I've nothing new to report. Right now I'm busy with other things than Makaron, though you will be seeing some AICA/ARM improvments with next release.

I got some WinCE games to boot but there's no picture. Since TA/PVR interrupts happen as they should I guess it has to do with the way I cache and pick drawing lists. Also, current MMU code will not work with recompiler - and that means you'll have to wait a few more months before any of these will be anywhere near playable. Not to mention the CPU power it takes to run Makaron with address translation on.
Oh, and there's still a bug somewhere which breaks certain DC Linux distributions. It's driving me nuts, seeing how NetBSD seems fully functional.

Well, right now it was pointed out to me that Sakura Wars doesn't seem to detect controller (Love Hina was pretty particular about that too). And I'm waiting for package with Sega Bass to arrive so that I can finally see fishing rod in person, how does it handle and all. Mouse-based emulation of light gun would be pretty neat thing too. And one of these days I really should pick up that modem/BBA emulation again.

So may things, so little time.

UPDATE: What is it with Japanese game makers, did SEGA pay them to support only original accessories? Well, here is a new PAD plugin. Make sure you've "SEGA compatible" selected in configuration window and it should work in Sakura Wars just fine.
