• Battle Circuit (Euro 970319) on ABEM: Thats right, you too can be the proud owner of these newly dumped program ROMs, simply make your way to ABEM right now - cyrussd • CPS2 board updates: I recieved an email from will today regarding CPS2Shock and a few of his boards; Raz now has Dimahoo (USA 000121) XORs in his possession, plus 1944: The Loop Master (USA 000620) and (Japan 000620) have been fully dumped by Guru, but not XOR'd yet. I updated our Game List with this new info, and mucho thanx will - cyrussd • ClrMamePro v2.84: Big update today if you are into collecting those massive CHD files. Today's release adds a full integrity check for chd files -- it tests and decompresses each single chd block and calculates the md5s of the (decompressed) hdimage. This can take some time, but have no fear, you will see a 2nd progressbar while scanning and you can skip the test by clicking the progress window's cancel button. You can get it on our Downloads page. - cyrussd

• Nebula v2.21: El Semi has released a new version of his emu today, with the biggest additions this time around being that the slowdown in Strikers 1945 Plus has been fixed, and support for Raz's Universe BIOS has been added. Here's the complete list directly from the horses mouth: CPS1 Fixed crashing in Punisher in the 2nd stage boss. CPS2 Improved VBlank timing. Fixes some problems with SFA3. NEOGEO Added support for the Universe BIOS. Go to Game->Neogeo Options and enable "Use Universe BIOS" to load it. The bios must be in a zip named uni-bios.zip (in the ROMS folder) and the rom MUST be named uni-bios.rom. When using universe bios, all neogeo options and cheats in nebula will be disabled, use the bios built-in region, machine type and cheats options. When using universe bios you'll see garbage during initial tests, don't worry, that's normal and doesn't cause any other problem. Fixed slowdowns in s1945p. GENERAL Fixed crashings if you have more than 4 joysticks connected. You will find this new version on our Downloads page. - cyrussd
