0.104u8

---------

 

IMPORTANT CHANGE FOR OSD DEVELOPERS: osd_logerror is no longer used. Rather, for error logging you provide a handle to a mame_file in the options.logfile field. If you leave this set to NULL, no logging will be done.

Source Changes

------------------

Fixed hyhoo which was broken in the last round of changes. [Takahiro Nogi]

 

Added emulation of the Alpha 8201/8301 MCU, and connected it to champbbj, champbb2, talbot, shougi, shougi2, and exctsccr. [Tatsuyuki Satoh]

 

Added cpunum_set_clock_period(), a variation of cpunum_set_clock() that takes subseconds_t, providing better granularity. [Nathan Woods]

 

Fixed most of the remaining issues in Wink, though there is still some unemulated protection. [HIGHWAYMAN, Nicola Salmoria, Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

 

Added save state support to the galaga.c and segaybd.c based games. Improved the "out of context" error message to indicate the source of the problem. [Andre Hufschmidt]

Sea Hunter Penguin

The only thing more terrible than the name is the actual game..

 

..

 

I think it’s missing colour Proms, it runs on what is basically a copy of Dragon Punch hardware, and dates from 1995 ?!? Seriously, this is the worst thing I’ve ever emulated.

 

Thanks(??) to the Mame Italia Forum guys as is often the case.
