It’s been a long time coming, but Mr Fwibbles has returned as part of a brand new group called “Adventurous Translations” to finally bring us the 100% complete version of his English translation patch for the Game Boy Color RPG, Grandia: Parallel Trippers! There are NO known errors. It wasn’t a simple project, either - more information and screenshots in the zip.

I am pleased to announce the public release of The Rat Race, a subtle hack of EarthBound which restores a great many censored elements from the original Mother 2 while altering and switching some of the major characters to make it a different story from the original.
The best way to describe this game, in my opinion, is as a kind of applied fan fiction; while literary EarthBound fan fiction abounds and several game hacks as well, I’ve not seen these concepts combined until now. Where EarthBound is a rather satirical look at modern life in the West (especially in the USA), The Rat Race is a similar story told from the point of view of those being satirized.
In any event, anyone who’s played EarthBound should find the settings and story of The Rat Race both familiar and strange much as the characters in the original Star Trek found their mirror universe to be in the “Mirror, Mirror” episode, albeit (I hope) not so much more evil. Enjoy!
(Now that I think of it, however, exploring an evil mirror universe of EarthBound might be a story worth pursuing. If anyone here has the interest and know-how to make that game, feel free.)

Fceux SVN r2249 is released. FCEUX is a cross platform, NTSC and PAL Famicom/NES emulator that is an evolution of the original FCE Ultra emulator. Over time FCE Ultra had separated into many separate branches. The concept behind FCEUX is to merge elements from FCE Ultra, FCEU rerecording, FCEUXD, FCEUXDSP, and FCEU-mm into a single branch of FCEU. As the X implies, it is an all-encompassing FCEU emulator that gives the best of all worlds for the general player, the ROM-hacking community, and the Tool-Assisted Speedrun Community.
Fceux SVN changelog:
r2249
* logging all display messages into Message Log
* Tasedit: special method of inserting frames
* Tasedit: progressbar updating when loading/saving large projects
* Tasedit: moved "Follow cursor" checkbox from View menu to main TASEdit window

Clothing retailer Urban Outfitters is, in partnership with Kiranbe Collectibles, selling a 1989 Donkey Kong Game & Watch. For £130.
Gunpei Yokoi's original gaming portable may be collectible, but with eBay prices ranging between £20 to £50 we just hope Urban Outfitters hasn't overstocked.

[Brian Knoll] still uses his Super Nintendo with relative frequency, and he just can’t get enough Super Scope action. If you never owned one, the Super Scope can be a ton of fun, but it’s also an incredible battery hog. It eats through AA batteries by the caseful, so [Brian] wanted to make the switch to rechargeable cells. Since NIMH AA batteries just don’t cut it in the Super Scope, he put together a rechargeable solution of his own.
He started off by calculating what sort of battery he would need for 8 hours of game play, then he started work on designing his circuit. The board he built contains both a DC/DC converter to provide the 9V required by the Super Scope, as well as built-in LiPo charger. He had his board made by BatchPCB, and after working through a small production error, he put everything together and gave his revamped scope a shot.
Things worked great, and while he says that he really should have built a low-voltage shutoff into his circuit, he is very happy with the results.

Glitch64 SVN r256 is released. GlideHQ is a realtime texture enhancer library with hi-resolution texture pack support for Glide64. Glitch64 is the recommended Glide3x wrapper for Glide64, the Glide video plugin for N64 emulators. It currently supports S3TC texture compression, anisotropic filtering, widescreen resolutions and simulates almost all the Glide3x hardware capabilities used by the plugin, included texture buffer capability (needed for render to texture). It is coded using the OpenGL API and uses GLSL shaders.
Traditional and non-traditional techniques have been used to achieve speed and high image quality even on a 9 year old 3Dfx Voodoo2. Although the 3Dfx Glide3x texture format naming conventions are used, the library can be expanded for generic use. The library supports 6 enhancers and 6 image filters. FXT1 and S3TC texture compression are supported.
Glitch64 SVN changelog:
r255
Fix line width calculation in line3d. Fixed issue 276: glover 2 intro error.
r256
Force alpha dithering for Castlevania. fixed Issue 264: Particle effect missing in Castlevania.

If you still haven’t read or even heard of the cult classic gaming magazine Super Play then hang your head in shame. Fortunately, you can redeem yourself by quickly reading up on the magazine’s history at Wikipedia, then the fantastic behind the scenes feature at Nintendo Life, then take a look at Richard Cobbett’s lookback at the classic mag, and check out all the previous online articles at Out-of-Print Archive. No, really, on you go. I’ll be waiting for you when you get back.
Right, so now you have background knowledge of the mag? Know all about the superb team, initially led by legend Future Publishing editor, Matt Bielby? Seen the fantastic artwork of Wil Overton? The classy neat design and layout by the art team? Read some fantastic reviews, articles and interviews? Good. Now we can move onto the equally superbly digitally restored issue 6 from April 1993.
So what can you expect to see in issue 6 of the finest SNES videogaming magazine that graced the Earth? Well, there is an interview with Joe Morici from Capcom USA, an import review of Alien vs Predator, a comics/manga special feature, a special preview of Star Fox (aka Star Wing, aka Lylat Wars), UK reviews of Super SWIV, Gods… Heck, what am I telling you all this for? You can head over to the Super Play issue 6 catalogue page at Out-of-Print Archive right now to get the full contents list, online articles and downloads, in either iDevice 1024 pixel or full 1920 pixel resolution.

Dolphin Git 3.0-186 is released. This is the trunk of Dolphin Project. Dolphin is the first Gamecube emulator able to run commercial games! Dolphin is a great Gamecube(NGC) and Wii emulator. It has a partial Wii support and plays most Gamecube games. Dolphin has been changed SVN to Git recently.
Dolphin Git changelog:
* Added TaruKonga (DK Bongos) support.
Separated SI Device IDs from the enums used for config/gui since quite a few device types all have the gc controller SI ID.
* Merge branch 'TaruKonga'
The DK Bongos are just a standard controller in disguise (ie, it uses your GCPad input mapping):
Clap Sensor = Analog R Trigger
start = start
Top of Left Bongo = Y Button
Bottom of Left Bongo = B Button
Top of Right Bongo = X Button
Bottom of Right Bongo = A Button

Nintendo subsidiary Hal Laboratory scrapped three different Kirby projects before finally getting it right with forthcoming Wii title Kirby's Adventure.
As revealed in a new Iwata Asks interview on the official Nintendo site, the three still-born projects were all planned GameCube titles.
The first, which was shown off briefly at E3 in 2005, bit the dust following problems getting a multiplayer mode up and running.
"It was a Kirby game based on the concept of four-person simultaneous gameplay," explained series producer Shigefumi Kawase.
"That was when I learned how difficult it is to make a game that is both multi-player and single-player."
The second unfinished title was "an experiment with extremely challenging gameplay that placed Kirby in 3D space and allowed players to freely move around," added Kawase.
"Unfortunately, we weren't able to achieve the quality we hoped for and it never reached completion."
Finally, a more straightforward 2D platformer also failed to make it to completion.
"The third one involved an animated Kirby sort of like a pop-up book. We renewed the Copy Abilities, and tried to power it up. We spent 11 years… making and abandoning these three games."
Check out a screenshot from each in the gallery below.
Kirby's Adventure, due out on Wii on 25th November, is HAL's first home console Kirby game to make it onto shelves since Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards in 2000.
"For 11 years, we wanted to deliver a Kirby game to the fans, and I'm terribly sorry that we couldn't," said Kawase.
"A lot of people at the company were frustrated as well, but this time we properly completed the game. HAL Laboratory will continue to challenge itself. I want to release many more Kirby games."

The Game Boy Advance of Final Fantasy V featued a terrible port of the music, with aggressive instruments. This hack was made to fix this problem by re-inserting back the original SNES soundtrack in the GBA game.
In this version 2.0, the Final Fantasy V Advance Sound Restoration hack has been completely remade from scratch in a new version, using the same technique used in the Final Fantasy VI advance patch, where the soundtrack was entirely re-sequenced.
The hack also changes a few sound effects, and features a fully orchestrated introduction !
As a plus, this hack also greatly reduces lagging problems that were introduced by reducing the CPU usage for mixing sound. Now all spells will play their animations at the original SNES rate.

Sure, we may have had our official Halloween costume contest on October's Engadget Show, but who are we to deprive you the reader of taking part in the spooky holiday fun? We've asked everyone to send in their geeky costumes and got some great responses, from the above playable Game Boy, to Barf fromSpaceballs, to the requisite Vulcan, to a handful of Steve Jobses.
