File Size: 1.3 MB

YPOPs! (formerly YahooPOPs!) is an open-source initiative to provide free POP3 access to your Yahoo! Mail account.

Latest Changes:

! Fixed the login process due to changes Yahoo has made (fixes MD5 login).

! Fixed delete processing to one at a time for robust error handling.

! Fixed core dumps and valgrind warnings.

+ Don't log cookie stuff unless log level is LOG_COOKIE (3) - only possible via regedit at this point.

# Updated logo in help file.

# Upgraded third party libraries to newer versions:

- curl 7.13.2 (from 7.13.0)

! Fixed the login process due to changes Yahoo has made (fixes cannot find form error).

! Fixed for new yahoo changes that prevented ypops from extracting the crumb and finding messages.

! Fixed text only secure mode login. Everyone should switch to https (preferred) or md5!

Depending on the settings the files' names, sizes, dates and/or CRC32-checksums (which represent the content of the files) are compared with each other.

MAME 0.100b

File Size: 7.9 MB

OS Support: Windows (All)

MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. When used in conjunction with an arcade game's data files (ROMs), MAME will more or less faithfully reproduce that game on a PC. MAME can currently emulate over 2600 unique (and over 4600 in total) classic arcade video games from the three decades of video games - '70s, '80s and '90s, and some from the current millennium. MAME's purpose is to preserve these decades of video-game history. As gaming technology continues to rush forward, MAME prevents these important "vintage" games from being lost and forgotten.

Latest Changes:

Fixed crash in some games when using a low sample rate or -nosound.

[Aaron Giles]

Fixes crashes in the following drivers: [Aaron Giles]

* Beat Head (video update)

* Hit Me (graphics decode)

* Imago (palette setup)

* Legend of Kage bootlegs (accessing invalid CPU)

* Rock Climber

* Speed Attack (palette out of range)

TumblePop driver updates: [David Haywood]

* split driver into tumblep.c and tumbleb.c

* tumblep.c runs the original tumble pop sets and use now using

deco16ic.c for the gfx.

* tumbleb.c runs the bootlegs and games which use hardware which works

in a similar way to tumble pop (semicom titles etc.)

Kludged around glitches in Monster World. [David Haywood]

Cross Pang is now using the sprite draw copied from tumbleb.c instead as

the game also seems to be based around Tumble Pop designs, as a result the

'Alpha Blend' bit has been removed and replaced with a flicker sprite bit

like Tumble Pop which looks more correct to me. Also changed some default

settings. [David Haywood]

Corrected Indian Battle DIP switches. [shimaPong]

Updated D-Day DIP switches to use conditionals. [James Wallace]

More Namco sound/MCU updates: [R. Belmont]

* Fixed analog controls for Ridge Racer and Rage Racer

* Fixed sound/music to play in System 22 games

* Fully share the sound part of the MCU RAM for System 11. This allows

games to read back the song names and fixes the sound test menu in

Tekken and Tekken 2.

New clones added

Microsoft Windows Memory Diagnostic

A free memory diagnostic program from Microsoft.

It can create a bootable floppy disk, or a bootable CD using an .iso.

This FREE tool clears out your current data sets in RAM. Basically it reclaims your used RAM Clearmem (clearmem.exe) Forces pages out of physical memory and reduces the size of running processes’ working sets to a minimum. When you run this tool, the system pauses because of excessive high-priority activity associated with trimming the working sets. To run this tool, your paging file must be at least as large as physical memory. Put clearmem.exe in your c :windows/system32 directory, then go to Start -> run and type clearmem

usage: clearmem [-q] [-d] [-mx] [-px] [-w] [-tx]

-? : This message

-q : Quiet mode - Nothing printed.

-d : Debug break on Entry into and Exit from app.

-m : Number of megabytes to allocate.

: (default is to use all physical memory.)

-p : Number of pages to read (must be less than 63).

-w : Write to the virtual memory section.

-b : Read and Write the virtual memory section.

-t : Times to touch a page.

**DEFAULT: clearmem -p63 -t1
