Tom Walker has released version 0.51 of RPCemu.

This new version fixes some problems with palette corruption.

V0.51 can be downloaded from Tom's Arculator site.

Yeserday, Tom Walker also released Version 1.2 of B-Em, just in case you are interested.

Venice Wars 1.30 has been added to the downloads section at My RISC OS.

You must be a member of My RISC OS to download the files, it only takes five minutes and it's free!

Venice Wars is a great new game from Blasts of the Xtreme for MarsQuake. Venice Wars currently has eight levels and is still under development.

Requirements: SparkFS, SparkPlug or ArcFS PackDir MarsQuake.

You can now discuss things RISC OS Games related with others in the new AcornGamez forum or just socalize!

Here's the link.

A visitor to the BOTX site e-mailed me saying that the link to download Venice Wars 1.30 was dead.

I've now fixed it and it can now be downloaded from here.

Colin Ferris has updated Z80Em to be fully 32-Bit compatible.

Here's the new features:

• Now runs on Iyonix
• Multitasking window can now be resized on RISC OS 3.6 or above (1x or 2x)
• On Iyonix multitasking window can be resized between 2x and 4x.
• Many opcodes rewritten - there are now no games that are known not to work!
• Tested on Virtual A5000/RPC and RISC OS Select/Adjust

I expect that Version 4.00 users will be upgraded via e-mail.

There's more information on Murklesoft's website.

Z80Em can be bought for £15 single user and upgrades to version 4 will cost you £10. 

If you've had problems playing ACED release 2 on an Iyonix then download ACED R2B from here.

Jason Tribbeck says that this release should fix that problem.

If you've had problems on an A9Home then you will have to wait until a video driver has been released from Advantage Six.

Jason is currently trying to solve the problem with viewfinder equiped machines.

ACED can now be found in the "software" section of Jason's site.

Want to make some levels for a game but there isn't a level editor available?

If you do, DScript might be for you.

If you have the time then you can create your own level editor for a certain game.

For more information on DScript and to download it visit Marc's site.

A board for RISC OS Ankh related discussion has been added to the AcornGamez forum.

For those of you that prefer games in their original packaging or for those of you that don't own a CD drive would be interested to know that Wolfenstein 3D is being sold on eBay and there are four bids at the moment.

The current bid is £3.20, if you can't get a copy then CJE Micro's might have some copies left in stock but the cost might be a bit more.

There is no reserve for this, if you don't mind the packaging then you could buy a copy of The RiscUser in a Nutshells CD from R-Comp, which has a copy of Wolfenstein 3D on the disc and lots more!
