PfeMAME Version 2.30 Has Been Released Today
This release has been quite a while in the making and its not all good news. The Windows version works just fine. Linux on the other hand is a problem. Packaging the application with the necessary drivers to work across all distributions is near impossible. That coupled with the poor options for packaging wxPython apps for Linux doesn't help either. And still further is the lack of any serious work happening to release an updated version of the WxPython graphical toolset - its been almost a year since the last release and Linux support due to the move to Wayland is a real problem. So, for this release I will drop a packaged version for Linux but your mileage may vary.
On to the changes for this release:
- Fixed checkallroms that was somehow broken
- Some improvements to the auto-restart - not 100% yet but I'm learning. Hope to nail it for the next release.
- Some improvements to showing the video player in Linux under Wayland. VLC backend still isn't supported due to no ongoing WxPython works in this area that I can see (Until the next release maybe?). The wx.mediactrl is supported as long as you use the right gstreamer library (you have to use an unsupported library as they patched support for the wrong library - go figure).
- Fixed the search control - was quite buggy
- On startup in Linux it will check for Wayland and warn you if its present due to the buggy support
- Ongoing works to improve the list control. I'm using UltimateListControl that is great but nobody seems to be supporting anymore and its full of bugs. So I'm manually patching it and distributing the patched copy for now.
- Fixed some tooltips issues
- Ongoing work in the 'non-mame' emulators window. Have added a defaults option that uses ... (Read More)

NegaMAME 0.265-1
Along with MAME and all its fork, NegaMAME 0.265-1 is also ready for download. Go grab it at https://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: 0.265-1 must be understood as the 1st version of NegaMAME synchronised with MAME v0.265. If other issues arise with this version, I would release a v0.265-2.

MAMEUI64 0.265.0 has been released.
Available at https://messui.1emulation.com
- Fixed a regression with the mouse pointer.
Added some previews of improvements that might appear in MAME in the near future
- Applied a fix for a last minute regression with some music synthesizers: https://github.com/mamedev/mame/commit/a...a2a0b6bf1730524
- Sharp MZ700: Updated software list as per MT 08811: https://mametesters.org/view.php?id=8811
- Sord M5: Increase RAM to address MT 08796. https://mametesters.org/view.php?id=8796
Please note that on Windows 10 and 11, Microsoft Defender has recently been noticed to randomly flag and delete executables that are unsigned or not approved by them, with a nonsense virus warning. This can happen with any homebrew program, not just MAME. Please be careful. You might need to replace Defender with something more reliable.

MAME 0.265
MAME 0.265
It's time for our very special MAME 0.265 release! April has seen development across numerous areas. MAME now has support for touch screens on Linux and Windows 8 or later, opening up new possibilities for interactive artwork. If you have a suitable multi-touch screen, you can now play chords on systems with on-screen piano keyboards. Check the documentation for specifics on how touch differs from mouse control in menus. You'll need to turn on the enable_touch option to use touch screen support on Linux.
A pair of 1970s portable computers from IBM are now emulated in MAME: the IBM 5100 and IBM 5110. Based on a heavily microcoded 16-bit architecture, these systems ran APL software by emulating a System/360 mainframe and BASIC software by emulating a System/3 business system (ancestors of IBM Z and IBM i, respectively). Prior to the introduction of the IBM 5100, APL was exclusive to large mainframe computers. A self-contained 25 kg system running APL as well as BASIC was revolutionary.
You can now plug a virtual Super Game Module into your emulated ColecoVision, adding more RAM and better sound output. Many titles from the vibrant ColecoVision homebrew development community require or make use of the Super Game Module. There's also a big update to the ColecoVision software lists, including lots of homebrew software to try out. Other software list additions this month include one of the remaining Bandai RX-78 game cartridges, two more GameKing III games, a batch of MSX2 floppy disks, and the latest Apple II floppy disk dumps.
Of course, we haven't stopped working on arcade game emulation. For the first time, you can play Konami's Tokimeki Memorial Oshiete Your Heart games. These spin-offs of the popular dating simulation series used heart rate and galvanic skin resistance sensors and printed the results from your game. What appears to be an early version of Visco's Kokontouzai Eto Monogatari drop puzzle game has been found and dumped. This version has much less content in the data ROM and a smaller program. Another rare find dumped this month is a production version of the CES Galaxy Games StarPak 4 multi-game cartridge.
Other improvements this month include serial console support for the KIM-1 hobbyist computer and an option to use one binary file per track when extracting CHD CD-ROM images. You can read about everything that happened in the whatsnew.txt file, or get the source code and 64-bit Windows binary packages from ... (Read More)
