MFME is a mutliple system emulator that includes SYSTEM1, MPS1/2, SYSTEM80, SYS5, SCORPION1/2, MPU3/4, M1A/B, and IMPACT.

Although i haven't had too much time of late to work on any new techs as I have been concentrating mainly on rewriting the graphics core to improve performance (as well as fixing a few bugs of course). This has formed the basis of the "next generation" of MFME, version 3.

 

Instead of just loading the components up from the layout it now converts them to use the new component library and then renders them to the screen. This results in much more efficient performance and a number of other benefits.

 

This release is primarily to see if the new components work reasonably well on different spec PC's, feedback appreciated!

 

Major improvements stemming from this include

=============================================

 

No lamp slowdowns during Jackpot sequences etc, lamp drawing speed is significantly increased.

Resizing of the layout to any size you wish "on the fly"- no more not being able to play a 1280 layout on a 1024x768 screen

 

Absent Friends

=================

 

You will find a few things missing this time around. Most noticably the design tools. This release is just intended to be a "player" only release. So you will need to continue to use MFME 2 for designing layouts and configurations. Adding design tools to

use the new component format is a significant amount of work, and is on the back burner for the time being.

 

Other Improvements

==================

 

Many of the bugs reported in 2.0 have been fixed

BWB CHR Encryption has now been cracked

Speed is now set automatically it may be a tad too fast on some platforms

Draggable Reels

The Ability to switch off the About Box at startup

Animated lamp buttons that move when pressed or shortcut pressed, although this exposes some DX design features on some layouts

New format game manager with animated screen shot window and game platform filtering

SEC meter support, though no previously released games support it

 

Known Bugs/Features

===================

 

Horizontal reels are not supported in this release

Some layouts will suffer from lamp "distortion" when reduced in size.

Some layouts might have the reel offsets incorrect.

Components that are placed outside the visible area of the screen will be deleted, this means some shortcuts might no longer function.

ACE stills suffers from coin in restarts

Auto throttling is currently fixed, so no speed adjustment is possible

Thanks to Emulation9 for the news!

bSNES is a Super Nintendo Emulator that was not derived from any existing emulator source code, such as snes9x. It was written from scratch by Byuu.

I'm pretty sure I've improved NMI / IRQ timing even more since the last update, but I really don't remember anymore... I also cleaned up a few parts of the code.

 

    I also did a lot of work on the HDMA code. Now HDMA init and per-scanline HDMA transfers have (mostly) correct hardware timing. I even went so far as to emulate the differences between CPUv1 and CPUv2 HDMA init timing. I then went ahead and improved the actual HDMA transfer process itself, and along with some help from anomie, I was able to fix the weird bug in SFA2's status bar, and get Energy Breaker looking a lot better than it was. It's not perfect though, EB flickers really badly when text windows are onscreen, and the map is still beyond screwed. There's an issue with Charlie's stage in SFA2 as well. Little by little...

Source Changes

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

Fixed time stamp counter in the Pentium core. [Ville Linde]

 

Fixed Z80 behavior on cold versus warm reset. [Frank Palazzolo]

 

Fixed a number of games that were broken due to the recent memory system

changes. There are still more problems to fix; continue reporting them.

[Aaron Giles]

 

Added support for logical mapping to the CPU interfaces and debugger. CPUs

that have an MMU now need to support several new interface bits, including

a logical address mask and page size for each address space, as well as a

new translate function. There is also a new disassembler interface that

should be used going forward, which will make it much simpler to keep the

disassemblers standalone and not dependent on MAME functions for opcode

accesses. Converted the i386 core to use the new interfaces. [Aaron Giles]

 

Added MMU support to the non-drc MIPS3 emulator. Converted the Killer

Instinct, Seattle, Vegas, and Hyper Neo-Geo 64 drivers to a proper physical

memory layout. Disabled the drc MIPS3 core until MMU support is added there

as well. [Aaron Giles]

 

Added save state support to the S2650 CPU. [Aaron Giles]

 

Got rid of gross banking hack in the T11 core. Updated Atari System 2 drivers

to accommodate the lack of the hack. [Aaron Giles]

 

Imported a number of memory handler conversion helpers from MESS, placed

them in memconv.h. [Aaron Giles]

 

Cleaned up i386 disassembler to produce Intel-standard output. [Aaron Giles]

 

 

 

New clones added
