MAME 0.266

MAME 0.266

MAME 0.266 is ready just in time for the end of May. The first thing you’ll notice is that Taito F3 video emulation has been reimplemented, fixing numerous long-standing graphical issues. The dynamic range compression used by several Yamaha synthesisers seems to finally be understood, fixing audible distortion. Speaking of sound, a previously missing Game Boy Advance sound channel is now emulated.

Several additional members of Nokia’s MikroMikko 1 line of 8-bit business computers from the 1980s are now supported. In PC emulation, S3 ViRGE video accelerator emulation has been simplified and improved. A couple more cartridge types have been added for MSX home computers.

This release also adds plenty of software list items and arcade bootlegs. Lots of code has been cleaned up and modernised, with various bugs fixed along the way. We’ve also added a workaround for the regression in clang 18 that was causing build failures.

As always, you can read about all the changes in this release in the whatsnew.txt file, or get the source code and 64-bit Windows binary packages from the download page.

That and Windyfairy’s Konami fixes. Older generation gamers should be happy campers since those were their games in arcades back in the days.

Maybe more MU hardware model versions working eventually, but darn good start for time being.


The preliminary Yamaha QS 300 support is probably getting some attention from the anxious folks pressing their noses against the store glass window chanting “Open. Open. Open….” just like Mervyn’s store tv commercials from 1980s and 1990s.
