AppleWin v1.27.12.0 is released. AppleWin (also known as Apple //e Emulator for Windows) is an open source software emulator for running Apple II programs in Microsoft Windows. AppleWin has support for most programs that could run either on the Apple II+ or the Apple IIe. By default, AppleWin emulates the Extended Keyboard IIe (better known as the Platinum IIe) with built-in 80-column text support, 128 kilobytes of RAM, two 5.25-inch floppy disk drives, a joystick, a serial card and 65C02 CPU. AppleWin supports lo-res, hi-res, and double hi-res graphics modes and can emulate both color and monochrome Apple II monitors; later versions of AppleWin also can emulate a television set used as a monitor. Both 40-column and 80-column text is supported.
AppleWin can emulate the Apple II joystick (using the PC's default controller), paddle controllers (using the computer mouse), and can also emulate the Apple II joystick using the PC keyboard. AppleWin can also use the PC speaker to emulate the Apple II's sound if no sound card is available (does not work under NT-based Windows versions). Full screen mode is available through the use of DirectX. Features added to the latest versions of AppleWin include Ethernet support using Uthernet, Mockingboard and Phasor sound card support, SSI263 speech synthesis, hard drive disk images and save states.
AppleWin v1.27.12.0 Changelog:
[Change #574] Add support for PAL/European or custom 8K video ROMs:
Added new command line switch: -videorom
Replaces the video ROM for the Enhanced //e.
Support video ROM sizes of 4K, 8K and 16K (top 8K only).
NB. The rocker switch is set to the European video ROM position.
F10 (for //e or Enhanced //e models) emulates the PAL //e's rocker switch (under the keyboard).
Use to toggle between European or US video ROM.
[Change #583] Added new switch: '-no-hook-alt':
Used to prevent left/right ALT from emulating Open/Solid Apple keys.
For European keyboards where AltGr is needed to type keys like '[',']'.

v1.2 of the English Translation has now been released. A lot of improvements have been made and this is now much more polished than the old version. The minigame crashing issue from v1.0 has been fixed. There are various graphic updates such as for world map names and minigames, and some new hacks added like for the dialog cursor and expanded title screen options. A new ending has also been created which appears after you beat the final boss.
Updates for the German version by Ghettoyouth and Spanish version by Crimental have also been recently released.

Today we have something special to present.
Earlier this year I was approached by Frazer Rhodes and Garry Casey to restore and host the Neo Geo fanzine: New Earth. Volume One consisting of 15 issues was completed rather quickly, but due to various circumstances, not to mention ongoing health issues, Volume 2 took a while longer to complete. Finally we are ready to release Volume 2, which means that all 15 issues of the second season are now ready to be read on the site itself, or to be downloaded in much higher quality for safekeeping. You can find Volume 2 on the following page.
Enjoy!

Marcin Siwek has let us know that his first Atari Lynx game called unseen is being currently in production. This text adventure consists of unique backdrops, multiple dialogue choices throughout the game and a few items to find. It is worth mentioning that there are a few different endings in game to achieve. Some of them will give you quite a challenge. The main focus of unseen, like in any other text based games, is the story, expressed with vague and oneiric tone. unseen have intense dark atmosphere, where not everything can be easily understood.

vhzc currently works on his Atari 2600 / Atari VCS game Peril. Take over a helicopter and guide it intact to the next screen.
Release notes:Now includes 17 screens and use the 2 playerscores minikernel instead the 6lives in order to show the lives AND the current level/screen. I have changed some sprites and the mechanics for some screens (bigger bullets, slower movement in the eye screen…). Still I have no harmony cart or similar, so I look for testers.

Some awesome news for retro gaming fans:
Atari certainly isn’t new to the retro bandwagon as it released various ‘Flashback’ consoles back in 2004-2011 but now, it’s coming back with two retro consoles! One of these is an extremely good-looking woodgrain handheld and the other is a plug-and-play TV joystick.
One of the consoles, which in my opinion is the most interesting, is called the “Atari Retro Handheld” and costs £34.99 (around 40€) which makes it a nice Christmas gift. Without a doubt, the main selling point of this handheld is its woodgrain aesthetic which mimics the look of the original Atari 2600. Other than looking good, it also offers a total of 50 retro games which isn’t shabby for the price (let’s face it, you’re paying less than 1£ a game!). Among these games, we find:
- Breakout
- AsteroidsCentipede
- Missile Command
- Millipede
- Unfortunately, the game line-up is missing some great Atari 2600 classics like Pitfall, Q*bert, Ms Pac Man (the original Pac Man wasn’t great on the 2600), Donkey Kong, Space Invaders and Dig Dug.
The joystick isn’t as interesting but it can still be a pretty nice gift to friends who love the Atari 2600!
If you’re not a fan of retro handhelds, you can also grab an “Atari Retro TV Joystick” which offers the same selection of games for a lower price of £24.99. The TV joystick comes in the form of the original Atari 2600 joystick but has a few extra buttons so that you can control the mini-console itself.
