Project 64 started close to 3 decades ago and has seen many changes and revisions over the years, friends have come and gone but we have all grown up together.
Of those revisions, it was decided to continue programming using the original 1.6 source, leading to Project64_Legacy.
Legacy means to not only allow games to run smoothly as we have seen in Project64 1.6.1 but to do so without hacks and various tricks that compromise stability.
Achievements include:
*Vulnerability found within Project64 1.6 through 1.7.2 is patched.
*Jabo Texture loading/creation corrected with exclusive Jabo Direct3D8_1.7.0.47a
*Dialogs in full-screen.
*Default Plugins with per-game settings (Video, Audio, RSP).
*Ique with full cheat support for known games.
*Online RDX support is accessed through rom browser...

This is an easy to use utility for performing some tasks on SNES / SFC ROMs!

Following functions are included:

Add header: adds an empty header
Remove header: removes an existing header
Edit ROM information like title, country/region and version
Fix checksum: fixes a broken checksum. You always should do this before saving, if possible. Please note that some beta or demo ROMs have an odd checksum anyway …
Fix ROM size: fixes wrong internal ROM size information (useful for some ROM hacks)
Expand ROM: expands ROM to a specific size up to 64 Mbit (BS-X up to 32 Mbit). Mirror option should only be used, when there are problems with standard expanding. Always check if your ROM still works after doing this!
Split ROM: splits ROM into multiple parts
SwapBin: swaps binaries to get a “Close-to-SNES-Mask-ROM”-layout (27C801)
Deinterleave: some copy stations like “Game Doctor SF” or “Super UFO” use interleaving when dumping HiROM games. This will reverse...

Brand new Guide for the Creation & Use of Jabo 1.7 Format Textures using Project64 3.x

We are also proud to host the Unofficial Release version of Jabo_Direct3D8_1.7.0.57 ver 6 to be compliant without issue
for continued use on Project64 3.x and up.

Changelog:

Project64 Direct3D Viedo Plugin and Jabo Config Support Ini (Unofficial Release)
Jabo's Direct3D8 1.7.0.57-ver6, to be used with PJ64 2.x-4.x

Released by PJ64LegacyTeam By kind permission of Jabo

Changes:

• Improved compatibility with PJ64 2.x-4.x
• Changed the section name the plugin is looking for "Basic Mode=0" from [default] to [Settings]. Fixes displaying the Advanced settings tab.
• The ROM settings "Resolution Width", "Resolution Height", "ClearvFrame", "Aspect Correction" were requesting the emulator to save to Project64.rdb before. Redirected them to save to Project64.cfg like all the rest.
• Disabled "d3d syslog.txt" which affected gameplay performance and could...

Today’s the day for MAME 0.267, our midyear release. This month, we’ve got a brand new Z80 CPU core. It’s going to help us support more of the extensive family of Z80-like CPUs and also allow more precise control over bus timings. Speaking of CPU emulation, there are some nice fixes for long-standing Motorola 68k floating point unit bugs. They’re particularly noticeable in classic Mac applications whenever trigonometry is involved, but they also help some arcade systems.

The Tomy Prin-C children’s sticker designer system has come to life this month, with inputs and video output, and enough bug fixes to the Fujitsu F2MC-16 CPU core to get the software running. The printer isn’t emulated, but you can still have fun experimenting with this unique system. If you want something a bit more grown-up, some DMA fixes allow the MIPS-based Sony NEWS workstations to boot the earlier NEWS-OS 4.1R, and there’s a new software list with installation media...

Lime3DS is a project which aims to revive and continue work on Citra, a popular open-source Nintendo 3DS emulator which ceased development.

Flycast Dojo is a fork of Flycast, a multi-platform emulator Sega Dreamcast, Naomi/2 and Atomiswave derived from Reicast, with an emphasis on netplay features and playback.

Flycast Dojo can be recovered from GitHub or as part of the Fightcade matchmaking service. Regardless of how you get it, you will always have the option of using it autonomously for P2P games using matching codes on a matchmaking Internet server, via a direct IP connection or a virtual LAN such as zeroTier or Radmin.

The main changes are:

– Stream Receive: Force virtual assignment when mode toggled. Should not be saved.
– GUI, Spectate Match Code Sessions and Relays, convert to Popup
– Relays: Allow mode selection after GUI cancel
– Rename SpectateMatchCode...

In summary:

– Yeah well I finally was convinced to release an update to have sfz3mix, and it was quite a lot of work for what was supposed to be just a hack... It's actually the biggest cps2 game so far, using a resolution higher than the original hardware and with such hugely rough regions that it had to use quite a few modifications in the emulation to work. You have the links in the forum to the site’s project, thanks to zero800 for that.
It also obliged me to fix some bugs in the cps2 emulation, so there should be some improvement especially related to line scroll in the background layer which sfz3 uses a lot.

– Except that ffman1985 did it again, he added a lot of console scripts, as a reminder the neoge oneo are for aes only, non arcade mode. His new scripts are for at least fatal fury special...
