David Haywood＇s MAME(tm) WIP - Running out of Spac (2011/01/25)
Running out of Spac
The Dumping Union (with help from hap, N. Francfort & Smitdogg) located the rather less common original release of Psikyo’s Space Bomber.
Chances are this version was intended for Japan only, because with the existing set the ‘Version B’ subtitle was only ever shown when set to Japan. Note, even from the first screen you see the localization isn’t quite right when the older set is booted as a World version. It appears they didn’t manage to fit the text on the screen, on the screen which is telling you how much of the screen you should be fitting on your screen… Oh dear. The text was rearranged for the Version B release to ensure it fitted correctly.

Nintendulator 0.975 beta (2011/01/25)
Nintendulator 0.975 beta (2011/01/25) is released. Nintendulator is an open source Win32 NES emulator written in C (plus some assembly optimization). The original goal was to emulate the NES down to its hardware quirks; though it's fallen behind over the years, recent builds have caught up once again and can emulate certain behaviors most other emulators neglect to handle. However, this emulation precision comes at a price - a 1500MHz (estimated) or faster CPU is required to emulate at full speed.

ykhwong's DOSBox 0.74 SVN Build 25.01.2011
ykhwong's DOSBox 0.74 SVN Build 25.01.2011 is released. DOSBox emulates an Intel x86 PC, complete with sound, graphics, mouse, joystick, modem, etc., necessary for running many old MS-DOS games that simply cannot be run on modern PCs and operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista, Linux and FreeBSD. However, it is not restricted to running only games. In theory, any MS-DOS or PC-DOS (referred to commonly as "DOS") application should run in DOSBox, but the emphasis has been on getting DOS games to run smoothly, which means that communication, networking and printer support are still in early development.

Colinux v20110125
Colinux v20110125 is released. Colinux (Cooperative Linux) is the first working free and open source method for optimally running Linux on Microsoft Windows natively. More generally, Cooperative Linux (short-named coLinux) is a port of the Linux kernel that allows it to run cooperatively alongside another operating system on a single machine. For instance, it allows one to freely run Linux on Windows 2000/XP, without using a commercial PC virtualization software such as VMware, in a way which is much more optimal than using any general purpose PC virtualization software. In its current condition, it allows us to run the KNOPPIX Japanese Edition on Windows.
