This is DGen/SDL, a semi-fantastic emulator for Unix-esque operating systems
supported by the Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) library. It produces a virtual
environment in which Sega Genesis (MegaDrive outside the US) games may run
with fairly accurate audio and video.
Arnold is an Amstrad CPC, Amstrad CPC+ and KC Compact emulator.
Arnold is accurate and emulates the Amstrad systems to the cycle
level. It also emulates 99% of all demo effects.

- Everything from MESS CVS.
- Reapplied David Mitchell's fix for the XInput inertial effect when
a mouse or spinner is used. (Jake Stookey)
- Added support for controllor setup via "-ctrlr". Note that "-hotrod"
and "-hotrodse" have been replaced by "-ctrlr HotRod" and "-ctlrlr
HotRodSE".

(Philip Kendall).

RZX file (Philip Kendall).
* listbasic: a line number of >= 16384 implies the end of BASIC,
not just > 16384 (Darren Salt).
* listbasic: formatting improvements and support for 128K and
TC2068 keywords (Darren Salt).
* listbasic: add man page (Philip Kendall).

* Very basic support for RZX files.
Changes 0.6.1:
* A Z80 core rewrite such that it's now generated from the regular
patterns in the instruction set. This shouldn't have any effect
as yet, but will make performance enhancements easier to do in
the future (Philip Kendall).
* On the TC2068, the ROM traps apply only when in the EXROM and
memory contention applies only in the HOME bank (Fredrick
Meunier).
* On the 128K Spectrum, use the correct port mask when checking
for contention on the 'memory control' port (Philip Kendall).
* RZX competition mode (Philip Kendall).
* Add AY logging to .psg files (Matthew Westcott)

framebuffer user interface (Witold Filipczyk).
* Add confirmation dialogs before resetting or quitting under the
GTK+ UI (Philip Kendall).
ZX Spectrum emulator files slightly easier. It is intended to be usable
on Unix variants, Win32 and MacOSX.
Changes 0.2.0:
* libspectrum 0.2.0 released.
* Various data structures (snapshots, tapes, tape blocks) which
were previously directly accessible are now accessible only via
wrapper functions. This should improve future binary
compatability, but at the cost of breaking it for this release
(Philip Kendall).
* Change the API for reading/writing snapshots to be more general.
The old API still exists, but is deprecated (Philip Kendall).
* Support for reading .szx, .zxs, .sp, .snp and +D snapshots
(Philip Kendall).

Kempston joysticks (Fredrick Meunier).
* Use <stdint.h> to give us the <n>-bit types if it's available
(Philip Kendall).
* Ignore links to external snapshots from RZX files, rather than
trying to interpret the path as a snapshot (Philip Kendall).

Dega is a Sega Master System, Sega Mark III and Sega Game Gear emulator.
It uses the SDL library.
Provided by pancake@phreaker.net in pkgsrc-wip with some minor changes by me.
USE_GCC2 or USE_GCC3 where appropriate.
the functionality of the old gcc.buildlink2.mk has been rolled into
compiler.mk now, which is automatically used.
more changes to come later...
USE_PKGINSTALL is "YES". bsd.pkg.install.mk will no longer automatically
pick up a INSTALL/DEINSTALL script in the package directory and assume that
you want it for the corresponding *_EXTRA_TMPL variable.
Changes since previous version:
* make compilable with kernel >1.6V - the proc->lwp change was backed
off
* included files.vmware to distribution, to help easily compile
the modules into kernel, rather than compiling than as LKM
The proc->lwp backout fix for >1.6V contributed in pkg/22538
by Juergen Hannken-Illjes.
Changes since 0.71.1 include:
- Everything from MAME 0.72 and MESS 0.72.
- The various effects enabled by -effect now work with rotation enabled.
(Shyouzou Sugitani)
- The Xv target supports more effects. (Shyouzou Sugitani)
- The rc parsing code displays more compact and readable error messages.
(Andre Majorel)
- Xv windowed mode is now enabled with "-x11-mode 2" or "-x11 2", and
Xv fullscreen mode is enabled with "-x11-mode 3" or "-x11 3". The
"-[no]xv" and "-fullscreen" switches are no longer available.
- Added hotkey switching for Xv windowed mode via ALT + DEL and Xv
fullscreen mode via ALT + END.
- Added -widescreen for Xv. This shrinks the width of the output for
display on a widescreen TV. (Per Wigren)

Corrected the n-way set associative cache. Added functionality to the system
co-processor to allow me to read the cycle counter, cache hit counter, and
cache miss counter in an application, using register 11 with opcode 2 set to
