DLSS 5 Swapper 2.2.1 brings the app's own control panel into the game. Press F8 and the same panel you see in the app appears over the running game – the real HTML, fonts and sliders, not an imitation – wired to the DLSS Neural Rendering settings that are actually loaded.

Headline: the in-game overlay

F8 opens the panel in-game. Change the hotkey on the Overlay page; Ctrl / Alt / Shift combinations are supported. Home and Escape stay reserved for ReShade.
The game holds still while the panel is open. No mouse or keyboard input reaches the game, so the camera stays exactly where you left it and a slider can be judged on one fixed shot – the same behaviour as ReShade's own overlay.
Real controls, not a mock-up. The panel connects automatically to the pinned, hash-verified RenoDX v4.7 build and drives its original settings: Structure Intensity, Tone Intensity, the character mask, NR Style A/B/C, Diffuse White, motion scale and the rest. RenoDX saves them itself.
Install it with DLSS. One switch on the Overlay page. Off adds nothing to future installations and removes nothing already installed. Remove overlay only takes it back out without touching DLSS.
Updating is automatic. A new overlay build now retires the copy the previous one installed instead of refusing to install over it.
64-bit DX11 / DX12 games with ReShade add-on support. Not NVIDIA's official overlay or SDK.

MAMEUI 0.289 [4][powerzx], 2026-10-01 23:50:14

[Source: https://github.com/Robbbert/mameui]

MAMEUI has an inbuilt front-end allowing you to run a game from a list. It requires Windows 10 build 1607, 64-bit or later.

What's New:
After two long months, MAME 0.289 is ready, and it's an undeniably massive update! But before we talk about emulation, there are a few more mundane things to mention. Our Windows binary releases now include the SDL sound output and joystick input modules. The sdljoy joystick input module now supports game controllers with up to 128 buttons. The Win32 debugger module handles dynamic UI scaling changes. Finally, outputs have been overhauled, improving performance and fixing issues, but you may need to update your configuration if you've got external programs hooked up, and some artwork files may need updating.

You'll notice a number of systems and coprocessor cards based around NS32000 family CPUs are now working. If you aren't familiar with it, the NS32000 architecture was one of the first single-chip CPU families with a 32-bit ALU. It used a highly orthogonal instruction set with clear influences from Digital Equipment Corporation's earlier work. In retrospect, it didn't have enough registers, the instruction encoding was too complex, it took them too long to overtake Motorola's 68k family's performance, and bugs in the initial implementation hurt early adopters. But now you can relive its glory days in MAME, running contemporary 32-bit System V UNIX! David Rand, the mastermind behind these NS32000 emulation advances, has also turned his attention in other directions. He's brought the Xerox 820 and Big Board families up to working status, emulated Toshiba CP/M systems, and added the hard disk controller to the Kaypro 10, and more!

If you're a fan of Sega arcade games, you'll have lots to enjoy. For the ground breaking Model 1 platform, there are numerous fixes for graphical issues, better collision detection in Virtua Fighter, and the bad bits in the DSP program that were breaking Wing War have been identified and patched. Even NetMerc is in better shape. The very unconventional Flash Beats game is now playable. It has basic internal artwork, but someone sufficiently motivated could have it looking spectacular by creating suitable external artwork. There are also some fixes for games that use the SCSP sound chip.

MAME has emulated the EACA Colour Genie EG2000 for quite some time now, but this release adds support for the EACA Genie III, which was released in the same year. There are lots of fixes for issues with the widely-used PowerPC and 68k CPU families, which will benefit a wide range of emulated systems. In particular, more versions of classic MacOS are now running happily on MAME's emulated PowerMacs, and A/UX (Apple's early attempt at merging MacOS and UNIX) boots and runs. Numerous games using NES-like SoCs from V.R. Technology have been promoted to working, including several from Lexibook's Compact Cyber Arcade line. NEC's PC-6001 family have had numerous issues fixed, as well as receiving a substantial update to their software lists. The steady progress on emulating electronic musical instruments hasn't stopped, either.

There are several fixes on GPU side that made one of the exclusive PS4 titles “The Order 1886” going in game.
Some users even stated that managed to finish the game in shadPS4 but there are still a few issues to be sort out.
WinUAE 6.1.0 beta16 [8][powerzx], 2026-10-01 23:19:51

[Source: https://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=122632]

Beta 16:

- Non-CE non-immediate mode blitter speed was almost as fast as immediate (b13)
- Restored non-CE mode approximate blitter slowdown due to bitplane cycles. Was temporarily disabled and forgotten when 6.x started.
- (Useless) UHRES emulation works again and implemented previously unknown feature: UHRES can WRITE to Chip RAM! (ECS Agnus: BPLCON0 bits 5 and 4, AGA BPLHSTOP and SPRHSTOP bit 15 changes UHRES BPL/SPR dummy DMA reads to writes) Unfortunately written data can't be directly controlled, it is whatever was last written to chip bus.
- If program wrote to VPOS causing vpos to never match vsync lines or set impossible programmed vertical sync values, it was possible for UAE to appear like it was partially hung (keeps running, Windows won't report it as hung but for example F12 didn't work).
- On the fly screen mode changes didn't always unlock target graphics buffer/texture.
- Fixed D3D11 fullscreen -> F12 -> change to windowed or full-window: black screen.
- uaenet.device multicast fixes (unitzeroone)
- 68030 MMU fixes (slaapliedje)

Not-planned-but-ross-experimental-screenmode-test-accidentally-triggered-something-unexpected-so-of-course-it-had-to-be-examined-&-emulated:

- Paula DMAL serial line and Agnus internal shift register used to select Paula DMA channels are now more accurately emulated: VHPOSW modification side-effects (almost?) fully emulated. Side-effects are internal shift register getting out of sync with Paula DMAL line, causing wrong DMA channels to be selected (disk DMA slot may become audio slot or vice versa or same slot can get duplicated) or not selecting any DMA channel or causing conflicts. (Not all conditions have been tested yet)
- Paula DMAL disk RW bits directly follow DSKLEN WRITE bit state (R=0, W=1). Continuously, even when no disk DMA is active. Only makes a difference when doing above VHPOSW changes.
- Paula DMAL bits are included in DMA debugger (Pdx/PDx for disk RW and DMA request bits, Pax/PAx for audio pointer reload and audio DMA request bits)
- DMAL cycle allocation is now emulated cycle-accurately. Allocation signal is generated 1 CCK before DMA request is generated (and DMA transfer is finally done in following cycle), same as other DMA channels. VHPOSW modifications can cause DMA conflicts. Only emulated in 68000 CE mode.
- Discovered (accidentally as usual) new Copper feature/bug: previously discovered undocumented back to back even cycle dummy load from address zero has a hidden bonus undocumented feature: if Copper DMA is switched off exactly during second even cycle, copper will allocate next copper cycle but no DMA request is generated (Cycle allocation happens 1 CCK before DMA request generation). Result is dummy load from address zero followed by unused allocated cycle.
- If next scanline is 2 CCKs or more longer or shorter than previous line, activate lost sync state.

RPCS3 get perf boost on nvidia [27][powerzx], 2026-09-21 02:52:52

[Source: https://rpcs3.net/]

The RPCS3 developers have found a workaround for a long-standing NVIDIA driver issue, providing up to a 37% performance boost on some configurations. Sample tests have shown approximately a 20-25% FPS boost on specific GPU/CPU configurations. NVIDIA has acknowledged the issue and initiated contact with the RPCS3 team.
