"Hey there ROM readers! I've got an absolute whopper of a story this issue with a genuine longform dive into the emulation of the LaserActive, plus a bit of backstory on the new fan translation of the Cowboy Bebop game for PS2, plus your usual quick hits on emulator improvements, FPGA happenings and other fan translation progress. That means there's absolutely no more time or space to waste on this intro.

LET'S GET TO IT."

"This issue of Read Only Memo is coming to you from....... THE FUTURE!!!!

While it may look the same in your browser/email client as last issue did two weeks ago, everything's changed. Okay, one thing's changed. Ghost, the lovely publishing platform I use, just launched a big 6.0 update, bringing with it support for the open social web. The fediverse.

The thing that, uh, look it's pretty hard to sum up but it's Mastodon and Bluesky and Threads and maybe the modern evolution of RSS feed reading and either the thing that's gonna save the internet from siloed tech megacorp strangleholds or kinda just peter out and not actaully matter all that much a few years from now.

Hopefully not that latter thing!

Ghost's implementation of the social web is brand new and not, at this exact moment, what I'd call exactly easy or intuitive to tap into. But existing is the first step! And if you're real savvy about your open protocols and whatnot you might know what it means when I say you should be able to now read each new issue of the newsletter by following @feed@readonlymemo.com. At least that's what this card says!"

MAME 0.279 is here at last! Building on the work in recent releases, this month you’ll get to see proper lighting and fixes for logic bugs in Sega Model 2 games. Philips CD-i emulation keeps improving as well, including better cursor behaviour and XA audio fixes this month. While we’re talking about things you can see, MAME now emulates the “snow” effect on early ZX Spectrum models caused by memory refresh cycles interfering with video RAM accesses. Graphical issues in various Konami and Irem games have been fixed, and there are noticeable improvements to graphics in some Namco System 23 games.

There’s been more work this month on support for NES-inspired chips from V.R. Technology, bringing some of these low-cost games closer to working. There are lots of improvements for emulated Macs, particularly the PowerBook Duo sub-notebooks, and fixes for a few issues with the Apple IIgs as well. The Casio FZ-1 and related sampling synthesisers now have preliminary sound output. The Sharp MZ-5500 computers are also starting to show some life, although emulation is far from complete.

As always, you can read about everything that changed this month in the whatsnew.txt file, and source code and 64-bit Windows binary packages are available from the download page.

In the early days, Super Nintendo Emulation was inaccurate and required a fast Pentium II PC to run at full speeds with sound, but in 1997 everything changed with the released on ZSNES, a blazingly fast SNES emulator written entirely in x86 assembly language that ran even on a 486 PC with playable speeds. While other emulators existed, ZSNES brought emulation to the masses with its UI and features.
