was sometimes incorrectly detected as resized when it only lost focus (native mode size was changed to current window size)
  

• stupid MCI CD32/CDTV CD audio replaced with simple \"audio ripper\" that reads the digital CD audio data and sends it to audio device. NOTE: no jitter correction yet (possibly bad sound if your drive is old enough to not have accurate streaming support)
  
• CDTV CD hardware volume control now supported
  
• CD32 CD mute on/off \"volume\" control supported (no real volume..)
  
• Sound-panel volume also adjusts CD32/CDTV CD audio volume
  
• CD32/CDTV Q sub channel data virtualized (does not need real drive anymore, makes new things possible, see below)
  
• Built-in CUE CD image support, including CD audio track support! .CUE + single big .BIN and .CUE + .BIN + .WAVs supported (MP3 audio is also supported if you have mp3 codec installed but all tracks will be decoded before emulation starts, at least for now..) Most common data tracks supported. Plain iso images also supported. Problems = logs AND .cue file required. cdimage0= in config file, command line parameter -cdimage= can also be used. No GUI support yet.
  

huguesjohnson has released 2 hacks that were made entirely with Aridia.

The first being the Phantasy Star III Easy Type, to which the following changes were made:
-Increased character statistics
-Cost of weapons and armor greatly reduced
-Attack, defense, and speed of all weapons increased
-Defense of all armor increased
-All item costs substantially reduced
-Added additional items to supply shops
-Upgraded weapons and armor in shops
-Added and increased character techniques
-Upgraded initial character inventory
-Decreased enemy hit points, attack, and defense
-Increased enemy experience and meseta
-Monomate and Dimate effectiveness raised

The second is a Knife Only Challenge, for more hardcore players:
'This is an extremely challenging ROM hack where the only usable weapon is a knife. I verified that it is in fact possible to defeat Dark Force with knives before creating it. Modifications: * Knife is the only weapon that can be equipped by anyone. * Every character can equip a knife. * Weapon shops only sell knives * Melee techniques removed from characters. * Melee techniques removed from items * Characters' initial weapon replaced with a knife (except Legendary weapons which are in the inventory but not equipped).'

The folks at Emuwiki asked us to pass along the word that they have created a torrent containing currently 7651 emulators in a quest to collect all released emulators in one file.
