MAME 0.264
MAME 0.264 is ready right on time! Before we get to emulation improvements, there are some changes to the debugger that may affect you. The debugger’s printf and logerror commands now support more formatting conversions and options, including NUL-terminated strings from emulated memory, hexadecimal numbers with lowercase digits, and left-aligned fields. This may change the behaviour of some debugger scripts. In other general changes, MAME now supports saving compact cassette images in compressed FLAC format, so you can save some disk space.
Thanks to new contributor Enzo Lombardi, Dribbling now has emulated sound! This classic twin-stick top-down football game was once a common sight in Italy’s numerous arcades. Sound effects make for a much more authentic experience. Robin Sergeant, another relative newcomer to MAME development, has been putting in a lot of work to improve the state of the Research Machines RM-380Z family, and it’s really coming together. This release adds sound, graphics, 8" disk drives, and more.
The very rare arcade game Vampire from Entertainment Enterprises has finally been dumped and emulated. A rare sight in ’80s arcades, it wasn’t known for being a great game. In a way, this makes it more interesting, as we’re more often reminded of successful games and more likely to forget the failures.
If you’re feeling adventurous, you can use the newly emulated Visual Technology XDS-19P as a graphical terminal for a modern Linux system running X11 applications. It requires setting up BootP and TFTP servers, as well as configuring the host system so it can connect, so be prepared for a challenge if you decide to try it out.
Of course, there’s much more, including working controls for Tomy Plarail and Tomica TV games, fixes for audio CD playback, and dumps of the few remaining EC series Japanese e-kara cartridges. You can read all about it in the whatsnew.txt file, or get the source code and 64-bit Windows binary packages from the download page.

I'm having first time with MAME executable with Windows Defender (Windows 10).
It says includes Trojan:Win32/Phonzy.B!ml
Did anyone see same warning on this version. ?

I've recently seen reports of false positives about this so-called "virus" that somehow lives in non-executable text files.
Microsoft need to fix the bugs with Windows Defender.

Another protection program should be used instead.

Vampire got added into MAME as likable as Brady Bunch ‘s unwanted jinxy bad luck tv character cousin Oliver in the tv show’s final season.  *kidding*

Cousin Oliver - Support Robbie Rist of The Brady Bunch on MeTV - Oliver Preservation Association

The actual OPA is is Sega’s Opa-Opa

Anyway, my thanks to Klaus, dox, Haze and hap for striving to get Vampire working and playable in MAME. Good to have game supported after all the earlier soap opera emu drama episode is in the past.
And also some good progress taking place with h8 family chips emulation being improved where Yamaha emulation is also progressing.
