Daedalus X64 v0.4 , PPSPP v1.10 , and Vita Fighters v0.96
Some small novelties have emerged in recent times on PlayStation Vita, as you know this is a scene that remains interesting for those who still have this console, but it is clear that it does not remain no less in the process of dying out at the expense of the Nintendo Switch, and it's a safe bet that Sony will not follow through on a mobile solution preferring to refocus on its home console.
The last of the 3 new features is the arrival of version v0.4 of Daedalus offered by Rinnegatamante, this is the first solution followed by a Nintendo 64 emulator on the PlayStation Vita.
There are just too many changes ...

- Pallet caching enabled for palletized textures.
- Addition of a hack for Pokemon Stadium 1 and Pokemon Stadium 2 which improves the rendering of the pokemons selection screen.
- Added support for several new blend modes (Fixed rendering issues in multiple games).

- Added detection of CIC DD64 types.
- Improved CIC type detection code.
- Addition of an alternative audio resampler based on libspeexdsp (disabled by default, currently in debug phase).
- Significantly improved stability of asynchronous audio code.
- Fixed a bug that would make the asynchronous audio code mute if the user closed one rom and launched another.

Finally the last novelty for the PlayStation Vita scene is the arrival of version 0.96 of Vita Fighters, no big news, since no new player is selectable, however there is Colossal Titan as Boss, AngryDevs, developer has announced that he wants to make it playable, but he still encounters quite a few bugs, so he disabled it as "playable". He will still try to offer it in a future version.
