Stella v6.5 is compiled. Stella is a multi-platform Atari 2600 VCS emulator. The Atari 2600 Video Computer System (VCS), introduced in 1977, was the most popular home video game system of the early 1980's. Now you can enjoy all of your favorite Atari 2600 games on your PC thanks to Stella!
Stella v6.5 changelog:
Added high scores saving.
Improved text editing functionality (except PromptWidget):
Enhanced selection and cut/copy/paste from keyboard.
Added undo and redo support.
Added mouse support (selection, cut/copy/paste).
All actions have keyboard shortcuts.
Various improvements to the ROM launcher:

Added static tooltips to some UI items.
Added dynamic tooltips to most debugger items.
Added sound to Time Machine playback.
Added browser dialogs for user saved files.

Increased sample size for CDFJ+.
Fixed autofire bug for trackball controllers.
Fixed bug in TV autodetection in filenames; a filename containing 'PAL' inside a word would sometimes misdetect as a PAL ROM.
Fixed Stelladaptor/2600'daptor devices sometimes not being assigned correct default mappings.
Codebase now uses C++17 features, which means a minimum of gcc7 or clang5 for Linux/Mac, and Visual Studio 2019 for Windows.

Graphics engine overhauled, introducing border, overscan, dynamic horizontal synchronisation (not perfect yet), scan doubling and some optional CRT blurring
Completely new CRTC (CPC's graphics chip) emulation, quite accurate, and selectable between CRTC types 0, 1 and 2 (most demos work as on a real CPC)
Realistic timing of CPU instructions and interrupts
Sound emulation significantly improved, now able to play digitized sounds (such as speech and special effects)
Different accelerated modes of operation ("Turbo", with and without CRTC synchronisation)
Debugger with optional CRTC single-stepping alongside the CPC screen, including crosshairs indicating the current electron beam position
Graphical menu (in addition to function keys)
Virtual on-screen joystick on Android and iOS
Keyboard configuration improved, enabling easier customization

Tsugaru (2020/11/11) is released. It is an emulator of legendary Fujitsu FM TOWNS computer. The goal is to emulate model II MX, which was the last computer I pledged allegiance. Also I am trying to find and document undocumented features of FM TOWNS system as much as possible while writing the emulator.
Tsugaru changelog:
YM2612 sounds much more correct than the previous release. Combined …
…YM2612 and RF5C68 in one output channels. Added support for multi-binary CUE format. With -APP STRIKECOMMANDER option, the program shows a cheat marker for CD-ROM Pong.

WinUAE v4.5.0 Beta 15 is released. WinUAE is the commodore amiga emulator for Windows. WinUAE is a mostly complete software emulation of the hardware of the Commodore Amiga 500/1000/2000. A Commodore Amiga, for those who don’t know, is a 16/32 bit computer system based on the Motorola 680×0 CPU and a few specially designed custom chips that provide very good graphics and sound capabilities. Its first incarnation, the A1000, appeared in 1985, followed by the highly successful A500 and A2000 models. WinUAE is a port of the originally written for Unixish systems UAE; but over time, it seems the Windows port, WinUAE has become the best version available on any platform. WinUAE is free software: you are welcome to distribute copies of it and/or modify it, under certain conditions. There is no warranty of any kind for UAE. For more details concerning these issues, please read the GNU General Public License, which describes the terms under which WinUAE is distributed.

CPCEC / ZXSEC (2021/01/05) is released. CPCEC is an emulator of the family of home microcomputers Amstrad CPC (models 464, 664 and 6128) whose goal is to be loyal to the original hardware and efficient in standard modern systems. Thus it brings a faithful emulation of the Z80 microprocessor and it replicates the behavior of the CRTC 6845 and Gate Array video chips, the PSG AY-3-8912 sound chip, the remaining circuits found in the original hardware, and the tape deck and floppy disc drive that made possible loading and running software. ZXSEC is an emulator of the Sinclair Spectrum family (48k, 128k, +2/Plus2 and +3/Plus3) based on the components it shared with the Amstrad CPC family: the Z80 microprocessor, the PSG AY-3-8192 sound chip, the tape system and the NEC765 disc drive controller.

Hatari v2.3.1 is released. Hatari is an Atari ST/STE/TT/Falcon emulator for GNU/Linux, BSD, BeOS, Mac OS X and other systems that are supported by the SDL library. The Atari ST was a 16/32 bit computer system which was first released by Atari in 1985. Using the Motorola 68000 CPU, it was a very popular computer having quite a lot of CPU power at that time. Unlike many other Atari ST emulators which try to give you a good environment for running GEM applications, Hatari tries to emulate the hardware of a ST as close as possible so that it is able to run most of the old ST games and demos. Hatari is open source software and is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL).
Hatari v2.3.1 Changelog:
Hatari could crash when switching to Falcon mode and no IDE drive was used
Fix unneeded extra prefetch for movem in 68020/30 CPU
Fix master clock use for crossbar/DSP Handshake mode
Fix hostport PORTB interrupt handling for DSP
FPU setting did not work in macOS version for french language
Fix Hatari window disappearing in the python UI when changing resolution

It’s time for an announcement for the release of Wizardry Scenario #1: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord English Translation for WonderSwan Color that was released only in Japan. However, the rest of other scenarios (Knight of Diamonds and Legacy of Llylgamyn) were never released on this system.
This particular handheld port is not just simply a remake like the previous ones (NES, SNES, GBC, PSX, Windows). It introduced exclusive new features such as showing pictures for related items and events, new exclusive versions of weapons and items that weren’t originally available, a free automap feature, the ability to download New Maze and Shopping via Wonder Gate, and finally a new unlockable Survival Mode once the game is cleared. The Survival Mode is basically defeating waves of monsters without getting wiped out and achieving the high score.
This hack translates the option screens (with some string limitations) as well re-translates everything that was wrong with it, such as many grammar errors particularly for English mode that was still present in the original game now fixed.
Hope you enjoyed with it and Happy Holiday to everyone!
