Download MEKA 0.68

It is often said that, as beautiful as today’s graphics are, the really good games are those of the early days. For those nostalgic for those good old Sega consoles, the emulator MEKA was built. The software allows you to play games released on the following machines:

• Sega Game 1000 (SG-1000)
• Sega Computer 3000 (SC-3000)
• Sega Super Control Station (SF-7000)
• Sega Mark III (+FM Unit)
• Sega Master System (SMS)
• Sega Game Gear (GG)
• ColecoVision (COLECO)
• Othello Multivision (OMV)

[break]A new version of MEKA has been released, which a lot contains changes. The creator summarizes his work in this release, which is numbered 0.68, as follows:[/break]Meka 0.68 is now available. This is a small update to the end-user, but a big one to my never-ending sorting job. The MEKA.NAM database system was rewritten to support both old and a new, improved format.

I also improved the file browser with new icons to depicts BIOS images, homebrew software, unofficial hacks, translations and prototypes. Of course, those icons depends on the database information and it is still missing some of the less common ROM entries. I fixed the “Load names” feature to be faster, added SMS-mode Game Gear games autodetection (to handle Master System mode games with a .gg extension), added emulation for some VDP 315-5124 quirks that may matters to developpers, and added new information to the TECH.TXT file regarding how to build adapters to connect SMS joypads to your computer.[break]There are currently two versions of the emulator available, one for Windows, one for DOS. A version for Linux will probably follow.
