Now we kick of a hat-trick of emulators for the Nintendo GameCube and Wii with this updated port of the excellent GameBoy Advance emulator VisualBoy Advance which has this news:
# Improved stability
# Fixed broken SDHC from HBC 1.0.2 update
# Fixed issues with returning to menu from in-game
# Add option to disable rumble
# Auto-determines if HBC is present - returns to Wii menu otherwise
Kuwangers updated this GameBoy Colour emulator for the GameBoy Advance now so let’s see what he had to say about it:
I’ve just noticed an odd bug with my fork of Goomba. For some reason, whenever Super Mario Land starts up, the palette is messed up. This bug is apparently at least as old as my v2.32 fork (and probably earlier).
So, I’ve updated my fork to (hopefully) fix the problem by fixing custom palette loading.’
If you are new to MESS think of it as the home system version of Mame, which it’s born from, as it’s basically just that, of course that’s putting it very basically as there is a little more to it than that with changes beyond what Mame has but that’s the essence of it, so then what’s new in this version? let’s take a look:

Get it! It runs Daytona and all others fantastic!!!!!
--- HISTORY ---
v0.9
Lots of changes in this version:
Fixed TGP emulation bugs and added missing opcodes. Virtua Fighter 2 and
Virtua Cop 2 are now playable. There is still a bug with VF2 hair/body collisions, probably another TGP bug, but it's quite hard to find...
Fixed I960 bug that caused daytona invisible walls/holes in the road.
Fixed timer bug that caused missing hair in Fighting vipers, tails in sonic and slow cars in Sega Rally (although they still don't work properly).
Added support for "return to neutral". Enable it with HoldGears=1 option in emulator.ini. This setting will cause the emu to return to neutral when no gear button is pressed.
Redone rasterizer color decoding and texture mapping. Now it works the same way the real hardware does, performing all the same table lookups and calculations, so color should be accurate now. The color decoding is now done at pixel shader level so you'll need a PS 2.0 capable video card in order to run the emulator now.
Fixed white borders in some transparent textures.
Redone texture caching code. Improved dirty texture detection. Fixes wrong textures in some games when a new texture overlaps partially with an existing one.
Changed ManxTT sound roms to the Twin ones. The previous romset was using the Deluxe ones that have 2 sound boards. Fixes the "japanese speech when braking" bug .Set the machine to Twin.
Added 2 mice support for shooting games. Enable it with RawInput=1 in emulator.ini. Read some other options there to tell the emu how to map a mouse to a player. When using RawInput the mouse will be locked to the emulator window. In order to switch to another window, either press Alt to bring the menu and unlock the mouse or use Alt-Tab to switch to another application.
Fixed Alt key not activating the window menu.
Fixed MB86235 bug when handling denormalized numbers that caused top skater and overrev lock the emu sometimes.
Fixed corrupt textures sometimes when loading a savestate
Fixed frameskipping bug that caused some data not being updated in the TGP memory when frameskipping (daytona windows not updating windows after entering/leaving the tunnel)
Added an option to hide the crosshair in shooting games (DrawCross=0 in emulator.ini)
Fixed Daytona to the maxx rom loading that caused wrong and missing graphics.
Improved FM emulation support to the SCSP for some HOTD tunes requiring it.
Fixed various bugs in the new MultiPCM sound emulation, causing some wrong loops and sounds.
Fixed meshed transparencies size. Now they will scale to the selected resolution.
Fixed specular highlights calculation.
Added Daytona USA '93 edition and Daytona USA: GTX 2004.
Added Rail Chase 2
Added Virtua Cop 2
Added Virtua Fighter 2, Rev A, Rev B and 2.1
Added Sega Water Ski. The current sound rom dump seems to be bad so the game will run without sound. This game will start in Japan region mode. To change the region, enter Test menu (F2) and press the sequence up,up,down,down,service (f1),test (f2)
Added Indianapolis 500 Rev A
Changed romsets to match MAME as much as possible.
