Here's the article I was working on today, and the first I've written for The Register in a hot minute: a look at a new, generated-from-actual-1980s-hardware, 1.5-million-strong test suite for the Intel 286 and compatibles.

In 2025. Yes. Emulator devs are a different breed, I tell you, and we're all the richer for 'em.

EmuReady is a nice little site which was set up for users to report compatibility for ROMs running via #emulation

They've just reached over 1,000 reports!

Sure, its kinda niche - but for #gaming which favors SBC retro handhelds, its a nice one-stop-shop to find out 𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘭𝘺 what settings will work with your operating system, on a game you love!

I love these little projects, because the people behind them are so dedicated to what they love :)

Just updated iGame for Amiga to the latest version 2.6.0. Really useful when dealing with lots of WHDLoad game containers. I'm grateful to the developer to keep working on this gem for the classic Amiga Workbench 3.x in 2025.

APS3E is a PS3 emulator for Android. Right now, it doesn't support vibration feedback on the phone. Like, having in-game vibration events sent to the phone's vibrator. So every time there's an update, I check for it.

Does this one vibrate?

*loads Dragon Ball Raging Blast 2 and powers up* Are you feelin' it, Mr. Crabs? Are you feelin' it, Mr. Crabs? ... Nope. I feel nothing. I am void. I am oblivion!

Will this update do it for me? *Loads DBZ Raging Blast 2* Are you feelin' it now, Mr. Crabs? Huh? Feelin' the vibes? Nope. Still nothing.

Lol. I'll give it a few more months. It is the only PS3 emulator for Android that has an in-game screen TalkBack can focus on and describe, so that's why I use it over RPCSx. Also RPCSX doesn't even expose the game list to TalkBack so I have to suspend it and poke around like a blind man and hope I touched the right game. :)
