A major update of Emulicious got released!

It comes with lots of improvements:

Finally, you can now play your favorite games using a USB game pad connected to your PC
The setup input dialog has been restructured
BIOS emulation for the SEGA Game Gear has been added
An option to skip all breakpoints has been added
Previously, screenshots taken from a Game Gear game had contained the offscreen area. This has been fixed.
Fixed a bug with expressions that could lead to misbehavior of the emulated system
The Memory Editor now shows the value of the selected byte in multiple formats
The Reference Hierarchy has been improved
The Outline has been improved
Several improvements of the disassembler
The emulation accuracy of the Light Phaser has been improved

Great!

I really enjoy using Emulicious so thanks for your continued effort.

Awesome support !!!!

Thanks a lot !!!!! Best emulator/debugger ;)

Congratulations, and.....finally support for controllers yeah!!!, I remember asking for this, such a fantastic emulator!!!
Btw does the gameboy have offscreen area as the game gear's??. I've read the Neogeo Pocket has but none of the emulators show that area.

Game Boy has an internal tilemap of 32x32 tiles I believe though I don't know if it would count as "off-screen" area in the same sense as Game Gear as I think it is meant to have room to load upcoming map data before it is displayed, as the other Ni****do consoles have done.
I forget that it actually has two tilemaps as the other is known as a "window" because I guess it was a designated HUD layer?

That's interesting, maybe that looks like garbage on screen, the GBA has actuallly that offscreen area that can be appreciated by running GBA games on the NDS (slot for NDS games) by using a flashcart as you mentioned.

Most 8-bit systems have a relatively small "offscreen area" in order to allow smooth scrolling. 16 bit or later usually had a bit more because it can offer more flexibility for the game engine, at the cost of extra RAM. However the game could still choose to draw only what it needs making the visibility of that area much less useful. It is still useful to see it when developing though.
