Yesterday a new version of MAME was released with version number 0.109 and nickname ‘Die Hard.. with sound’. MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator and this program is able to emulate a large amount of old arcade games and consoles. Version 0.109 has support for 6279 ROM sets, which is 35 more than the previous version, of a whopping 3382 unique games. The changelog for this release shows the following changes:

MAME Testers Bugs Fixed

• pitfight0106u3gra
• turbofrc37b1gre

Source Changes

• More merit, trivia, and findout improvements:
  • added external coin counters and coin lockouts
  • fixed lamps in upright and cocktail modes
  • gettrivia.c: fixed sound in selection and clone
  • located ticket out bit in trivia games and commented it in both drivers.
  • fixed merge collision from u5
• Input port cleanup and additional comments in the CPS1 driver.
• Fixed ES5503 behavior for voice volumes > 127 (cures missing sounds/music notes in several Apple IIgs demos and games).
• Made MSC1937 operation more accurately match datasheet and wiring diagram. Added indexed getters to the output system to match the newly introduced setters.
• Changed input port calculations to go in two passes, to catch out-of-order conditions properly.
• Fixed priorities in the m62 driver, mainly affecting Lode Runner sequels.
• Fixed PNG code so that it doesn’t NULL terminate tEXt chunks.
• Changed disassembler override callbacks to match new disassembler syntax.
• Changed artwork loading to be on-demand rather than all up-front. Also added a message during artwork resizing/loading so it’s more clear what is going on.
• Added new osd function osd_break_into_debugger() which can be hooked to cause a break into the OSD’s debugger when an assertion or fatal error occurs. Hooked it up on Windows to do just that.
• Normalized exit codes from mame.exe. The core-specific ones are defined in mame.h. The Windows build will also return code 100 on an unhandled exception now.

New clones added

• Astro Combat (older, PZ)
• Funky Bee (bootleg, harder)
