More ares and Play! compatibility updates

Here we go again, with another combo compatibility report. Latest ares version 133 had a ton of improvements in many platforms (read the details here https://ares-emu.net/news/ares-v133-released), so I had to poke at the Nintendo 64 emulation at least for some minutes (probably going to check on more this next month) and I was very happy with the results. For Play! I was able to also finish a bunch of games that were just fixed, and some that were just waiting on my list until now (e.g. the Yakuza series and Gantz: The Game).

ares

New verified GBA playable games:

• Puyo Pop (Europe)

• Puyo Pop Fever (Europe)

• Puyo Puyo Fever (Japan)

• TMNT - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Europe)

And since Nintendo 64 got some very nice timing improvements recently, I had the pleasure to finish something else:

• Star Fox 64 (Rev 1)

Play!

New verified playable games:

• 007: Quantum of Solace

• Gantz: The Game

• Disney's Peter Pan: The Legend of Never Land

• Yakuza

• Yakuza 2

• 7 Wonders of the Ancient World (PAL)

• LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures

• LEGO Batman: The Videogame

• Victorious Boxers: Ippo's Road to Glory

• Dynasty Tactics

So for the next month the plan is: more GBA and N64 games verified for ares and… only From Software games verified for Play! (got into this weird masochistic vibe recently while playing Dark Souls III and Remnant - From the Ashes, so why not?). See you all next month!
