Denise v1.0.3.1 is released. Denise is a cycle accurate and platform independant c64 / amiga emulator. At the moment ONLY c64 cartridge, tape and prg files are supported and features like savestates are not available. My motivation for this project is understanding how it works and write clean and easy readable code.
Denise v1.0.3.1 changelog:
reduced drive thread cpu usage greatly (a extra core has consumed permanently 100%)
some system settings, which consumes additional cpu power, are highlighted
improved user input capture process
it's now easier to assign multiple inputs at once (i.e. Alt + Shift + S)
it's now selectable to overwrite (default) or append an existing mapping
added kernal, basic, char and 1541 bios files
can be replaced by custom versions

Hatari v2.2.0 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).

AppleWin v1.28.1.0 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 v1.28.1.0 Changelog:
[Change #523] Support Extended 80-Column Text/AppleColor Card's DHGR Mixed mode and 560x192 Mono mode.
[PR #620] Corrected a few symbol names in APPLE2E.SYM for the 80STORE and 80COL I/O addresses.
[Bug #617] Apple II,II+ keyboard: up/down arrow keys are now ignored.

AppleWin v1.28.0.0 Changelog:
– [Change #357] Resurrected the AppleWin 1.25 « Color (Standard) » video mode as « Color (RGB Monitor) ».
This is equivalent to emulating RGB video, ie. a video mode with sharp text and pixels.
NB. Unlike AppleWin 1.25, this is now cycle-accurate, so demos that synchronise with the video scanner will work correctly.
– [Change #603] Removed support for v1 save-state files.
Any v1 save-state files should be loaded into AppleWin 1.27, and then re-saved to a v2 save-state file.
– [Change #597] Removed the functionality for CTRL+F10 to reveal the mouse cursor.
– [Change #585] Added a ‘Swap’ HDD button to the Configuration->Input property sheet.
– [Bug #608] Mockingboard’s 6522 TIMER1 wasn’t generating an interrupt quickly enough for Broadside’s detection routine.
