News

March 29, 2024
Nestopia UE 1.52.1 is released. This is not the most exciting release, but there are a few new mappers supported, and there are a few little fixes for the FLTK port. Included this time around in the win32 release is the huge collection of palettes that have been in the source code repository for years, but never distributed with the release. As far as core emulation is concerned, there are yet again some improvements to accuracy. This is also the first win32 binary release done on github rather than sourceforge.
