The first DS emu capable of playing demos just got updated:

(Info from Zophar's)

Dualis is the first publicly available Nintendo DS emulator that actually attempts to emulate the DS hardware. It can run a good number of the demos available quite well. Before you ask, no, it can't run commercial games, nor is it supposed to.

This is the second release, since Release 1 the following changes were made:

* GPU:
o Fixed transparency for bottom-most 16-color BGs
o Fixed tile flipping for 16-color BGs
o Fixed tile flipping for alpha-blended 256-color BGs
o Fixed alpha-blending for BGs with transparent pixels
o FPS limiter toggling now works
o Made the OpenGL texture format selectable
* GUI:
o Added keyboard shortcuts for Run, Pause and Reset
o The client area of the video output window should now be properly sized even for people with non-standard Windows themes

Also, GoodTools now has a homepage:

You have to register for access to the download section though.

Xebra: A new PlayStation Emulator?
The page is in Japanese--which I can't read--so I can't be 100% sure, but all the specs and technical info on that page seem to point to it being a new PSX emulator. And the author is Dr. Hell, who has already coded quite a few utilities and plug-ins in the past.

So, I'm 99.99% sure it's a new PSX emulator.

[polobunny]

Yeah Dr Hell did some so-so plugins, that were great back in the time but that are now getting old.
Looks promising, even though ePSXe is so popular.

I just downloaded it, and you are correct, it is a new PlayStation emulator! Ha Ha!!! A new toy to play with...be back in a bit with some more info. BTW, it's called XEBRA.

EDIT- Okay, it runs terribly slow. All I was able to do was manage to get it to run the scph1001 BIOS.

Another EDIT- I browsed the net on more info for Xebra, turns out this thing was created over 2 years ago, and apparently hasn't been worked on since. Meh, oh well. This "emulator" is old, but it's new to me since I never heard of it before.

I'm going to unsticky this, if it drifts off into obscurity, so be it, you can add to it if you wish

[Borman]

General: Compatibility has been increased since last release. More games go ingame now and 3d is okay in most of them. Vurecs improved and speeded up a lot (buggy in many causes so use the simple rec for compatibility) and IPU should work in some cases.(e.g VF4)
