* Finished the english documentation on how to colorize your games!
* This version fixes a bug with sound volume when loading RIN states.
* The file list can now display up to 1024 roms.
* Added a small debug mode for the kernel version (copy the EBOOT from the Kernel mode directory to your MasterBoy directory on the PSP - this version runs significantly slower, so use it only for debugging and colorization). For people who reported ... More »
Just recently a petition was started for Sega to include On-line play in the PS3 version of Virtua Fighter 5. Not only has it been stated my Sega employees that it can be done, it has been done with other games such as Motorstorm Japan and Tekken: Dark Resurrection please sign the petition and let it be known that you find it unfair that Xbox 360 owners are being treated better in terms of the feature being standard for their game.
Brunni has updated MasterBoy for PSP, which is an all-in-one emulator that supports a variety of handhelds including the Game Boy, Sega Master System and Game Gear.
- EBOOT now has icon, wallpaper and sound (thanks to Ass-Itch from playeradvance for his nice BG/ICON)
- Corrected the bug of SRAM not saving properly for some people
- Added the last save date next to the save state slot number
- Enhanced SGB emulation (runs a lot faster)
- Corrected the garbage showing in the border of the render.
- Reworked the default palettes to be closer to the GBC ones.
- Augmented the maximum number of files per folder to 1024.
Note: The bug that some people has, save states not working after saving/loading a few, is still not fixed (I could contact nobody who has this problem for debugging)... More »
Sony unveiled a partial list of playable games to be shown at the Tokyo Game Show later this month including at least five unannounced games.
Houston, we've got playable games. The Sony booth is also said to feature gameplay videos of more than 50 different PS3 games in addition to a testing area for the console's latest firmware update.
The incomplete list of playable games are as follows:
Monolith Productions is a developer in a prime position to shed some light on the situation, having achieved critical and retail success with their launch title Condemned: Criminal Origins, and working on their follow-up with the upcoming sequel, Condemned 2: Bloodshot. "There is a certain satisfaction in taking on major challenges and overcoming them -- and this was definitely a major challenge. Sega also wanted us to hit the launch date... [and] gave us great testing and localization support to help make sure that we did hit our dates," says producer David Hasle, who later adds, "We knew that being present at launch would provide us more time to get more game titles developed internally at Monolith Productions for the 360 over the course of the lifespan of the 360 so this was seen as a good business decision. Plus being one of six or seven games is better than being one of 50 or 60 games on the shelf at your local game store."
The making of Condemned 2 is not just about ... More »
Sega has sent out a new release schedule with a little bit of bad news that those looking forward to the upcoming release of The Club will have to wait until next year.
Tagged to the foot of Sega's most recent release schedule is: "Please note that The Club from Bizarre Creations is now to release on X360, PS3 and PC in early 2008."
We can't help but wonder if finishing up work on PGR4 for Microsoft may have demanded a little more attention than was originally though...
You can take a look at our most recent preview of The Club here
It's only just over two weeks to go now before Sega Rally wheelspins into your local games emporium, and Sega has decided to let the lid off four new cars that feature in the game - the Mitsubishi Concept-X, HUMMER H3 SUV (Customized), the McRae Enduro and the RUF Rt 12.
You can view the vehicles in the screenshots we've uploaded, and Sega has also provided the following information on each motor...
Mitsubishi Concept-X
With a nose end inspired by a jet fighter this is the concept vehicle for the next-generation of the Lancer Evolution Series, this fantastic car makes its video game debut in SEGA Rally. The production version of the Concept-X will have a 2.0 liter turbo-charged engine, a twin-clutch transmission, a further-developed all-wheel-drive system and a lightweight all-aluminum bodywork.
The words Lancer Evolution have become synon... More »
Sega's light gun tradition continues on Wii. First impressions inside.
Since the first rumblings of Ghost Squad's Wii release, the IGN Wii team has been pretty optimistic for the shooter's reincarnation on Nintendo's newest system. True; Wii doesn't do exact light gun conversion (at least not yet), but at least the IR adaptation has made it possible for games like Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles, as well as Duck Hunt clones in Wii Play and the possibility of House of the Dead or Virtua Cop's revival down the road - should SEGA will it. As the first light gun outing for the Japan-based company, SEGA is pushing the spiritual successor of both Virtua Cop and Confidential Mission (another arcade game that had a brief stint on Dreamcast), as Ghost Squad is now heading to Wii.
Ghost Squad is, in nearly every respect, the next Virtua Cop incarnation. The title has changed, and the game is now more robust, but everything from disarming shots to headshots and a prec... More »
Out go pole-dancing hookers and in come the look-but-don't-touch Geisha - for the third instalment of Sega's gangland scrapper, Yakuza, the action is shifting to the 17th Century. Set in 1605, Yakuza 3 will take place in Edo. (Learn Something New Every Day department: That's what Tokyo was once called).
Immediately, from the first shots, Yakuza takes a clear break from its Oldboy-influenced action and concrete locales. At first, we mistook it for another Kengo, or a new Way of the Samurai episode. But it certainly looks stunning, and we're not complaining if we can whip a katana around.
Accordingly, there's a change in gameplay too. The Heat moves from the last two, modern-day games are axed in favour of sword lunging one-hit-kills. You'll have four fighting styles, from bare fists to the choice of wielding one sword, two swords or a broadsword.
