Download MAME 0.119

Yesterday version 0.119 of MAME was released. MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator and this program is able to emulate a large amount of old arcade games and consoles. In addition to the ‘regular’ version, there is, as usual, also a version optimized for the Pentium Pro processor, because this CPU is good enough to run the arcade games and is therefore popular among MAME users. The changelog of this release shows the following changes:

MAMETesters Bugs Fixed

• vr0118u6yel

Source Changes

• Improved graphics and cleaned up driver for srmp6.
• Fixed bug in model 2 polygon clipping.
• Fixed input port so that shadfrcj doesn’t skip straight to the end sequence.
• Fixed recent changes to the MB86233 core that broke Virtua Racing.
• Added intelligence around the UPDATE_HAS_NOT_CHANGED flag, which is returned from VIDEO_UPDATE. If all screens in the game return UPDATE_HAS_NOT_CHANGED, then that frame is effectively skipped (up to 3 frames in a row) in terms of throttling. This allows games that render every other frame to not throttle during their “off frames”. Updated the midvunit driver to return UPDATE_HAS_NOT_CHANGED. You should see an improvement in framerate with throttling enabled for these games. Note that this only kicks in if frameskip is set to 0.

New clones added

• Turpin (bootleg on Scramble hardware)
• Operation Wolf (World, set 2)
• Star Force (encrypted, bootleg)
• Galaxies (bootleg)
• Crazy Kong (bootleg on Galaxian hardware, set 2)
• Vandyke (bootleg with PIC16c57)
