• Calice v0.6.0: Just when I thought this emu was dead, David has released an updated version with support for the latest CPS2 releases. I was hesitant to post it yesterday when I first heard about it, as the Calice homepage has yet to be updated, but rest assured this is an official release and not a hack. Take a look at the new games added: Vampire Hunter: Darkstalkers' Revenge (Japan 950316) Vampire Hunter: Darkstalkers' Revenge (Japan 950302) Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge (US 950406) Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge (US 950406) Dungeons & Dragons (Hispanic 940125) Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix (Hispanic 970904) Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix (Japan 970904) Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix (US 970904) Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix (Asia 970904) Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo (Japan 960620) The new version is available on our Downloads page. - cyrussd • ClrMamePro v2.66: Here is a special "fake raflsiau set" release, simply due to the fact that the above archive has been released and people are beginning to care about other checksum routines. Therefore Roman has added support for new routines (currently md5 but maybe replaced with sha1), along with a few other additions. Here's what's new: added scanner->optional md5 check for roms additional md5 work on parser, export datfile routines, dir2dat, setinfo window added scanner->"save logfile automatically" option scanner->save miss/have-list can now be done separately. As always, you will find it on our Downloads page. - cyrussd
