Jpcsp SVN r1500
Jpcsp SVN r1500 is released.JPCSP is a PlayStation Portable(PSP) emulator which is written in JAVA. JPCSP is the first PSP emulator that is written in JAVA. Most people think java is too slow. But Shadow and his team has proven us wrong. The newest Java versions are almost as fast as C which makes it very interesting for emu dev's. Shadow and his team are working day and night with pleasure on the emu, many coders have dedicated to the project. Because it's written in java many young devs find it interesting to learn how the emulator works.
Fceux SVN r1802
Fceux SVN r1802 is released. FCEUX is a cross platform, NTSC and PAL Famicom/NES emulator that is an evolution of the original FCE Ultra emulator. Over time FCE Ultra had separated into many separate branches.The concept behind FCEUX is to merge elements from FCE Ultra, FCEU rerecording, FCEUXD, FCEUXDSP, and FCEU-mm into a single branch of FCEU. As the X implies, it is an all-encompassing FCEU emulator that gives the best of all worlds for the general player, the ROM-hacking community, and the Tool-Assisted Speedrun Community.

Making a Killing, Killing a Dragon
One of the most common questions I get asked is ‘Why is the PGM hardware so badly emulated?’
The answer to this is simple, it isn’t. The actual PGM emulation (aside from the sound chip) is mostly complete. The problem is that every single PGM game has it’s own protection scheme, and the later ones (which is the real reason people complain) are very, very well protected, and are IMPOSSIBLE to emulate properly without expensive hardware decapping because even with trojans you can’t read out all the internal ROM code. (So don’t ask about them)
