‘A monster’ at Sony was born after Nintendo’s Yamauchi severed ties
Phil Harrison, the former head of Sony Worldwide Studios, has given his account of the falling out between Sony and Nintendo during the SNES-CD negotiations.
Before PlayStation went on to revolutionise the world of electronic entertainment, Sony had tied itself to a deal with Nintendo to jointly work on a CD-ROM add-on for the SNES.
At the time, Harrison joined what was then called Sony Electronic Publishing, and the firm had just started releasing cartridges for the SNES and Sega Mega Drive.
But in a dramatic turnaround that spun two electronic empires into opposition, Nintendo’s ex-president Hiroshi Yamauchi announced at CES – to the surprise of Sony as well as onlookers – that the firm would be partnering with Phillips for its SNES-CD platform.
“[Sony and Nintendo] fell out over the way the royalties were divided up,” Harrison told Develop.
“That was very embarrassing to Sony and it’s not how you do business with companies of that size and stature.
“What it ended up doing was creating a bit of a monster in terms of the passion and drive within Sony, particularly Ken Kutaragi, to prove everyone wrong.”
A year later, Sony asked Harrison to join a new top-secret team known as Project One…

Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata reckons that often-overlooked N64 Zelda quest, Majora's Mask, was a "turning point" for Nintendo, and an early glimpse at games of the future.
Speaking in Nintendo's latest Iwata Asks inteview,Zelda top man Eiji Aonuma explains that the game's compact world was the result of a harsh one-year development cycle plan.
"The 'Three-Day System', the idea of a compact world to be played over and over again, came down from Miyamoto-san and one other director, (Yoshiaki) Koizumi-san," explained Aonuma. "We added that to the mix, and then, finally, we saw the full substance of a The Legend of Zelda game we could make in one year."
Iwata went on to add: "Actually, I feel as though, back then, we were given a glimpse of the concept that 'Deep, compact play is one form of the games of the future'. I think in that sense, as a product, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask was a big turning point for Nintendo."
We too, want to see the series' darkest game mentioned more in Best Game Ever lists. Just buy it on Virtual Console to see why.

News via http://emu-russia.net/en/
NES/Sega Master System/Arcade emulator for Windows has been updated. Changes:
[EMU] Added accurate Sega Genesis / Megadrive emulation. It should be the most accurate Genesis emulator available as it is nearly completely cycle accurate. Features include crisp stereo sound emulation, gameplay rewind, Sega Virtua Processor (SVP used in Virtua Racing), EEPROM, SRAM, accurate interlace emulation (Sonic 2 - 2 player mode). Takes advantage of 64bit (x64) CPUs. More details here :- http://www.retrocopy.com/sega-genesis.aspx
-[EMU] Added cycle accurate stereo sound to gamegear. Used by Outrun, Aleste, Galaga, Woody Pop, Xmen etc
-[GUI] Mouse cursor now disappears after 3 seconds of inactivity so it's not obscuring gameplay
-[CORE] Added option that lets RetroCopy manage how CPU cores are used. Useful for some AMD systems running on Windows XP if they have timing problems
-[CORE] Fixed memory leak in game loading
-[SOUND] Changed the ingame "fullscreen" to Stereo sound. The 3D world still uses mono as the TV's don't have two separate virtual speakers for the sound to come from yet.
-[SOUND] Fixed bug which could cause glitches in the sound on some systems

Pocket Commander was inspired by the groundbreaking game 'Modem Wars' by Dan Bunten (1988). This was one of my all-time favorites! I wanted to pay my respects to Dan for his much-overlooked masterpiece. Long before the internet craze and real-time strategy(RTS) games like Command and Conquer, Dan created the first multiplayer (Modem to modem) real-time strategy game. This game is my attempt to recapture those 20 year old memories in a single player game for the GameBoy Advance.

This is my second GameBoy Advance game done in a little over 50 hours of development. Pocket Raider was inspired by one of my favorite 8bit era video games Will Wright's 'Raid on Bungling Bay' (1984). This game has 9+ levels, each 88+ screens in size. You fly an Airship whose mission is to bomb all enemy Gun Turrets, Speed Boats, Tanks and Buildings to complete each mission progressing through the enemies backbone of bases, factories and finally their command center.

Quote:
12/19/2009
nemulator 2.0 beta 2
* Joystick support (non-analog joysticks only, see nemulator.ini)
* Menus: On the game selection screen, use A to select a game, B to bring up the menu. In-game, press start+select to bring up the menu.
* Fullscreen mode configurable via nemulator.ini
* Configurable reset and menu delay behavior (thanks to Alexander Rojas for the suggestions!)
* Fixed bug that caused crashes when quitting while in fullscreen mode
7/7/2009
nemulator 2.0 beta 1
nemulator 2.0 development started in 2008 simply in order to switch from DirectDraw to Direct3D (both to fix compatability issues with Vista and as a learning experience). Along the way, it morphed into what you see today. The GUI is the primary feature of nemulator 2.0, but there are a ton of changes under the hood including improved mapper support, an improved sound engine, and many bug fixes.
2003-2008
nemulator 1.0
nemulator development started in 2003 and was worked on, sporadically, through 2008.

On Christmas day six years ago, one boy had a legitimate dream: To recreate the soundtrack for The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time, making it sound like it was recorded by live musicians. Three-fifths of a decade passed, and the boy became a man. More importantly, the Zelda Reorchestrated project produced its first succulent fruits: A 22-track compilation of Ocarina's tunes, as performed by a virtual philharmonic.
You can stream some of the tracks off the Zelda Reorchestrated site, or download the entire shebang for free. Or, you can just wait for the group to recreate the timeless music of Wand of Gamelon, which should be just around the corner.

Christmas 2009 may have come and gone, but you've still got two days two days to order the perfect gift for the retro gamer in your life - RetroZone's 8 Bit Xmas 2009.
8 Bit Xmas 2 is a new NES cartridge from RetroZone crafted specifically for the holiday season. Built using completely new parts, the cartridge is festooned with blinking lights that should brighten up any original NES you slide it inside of. The cart is loaded with Snowball Fight!!!, an original game in which up to four players fire multi-colored snowballs at each other from the sides of the screen.
While the unique cartridge makes it well worth the $43 price tag, an additional $5 scores you a personalized splash screen message for the game, with a matching Christmas card.
Its late, but retro gamers have a distorted sense of time and space anyway, so it should still be fresh. Just be sure to order before December 31st, or you won't be able to order at all.
