>Yes, finally an update to unMAMEd, check it out!

Thanks for the update. There are a few updates for you and I'll send a message to you listing the updates of titles that can be removed.

btw: Good to know Atari Pong can eventually be removed. couriersud's code starting to make its rounds. July 22, 2012....the day the first non-cpu video game is fully emulated in MAME....whether at playable speed is another matter. ;-)

Pong now uses netlist.h. This implementation reproduces all gate timing and 555 related effects as described by Dr. H. Holden in his 2012 publication "ATARI PONG E CIRCUIT ANALYSIS & LAWN TENNIS". [Couriersud]

There are now two game entries:
a) pongf
This illustrates how a workaround has to be used in the absence of gate timing. The game uses a code based netlist.
b) pong
This uses gate timing at a resolution of approx. 140 MHz. The netlist itself is read from the rom region.

ROM_START( pong ) /* dummy to satisfy game entry*/
+ ROM_REGION( 0x10000, "maincpu", 0 ) /* enough for netlist */
+ ROM_LOAD( "pong.netlist", 0x00000, 10306, CRC(bb92b267) SHA1(0dd6b3209ac1335a97cfe159502d24556f531007) )
+ROM_END
+
+ROM_START( pongf ) /* dummy to satisfy game entry*/
ROM_REGION( 0x10000, "maincpu", ROMREGION_ERASE00 )
ROM_END

-GAME( 1972, pong, 0, pong, pong, 0, ROT0, "Atari", "Pong (Rev E)", GAME_IMPERFECT_COLORS | GAME_IMPERFECT_SOUND | GAME_NOT_WORKING )
+GAME( 1972, pong, 0, pong, pong, 0, ROT0, "Atari", "Pong (Rev E)", 0 )
