- Improved and fixed some minor issues

Dapplegrey 7: 64-Bit, Retina, and macOS 10.9 minimum

- Being 64-Bit now, Dapplegrey 7.0 requires Mac OS X 10.9 minimum. Optimized for Retina graphical devices.
- Sound Blaster window reduces number of toolbar items a bit, combining Sound Blaster 1 with 1 Pro and 2 with 2 Pro, using a checkbox to determine if Pro is the one to be used or not.
- When using a DOSBox SVN 2018 version (or an upcoming one), the setting oplemu=mame is available now.
- The following joystick options found in 2018 SVN are available: Circularinput and deadzone, including a redesigned Joystick sheet window when using current DOSBox SVN versions.
- Attempting to remove a game entry now reveals the game title to be rmvd. When editing AUTOEXEC.BAT lines, the game title the lines belongs to will be mentioned now.
- Dropped Hard Disk Drive and Floppy images with suffix .dmg will be recognized now. DOSBox Love is supported now, including its glide settings.
- IMGMakeGUI window has been revisited, to match hard disk drive image size given by DOSBox-X. This window can be reached by the DOSBox menu item, when a DOSBox port is used that support the ImgMake command (MB5, MB6, DOSBox-X).

- Use of Language Files is an option in the Preferences window now as well. Before, there was just a path to Language File given. Now, when starting DOSBox, a Language File will only be used if this option (located in the main Preferences window) is activated. If the use of Language Files is activated in the main Preferences window, you can still de-activate it in the particular game profiles. Remember, when DOSBox quits unexpectedly after starting up, an incompatible Language File may be the reason of.
- Adds a new menu item in the DOSBox menu to execute the DOSBox internal Help command.
- When using a DOSBox version prior to 0.73, the CPU type window now gives a reminder that CPU type is not supported with.

While it’s been long enough since mGBA 0.6.0 came out that the release of mGBA 0.7.0 has seemed like it may never happen, I’m glad to say we’re finally reaching the end of mGBA 0.6’s time. Due to significant life changes, not the least of which is getting a new job with a long, tiring commute, I’ve not has as much time to do serious feature work. However, there have been plenty of changes, fixes, improvements under the hood. Though mGBA 0.7.0 is almost ready I’d like to see a signficant wave of testing and bugfixes before I deem it stable. As such, mGBA 0.7 beta 1 is now available, and hopefully the release of mGBA 0.7.0 will be out within a week or two.

This time around the biggest areas of change are not new features, but rather significant improvements in existing areas. Please focus on these while testing and report any and all bugs on GitHub or email bugs@mgba.io.

You know what day it is? It’s MAME 0.202 release day! This month’s release is chock full of new versions of previously supported games. We’ve added the Japanese releases of Namco’s Four Trax, and Taito’s Midnight Landing, the European release of Kaneko’s Gals Panic 4, a very rare unprotected version of Orca’s River Patrol, a version of Cinematronics’ Star Castle for cocktail cabinets, and a newer version of Konami’s WEC Le Mans 24. Perhaps the most interesting new version of an arcade game to be added is the final release version of Sega’s Toki no Senshi – Chrono Soldier. It turns out the previously-supported set was a somewhat unfinished prototype.

Improvements include more supported drawing modes for PlayStation and PowerVR2 (NAOMI/Dreamcast), fewer graphical glitches in Super Shanghai Dragon’s Eye, and fixes for sprite priority in Beast Busters and Pac-Land. The CRT simulation shaders now correctly apply the defocus effect after the scanline effect. Possibly the most exciting progress this month is in UNIX workstation emulation. InterPro networking is now supported, and it’s now possible to install and run SunOS 4.1.4 on emulated sun4c systems including the SunView graphical environment.

There are plenty more reasons to update, including more Apple II fixes, enough fixes to make the Jugend+Technik CompJU+TEr usable, further progress on NEC PC-FX sound emulation, and another supported US NeoGeo MVS BIOS. Oh, and if you’re a fan of gambling games, Lucky Ball 96 from Sielcon Games in Argentina is now playable.
