The romfiles for MAME 079u2 and u3 roms have been released (MAME 079u3 are supposed to be kept private for awhile but I have my contacts and I don't give a f&^k about hoarding roms)

MAME 79u2 includes some NeoGeo games that have been redumped because the original releases were found to be incorrect.

You can download them from:-

MAME 079u2 (This link will take you to a website where you can download the roms)

MAME 079u3

Note:- To Download The MAME 079u3 Roms You Must Right Mouse Click On The Link And Select Save Target As

I hope you all enjoy

*EDIT* I'm posting this here and in the MAME forum because some members of this forum and guests might not visit the MAME forum which is here.

MESS is a multi console emulator for various systems. Only the DOS & Windows binaries are updated so far.

New System Drivers Supported:

- [MSX2] Sony HB-F700P (Sean Young)

- [MSX2] NMS 8245 and NMS 8255 (Sean Young)

- [MSX] National FS-4000 (Sean Young)

- [MSX] Sony HB-75P (Sean Young)

System Driver Changes:

- [APPLE2] Fixed a regression in caching disk data that would cause data to be lost when switching disks, or for switching disks to not be acknowledged. [Nate Woods]

- [MSX] Rewrote memory emulation.

* Adds support for subslots

* Proper memory layout for the MSX2 drivers, with the diskrom in a subslot of slot 3.

* Adds support for Konami's Sound Cartridge (128kb)

* Adds support for Korean 90-in-1

* Adds support for Kanji ROM

If no cartridges are supplied, it sets the Sound Cartridge in slot 1 and the FM-PAC in slot 2. The Snatcher, SD-Snatcher and the Konami Game Collections now work. Note that Sound Cartridge also behaves as a normal SCC.

With one cartridge supplied the FM-PAC is still set in slot 2 so R-Type and other ROM cartridges can still use it. [sean Young]

- [sUPERBRD] Updated driver with a better BIOS set and keyboard layout and added sound. [Claudio Nieder]

User Interface Changes:

- [Windows GUI] Minor bug fixes regarding software listing and CRC calculations with respect to clone and compatible drivers. [Nate Woods]

Source Changes:

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

- The core is based on MAME 0.79. This incorporates all features of the update to this core. [MAME team]

- As a consequence of the MAME 0.79 core, which has massive changes to the memory system, there is a greater likelyhood of regressions in this MESS release (as with MAME.)

- Introduced automated messtest testing facility, in order to prevent regressions in the future. [Nate Woods]

- Internal error reporting enhancements for image loading; still some work to do. [Nate Woods]

Virtuanes is a very easy to use NES (nintendo entertainment system) emulator, currently it runs under windows.

* Add a correspondence pattern to simple virus checkers.

* A list view update method of Cheat support is changed.

* Correct IRQ of MMC3. (Rockman 3)

* Correct a triangle wave, now certain sprites resemble the original better

This release is mainly a bugfix, you can get this emulator from here

"What's that...another release? Yes...little coding marathon to include a feature some devs requested and might become very very useful with the next MAME release (you'll see )

 

ClrMamePro 3.23. Introducing some deep ROM checksum analysis which is able to fix some 'bad' checksums which are based on effects like padding, blockswaps, byteorder changes, etc..."

You can grab it from ClrMamePro 3.23 (zip) (952 kbyte) or ClrMamePro 3.23 (exe) (1013 kbyte)
