MAME 0.260
Some long-anticipated updates landed in October, making MAME 0.260 a very exciting release! Firstly, there are some general updates to MAME itself. After a few false starts, MAME now supports bgfx video output with Wayland on Linux. As requested by users, you can finally use delta CHD files for clone systems and software items. This allows for major disk space savings in some cases when you have multiple versions of a system or software item. There’s also an updated version of PortAudio included.
Two very different systems from Casio have been promoted to working this month. The first is the CZ-101 compact keyboard synthesiser. It used Phase Distortion Synthesis, which was Casio’s patent-avoiding answer to Yamaha’s DX series. To help you load patches, MAME can now feed SysEx files to emulated MIDI input ports. The other is the Loopy, a game console released exclusively in Japan and marketed primarily to girls. While sound output, the sticker printer, and the frame grabber accessory are not emulated (yet), you can try out the system’s entire library of eleven software titles.
Several Korean arcade games were added this month, including a Solitaire card game from F2 System that uses a dedicated control panel and features some rather disturbing pre-rendered 3D animations. A few Merit games were added as well. Other improvements include more emulated NuBus and PDS cards for Macs, Cumana DFS disk image support for the Acorn Electron, and support for an MSX Flash cartridge.
That’s all we’ve got time to highlight here, but of course there’s much more. You can read about everything that was updated this month in the whatsnew.txt file. Source code and 64-bit Windows binary packages are available from the download page.

The NMK coinop games update was a good update itself.

For those unaware, a video example of features the Cz 101 keyboard offers.

A good clip of the Casio Cz-101 / Cz-1000 in action with
sysex usage being shown in Espen Kraft’s useful tutorial vid clips.

Good work there with this system now working.
With audio currently not happening yet, I can still picture some disappointments coming from some of the gals that enjoyed this system way back then. Something similar to Seinfeld ‘No Bette Middler!?’ moment….
NO BETT MIDDLER!?!? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4bRWVLEHZpk
…..where they leave in disgust from the play Rochelle Rochelle only to cross NYC street and bump into crazy Joe Davolla and make fun of Joe being dressed as Il Palliacci the Clown while the gals were on their way to see opera of Il’ Palliacci Joe gets mad and chases the gals while the gals try to get into the theater to avoid Joe.
Ticket taker: “ You ladies complain of no audio from Casio Loopy and then angrily leave the theater because Bette Middler won’t be performing in Rochelle Rochelle and then you gals piss off a guy dressed as the Il Paliachi clown character and now that crazy clown is chasing after you!? Oh that’s rich! Now step aside and let those with tickets get by.”
Seinfeld clip..Oh that’s rich!

Clanked this NBA field goal attempt clunker, unfunny bit off to the side of the basket rim now that NBA 2023-2024 season is underway.  Let’s go Phoenix Suns.
