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.

MAME 0.231

MAME 0.231

MAME 0.231, our April release, is out now! The Yamaha FM synthesis rewrite is progressing, with the OPL family (including YM2413, YM3526, YM3812, YMF262 and Y8950) done this month. A number of regressions reported against the previous release have also been fixed. Most things should be improved, but if you notice something wrong with a system using one of these chips, be sure to let us know. Warp-1, a very rare Sun Electronics game from the late '70s, has been added this month. This is an early example of an "into the screen" space shooter.

For as long as it has been emulated, the "3D" stages in Contra have been too easy. This comes down to the functionality of the Konami 007452 chip, which Konami calls a VRC&DMP. Now we know that VRC stands for Virtual ROM Controller, and controls ROM banking. However, the DMP part has been more of a mystery, assumed to be some kind of protection. This month, furrtek worked out that it's apparently some kind of Divide/Multiply Processor, for 16-bit maths operations that would be unacceptably slow on the games's pair of 6809-family CPUs. The great news is the game now runs correctly, the bad news is you'll probably die a lot more.

David "Haze" Haywood is back this month with fixes for several arcade games that have never been quite right. He's fixed graphical priority issues in SNK's Beast Busters and Mechanized Attack, improved timing in Seibu Kaihatsu's Shot Rider, and corrected layer offsets in Mitchell's Funky Jet. He also added support for a couple of protected Mega Drive bootleg games from Argentina. Recently, David has been streaming MAME gaming sessions, often highlighting under-appreciated games. You can watch the recorded streams on his YouTube channel. Still on the topic of things that have never been right, sasuke has been busy this month. He's improved the Nichibutsu 1412M2 DAC playback rate and timer period calculation, most noticeable on the Mighty Guy soundtrack, and made Taito's unicycling game Cycle Maabou playable.

That's all we've got time for here, but you can read about all the ... (Read More)

Progetto-SNAPS 0.230 Update

https://www.progettosnaps.net/MW_pics/pS_UPD.png

Ready the MAME 0.230 update of "MAME progetto-SNAPS".

    • It's available this folder on Mega.nz that allows individually download files to update from version to version. The folder will be temporarily available until the next update.

    • I'm back, after almost a year, to update the important category of "Cabinets"; for arcade machine images the most important part of the research was done by MetalGod.

    • Also for images related to software lists I release many updates, some that complete lists, such as "ti99_cart", "vsmile_cart", "vsmilem_cart", "psx", "gamegear", "fmtown_cd", "megacd" and "hp_ipc" and here I have to thank JoeMAME for the massive contribution.

    • I warn all users that from these updates I have removed the direct link from the pages to download the package with the dat (and the ini file); these two files are contained within the image packages. If you still want to download them individually, you can find them all on the page: https://www.progettosnaps.net/dats/.

    • Another small but, in my opinion, very useful news can be seen on my home-page: now the "News" come directly from the RSS file; at the top, under the title, you will see the latest news highlighted. The others follow the new table which summarizes the latest updates made for each file/category of resources. Furthermore, the columns can be reordered simply by clicking on the column header. This table is now automatically generated thanks to yet another motoschifo job, for which a thousand thanks are not enough!

    • The next update is scheduled for Sunday, June 20, 2021, presumably with version 0.232 of MAME.

4,762 snaps and 1,708, icons, pictures, pdf and zip downloadable here:

    • Artworks: progetto-SNAPS Artworks - Packed
