# Hello folks. As you can see, I changed my nickname from Fx3 to Zepper. ^_^;; Well, there´s some major progress on
RockNES development. Sprite zero strikes were completely broken, plus PPU IRQs not being clocked during the DMC suspended CPU clock cycles. A lot of games work much better with no flickering scores. However, a few fixes are pending, so there´s no date for a release, but it´s very near.
