Cheers, Neil
 
Great - really hope this injects some interest into updating some of those emulators - amiga, psx, c64 and of course DosBOX.

I do have one suggestion, couldn't the prizes for catagory 1 be changed to include "Games AND Applications". That way there might be some interest in people porting/creating a better media player, a web browser or some other amazing thing I havent thought of.


Good luck to all who enter, if you want a beta tester for anything PM me, I will be happy to help out in any way I can.
