MAME 0.280

MAME 0.280

It’s been a month, so it must be time for MAME 0.280 to be released! One interesting addition this month is the very rare 1986 arcade game 119 from Coreland and Sega (the game is named after the ambulance/fire emergency telephone number used in Japan). If you’ve been following along with the work on Namco System 23 emulation, you can now see several more video hardware features emulated. Sound issues in Konami’s Golfing Greats have finally been fixed properly.

You’ll also find improved Acorn BBC Micro emulation, a few more working TV games and handheld multi-game systems, and quite a few more playable video gambling systems. Improvements to Mega Drive emulation fix issues with some of the more sensitive games on the system. A number of graphical glitches plaguing arcade games have been solved, too.

You can read about everything we’ve been working on over the past few weeks in the whatsnew.txt file. As always, source code and 64-bit Windows binary packages are available from the download page.

Here’s Bob Zed’s video with a few highlights from this month’s release. It obviously doesn’t show anywhere near all the new poker machines.

The Hyper Neo Geo 64 games are shown as they were marked working this month. There were no emulation changes this month, this was just confirming that there are no game-breaking emulation bugs and the games game be completed normally, albeit with graphical issues and bad sound.
