It was brought to my notice that our PSX Modifications section had some broken links because our files hadn't been moved in a previous server migration. Zorlon has taken the effort to re-upload his Monopoly and Resident Evil Director's Cut (Uncut) modifications. What are PSX Mods ? Well, these are titles that Zorlon has modified to sometimes give them a new feel and sometimes to add something new. For example, Monopoly features cards that are related somehow to the console/emulation scene as well as to emuparadise! For more details, check out Zorlon's Playstation Modification Section.

After all the excitement over our Sega Naomi titles from last week, here are some peaceful uncontroversial Nintendo DS updates =)

Mostly Korean titles but you've got a Sherlock Holmes game in there. Wonder what that's all about.. Either way, enjoy the new additions and keep coming back for more! Cheers!

-> Nintendo DS Roms

After a long time the arcade roms section has been updated today. I've added 39 NAOMI titles to our arcade section. The NAOMI was an arcade board by Sega which basically had similar abilities to the Dreamcast but was more powerful because it had twice the amount of RAM. It had some of the best fighting games available at the time and most NAOMI titles were downsized and ported to the Dreamcast. (Crazy Taxi anyone ?)

I've also added nullDC NAOMI and Makaron as emulators under Quick Downloads for every NAOMI GD-ROM Image. Makaron boasts a pretty high compatibility with NAOMI but unfortunately is only available for Windows platforms. Mac/*nix users are basically out of luck :(

Either way, enjoy the new NAOMI titles at our spankin' new NAOMI GD-ROM Section.

Saturday again so you know what time it is =) Here are the new Nintendo DS titles from this week:

Another weekend is here and I have some more Nintendo DS updates for you:

Nothing really interesting coming out this past week apart from the release of the DSi. That handheld looks pretty sweet, any bets on how long it'll take to have backups running on it ? :P

Either way, I'm off to try out World of Goo on WiiWare. I've been looking forward to trying this game and have some high expectations. Hope I'm not disappointed!

--> Nintendo DS Roms

I decided to take some time out to add roms for some of the less prominent systems out there to our growing collection. Here's what's been added:

Atari Lynx (86 titles)
Nintendo Famicom Disk System (135 titles)
Nintendo Virtual Boy (28 titles)

The Atari Lynx has the distinction of being the first handheld system with a colour LCD display. There were a number of good titles released for this system so it's worth checking out for sure! The Famicom Disk System was a peripheral to the Nintendo Famicom in Japan and could use Floppy Disks for data storage. It has a bunch of Japanese titles available on it. Which brings me to the Nintendo Virtual Boy. Known as Nintendo's biggest failure the Virtual Boy tanked badly, 28 titles to check out in there :D

All this and more at our Roms Section.

Well, me not being able to fall asleep bodes well for you guys 'cause I took time out to make another Nintendo DS update. These titles just keep rolling in:

Nothing to write home about though. A Hanna Montana title, Touch Mechanic and that's about it. On another note I've added a bunch of new Sega Genesis and NES emulators which now show up on the game description pages for each title in their respective sections. Well, that's all for now, go get your Nintendo DS fill and keep coming back for more! Oh, and please pray that I manage to sleep tonight, got a big basketball game tomorrow :D

You've got a rhythm game, Suikoden, and a gardening mama title. Hmm.. something for everyone, no ?

-> Nintendo DS Roms

To celebrate the inaugural release of PCSX3 we've decided to crack open our hidden PS3 release forum. It's quite small right now with merely a dozen or so games to show (quite a feat considering games can top 20GB!!), but with some added traffic it's sure to grow :) It can be found by browsing our communities forums on the left, or by simply clicking here:
http://www.epforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=155

Enjoy!

Edit: April Fools is over, and well this was a little joke :P You might think this was a bit obvious, but we did get a bunch of you (I can see hit counters on file downloads). Plus if you just skipped it cause you were sure it was all a hoax, then you missed something real and good that I hid in there ^_^ Not to worry, I'll repost it tomorrow, or sometime, for those that didn't find it...
