The Gameboy Emulator for MSX (GEM) has a new release. The major highlight in GEM v1.2 is a complete rewrite of the video renderer, using native Gfx9000 sprites and tiles, as well as triple buffering for a faster and cleaner experience. The improvement in games using scrolling, sprite-behind-background and/or the alternate sprite palette is most eye-catching. Update: v1.21 fixes a rendering bug.
