Easy to learn… difficult to master. Such was one of the mantras of the Atari 2600 in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. With the first Atari romhacks posted on RHDN comes eskayelle’s quadrilogy of Astroblast hacks, a fun space shooter where the player blasts meteors, spinners, pulsars, and UFOs, all on a quest to stay alive and achieve a personal best score.
Astroblast being both a paddle and a joystick game, emulators sometimes aren’t so friendly with the joystick’s horizontal movement velocities such that the game is playable on a d-pad. These romhacks solve for that without requiring players to search for configurations in any emulator. The mods also present different milestones for increasing difficulties, giving players options as to how and when they want to make the game a bit harder.
Check out these mods on the following RHDN pages!

AppleWin v1.29.8.0 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 v1.29.8.0 Changelog:
[Bug #749] Hotkeys to change emulation speed using Ctrl+n: now ignored if ALT is pressed.
[Bug #748] DiskII: data latch returns a rand() value when no disk is in drive.
[Bug #746] Debugger: correctly repaint Apple II screen when showing it from debugger.
[Bug #745] WOZ: Support for large tracks.

-left-alt-control-buttons : left-ctrl=button0, left-alt=button1
-right-alt-control-buttons : right-alt=button0, right-ctrl=button1
-swap-buttons : for swapping buttons 0 & 1
[Bug #733] Alternate fix for WOZ ‘Wasteland’.
[PR #723] Fixed way to clear a std::string.

Denise v1.0.7 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.

added a new aggressive fast-forward mode, which disables VIC-II Sequencer for a few frames

i.e. if ALT is released a few milliseconds sooner than 'W', it doesn't print a 'W'
bugfixed RawInput: some joystick types were not registered
unplugged joypads will not be forgot anymore
transfer file names of loaded software to the savestate description field

Square Enix today revealed it has delayed Final Fantasy VII Remake.
The remake of the PlayStation 1997 classic JRPG was scheduled for release on March 3 this year, but has been pushed back to April 10.
The long-awaited remake was first revealed at E3 2015, and Square Enix has remained tight lipped about its progress since.
However, in a rare update from Square Enix, producer Yoshinori Kitase confirmed the month delay.
"We are making this tough decision in order to give ourselves a few extra weeks to apply final polish to the game and to deliver you with the best possible experience," he said on Twitter.
