Patent Pending was created when the emulation in general wasn't doing too well. Our goal is to provide the best and largest archive of emulation related and other video game related material. So far we are achieving this goal. This site does not use frames, and was written completely by hand so all modern browsers at all resolutions can view it decently. Please contact us with any comments or problems you find with this site. We hope your visit is worthwhile and hope you decide to return!

nEMU is back! (again) - Though it was a long while coming, nEMU is back! They have a new (and even better) layout, and it looks like it's here to stay! The last time nEMU went down, it was because nIRV apparently got disgusted with emulation and that was when he posted that infamous report on Snes9X.

VGB 1.3 advance info - I have just received a mail from Marat Fayzullin about the upcoming VGB 1.3. Included are two screenshots from the Color Gameboy! "Attached are some Color GameBoy screenshots from the upcoming version of Virtual GameBoy. The game shown is a Japanese DragonQuest Monsters. Although the screenshots show both CGB colors and SGB screen border, the actual game obviously uses only one of those (there is no SuperCGB :)). Virtual GameBoy emulates both though, so the game shows up with both CGB and SGB features." Marat Fayzullin Screenshot #1 | Screenshot #2

	Parodius update - Parodius's page has finally been updated. It seems that Y0SHi is having tons of problems with his ISPs. First, SkipNet was bought out by Teleport. Simply put, their service was shit, and he canceled. He then went back to DNC, the ISP he had 2 years ago. They ended up being even worse. So now, Parodius is on Dreamscape and who knows what will happen next. There was way too much stuff to post here, but I urge you to read it for yourself.
	Psyke article in PSX Magazine - If any of you have stores near you that sell Playstation Magazine, or if you have a subscription, check out the October issue. There's an article in there that talks about PSyKe. Instead of degrading the emulator, they seem very positive about it. Anyone who has a scanner and the magazine and would like to scan the article and send it to ZD for posting, it would be appreciated. Thanks to FatalDoom for the mail.

	Sites' moves - Dave's Video Game Classics is now up and running smoothly on a T3 in New York. Some links may not work because of this. If your DNS hasn't updated yet, the IP is 207.155.180.55. Also, Zophar's Domain has it's domain name (zophar.net) functioning again, so zophar.malicia.com is no longer functional. It's IP is 209.54.66.247.
	Raine update - Richard Bush has revealed that sound will be working in Ninja Warriors, Liquid Kids, Mega Blast, Taito Tetris, Space Invaders DX, Ninja Kids, Growl, Crime City, Superman Drift Out and more. No release date has been announced as of yet.
	Gameboy Lite development info - A new gameboy emulator called Gameboy Lite is under construction. Its being coded by Don Jarrett and Daniel Maresca Jr. Although there's no webpage or screen shots yet, we do have some information for you. The z80 emulation is 100% done, and the tile palette is 50% done. A tile editor is also in the making. We'll post more info when we get it.
