The Skunkboard is a very useful development tool but for people who want to develop carts it's lacking EEPROM support. Would it be possible for the Skunkboard to simulate this? The flash is already there...

Virtual Jaguar 2.0.0 has been released--and this time, comes with a pack-in: Downfall, which has been graciously provided by Reboot.

You can find the official release at icculus.org. We currently have source code (mainly for the Linux crowd) and a Win32 binary there; we're still waiting for goldenegg to get around to compiling a MacOSX binary. As soon as that goes live, we'll post an update in this thread.

Most questions can hopefully be answered by the built-in help; if not, we'll try our best to answer them. And please, don't bother with comparisons to other emus, it's a pointless waste of time and bandwidth.

Enjoy!

Did I say go and get yourself a sandwich? I SAID RIGHT NOW!!!1!!!!!111!!!

Err, uh, wait a minute. It's not ready.

Ok, well, maybe the preceding was a bit of an exaggeration. In non-market speak:

Most of the action has been going on in the qt-experimental branch and I held off announcing it because, well, it was in a very sad and broken state. But now it's actually looking pretty good, if I do say so myself. The adventurous can play with it by downloading and compiling from source. Point your handy-dandy svn tool at:

Once I get it to the place where it needs to be (basically, all GUI functionality in place and working) I'll be merging it back into trunk and it will be the mainline code from then on. All I ask is those who make binaries from this stuff and post them is not to misrepresent what it is, which is an SVN snapshot. Naturally, I'd be curious to know what issues people running into compiling this on the win32 platform (Mac too!). Post your experiences here and I'll try to respond as quickly as I can.

Thanks for reading.
