Nebelwurfer HQ is proud to release its 0.70 patch for Dreamcast Advanced Daisenryaku 2001.
Latest Patch fixes: All the Dialog Screens that contained Japanese text as part of the background image have been translated.
All of the scenarios in the Alternate History and American Front sections of the Campaign have been translated. This brings the count to 78 out of 103 campaign scenarios translated.
This should make the game playable. There is still some untranslated Japanese text that appears in the game. Mostly these are error messages that appear when you do something wrong. All the scenarios needed to play the campaign to a successful conclusion are now translated. I estimate that the translation is 70% complete.
Remaining Tasks:
Translate the remaining 25 campaign scenarios from 1943-1945 on the Eastern Front, Western Front, and Italian Front. These are the scenarios where Germany is mostly on the defensive up until their final collapse.
Optional: (I may be burned out before I get to these)
Translate the 9 scenarios that are only available in Scenario Mode.
Translate the Menus used when playing in Scenario Mode.
Translate the Menus used when using the Scenario Editor
Translate the Help Topics used in Scenario Editor Mode

Normally I don't have much interest in stuff like this, but this history of PC audio is dripping with nostalgia. From the bleeps and bloops of the PC Jr to the Gravis Ultrasound I lusted after while stuck with an Adlib ... it warms the cockles of my old-man heart. Not sure that Monkey Island was the right demo choice, but hey.

Elaborating on an item previously mentioned among last weekend’s Cornell final projects list, this time with video:
For their ECE final project, [Adam Papamarcos] and [Kerran Flanagan] implemented a real-time video object tracking system centered around an ATmega644 8-bit microcontroller. Their board ingests an NTSC video camera feed, samples frames at a coarse 39×60 pixel resolution (sufficient for simple games), processes the input to recognize objects and then drives a TV output using the OSD display chip from a video camera (this chip also recognizes the horizontal and vertical sync pulses from the input video signal, which the CPU uses to synchronize the digitizing step). Pretty amazing work all around.
Sometimes clever projects online are scant on information…but as this is their final grade, they’ve left no detail to speculation. Along with a great explanation of the system and its specific challenges, there’s complete source code, schematics, a parts list, the whole nine yards. Come on, guys! You’re making the rest of us look bad… Videos after the break…

News via http://retroactionmagazine.com/retro...t-lore-remake/
“The original Knight Lore is considered by many as a true classic game…” Yes, I’m quoting myself here. “Developed and released by Ultimate Play the Game on the Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, MSX, and the BBC in 1984,” the game was updated with a version for the MSX2 (released last year and was reviewed in issue 3 of Retroaction), we now have an updated remake for the PC. The development team at Retrospec have been working on this game for several years now and the game is finally ready to download. Once again, you can play Sabreman as he traverses the isometric world searching for the a magic potion that can cure his werewolf curse.

News via http://retroactionmagazine.com/retro...m-ufo-defense/
This is a fine feature and has been running over at Racketboy for some time now, but I felt paricularly compelled to check out the choice of game this time. UFO: Enemy unknown (aka X-Com UFO Defence) is the game chosen this time and was developed by Julian Gollop, who happened to produce one of my own fave games of all time, and the predecessor to the X-Com series: Laser Squad (which was actually developed by Gollop’s team known as Target Games – a fact that is often incorrect on the ‘net).
Basically, the Together Retro Game Club invites gamers to play the chosen game and have informative discussions on it. A good idea, I think, so why not try the game out and drop into the Racketboy forums to give your opinion on the game.

Namco Bandai has announced that this E3 will see "the worldwide premiere of the newest Pac-Man project". An event invitation sent to members of the press says attendees should "prepare to witness the next evolution" of Pac-Man and promises playable versions of "unreleased titles on console, mobile, arcade, and more".
It's currently unclear whether the invite refers to the four-player Pac-Man Battle Royale that was recently spotted at Amusement Expo 2010 or some entirely new Pac-Man game. A Namco representative refused to comment on the matter.
The event is scheduled for the evening of 15th June.

Sure, they're stepping all over proprietary rights and copyright, but something must be said about the amount of bliss-filled nostalgia inside Exploding Rabbit's Super Mario Crossover. If the plumbers never really did it for you, you can now kill those goombas as Link, Mega Man, Samus, Simon Belmont, or Contra's Bill. Goodbye jumping and spitting; hello slicing, whipping, and shooting. Is this one of the early firsts in the new genre of video game mashups?

Sprite_tm] dusted off his assembly skills and managed to emulate a Z80 computer using an AVR ATmega88. He’s using an SD card in place of the floppy and a 128 KB DRAM chip to handle the memory for the emulated machine. An FT232 board gives him terminal access which he uses for input and display. As you can see, the hardware is much simpler than building the original would have been. He makes up for this with complicated firmware. In the end, the emulated core occupies about 2 KB of programming space after he followed the Z80 Propeller project’s idea of dividing the instructions into different modules and using a lookup table to access them.
