It is coded using the OpenGL API and uses GLSL shaders.

QMC2 SVN r3377

QMC2 SVN r3377 is released. QMC2 is a good GUI for MAME & MESS. QMC2(M.A.M.E. Catalog / Launcher II) is the successor of one of the first XMAME/MESS GUI frontends available, QMamecat (derived from MAMECAT, which was text-only). QMC2 has been rebuilt from scratch as a Qt 4 project. Parts of the design and code were inspired by its predecessor. The new design was made as flexible as possible to minimize dependencies from frontend- and CLI-related MAME changes, which was a major deficiency of QMamecat. QMC2 uses a template-based MAME configuration scheme, which can easily be enhanced with additional command line options (defined in an XML template file).

Final Burn Legends v1.9

Final Burn Legends v1.9 is released. Final Burn Legends is a port of Final Burn Alpha to the Xbox. It also includes parts of FBA-XXX Pro. "The reason I developed this port was so that I could play Thunder Blade, Galaxy Force 2, Turbo Outrun, and After Burner 2 on the Xbox. However, it developed into much more than that.

DOSBox SVN r3769

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.

Jpcsp SVN r2413

Jpcsp SVN r2413 is released. JPCSP is the most advanced PlayStation Portable(PSP) emulator, allowing you to play your PSP games on a PC.

Jpcsp takes full advantage of dual-core processors, matching the PSP dual-core architecture. Even a quad-core can give a small performance improvement by leaving free CPU cores for the Java JIT Compiler and the graphics cache.
