16.04.2025 - Plus/4 emulator YAPE 1.2.6 released
YAPE is a decent no-nonsense Plus/4 emulator thats being developed for 10+ years. It is available in Windows as well as multiplatform editions. A much anticipated new bugfix release. Alas, the previous one introduced some really nasty regression bugs which had to be ironed out: - D82 image support in IEC mode, - automatic line feed bug fixed in MPS801/803 mode, - re-enabled attach disk image in 1551 mode, - sound device selection fix, - TED sound frequency regression fix, - monitor opcode cache clear on memory overwrite

13.04.2025 - Amiga game 'Vigilante' (WIP) - Demo version 0.5 released
'Vigilante' is a 1988 beat 'em up arcade video game. It is considered as a spiritual sequel to Irem's earlier Kung-Fu Master. There is work going on to port the Sega Master System version to Amiga and with V0.5 of the demo version there are lots of improvments, like added parallax scrolling to level 2, 3, 4 and 5, improved enemies AI and various optimizations and bugfixes. Don't forget to drop some coins for the developer Neeso Games to get him going, when downloading the demo files.
