Another Team Europe WIP

Team Europe 's latest blog entry of Karnov (US, rev 5) takes out (supported in recent MAME development update) another one of those pesky, nuisance i8751 MCUs in order to fully preserve a Data East game.

NegaMAME 0.224-1

Along with MAME and all its fork, NegaMAME 0.224-1 is also ready for download. Go grab it at http://babelsoft.net/products/negamame.htm



This MAME derivative has been designed to be used with the front-end Negatron in order to have complete access to all the machine configuration options within Negatron, especially useful for emulated computers and consoles.



This is quite irrelevant for emulated arcade games though. If you only play arcade games, you can simply use Negatron with regular MAME.



Note: 0.224-1 must be understood as the 1st version of NegaMAME synchronised with MAME v0.224. If other issues arise with this version, I would release a v0.224-2

R. Belmont - "Compatibility Is A Tricky Business" - Re-cracking Apple IIgs's Alien Mind (08/17/2020)

WIP news From R. Belmont:

Compatibility is a tricky business



One of the major exclusive games for the Apple IIgs was Alien Mind, by programmer Robin Kar and artist Matt Crysdale. The game originally came on 2 protected 3.5″ disks using a non-standard format which fit 920K on a disk (Apple's standard format fit 800K). There's a common crack by a French group called...



wherein R. Belmont uses MAME to alter a known crack for PBI Software's "Alien Mind" on the Apple IIgs.

MAME 0.224

MAME 0.224



Are you ready kids? MAME 0.224 (our August release) is out now! As always, there's plenty to talk about. First of all, the Magnavox Odyssey² and Philips Videopac+ G7400 have had a major overhaul, with many graphical errors fixed, most software working, and support for the Chess and Home Computer modules. The Gigatron 8-bit homebrew computer, created by the late Marcel van Kervinck and based entirely on 7400-series logic chips, is now working with graphics and controller support. Acorn 8-bit expansions continue to arrive, with several additions for the BBC Micro and Electron. Speaking of expansions, regular contributor F.Ulivi has delivered serial modules for the HP Integral PC and HP9825/HP9845 families.



Analog arcade audio continues to advance. If you've played Namco's Tank Battalion, ancestor of the NES classic Battle City, you'll be acutely aware of the limitations of the sample-based audio. That has been addressed this month, with netlist-based audio emulation. For Midway, 280 ZZZAP sound has been further refined, and netlist-based audio has been implemented for Laguna Racer and Super Speed race, which use similar circuitry. Sega G-80 games have received some long-overdue attention, with netlist-based audio added for Astro Blaster, Eliminator, Space Fury and Zektor, as well as better Universal Sound Board emulation for Star Trek and Tac/Scan, and more accurate CPU timing. Other games receiving netlist-based audio are Destroyer and Flyball from Atari, and Fire One and Star Fire from Exidy. On the topic of audio emulation, the ultra low cost GameKing now has preliminary sound emulation, making the games feel more complete.



Work on UK gambling systems has continued, with several more Barcrest, BWB and JPM games working in this release. There are also a number of new European gambling games, including several Cherry Master and Jolly Joker sets. A significant number of arcade driving games have had additional internal layouts optimised for use on wide aspect ratio displays added. Other advances in home computer emulation include Apple IIe RGB monitor mode support, Apple II ... (Read More)

BletchMAME 2.0
