Dolphin Git 3.0-221 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:
* Do not fail with strict drivers when compiling a not SM2.0 shader
To enforce SM2.0 compatibility, the OpenGL plugin was made to crash when compiling a shader which does not fit in the SM2.0a limits. However, on some combinations of OS/drivers/GPU, our shaders already do not fit in these limits, causing artificial failures only to try to keep a non existant SM2.0a compat.
Basically, this sucks.
This commit increases the artificial limit to SM3.0. If you're using a GPU which does not support SM3.0 and Dolphin works properly, this should not cause any problem at all.

GameBoy Online (2011/12/03) is released. GameBoy Online is a Game Boy and GameBoy Color emulator written in Javascript. It strives to be efficient and try to have a perfect compatibility. Currently the execution speed is not optimal even on browsers. For example on Chrome, which is nevertheless deemed to run Javascript faster on a PC running Windows 7 64-bit version with a double heart 2 CPUs at 2.2 GHz, games run at normal speed but almost skipping some frames.
The sound production is still experimental and rather poor quality. The video portion is by HTML5 or by creating images with BMP string URI. State backups are implemented using the object window.localStorage and are serialized / deserialized JSON. Ditto for backup SRAM.

via http://dsx86.patrickaalto.com/DSblog.html
The only big improvement regarding DS2x86 I have achievent since the last blog post, is that I have managed to get the AdLib audio emulation working. The AdLib audio emulation now runs fully on the ARM7 processor also in DS2x86, using the exact same code as in the original DSx86. Only the data transfer system is different (and it is actually still just a quick hack, until I get the whole MIPS-to-NDS transfer system redone). The primary goal for this enhancement was to make sure that the ARM7 audio system does run normally and that it is possible to handle the AdLib emulation on it.
I am currently working on the transfer system restructuring. I began by removing code that seemed non-essential, checking that the system still works, then removing some more code, and so on. It is nice to see how the plugin size gets smaller and smaller, with no change in the behaviour. There is actually A LOT of unneeded code and handshaking for the card interface. I'm not sure if much of it is there simply as a leftover from the early experimenting by SuperCard, or if there are some situations where all of that is needed. Almost none of it seems to be needed in DS2x86, though.
I have a long weekend to work on DS2x86, as next Tuesday is the Independence Day of Finland, and I also took the Monday off from work. I hope to be able to finish the new simplified transfer system during this time, so that I can then continue adding all the required functionality to take advantage of the new transfer system. It still looks like the new transfer system will be MUCH better than the original used by the DSTwo SDK. The only frustrating thing with the new system is the fact that I have spent a year fighting with the original SDK! During all that time the possibility to properly use the available hardware features existed, but SuperCard just did not make that available! Well, better late than never, I suppose.

OpenBOR is a continuation of the Beats Of Rage 2D game engine, which was originally
created by the wonderful folks over at http://www.senileteam.com.
This release is for the Dreamcast, PSP, Wii, Wiz, GP2x and Dingoo:
Heres whats new;
r3619 | utunnels | 2011-12-03 07:12:24 -0500 (Sat, 03 Dec 2011) | 3 lines
Changed paths:
M /engine/openbor.c
Re-adjust enemy attack chance after playing some mods. When there are too many enemies on screen, their chance to attack is also lowered. Because the new ai patterns tend to swamp on the player, difficulty increases too much when there are more than 5 enemies.
Reduce the chance for the default grab. Previous logic will prevent the entity with a greater index from grabbing another with a smaller index when they are both walking.

In terms of new releases, the home consoles have started their winter hibernation - but there's still a war to be fought in your hand this week. Two massive format exclusives step up to make their host platforms' case for taking a spot under your Christmas tree.
I'm sure Apple is a long way from regarding Infinity Blade 2 as a killer app - it began life as a way to sell middleware, not hardware, after all. But there's no doubt that Chair's fantasy action game is a standard-bearer for gaming on iOS and the processing power of iPad 2 and iPhone 4/4S. It's pretty persuasive, too.
"On the newest devices that are packing A5 chips especially, the game shines with gorgeous lighting that spills through stained glass windows and washes over open courtyards. Sharper textures add even more detail to a world rich in tiny charms and architectural flair," Mark wrote in our Infinity Blade 2 review.
"For all that's new and improved, Infinity Blade 2 is still a game about high stakes combat and bloody perseverance. Still a game about fast and smart fight scenes bolstered by a personalised assortment of weapons and shiny hats."
It's a good game, but it's also the App Store's first big-budget, bells-and-whistles annual mega-sequel. It's hard to dispel a sense of déj* vu - and for all its charms, our game of the week isn't helping.
Mario Kart 7
This time last year, more or less, it was Sony slipping in under the wire before we closed the books on 2010 to prop up the fortunes of one of its formats with a the rushed release of a racing game. What a difference 12 months makes.
Sony's not out of hot water yet - frankly, in these deeply uncertain times for gaming, no-one is. But now Nintendo's run out of smug side-steps and has been pitched in with the rest.
But this is Nintendo, with its legendary quality control - and if it hadn't confessed that Mario Kart 7 was rushed to market as an emergency measure to save the 3DS, you'd never have known. Where Gran Turismo 5 stuttered and coughed into life with a day-one patch and a hobbled online mode, turn Mario Kart 7's ignition and you get a smooth purr. It's even got Nintendo's best stab at proper online integration to date
Mario Kart 7 easily has the potential to match GT5's sales, and could be just as crucial to the future of its format, if not more. It's also a racing game every bit as encumbered by tradition and expectation, with just as singular a focus (albeit a less monomaniacal and exhaustively ambitious leading light - Shigeru Miyamoto didn't even fancy adding customisation to it).
"Mario Kart is a classic formula, so often aped and never bettered," Simon Parkin wrote in our Mario Kart 7 review. "It's the inscrutable concoction of genius.
"Nintendo knows that to mess with the recipe is to risk losing the magic, a lesson learned in Double Dash's shift of focus away from taut racing to whimsy. So while the gliding and new power-ups may seem like bold moves, in practical terms they are conservative additions, precision-slotted into a cast-iron framework."
It's not the most exciting of Nintendo's trio of big releases this season, but perhaps it is the most significant. While Zelda: Skyward Sword makes a belated case for motion control in a traditional gaming framework and Super Mario 3D Land explores the possibilities of 3D display with EAD's trademark invention and wit, Mario Kart 7 is getting on with the dirty business of giving players what they want, when they want it, and with all the features that they expect in this day and age. It's an XP bar short of being a textbook 2011 franchise update (and with the coins-for-parts upgrade system, it's very nearly there).
In short, it's Nintendo behaving like every other publisher in mainstream gaming. That comes as a huge relief. Is it also a little bit sad? Maybe, but we can't have it both ways - and neither can Nintendo any more.

Update: Tesco has responded to Eurogamer by confirming its pricing for Mario Kart 7 as £29.90 until Sunday - making it, for now at least, the cheapest place to buy the game in UK shops. From Monday, it will be £32.70.Original story:Asda has the cheapest in-store price for 3DS racer Mario Kart 7, which roars into UK shops today. The supermarket has a price of £29.97 - a fraction less than the Morrisons price of £29.99.The cheapest place online is Zavvi, where the game costs £26.96 when you use the code "MARIO10".Should that offer stop working, TheGameCollection is next cheapest at £28.99.Sainsbury's will sell you Mario Kart 7 for the low price of £21.99, providing you buy another top 20 3DS title at the same time (except another copy of Mario Kart 7 - we've checked).Those looking for an extra stocking filler may like The Hut's offer of Mario Kart 7 plus Mario-themed in-ear headphones for £32.95.We're still trying to find out Tesco's price - all the stores we spoke to this morning had yet to receive copies, or pricing information.Found a good deal? Let us know in the comments below - we'll keep this article updated with the latest prices throughout the day.Eurogamer's Mario Kart 7 3DS review awarded a handsome 8/10. "Conservative: yes. Enduring: absolutely," declared reviewer Simon Parkin.Bricks and mortar shops - Asda - £29.97
- Morrisons - £29.99
- Tesco - £32.70 (£29.90 until shops shut Sunday)
- Argos - £34.99
- Sainsbury's - £34.99

 Holy fu-nky chicken, Ubisoft announced this morning that Just Dance 3 sold 700,000 copies on the Wii and Xbox 360 over six days, between November 20 and 26 of the Black Friday shopathon. The company also stated that Just Dance 3 sales are up 48 percent from those of Just Dance 2, which launched in mid-October of 2010, when compared "year over year to date in the US."
Ubisoft also claimed it has 76 percent market share among dance games in 2011. That statistic could be a little messy, since unlike Zumba Fitness andDance Central, which has one sequel, the Just Dance franchise follows Activision's Guitar Hero model of suffocating saturation.
The Just Dance franchise currently includes: Just Dance 3, Just Dance 2, Just Dance, Just Dance Summer Party, Just Dance Kids 2, Just Dance Kids, Michael Jackson: The Experience, The Black Eyed Peas Experience and ABBA You Can Dance. All these titles combined sold over one million copies in the US during Black Friday week. The NPD previously stated that dance game sales are up 326 percent over last year.
