MAME 0.220 Released!
« on: April 06, 2020, 08:46:35 am »
MAME 0.220

In a world of uncertainty, perhaps you can derive a little comfort from MAME 0.220, our delayed release for the March development cycle.  This month has seen fixes for some old bugs in Final Star Force, Ribbit!  and Night Slashers, emulation of Crab Grab (the other Game & Watch title with a colour overlay), the acquisition of Solite Spirits (an early version of what became 1945k III), and preliminary work on the Naruto TV game running on the XaviX 2 platform.  There are some big software list updates this month, including a lot of Apple II software aimed at North Dakota schools, and the latest VGM music packs.  Speaking of which, the VGM player can now show pretty visualisations while you listen.

Newly supported peripherals include the Baby Blue II CPU Plus card for PC compatibles, serial and CP/M modules for the HP 85 and HP 86, more sound and disk expansions for the TI-99 family, the CoCo PSG cartridge, and a variety of 8-bit Acorn expansions.  We’ve added ROM dumps for a lot of synthesisers in this release, and while most of them are not working yet, they’re there to tinker with if you’re interested.

As always, you can get the source and 64-bit Windows binary packages from the download page.

Scope Creep devoured MAME some years back.

I'm not part of the mamedev team, but I think one of the answers they'd give is they're going for accuracy over performance, which is different than many other emulators. They're also covering MANY machines nobody else has ever looked at. The Game & Watch games are one example that I've benefited from. MAME is the only emulator for those machines, running the original ROMS, that I know of. The few other similar things out there are just simulations or recreations.
