Needless to say, we have been continuing our hard work since then to further improve the emulator, adding new features and fixing more bugs. As I'm sure many of you have been following the SVN revisions and have noticed the changes we have made in this time and many of you even assisted in finding problems for us to fix, so a big thank you to all those who helped out!
