• EMUNews had these blurbs about NLKSNES...

  • NLKSNES ver 0.15(d) Released! Nerlaska has just released version
    0.15(d) of their Super Nintendo emulator for DOS. Here's
    what's new:
    
    Fixed a bug in HDMA that caused first line was bad
    displayed
    Fixed a bug in port 213c and 213d that caused some games
    worked so slowly
    Fixed another bug in IRQ handling
    Fixed sprite bug drawing
    Mosaic effect
    Back Color is now implemented
    Sub-screen addition and subtraction color is now
    implemented. In this version transparency effects are
    emulated in 256 color mode, this is fast, but the
    quality is worst than a real Super Nintendo
    
    Thanks to Kinopio for the e-mail.

• First SNEeSe Release Available! This is a brand new SNES emulator by Savoury SnaX.
  So far, SNEeSe runs only one ROM, a demo by Yoshi. This release is primarily aimed at proving that
  SNEeSe is not
  
  "This release is purely to proove I am serious about emulating the SNES. I know there are a lot of
  other emulators in the works, consider this another perspective.
  
  "This version of the code can do very little, it can't even execute ROMS other than the supplied
  PD demonstration. If you try another ROM (by renaming the file) dont email me saying it does not
  work, I know!"

• Gary has released a second beta of snes96 .73 for testing. There have been several fixes, including the save/load feature, as well as some bug fixes, to keep it from crashing on some games.

• GameMenu version 1.61 has been released. It is the official front end of the SNES Emulator Review team! Download it here.

• It seems that nearly all of the problems with Zelda 3 have been corrected. The only problem is the rain background..(darn) but all of the problems with the dungeon are FIXED! And to top it all off, it has some of the best sound I've heard. Get ready all of you Zelda fans... it is working!

• The information on Sound has 2 files for download. Z.zip and L.zip. A Zelda 3 .wav file recorded from the EMU and a Lufia 1 .wav file recorded from the Emulator. I suggest you download theses, as they are PRIME examples of the great strides made in sound emulation! Click here for the sound info.
