MAMEWorld Forums - News - Re: MAME 0.222

Props to those dealing with all of those numerous additions to the hash files and making images of the various entries. It looks exhausting after simply glancing at all those hash file list additions for this particular release....imagine all the typing involved to get those in order for the whatsnew file as well.

By the time one has read off all of the title entries for Apple II, SGI, and hyperscan_card while setting up MAME to run either the Silicon Graphics Inc Indy R4600 or Silicon Graphics Inc Indy R5000 system, the 'hours' involved of having to install the setups will pass by quickly.

Past users complaining about running MAME and along with initializing some DECO cassette title to begin playing will have never had it so easy.

My thanks too with the contributions. Good to see netlist updates still ongoing and also some updates to ibm5150.xml file

mw8080bw.cpp: Added netlist audio for 280zzzap. [Colin Howell]
ibm5150.xml: Added original dumps for Centipede and Ms. Pac-Man. [r09]

netlist: Improve static solver performance by 5%. [Couriersud]
Use a more condensed matrix format for go, gt and Id matrices.
In addition, optimize the static compilation code.

netlist: Performance improvement and refactoring. [Couriersud]
Kidniki now achieves up to 910% when run with static solvers and with
nltool. That is significant better than the 860% we have seen
previously.

This increase is driven by using a global memory pool in the solver
code.

In addition the following refactoring and code maintenance work is
included.
