Keeping the PlayStation 2 Alive: Inside the World of the PCSX2 Emulator

For more than two decades PCSX2 has been the go-to PlayStation 2 emulator, letting players revisit one of gaming’s most iconic libraries on modern hardware. What began as a scrappy open-source project has grown into a polished emulator with wide compatibility, powerful upscaling, and a dedicated community of contributors

New blog post: Macintosh Emulation and Printing using Mini VMac on a PocketCHIP

In this post I go over how I got Mini VMac compiled on the PocketCHIP with LocalTalk options enabled. I also go over how I printed to a real ImageWriter II as well as browsed the web with Netscape 2.0!

Thanks in advance for a boost!

On the screen of the PocketCHIP is the same document that's in the printer but in color as displayed in Quark XPress.

At least two kits that let you convert LEGO's Game Boy model kit into a fully playable handheld game console are on the way. One is coming to Kickstarter Oct 28, but it only supports emulation. A kit that supports original cartridges is likely coming later. https://www.theverge.com/news/805376/lego-game-boy-brickboy-emulator-kickstarter #LEGOGameBoy #BrickBoy #Emulation #Crowdfunding #RetroGaming

Un projet à garder à l'oeil : ATL (Android Translation Layer).
En gros, ATL est à Android ce que Wine/Proton est à Windows.
Cela devrait aider à faire tourner directement les applications Android sous Linux, sans avoir à mettre un système Android entier dans une VM.

Does anyone still remember "FURY 3" ? As one of the earliest titles for Windows 95, it was used extensively in Microsoft's advertising campaign for the system. The game is actually fairly simple and runs smoothly even within an 86Box VM!

Time to have fun! Windows 95 PLUS! adds some much needed colours to Windows 95. And "3D Pinball - Space Cadet" and "Microsoft Hover!" provide a bit of leisure time. Oh, well... it's something. 😜

Tonight, I'm having an absolute blast playing around with Microsoft's Flight Simulator 4.0 and its "Experimental Jet Aircraft" from the "Aircraft & Scenery Designer" expansion.

Seeing this old game, which is so dear to my heart, running super smooth in full SVGA resolution and with all of this extra in-game content makes my inner 12 year old jump up and down from excitement! This is what retro gaming is all about!

zen80 emulator UPDATE:

Published a detailed implementation status report and instruction set coverage for our Z80 emulator in Go.

https://github.com/ha1tch/zen80/blob/main/COVERAGE.md

All documented Z80 instructions work correctly. Most undocumented features implemented, with some known gaps: IXH/IXL register access, simplified I/O flags, and a few edge cases in block instructions.

The emulator runs most Z80 software perfectly - it's only software relying on obscure undocumented behaviours that might have issues.
Full instruction-by-instruction breakdown now in the repo, with every opcode mapped to its implementation function and realistic status markers.

🎮 DuckStation PS1 Emulator Dev May Drop Linux Support After AUR Frustrations

｢ Arch users repeatedly ignored official guidelines, preferring instead to use unofficial, often broken packages, and subsequently directing complaints to him rather than the package maintainers ｣
