AES4ALL/NEO4ALL: New Neo-Geo emulator releases
Posted by Stryfe on Dec 29, 2011 at 3:59pm - 0 CommentsChui has released new updates to his already very great AES4ALL, and NEO4ALL, emulator lines.
Now, AES4ALL has SD-Card support (yes, MMU using SD instead CD is more fast, so more playable for large NeoGeo roms) and fixes Yamaha timmings:
NEO4ALL can load ISOs from SD-Card too but there are not CDDA tracks for now:
About Dingoo, runs same speed using a bit of overclock.
MORE INFO AND DOWNLOADS AT NEO4ALL SITE
Okay. Maybe this was a couple months back, but I haven't loaded up my DC in a while.
Downloads can be found in the quoted link. Don't forget to stop by the DCEmulation, or DCEMU, forums to give feedback, or to thank Chui.

Artemio's 240p test suite for Genesis, Sega CD and Dreamcast
Posted by Christuserloeser on Dec 02, 2011 at 6:32am - 1 Commentsvia Sega-16.com
I am developing this software for the Genesis, Sega CD and Dreamcast. It is a homebrew software suite for video game consoles developed to help in the evaluation of upscalers, upscan converters, line doublers and of course Tv processing of 240p signals.
It has tests designed with the processing of 240p signals in mind, although when possible it includes other video modes and specific tests for them. These have been tested with video processors on real hardware and a variety of displays, including CRTs and Arcade monitors via RGB.
As a secondary target, the suite aims to provide tools for calibrating colors, black and white levels for specific console outputs and setups.
It includes, amongst other things: a PLUGE pattern, Color Bars, Gray Ramp, Grid and Drop Shadow test.

Here is the link with all the information:
http://junkerhq.net/xrgb/index.php/240p_test_suite
And the downloads:
http://code.google.com/p/240p-test-suite/downloads/list
If you are interested, all you need is either a Dreamcast and a CD-R, a flash cart for the Genesis or a CD-R for the Sega/Mega CD. I want to port it to other platforms which have a viable SDK, and all suggestions are welcome. I intend this tool to be community driven, so shoot with your features, graphics and code =)
Also, all code is open source and available to the public.
Yabause 0.9.11 Released
Posted by BlueCrab on Nov 27, 2011 at 7:17pm - 5 CommentsThe Yabause team has released version 0.9.11 of our Sega Saturn emulator. There have been plenty of changes made to the emulator since its last release over two and a half years ago. There haven't been all that many changes that are in the Dreamcast version beyond the normal slew of general updates, at least none that made it into the binary that's released yet. I wasn't about to let that stand in the way though of delivering the core updates that have come with the rest of the release.
Anyway, you can grab the Dreamcast version from the Sourceforge download page here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/yabause ... 2/download
Or you can grab the source code and all the other versions from the Yabause download page:
