It's been a while since we've picked up word from uberjack's SMS Plus PSP application, which is why we're happy to report that the coder's recently released a new update. In case you're wondering what SMS Plus is, it's a PSP-based emulator designed to play games from the Sega Master System and Game Gear consoles. It's based on Charles MacDonald's SMS Plus emulator. Getting back to our topic, here are v1.2.4's tweaks:

• Various bug fixes
• Added animations to the menu UI
• Fixed buffer overflow error affecting units without a battery
  

Installation and usage instructions for SMS PLus PSP v1.2.4 are available in the readme included with the file bundle. While you're here, make sure to visit uberjack's other emulator works, such as the PSP ports of fMSX and Atari8000. Enjoy the download.

Homebrew developer Brunni has just released a new build for the highly flexible emulator MasterBoy bringing it up to version 2.02. For the uninformed, this particular application is able to emulate Game Boy, Sega Master and Game Gear video games on the PlayStation Portable.

One of the many good features MasterBoy carries is that it allows users to fully recolor not only by selecting one scheme for the whole screen but every single in-game object. VGM and GYM files can also be listened to because of the bundled music player. The changes particular to MasterBoy v2.02 are the following:

• 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). In between, if you have this problem, use the RAM state and save manually before exiting (or save less often)

Brunni included a Readme.txt file as well as MasterBoy.pdf file that should provide you with all the information you need in installing and running this program.

We'd like to thank Matt T. for the tip!

PSP homebrew developer Brunni has just announced the release of the MasterBoy application as an entry to the ongoing Neo Summer Coding Competition (2007).

This app is a PSP-based emulator capable of playing games from the Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Super Game Boy, Sega Master System (SMS), and Game Gear.

MasterBoy is based on Brunni's MMSPlus SMS Emulator, which was a winning entry in last year's Neo Summer Coding Competition. MasterBoy carries several new features and functions:

• Rich interface with discrete effects, redefinable shortcuts and buttons (with autofire feature). Also it's fully skinnable.
• Manage and sort your favorites folders and files to access them easily.
• Integrated music player supporting GYM and VGM formats.
• Several display options like Gamma and Color Vibrance, which allows you to choose how colored you want your display to be.
• Z80 under/overclocker: allow you to correct games that are often slowing down or displaying glitchy / blinking sprites.
• Some improvements over MMSPlus in the SMS/GG part:
• Speed up.
• Now 16-bit render mode is enabled by default. You can revert to 8-bit if you want, and it will run even faster.
• Compatibility issues
• Better country detection (now nearly all games should detect the country correctly and not play too fast anymore).
• The bar at the left of the screen can be automatically hidden (depending whether the game is actually using it or not)

That's the basic rundown on Brunni's MasterBoy emulator. To better understand this application's full details, be sure to view the readme and PDF that are included in the file bundle. Enjoy the download.

Update: Brunni has updated MasterBoy to v2.0a. Unfortunately, we haven't found any documentation on what's new in this release, save for the new v2.0a text that appears on the app's GUI when run in the PSP. We're assuming it's to fix several detected bugs. The download is available if you're interested in upgrading.
