MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. When used in conjunction with images of the original arcade game's ROM and disk data, MAME attempts to reproduce that game as faithfully as possible on a more modern general-purpose computer. MAME can currently emulate several thousand different classic arcade video games from the late 1970s through the modern era.
What's news in MAME:

Yabause 0.9.15 released!
Posted by azoreseuropa @ 09:14 PM CET | Comments: 0 | Site
|
Yabause is a Sega Saturn emulator under GNU GPL. It currently runs on FreeBSD, GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, Windows and Dreamcast.
Yabause support booting games using Saturn cds or iso files.
Following our strict release schedule (…), here’s a new Yabause version.
This new version includes so many new stuff, I cannot list them all.
(If you really want the full list, it’s on our repository)
Arguably, the most notable features of this release are:
– Low-level CD Block emulation
– CloneCD file format support
– High resolution for the software renderer
We also included code from other great projects:
– Musashi 68K core (code by Karl Stenerud)
– SSF sound format playing (code by R. Belmont, Richard Bannister, Neil Corlett)
As many of you should already be aware, Yabause was forked into a new project,
uoYabause, by devmiyax. We included some of his fixes back into Yabause.
Due to lack of maintainer, this release will be the last to include a gtk port.
Since our last release, we also improved our tools:
– Automated builds for linux, mac and windows
– Development builds pushed after each commit
– Translations on Transifex
– Compatibility reports on our wiki

Project64 v2.3 released!
Posted by azoreseuropa @ 12:55 AM CET | Comments: 2 | Site
|
Project 64 is a proprietary Nintendo 64 emulator for Windows. It employs a plug-in system that allows third-party software developers to create their own implementation of a specified component. Project64 allows the user to play Nintendo 64 games on a computer by reading ROM images, either dumped from the read-only memory of a Nintendo 64 cartridge or created directly on the computer as homebrew. Project64 started as an exercise by Jabo and zilmar in an attempt to see if they were capable of programming a Nintendo 64 emulator. It's open source now.
Project64 v2.3 Changelog:
|
lots of changes, nearly 1000 commits since 2.2. We have the offical release of 2.3. Also have the first public beta of project64 for android, it is still a beta I am sure there is lots of things needed to make it better, but things are playable now.

BlastEm v0.4.1 released!
Posted by azoreseuropa @ 09:52 PM CET | Comments: 0 | Site
|
BlastEm has the goal of being an extremely accurate Genesis emulator while still running on relatively modest hardware by using advanced techniques. Currently it meets neither my accuracy nor performance goals, but those goals are pretty high. Speed and accuracy should be sufficient for most purposes. It runs at full speed on an old first generation Intel Atom and can run Sonic 2 at around 600 fps on a Haswell desktop using a single core. To my knowledge, it is the only emulator besides Genesis Plus GX that can properly display the "TITAN 512C FOREVER" portion of Titan's Overdrive demo, and the only emulator besides Exodus that passes all 122 of the tests in Nemesis' VDP FIFO Testing ROM and can properly display "Direct Color DMA" demos.
BlastEm Features
* savestates
* integrated debugger
* GDB remote debugging
* joystick/gamepad support
* Mega/Sega Mouse support
* save RAM and EEPROM support
* Sonic & Knuckles lock-on
* turbo and slow modes
* configurable low pass filter
* single pass GLSL shaders (though there are no interesting ones presently)
BlastEm v0.4.1 changelog:
|
New Features
* Basic support for the Saturn Keyboard adapter peripheral
* You can now navigate up to a drive selection on Windows
* Added support for binding more "special" keys
Bugfixes
* It's now possible to navigate to the root directory on Unix-like systems
* Fixed a bug in movep.l
* Fixed a crash bug in the memory management code
* Fixed a bug in the header parsing code, that caused a crash when the "International Name" field was empty
* Fixed some minor graphical corruption in Sonic 2 split-screen caused by a bug in vflip combined with interlace mode
* Corrected the PC value pushed onto the stack for line A emulator and line F emulator traps
* Fixed a bug in ensure_dir_exists that would cause it to fail to create directories in some cases when mixed path separators were used
* Fixed a bug that would result in a buffer overflow when starting a game with a long title from the menu
Accuracy
* All Z80 instructions now implemented
* Z80 half-carry flag is now fully implemented
* Implemented undocumented Z80 flag bits
* R register is now incremented appropriately
* Redundant opcode prefixes are now handled properly
* Z80 core now passes ZEXALL!
Other Changes
* Added Buck Rogers to the ROM DB
* Added Wonder Boy in Monster World to the ROM DB (for real this time)
* Added Evander 'Real Deal' Holyfield's Boxing to the ROM DB
* Slightly better handling of directory read errors
* Added "Special Thanks" to About menu
* Use local app data folder for saves and config files on Windows rather than Unix-style locations
