• Kawaks Discontinued: A direct quote from Mhz, taken from the cps2shock IRC channel:     Quote.....     Kawaks discontinuated, source to be released one of these days, prolly...       This is sad news indeed Although I personally prefer Nebula, Kawaks was still a great emulator, which had far superior netplay support. Mhz's emu will be missed. - cyrussd

• CPS2emu chat online: I know alot of you have been requesting this feature for sometime now, so I hope you all enjoy Also, you DO NOT need an account to chat, so don't be shy, let's see some non-members in the chat room - cyrussd • Nebula v2.20: El Semi has released an update today for his awesome, multi-platform emulator, the biggest addition this time is highscore saving for CPS1 and CPS2 games! Here's the complete list of changes for this version: CPS2 Fixed some sprite/BG desyncs in Gigawing. Fixed SFA3 crashing with latest Mike Haggar's cheats. CPS1 Added a bunch of SF2 hacks (not all fully working though). GENERAL Added highscore saving for CPS2 games. Not all games are added yet. Almost all CPS2 games are supported, and some CPS1 too. It will use an external database to store the highscore data. You can convert a MAME Hiscore.dat file to nebula's internal DB with the command "nebula -hiconv" having the hiscore.dat file in the nebula dir, it will build HISCORES.DB in the HISCORES dir. You should delete all the .HI files to avoid problems when you change the HISCORE DB. To turn off hiscore saving, just delete HISCORES.DB from the HISCORES dir. You will find the new version on our Downloads page. - cyrussd

In the future i would like this section to expand and if you think of anything you would like added email me (audience participation, isn't great? ) feel free to post your comments in the forum or email me. - Terminal
