It’s the end of another month, and time for your scheduled MAME
release, with more of everything we know you love. In a last-minute
update, we slipped in a major performance optimisation for bgfx
video output. It’s particularly noticeable when using cropped
artwork, and there’s no longer a big performance penalty for bringing
up the menu over the emulation on macOS. Another core improvement
is support for TAP/TUN networking on Windows, providing a big
performance improvement when connecting an emulated system to a
network on the host machine.
From the department of things considered lost to time, MAME 0.201
allows you to play as Chuby the octopus, in the incredibly elusive
Spanish game Night Mare. Unfortunately the sound ROMs were missing,
so you won’t be able to hear Chuby speak, and we still need to be
on the lookout for the export version known as Clean Octopus. And
speaking of rare games from Spain, two more Magnet System titles
have been dumped: A Day in Space and The Burning Cavern.
Newly dumped versions of supported arcade games include prototypes
of Halley’s Comet (Taito) and Dog Fight (Orca), a newer version of
the original Master Boy (Gaelco), and the Korean release of Raiden
II (Seibu Kaihatsu). A redumped ROM allowed Psychic Force EX to
run correctly. The vgmplay logged music player has had a big update
in this release, with support for several more sound chips and a
comprehensive software list.
And this brings us to audio improvements, which seem to have all
crowded their way into this release. We have fixes for long-standing
sound bugs in Twin Eagle, Targ and Spectar. Sound in Amazing Maze
is no longer cut off after thirty seconds or so. There are some
big changes for QSound and Taito Zoom ZSG-2 that should make things
sound nicer. There’s also preliminary support for the NEC PC-FX’s
HuC6230 SoundBox, but be aware it has a DC offset so you’ll hear
a big thud when you start or stop it.
Recent improvements in NEC PC-98 emulation have seen dozens of
titles promoted to working status, and we’ve added another batch
of dumps from Neo Kobe Collection. There are a number of fixes that
improve TI-99 floppy and cassette support in this release. InterPro
systems can now be used via a serial terminal in configurations
without a video card or keyboard. At long last, the Apple //c Plus
can boot from its internal floppy drive. Other improvements to
computer emulation include better keyboard support for Amiga systems,
and improved GPU emulation for the HP Integral PC.

MAME 0.200
25 Jul 2018
Today’s MAME release has two consecutive zeros in the version
number! The only other time that happened was over twelve years
ago! Although MAME version numbers are just an incrementing number,
by a series of coincidences, MAME 0.200 delivers several major
changes.
MAME 0.200 includes replacements for the memory system and callback
API. This will enable new functionality and make MAME development
more straightforward. The artwork layout system has also had an
overhaul which opens new possibilities.
In arcade emulation this month, we have a number of new versions
of supported titles, including a very rare prototype of Led Storm
Rally 2011 and three more Street Fighter II': Champion Edition
bootlegs. Dreamcast/NAOMI colours are greatly improved thanks to
snickerbockers, and cam900 fixed some graphical effects in Gals
Panic 3 and Billiard Academy Real Break. Enik Land improved emulation
of the Sega Master System, Game Gear and Mega Drive VDPs, covering
more corner cases.
The really exciting emulation improvements this month are on the
computer side. There are lots of improvements for UK home computers,
including better Camputers Lynx tape support (with lots of additions
to the software list), re-worked Acorn System emulation, and support
for Acorn Bus slot devices. We’ve got a brand-new modernised Apple
IIgs driver, with improvements in just about every area. Also,
Wayder updated the Sharp 68000 software list, correcting and
organising the entries and adding the latest clean dumps.
But even more exciting is the fact that, thanks to Patrick Mackinlay’s
gargantuan effort and persistence, the CLIPPER-based InterPro 2000
workstation now works well enough to install and run CLIX (a UNIX
operating system). As far as we know, this is a first for MAME.
The improvements to SCSI, CD-ROM, and serial emulation also benefit
other emulated computer systems. Instructions are on the MAMEdev
wiki if you want to try it out.

MAME 0.199
Today’s the day for our mid-year MAME release. MAME 0.199 includes
support for the incredibly elusive Spanish arcade title El Fin Del
Tiempo, and the rare Pac-Man hack Titan. Other rare bootlegs added
include Come-Cocos (derived from Ms. Pac-Man) and Gran Rally (a
Spanish bootleg of Pole Position II).
There are some pretty big improvements to Tatsumi games (Apache 3,
Cycle Warriors, Round Up 5), some NMK mahjong games work substantially
better (Urashima Mahjong, Mahjong Daireikai, Mahjong Channel Zoom
In), and Big Run looks better than ever. War: The Final Assault no
longer crashes thanks to a fix in Voodoo emulation.
Floppy drive emulation has been further improved, and a fairly
major issue with Apple IIgs and Mac 3.5" drives has been fixed.
Sound Blaster direct DAC mode is now supported. Improved Dreamcast
GD-ROM emulation allows Daytona USA 2001 to boot. The HP 9000/300
series can now boot from floppy, and the medium-resolution colour
graphics option is supported. Tiger Electronics fans can enjoy
Battle Arena Toshinden for R-Zone.
Of course we’ve also added more alternate versions of supported
systems, software list updates, bug fixes, and internal improvements.
You can read all the details in the whatsnew.txt file, or get source
and Windows binaries from the download page.

It’s the day you’ve been eagerly awaiting all month: MAME release
day! MAME 0.198, our May release, is packed full of improvements
in lots of areas. Newly supported arcade games include the rare
video pinball game Tom Tom Magic, Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyuu EX
’98, and Keirin Ou. Newly supported computers include the TI-99/2,
Dragon MSX-64, and BBC Master 512.
This release brings graphics emulation improvements to a number of
systems, including more fixes for Sega Saturn/ST-V, missing effects
emulated in 1945k III, and improvements to the title screen in Wolf
Fang. The SH-4 recompiler now supports more FPU opcodes directly,
and NAOMI keyboards are supported. Low-level floppy drive emulation
improvements bring improved compatibility for Apple II software.
Newly supported peripherals include a PC ISA LBA BIOS card, the
Beeb Speech Synthesiser, and a number of BBC Micro pointing devices.
Other additions include new Tiger handhelds (Batman: The Animated
Series, Operation: Aliens, Wayne’s World, and X-Men), the Fidelity
Elegance and Prestige chess computers, and alternate versions of
Battle Balls, Centipede, Final Fight, Karate Blazers, Last Mission,
Real Puncher, Sengoku 3, Spy Hunter, and World Heroes 2. There are
lots of additions to the Apple II cassette software list, and
several additions to the Sorcerer cassette software list as well.
MAME now supports Korean user interface thanks to a contribution
from Neius.
For developers, we’ve fixed some issues in the debugger affecting
CPUs that use word addressing, and the source list is sorted more
intuitively in memory windows. We’ve made a number of changes to
how machine configuration works to make driver development more
intuitive and less error-prone.

MAME 0.197
25 Apr 2018
For our April release, we’re bringing even more elusive electronic
esoterica to light. MAME 0.197 finally includes support for the
1987 version of the Spanish quiz game Master Boy, believed to be
Gaelco’s first release. There are now drivers for several Neo-Geo
MVS variants, exposing different capabilities. Lamp outputs are
now supported for The Irritating Maze, bringing the game to life
a little more. We’ve added four more Tiger LCD games, all based on
licensed IP: Home Alone, Home Alone 2, Independence Day, and
Transformers – Generation 2.
The Sega Model 2 improvements keep coming, with Rail Chase 2 now
working. With its protection MCU emulated, Capcom’s F-1 Dream is
also working. MAME 0.197 adds support for alternate versions and
bootlegs of a long list of systems, including Crazy Bonus 2002,
Explosive Breaker, Fidelity Excel 68000, Lup Lup Puzzle, Pochi and
Nyaa, Renegade, and Silkworm. In addition, there are graphical
improvements to Sega ST-V/Saturn, and Magical Tetris Challenge.
There are some nice improvements for computer emulation this month,
too. The Acorn Electron has improved video handling and support
for the Mega Games Cartridge. The NEC PC-98 CD-ROM software list
has been updated with the latest dumps and compatibility status –
recent emulation improvements mean more fully supported titles.
You can now boot HP-BASIC cartridges on the HP9000/340 series.
MAME 0.196
28 Mar 2018
MAME 0.196, our March release, is here just in time for Easter,
and it’s packed with all the goodness you’ve come to expect. In a
very exciting development, Team Caps0ff have extracted the C-chip
data for Volfied, Superman, Rainbow Islands, and most importantly,
Bonze Adventure. This cleanly fixes some of the most long-standing
emulation issues in MAME. The improvements to Sega Model 2 have
continued, with Virtua Fighter 2 and Motor Raid now considered
working. Other Model 2 games are greatly improved as well.
For fans of 8-bit home computers, MAME 0.196 has improved ZX Spectrum
family emulation, fixing many graphical glitches. A QuikLoad option
has been added to several CP/M-80 machines, allowing .COM files to
be loaded directly after the operating system has booted. Emulated
IEEE-488 (GPIB) can now be tunnelled over sockets, opening up the
possibility to simulate peripherals outside MAME. Interpro progress
has continued, and is now at the point where you can boot the
rebuild floppy.
Other new working arcade games include Big Buck Hunter, an older
joystick-controlled version of Ghox, and a rare unprotected version
of Opa Opa. With some fixes to our vector maths, War: The Final
Assault is working, and Gunpey has been made playable using
decompressed sprite data extracted from a working board. New LCD
hand-helds include Dennis the Menace, Double Dragon 3, Jurassic
Park, Spider-Man, The Addams Family, The Flash, and X-Men - Project
X.
In an emulation first, MAME 0.196 supports QSound DSP emulation.
For now, it’s only enabled for the vgmplay driver by default, and
it requires a fairly fast computer to emulate at full speed. It
will be enabled by default when system requirements are a bit more
modest. The SH-4 recompiler has been enabled by default for
Dreamcast-derived systems, giving substantial performance improvements.

Well, it’s the last Wednesday of the month, and I hope you know
what that means: it’s time for your regularly scheduled MAME release.
There aren’t a huge number of new working machines in this release,
but there are some significant improvements. Thanks to kazblox,
MAME now emulates some of the peculiarities of Famicom clone hardware,
and thanks to shattered, emulation of the Agat-7 Apple II clone is
improved. Peter Ferrie provided a superior Apple II language card
implementation. We’ve got lots of additions to the BBC and PC
software lists from Nigel Barnes and darkstar.
We’ve made substantial improvements to some of MAME’s non-emulation
features. The -romident verb is now much faster when used on a
folder or archive containing multiple files, and will identify ROMs
for emulated slot devices that aren’t inserted by default. The
-listxml output now includes all linked devices, and is produced
at least 30% faster. We’ve also improved -verifyroms so it covers
more devices and is faster when verifying ROMs for a subset of
drivers/devices.
MAME 0.184 includes support for plenty of newly dumped versions of
supported arcade games, including a rare US prototype of Shanghai
III, the world release of Super Crowns Golf, a version of Flashgirl
that shows the Kyugo logo, a German version of Raiden II, the
Japanese release of Radical Radial, and bootlegs of Bomber Man and
Phoenix. There are also several new chess computers, and even more
Aristocrat Mark V gambler sets. If you’re interested in the TI-8x
graphing calculators, it’s now possible to get an emulated TI-82
or TI-85 to communicate with another emulated instance or with a
program running on the host computer over a socket.

MAME 0.183
22 Feb 2017
Hi everyone! It’s been a busy month for MAME development, and we’ve
got a whole lot of surprises to unwrap today as we continue to
celebrate twenty years of MAME. First up, we’ve added some incredibly
rare systems to MAME. Omega is an Arkanoid-inspired arcade game
with a production run of about ten boards. Dodge Man is a rare Omori
title from 1983. The vertical version of Flash Boy, a DECO Cassette
title that borrows more than a little from a well known anime is
another very rare game that was at risk of becoming nothing but a
memory. Westinghouse Test Console #5 is possibly a one-of-a-kind
wire-wrapped prototype machine for field-programming some kind of
interlocking equipment (it has a rude easter egg – press X|TRAN in
calculator mode to see it). Less rare, but still awesome, are arcade
titles Galaxy Games StarPak 3, Sega Sonic Cosmo Fighter, and a U.S.
release of Puzznic with the digitised photos intact.
This release adds support for a number of electronic toys/handheld
games, including Atari’s Touch Me (a clone of Simon, which is itself
a clone of an Atari arcade game), GAF Melody Madness, Lakeside Le
Boom, and with possibly the most awesome title if not gameplay,
LJN’s I Took a Lickin’ From a Chicken. Many of these games have
colourful, clickable artwork. MAME is dedicated to preserving more
than just video games, and these systems are great examples of some
of the other experiences you can relive through emulation.
If you use MAME’s computer emulation and have been frustrated by
modifiers not working properly in natural keyboard mode, you’ll be
pleased to know that this release addresses that. Natural keyboard
mode now works properly with many more systems, including Amiga,
Sun and RM Nimbus. Speaking of Amiga, we’ve emulated a 3rd-party
variant of the Amiga 1200 keyboard and added support for many
different language variants, so chances are you’ll be able to use
keyboard that matches your Workbench language. And speaking of
keyboards, the Zorba keyboard now works properly, so you can try
out one of the last luggable CP/M machines.
Other improvements include fixing the crash on encountering invalid
cheats, allowing multi-part software list entries to load each part
on the correct interface, emulation of the Poly-Play light organ,
a brand new preliminary Interpro 2800 driver and Clipper CPU core,
support for VIC-20 and C64 speech synthesiser cartridges, support
for the Osborne-1 Nuevo Video 80-column modification, protection
MCU emulation in Bad Dudes vs. Dragonninja and Bouncing Balls, audio
improvements to a number of supported games, and optimisation of
the netlist emulation.
Some of these improvements might seem inconsequential, or apply to
systems you don’t use, but they often lie in common components used
by many other systems. For example, the Amiga 1200 and Zorba keyboards
use the same MCU family used in a lot of arcade games published by
Taito. The same change that fixes the Zorba keyboard also fixes
enemy spawning and timing in Xain'd Sleena. The Nuevo Video board
uses a common Motorola CRT controller, so improvements made to
support it stand to benefit a lot of other systems.
Of course there are plenty of other improvements not listed here,
and you can read all about them in the whatsnew.txt file, or grab
the source or Windows binaries from the download page and join in
our 20th anniversary celebration.

MAME 0.182
As we approach the 20th anniversary of the first MAME release,
we've got a really exciting update for you. There's so much awesome
stuff in this month's release that there's no way we can possibly
cover it all here. MAME is a team effort, and we'd like to thank
everyone who's contributed towards making this release as awesome
as we think it is. One very exciting addition is support for another
version of the East German Poly-Play system, with German and Czech
ROM sets providing ten games, six of which are new. Protection on
Future Flash/Laser Base has finally been emulated, so you can take
a look at Hoei's take on Missile Command. A dump of the damaged
microcontroller (MCU) from Tatakae! Big Fighter makes this title
and Sky Robo finally playable. Another eagerly awaited addition is
the Hot-B prototype Hangzo.
Serial ports have been hooked up on Race Drivin' allowing you to
link two MAME instances over TCP, reproducing the multi-player
experience with linked cabinets. To do this, use a null modem slot
device and configure it for 38,400 Baud, 8 data bits, even parity,
and 1 stop bit. It would also be possible to connect a MAME instance
to a real board set by forwarding the connection to a serial port
on the host system.
We've received a contributed PortAudio output module and integrated
it in this release. This provides a cross-platform low latency
audio output solution. Performance should be similar to Steinberg
ASIO on Windows 7 or later without the licensing issues, and better
than SDL audio on Linux. It can be enabled by setting the sound
parameter to portaudio on the command line or in an ini file. Of
course, all the other audio output modules are still supported, so
if you're happy with your current setup you don't have to change
anything.
Although we haven't added a huge number of new microcontroller
(MCU) dumps in this release, substantial work has gone into improving
systems where we already have dumps but the emulation is lacking.
MCU emulation was added to Puzznic, Joshi Volleyball and Gladiator.
For Puzznic, this places player data at the correct location in
RAM and supplies the game with a pseudo-random number sequence
rather than a stream of zeros. Joshi Volleyball now behaves better
in service mode, allowing coins and inputs to be tested. Gladiator
now honours the coinage DIP switches. The MC68705 core has had a
complete overhaul, and all drivers using it have been reviewed.
This fixes lots of subtle issues: for example Change Lanes will
now skip the full memory tests if configured to ignore them in DIP
switches, timings have improved in Arkanoid, and the Apple II mouse
card is slightly improved. We now emulate the '705 family well
enough to support stand-alone MCU programmer boards.
Other improvements include working sound in Pole Position bootlegs,
improved video in Winning Run, preliminary banked 256 colour mode
for the NEC PC-9821, kana input on the Sharp X1, a VME bus system
with preliminary support for the miniFORCE 2P21 chassis, additional
Aristocrat Mark 5 peripheral emulation allowing non-US games to
boot, Corvus hard disks for the DEC Rainbow 100, preliminary work
on Atari Stunt Cycle (displays the playfield), fixes for the Aussie
Byte and Otrona Attaché, and support for octal and binary numbers
in debugger expressions.

MAME 0.181
Happy new year from the MAME team! To help you celebrate, weâre
unwrapping an extra-special release this month, with enough
improvements to put anyone in a good mood. The exciting news thatâs
got people talking is that protected microcontrollers (MCUs) from
a number of games have been read out and hooked up in MAME. This
gives real, emulated sound in Toaplan's Vimana, Fire Shark (also
known as Same! Same! Same!) and Teki Paki, proper emulation of
Tokio/Scramble Formation, M-chip emulation for Taito Extermination,
Dr Toppel and Plump Pop, MCU emulation for Sega Altered Beast and
Golden Axe, and partial sound in World Beach Volley. There's more
coming on this front, so stay tuned for upcoming releases!
MAME 0.181 also marks the debut of Votrax SC-01 emulation in MAME,
based on reverse-engineering die photographs. The digital section
should be pretty much perfect, although there are still some issues
in the analog section (plosives don't sound quite right). Overall,
it's a huge improvement in Votrax speech synthesis emulation, and
a great leap forward in our understanding of how the hardware works.
It also means speech samples are no longer required for a number
of games.
Building on the ARM improvements in last month's release, we now
have working floppy drives and sound in the Acorn Archimedes driver,
and default NVRAM images for the US Aristocrat Mark 5 games. This
greatly increases the amount of RISC OS software you can try out,
improves the gameplay experience in the Archimedes-based arcade
games, and allows you to play the Aristocrat gamblers without having
to make your way through the setup process first.
MAME's discrete netlist emulation library has been expanded
substantially in this release, including some new classes of devices
like ROMs, and many newly supported logic chips. This will make it
substantially easier to emulate arcade games which used discrete
TTL logic, and as a test of this new functionality, the TTL video
board from the Hazeltine 1500 intelligent terminal is now emulated
using the netlist system. There's ongoing work in this area involving
multiple developers, so look out for more exciting updates in this
space.
Weâve fixed some fairly significant bugs, including one preventing
the debugger from working on Linux or Mac with drivers that use a
dynamic recompiler core, and one that could cause MAME to crash
when using BDF fonts. The internal UI should be more efficient if
you're using icons now, and issues with spurious key repeats should
be reduced. The Beezer driver has been rewritten and should be
improved overall.
There are quite a few newly dumped arcade games in this release,
including Eeekk!, Simpson Junior (a Korean bootleg of J. J.
Squawkers), Power Flipper Pinball Shooting (an updated version of
Grand Cross), a version of Momoko 120% with English text, Miss
World 2002 (an adult Qix game), and alternate versions of The
NewZealand Story, Real Bout Fatal Fury, Space Dungeon, Flicky and
Turbo Force. The Apricot PC and Xi are now working, further increasing
MAME's coverage of DOS-based computers that aren't IBM-compatible.
You can also play with the COP44L version of Entex Space Invader,
and Mattel Funtronics Jacks and Red Light Green Light.
There are far too many improvements to list here, including lots
of fixes for graphics and flip screen issues, but you can read all
about it in the whatsnew.txt file, or grab the source or Windows
binaries from the download page and start playing.
MAME 0.180
Hello everybody! Are you ready for the November MAME release? It's
definitely ready for you, and there are lots of reasons to get
excited this time around. First and foremost, a number of ARM CPU
core fixes mean you can now boot to the RISC OS desktop on an
emulated Acorn Archimedes, and try some of the included applications.
The same bug fixes allow a number of Aristocrat Mark 5 gambling
machines to boot and run in demonstration mode. There are still
some issues to iron out, but things have definitely improved
enormously.
On the arcade front, protection on Atari Space Lords has finally
been reverse-engineered making the game playable. This is an
interesting space combat game for one or two players, where the
second player takes on the role of the gunner/co-pilot. In another
improvement that's been a long time coming, The Acclaim RAX sound
board is now emulated, bringing sound to Batman Forever and NBA
Jam Extreme. There are substantial improvements to the Magnet System
emulation (added in last month's release) making these rare prototype
bootlegs playable. David Haywood also fixed some graphical issues
in Altered Beast, and Angelo Salese fixed graphical issues in The
Lost Castle in Darkmist.
There are some other notable improvements in computer emulation,
too. Barry Rodewald has added support for IC Card (PCMCIA SRAM)
storage on the FM Towns, and substantially improved LSI Octopus
emulation. The Mac 128/512/Plus drivers have been modernised, and
serial port support has been added to the Apple IIgs driver. Another
DEC Rainbow 100 update from Bavarese fixes colours in high-resolution
mode among other improvements.
Newly supported systems include RC De Go (Go By RC outside Japan),
newly dumped versions of 1945k III, Forgotten Worlds, Sol Divide
and Vendetta, the Italian release of Mustache Boy, 286-based versions
of the Intel iSBC, bootlegs of Blue Shark, Pole Position II and
Ozma Wars, more Fidelity and Mephisto chess computers, and more
electronic toys.

Are you getting fidgety waiting for Halloween to arrive? Well now
you can take your mind off the wait by giving the brand-new MAME
release a spin! We've changed the release slightly this month: the
whatsnew file is formatted differently, the 32-bit Windows binary
package has "32bit" in its filename, and we're no longer providing
a pre-built debug binary package for Windows. We've dropped the
debug binaries as they don't seem to have a target demographic.
All builds include the MAME debugger. The release packages are
built with symbols that will give a meaningful stack trace. The
debug build was still optimised, so stack traces were no more
precise. The main difference is that debug builds have assertions
enabled which is mainly useful if you're working on the source. In
short, we don't see a use case where someone would be better off
with the debug build if they aren't compiling MAME themselves
anyway.
With that out of the way, what surprises does MAME have in store
for you all this month? We're pretty confident that we have something
for everyone! First of all, we're proud to present the Soviet arcade
game Istrebiteli ("Fighters", as in aircraft). We've also emulated
Ocean to Ocean, an early video slots game on the DECO Cassette
system. ShouTime has worked his magic again, allowing the masses
to see the rare Alpha Denshi title Splendor Blast II. But possibly
most interesting is preliminary emulation of the Magnet arcade
system, a prototype floppy disk-based system from Spain.
We've also added a number of non-arcade systems. There's the Gakken
Game Robot 9 handheld game, and several Fidelity chess systems.
Getting away from games altogether, we've added a working driver
for a VeriFone Trans payment terminal. There have been some
substantial updates to the software lists, too. The Sega CD software
list has been completely updated to use the latest and best dumps
known to exist, we've replaced a number of pirate Apple II disk
images with clean cracks, there are some notable additions to the
Sharp X68000 floppy list, and even an obscene Pokémon hack for
Game Boy that's being sold in China.

bug was fixed, but gcc 5.0 is explicitly required by the package.
see scripts/genie.lua. It also mentions GCC 5.2 being problematic
in the same file.
given that nobody has tested it for <5.3, leave it at 5.3 required.
|
|
The end of the month is almost here, and it's time to unwrap another
shiny MAME release. This time around we've had the pleasure of
seeing Angelo Salese show us all that he's a bug-fixing machine,
resolving many long-standing bugs in playable games (including
graphical glitches in Combat School, and issues with slopes in
Sunset Riders). Highlights from newly emulated machines include
the Esselte 100 classroom computer from Sweden (thanks Edstrom),
Slap Shooter (courtesy of ShouTime and the Dumping Union), the
French version of the Apple //e Enhanced, the original Japanese
version of Street Fighter with pneumatic buttons (thanks ShouTime),
and the original version of Nintendo's Popeye on Sky Skipper hardware
(yet another gem from ShouTime).
On the gambling front, we have another batch of layouts from John
Parker, clickable button lamps for more machines from einstein95,
and improved inputs/output for a number of games from AJR. Speaking
of inputs and outputs, Risugami added/improved outputs and layouts
for a number of Midway games.
This release includes preliminary support for persistent controller
ID mappings from Tomer Verona. This may help if you're having issues
with Xbox controllers appearing in a different order when you
relaunch MAME. If you're interested, check out the documentation
and see if it helps. It's still not particularly easy to use, but
it's ready for testing and improvement and may be useful, particularly
for people with wireless controllers.
Other notable improvements include working envelope and LFSR
emulation for Mega Duck, better emulation of MCU communication for
Taito Super Qix hardware, support for multiple BBC Micro floppy
drive controllers, restoring the ability to have MAME accept incoming
socket connections to communicate with an emulated serial port,
and more features for the UI graphics viewer.
MAME 0.178 also adds software list updates with the latest prototype
cartridge dumps, numerous bootlegs and alternate versions of
supported games, and steady progress on non-working systems like
the CMI IIx and LSI Octopus.

Today marks the end of the southern winter/northern summer, and
time for the hotly anticipated August MAME release. Possibly most
importantly, we've fixed the issues that were causing menus to
display off the edge of the screen on Windows (MT06335). We've
integrated a fix for Aimtrack Dual Lightguns on windows from new
contributor Pitou, and the behaviour of XAudio2 sound output should
be much improved when adjusting game speed to match monitor refresh
rate. Mouse behaviour on SDL builds (Linux/Mac) is also improved.
Thanks very much to all the users who reported issues and helped
out testing fixes.
We have lots of newly working computer systems to show off: Xerox
Alto-II, TeleNova Compis (a 16-bit educational computer from Sweden),
Victor 9000, Wang Professional Computer (DOS-based but not IBM
compatible), Atari Portfolio (of Terminator 2 fame), and Vector-06C
(a mass-produced Soviet home computer). Newly working games include
Namco Techno Drive, the original Japanese release of Orca's River
Patrol, Korean puzzle game Intergirl, and gambling game Magical
Butterfly. Speaking of gambling games, this release is a huge update
for BFM, JPM and Maygay fruit machines. John Parker has created a
tool that converts MFME layouts to MAME layouts and contributed
layouts for hundreds of games. This should make it far easier and
more rewarding to work on these drivers.
MAME now includes a driver for a VGM music file player virtual
machine (VGM is a popular video game music file format). This
feature is primarily intended as a way for developers to test sound
cores and do A/B comparisons, as it's a lot easier to just load a
VGM test case than to play a game until it uses the sound chip
feature you want to test, but it's also a convenient way to enjoy
a wide variety of video game music. You can try it out by running
mame vgmplay -bitb file.vgm or choosing "VGM player" from the list
of systems and loading a VGM file in the appropriate media slot
through the internal file manager.
The generic serial terminal and keyboard devices have been greatly
improved. This should make computers controlled via serial port
far more usable. (Keyboard layout, key repeat, simultaneous
keypresses, local echo, auto CR/LF and audible bell have all been
improved and/or made configurable.)
There are a number of improvements for MAME developers and
contributors. We now allow Unicode characters in C++ and Lua source
comments. This can make documentation clearer when referring to
original machine labels. Source files must be encoded in UTF-8 with
no initial byte order mark. Non-ASCII characters are allowed in
comments, but not in most other parts of source files. Source and
comments must still be written in English. We've improved build
times a little, and migrated a lot of MAME-specific constructs to
standard C++14 library features. A number of MAME APIs have been
streamlined and modernised. The palette viewer now shows some
details about the colour swatch under the mouse pointer (press F4
during gameplay to show, this may be interesting to regular users
as well).
Of course, this release also comes with more alternate versions of
games supported (including The NewZealand Story, Metamorphic Force,
Super Hang-On, Terminator 2, Golden Tee '98, Gulf Storm, and Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles), and other fixes and improvements for machines
already emulated by MAME (including Midway V-Unit outputs/layouts
from Risugami and input/output improvements for gambling/medal
games from AJR).

It's the last Wednesday of the month, and time for another MAME
release. We'd like to thank the Debian team for their help during
this development cycle: they've provided patches allowing MAME to
build cleanly on several more platforms, and arranged access to
IBM-sponsored POWER8 machines so we could improve our PowerPC
support.
The popular crt-geom and crt-geom-deluxe shaders have been ported
to BGFX and are now distributed with MAME, thanks to cgwg. The BGFX
versions of these shaders allow live adjustment of effect parameters
through the slider controls menu.
Interesting newly supported games include rare Soviet arcade games
Gorodki and Kot Rybolov, gambling mahjong game Swing Gal, and
alternate versions of Beastie Feastie and Raiden Fighters 2. Graphical
issues have been fixed in Seibu Kaihatsu's Denjin Makai, Godzilla,
Legionnaire and Zero Team, and there are some improvements to the
Tandy CoCo 3 palette. A few remaining gameplay issues in Taito's
Operation Wolf were resolved.
Thanks to a huge group effort involving some of our highly valued
external contributors as well some MAME team members, we've got
some visible progress on the Sun SPARCstation drivers. The SPARCstation
IPC (sun4_40 driver) now passes its self-tests and allows you to
use the OpenBoot interactive Forth interpreter at the ok prompt.
Note that there are still issues with SCSI emulation, so it won't
boot from and emulated hard disk or CD-ROM. In other news for
emulation of professional systems, MAME now supports the TeleVideo
990 and 995-65 terminals.
For people using CRT monitors and/or running games at native
resolution, we've added a lot of characters to the uismall.bdf font
supplied with MAME. It now covers most European languages using
Latin and Cyrillic scripts, as well as modern Greek and half-width
katakana. Changes were also made to improve legibility.
For developers, scrolling and hilighting in the state (registers)
view have been fixed, and viewing memory in the debugger no longer
causes spurious side effects like bank switches in systems like the
Apple II and Osborne 1. There's also been a lot of refactoring and
modernisation, particularly in the netlist and UI code.
|
|
|
|
The latter allows users to override the value with a newer version.
|
|
|
|
Get ready for your vacation and grab MAME 0.175!
We're proud to say MAME now supports a number of previously unemulated
prototypes, alternate versions of games, and unusual systems.
Prototypes include the super-rare Konami Kyuukoukabakugekitai, Home
Data's Mahjong Joshi Pro-wres Give Up 5 Byou Mae, and an early
Japanese version of E.D.F.: Earth Defense Force. Atari Moto Frenzy,
previously lacking protection emulation, is now fully playable.
We've also added a number of gambling games, including some Flaming
7's variants.
Many more Game Boy peripherals are now supported, including real-time
clocks, light sensors and tilt sensors. This makes several previously
unsupported games fully playable.
This release includes improvements to the Sega Master System and
SG-1000 emulation, including better SG-1000 expansion slot support,
and drivers with correct clock speeds for South American Master
System variants.
There's some big news in Sun emulation: all sun3 models will now
POST, MAME has a SPARCv7 CPU core, and there has been substantial
progress towards emulating the SPARCstation 1 (sun4c). Using unidasm
(built with TOOLS=1) you can disassemble SPARCv7 SPARCv7 or SPARCv9
code, incuding all VIS variants up to VIS-3B.
As usual, there are many emulation improvements, including fixes
for keyboard controls in some TRS-80 games, and better Seibu COP
emulation in Legionnaire, Heated Barrel and Godzilla.
In less visible changes, MAME's memory system got a nice cleanup
exposing a number of existing issues which are now fixed, and the
netlist-based discrete circuit simulation code has had a major
overhaul with lots of performance improvements. There are a number
of improvements to MAME's debugger modules in this release,
particularly the imgui-based debugger.
|
|
Remove merged patches.
We're pleased to announce the release of MAME 0.174!
This new release includes some exciting newly-playable machines,
including the Tiger Game.com handheld and the ultra-rare Seibu
Kaihatsu title, Metal Freezer.
Meanwhile, the Apple 2 driver now supports the Mockingboard 4C card,
and the regressions in the IT Eagle (Golden Tee Fore) driver's
colors from the previous release have been fixed.
Last but not least, there should be better support for DirectInput
8 on Windows, including supporting older game controllers which
previously only worked using the DirectInput 7 module. If you still
have a controller which DirectInput 8 does not support that you
regularly use, please contact us so that we know what controllers
still do not work.
|
|
|
|
It's the end of another month, and time for a new MAME release.
This time there are more improvements for capabilities we have added
in previous versions.
MAME now includes ports of some popular shaders for the BGFX renderer,
including the EAGLE, HQx and xBR scaling effects. Please be aware
that the BGFX renderer is still a work in progress, and you may
experience some stability issues when using it.
This release introduces a new cheat engine based on the Lua scripting
language. This opens the door to exciting new possibilities. One
of the most significant improvements is better support for systems
with banked memory, including many 8-bit home computers like the
Apple II family.
MAME's archive file handling has been improved in a number of ways.
ZIP64 format is now supported, allowing MAME to archives over 4GiB
in size. This mean that, for example, large flyer collections don't
need to be unzipped for use with the internal UI. 7zip support has
been updated for the latest 7zip release, including new archive
features and many bug fixes. We've also fixed a number of bugs in
the internal file browser.
Of course this release also includes many other improvements from
the MAME team and external contributors.
|
|
It's with great pleasure that we announce the release of MAME 0.172.
This release includes several notable things above and beyond the
usual assortment of new systems, new features, and bug fixes.
Most importantly, this is the first release of MAME since the change
to a proper open-source licensing scheme as announced earlier this
month. From this release onward, MAME will be distributed under a
GPL-2.0+ license, with the bulk of code being covered under a
3-clause BSD license.
MAME now has an up-to-date set of documentation! You can find it
under the "Documentation" drop-down at the top of this site, or go
to http://docs.mamedev.org/ to check it out.
Due to the large number of configuration changes made in this
version, we strongly advise all users to delete their existing INI
configuration files and re-create them using the "-cc" option.
In case you are just overwriting previous release files note that
you better remove plugin folder first
For those of you running MAME on authentic CRT monitors, MAME now
incorporates a number of scaling-related features from GroovyMAME,
thanks to its author being brought on board the team, which should
help reduce user fragmentation. Please note: If you have issues
with MAME 0.172's graphics output, please ensure that "unevenstretch"
is set to 1 in your MAME configuration.
MAME 0.172 will also introduce a new high-score saving system using
Lua scripting. The feature is still experimental, but it's something
to keep an eye on for interesting future developments!
This version additionally marks the creation of a cross-platform
data-driven shader system via the BGFX renderer, which allows you
to apply shader effects per-screen, and more.

--------------
-zx: Start of a hardware-correct rewrite [O. Galibert]
-Aristocrat MKV driver: More accurate documentation. Also added some
technical notes. [Roberto Fresca]

* Add configured banking and save state support
-Osborne Vixen: fixed screen (thanks to OG who added M1 support to the
Z80). Various other fixes. Marked as Working [Robbbert]
-n64: Simulation of cpu cycles from the skipped RDRAM initialization. [Happy]
This allows later SI initialization to see something closer to an
expected value for the system uptime.
-making logerror part of machine and device classes [Miodrag Milanovic]
display tag of device that logged message
-naomi/triforce docs update [f205v]
-peplus.c: Documentation update based on newly found PSR (Program
Summary Report). [Kevin N, BrianT]
-TMS5xxx: Fix for occasional audio 'spike' instability/wraparound
glitches caused by improper truncation in the lattice filter
multiplier. This is not an optimal fix as it isn't correct to
hardware, but it works better than the previous approximation.
[Lord Nightmare]
-Derived a new machine with improved memory map, remapped the roms
load, and created proper inputs set for Genie (ICP-1, set 2). Also
added technical notes and findings... [Roberto Fresca]
-Goldnpkr.c driver: Added games and technical notes, and some
clean-ups... [Roberto Fresca]
-Fix all instances of PVS-Studio warning V578, "An odd bitwise operation
detected. Consider verifying it". [MooglyGuy]

coin lines through dedicated inputs. Also fixed graphics.
[Roberto Fresca]

-OSD/SDL: add missing header to fix build on NetBSD. [Thomas Klausner]
The file was removed from the other gmake.*/genie.make files. The
build/gmake.* files do not exist upstream, so this is a purely local
problem.
-namcos23: port b bit 6 is also an input, handle accordingly. Probably
JVS. [O. Galibert]
-mc6845: fixed hd6845 rasters in interlace mode [Nigel Barnes]
* bbc now uses correct hd6845

-naomi.c: added "NAOMI Development BIOS v1.10" [Andy Geezer, MetalliC]
-Aristocrat MKIV driver: Changed the Fever Pitch input scheme and
artwork layout, since it seems that the game lacks of a gambling or
double-up feature. Also cleaned a bit the driver. [Roberto Fresca]

feature/function. Changed the inputs and artwork layout accordingly.
[Roberto Fresca]
-HLSL [ImJezze]

toggled on again
* screen adjustment (scale, offset) can now be handled by the
respective render API itself (default behavior is as before)
* D3D (if HLSL) is activated handles screen adjustment by itself
within the shader, which fixes the odd behavior of some effects
(e.g. round corners) when screen scale and offset is used
* fixed bug that resets the HLSL settings when switching between
window mode and fullscreen
* fixed changed screen adjustment for multi screens
* the vector renderer now tries to detect a invariabel vector
intensity and disables the calculation of a dynamic beam width
* fixed not used HLSL settings from <custom>.ini if MAME was started
without driver parameter
* removed default values from HLSL sliders, the defaults here are
more like null values to hint when an effect would be disable
* slightly changed default HLSL settings
* fixed missing shadow mask texture when switching between window
mode and full screen
-z800x: Fix the disassembly [Oliver Lehmann]
-ap2_dsk.c: support 36-track Apple II NIB images [Peter Ferrie]

* BG colour changed to more likely pen (fade in/out on intro & end)
-se3208: make sure the low bits of the stack pointer are always 0 [Luca Elia]
-se3208.c: disallowed unaligned dword reads/writes, this allows
Donggul Donggul Haerong to function, although not 100% sure it's the
correct fix [David Haywood]
-Allow for Emscripten compile to JavaScript out of the box. [Justin Kerk]
MAME can now be built using Emscripten's 'emmake' tool, e.g. like so:
emmake make SUBTARGET=pacman SOURCES=src/mame/drivers/pacman.cpp
This should produce a .js file which can be supplied to an HTML front-end.

-bbc: fdc intrq/drq causes nmi [Nigel Barnes]
-HLSL changes [ImJezze]
* Unified HLSL render pipline for raster and vector graphics
* simplified draw call of render pass functions
* reduced number of used render targets from 7 to 4 (2 native and 2
pre-scaled)
* made render pass functions (nearly) independent from each other
* unified render pipeline for raster and vector graphics, which means
that all effects are now also available for vector graphics
(except scan-lines)
* removed/replaced simple.fx by primary.fx
* removed CU_PHOSPHOR_IGNORE uniform, which was only used in phosphor
pass function and is now directly set
* added CU_TARGET_DIMS uniform based on the current render target
* added CU_QUAD_DIMS uniform based on the current full screen polygon
quad
* removed pre-scale knowledge from shaders
* fixed DX9 related half pixel offset in most shaders
* reduced shadow mask color bleeding
* fixed defocus strength with different pre-scales
* added slight noise to bloom effect to reduce the color banding of
lower bloom levels
* fixed position of reflection effect when screen is rotated or
flipped
* fixed roundness and size of rounded corners in any aspect ratio
* added distortion pass, which is applied after the bloom pass and
moved curvature, vignetting, rounded corners and reflection effect
to this pass
* fixed bloom stair-step artifacts when screen is curved
* added smooth border effect and option, its amount is limited by the
amount of rounded corners
* added bloom overdrive effect and options, this effect allows to
overdrive pure colors like red, green and blue to become more
brighter
* merged vector and raster bloom options, use vector.ini or
raster.ini to distinguish
* added raster.ini and lcd.ini to parse_standard_inis()
* added bounds() and screen_bounds() getter to layout_view
* added current_view() getter to render_target
* many other small changes and refactoring
* fixed vector intensity
* fixed vector flicker
* replace beam width by beam width min. and beam width max. width, this
makes it possible to create a linear dynamic beam width by the amount
of intensity of the beam
* added beam intensity weight, this adds an exponential factor to the
dynamic beam width (values greater than 0 will push larger intensities
more than smaller intensities)
* fixed ratio of "vector points" (zero-length lines)
-psxcd: Declaring ROM images for the CDROM controller MCU. [Felipe Sanches]
-Apollo changes: [Hans Ostermeyer]
* fixed the Apollo floppy disk emulation
* added the media option -node_id resp. -ni to set the node ID from a

* removed excessive log entries from unmapped ISA Bus access
* fixed date (and some other issues) in mc146818 (new in MAME 0166)
