DU: Know Your Roll

If high speed Armadillos are your thing, you're in luck. The next release of MAME will include Armadillo Racing (AM2, World).

This PCB is rarely seen outside of it's cabinet and up 'til now was only seen for the Japanese market. Luck was on our side when we spotted a PCB for sale on eBay. Upon closer inspection it turned out to be an English version. So with the combined efforts of Phil Bennett, Ryan Holtz, Bill D. and myself we were able to archive what is likely an extremely rare version of this quirky little game.

Now, even I can understand the game instructions ;-p

NegaMAME 0.232-1

Along with MAME and all its fork, NegaMAME 0.232-1 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: 0.232-1 must be understood as the 2nd version of NegaMAME synchronised with MAME v0.232. If other issues arise with this version, I would release a v0.232-2.

MAME 0.232

MAME 0.232

It's time for MAME 0.232, and do we have a surprise for you! The incredibly rare Universal game Mrs. Dynamite has finally been found and dumped! This is an early example of a game where you place bombs to kill enemies that walk over them, showing Universal's flair for cute characters and cutscenes. Mrs. Dynamite is believed to had performed poorly on location tests, and never had a widespread release. The graphics in the version that has been dumped don't match what's shown on flyers. Other arcade additions include Dokaben 2 and a prototype of Spinal Breakers.

Namco racing games have taken a leap forward this month. Final Lap has its sprite chip hooked up subtly differently to later games on the System II platform, which had been causing graphical issues on the title screen. Lack of playback status register emulation in the C140 sound chip was causing issues with engine sounds in Final Lap, Suzuka 8 Hours, and Four Trax. The horizontal position of the road layer has also been adjusted to better match videos made using original hardware.

A number of bug fixes allow previously unplayable Japanese home computer games, including µPD7220 issues affecting the Madou Monogatari games on PC-98, the missing 1-bit DAC sound on PC-98, broken sprites in Asuka 120% Burning Fest. on FM Towns, and background bugs on Sharp X68000. Mac media support continues to improve, with working CD-ROM drives on more Macs, and fixes for high density floppy drives. The V.Smile Smart Keyboard is now supported, in US, French, and German variants. Tim Lindner has continued to fix long-standing bugs in Tandy CoCo 3 emulation.

Software list additions include Taiwanese Game Gear cartridges, Master System prototypes, a big batch of software for the Australian MicroBee series, and quite a few add-on ROMs for the Acorn BBC Micro. We've also got the latest Apple II floppy dumps and cracks, FM Towns floppies and CDs, and PC floppies.

PfeMAME Version 2.17 Has Been Released Today

Todays release includes a large number of bug fixes and quality improvements. Further improvements to operation under Linux compared to Windows have been added. As a major improvement, I have finally worked out the correct operation of MAME systems programs being run using the XML file 'short' name as I call it. There were some path issues and I was not specifiying the media type properly. Under MAME you can run a program using the full file path, or if it's a system you can use the name located in the XML file for that system. If you go with the XML file name, you must have the program files stored in a very specific location for MAME to work. This is not documented well enough in my opinion so it took a lot of trial and error to work out that it needs to be like this (this is an example using a ZX Spectrum program);

For the ZX spectrum program 'The Birds and The Bees'; The program file name is 'the birds and the bees.tzx', while the short name in the XML file is 'birdsbee'. Your ROMs folder structure needs to look like this;
ROMS
spectrum_cass
birdsbee
the birds and the bees.tzx
If you were to structure as per the above, and from the command line run;

MAME.exe spectrum -cass birdsbee

Check out the changelog for a full list of changes as there are quite a few this time around.

You can download this release from HERE.

Please read the manual as it has everything you need. Please report bugs. You can email mailto:pfemame@gmail.com or use the features on the sourceforge site to create a ticket, leave a review, or chat.
