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 CMS SCSII II card support, and proper emulation speed for the VTech Laser 500.
As always, there’s far more happening than we have space for here, and you can read all about it in the whatsnew.txt file, or get the source and 64-bit Windows binary packages from the download page.

Thanks, I am pretty sure James W. knows about this already. The YouTube video is useless to us for putting into MAME, though it might be mildly useful for faking up a video during development. Best case scenario, the owner of the disc lends it out for re-dumping with a Domesday Duplicator or otherwise obtains such a device himself.

Is there a command-line switch to output a list of machines that use it?

> netlist-based audio emulation
A bug surfaced regarding nl.lst file.
-- src/mame/nl.lst
nl.lst
List of all drivers using netlist code. This file is parsed by then genie build system.
/* Use CPUs */
/* Do not use CPUs */
@source:cheekyms.cpp cheekyms // 8004 (c) [1980?]
@source:cocoloco.cpp cocoloco // 198?, Petaco S.A. cocolocoa // 198?, Recel S.A. cocolocob // 198?, Petaco S.A.
@source:zaccaria.cpp jackrabt // (c) 1984 jackrabt2 // (c) 1984 jackrabts // (c) 1984 monymony // (c) 1983 --
Some entries that belong in the Use CPUs section showing up in non-cpu section of nl.lst source file.

Hi Could you Please bring back the Big Red Button in the main Menu that when hit starts to record and create an inp-file? for years I used ONLY MAME 106 because it's GUI (I'm too old or stupid to understand and use command line..). and then I moved to MAME 181 which is in command line but I manage to use it ONLY because of the red recording button and the green playback button! Cheers!

I've been a MAME user since a bit less than 0.35 (that's year 1999 to you) and I don't recall MAME ever having a feature like that. Not even MAME32/MAMEUI.
I think you are mistaking it with something else... WolfMAME maybe? A front-end that manages MAME in the background? A less popular MAME derivative? Pay close attention to how that MAME 0.106 is called.

Thank you for the quick reply Yes,you're right! I've been using WolfMAME. I sure hope that someday the MAME guys will issue a user- friendly GUI Version of MAME. Cheers!

Do you by any chance come from Spanish communities? Because there exists a Front-End (a program that manages command line applications in the background and offers a graphic interface to the user) that looks like what you mention.
WolfMAME neither has buttons like that. As far as I know it is command line like official MAME.
Look for LNSCompFE.

Red button for recording inp-files and green button for playback. I have submitted many games this way at the Twin Galaxies site. btw my name is Doron and I'm from Israel
I know that WolfMAME 181,183 and 187 have those features. Cheers!
