10. Emulator-News

He does it every month, so check out the updates from Mathias `AmiDog' Roslund. On his website there is a new smoother-running version of his WarpOS port of the C64 emulator Frodo, and a new revision of DarcNES, the multi-console emulator, which runs faster after he rewrote the joystick routines in PPC assembler.

At last, Steffen Haeuser released WarpSNES revision 5.0. This revision has been sped up thanks to chunkyppc.library and is based on the latest sources of the SNES9x emulator. WarpSNES v5.0 can be downloaded from the Aminet.

This month a new revision of the SNES9xGUI for WarpSNES has been released, which now supports the HAM mode settings for AGA. Revision 2.3 can be downloaded from http://www.airsoftsoftwair.de/

And now for something bizarre until you think about it, courtesy Paer Boberg (in the guide about famous things done on Amiga): in the past there was an add-on from Sega for the Amiga 500 to develop Sega Mega Drive games. The good old Amiga 500 was used for developing console games.... because the Mega Drive also used a Motorola 68000 processor.
