Big 🧵time!

Lets talk about my new friend, the Konami Python.

It's kinda the odd duck of the family. The middle child between the Konami Viper and the Konami Python 2. The system was a short lived platform.

We appreciate we've not announced anything in quite some time, so we'd like to share our current development progress.
Our main focus has been getting EA's online services working so we can restore Xbox Live functionality in EA titles. Here's where things stand right now: (1/6)

I may have a problem (Why stop at just Bug!?)

Today we have released ares v146. This release is significant because it introduces emulation for the Pioneer LaserActive, which has never been emulated successfully in the past.

For absolutely no real reason whatsoever, I spent the weekend creating a patch for Bug! and Bug Too! to run on modern Windows

Bug!er Up fixes Windows 11 compatibility; adds support for XInput controllers, removes the CD-ROM requirement and allows custom soundtracks.

MegaLD support in ares has been brewing for a while; I built a skeleton that could run the bios a long while back; Nemesis then took over and fixed the rest, and did an excellent job too!

This will be upstreamed after we’ve ironed out some details; the dump format used is not final and may change.

And it's here! ares v142 has been released with support for SETA Aleck 64, and more great changes, get it from ares-emu.net
