21st June 2005: Ville Linde - I dug up Supermodel after over a year and ran some test runs with Sega Rally 2. This helped me to find a small bug in the MPC106 emulation. Fixing that small problem had some very nice results. Now both Sega Rally 2 and Star Wars Trilogy are working in MAME!

Of course, now what you need is the latest quad-core Intel processor with liquid nitrogen cooling rig so you can overclock it to 20Ghz and get 40 FPS or so in swtrilgy, but it'll be working when you do that.  (Or on the computers five years from now).

So what's the secret? I've got the version of MAME just prior to this release, and I can't get it to work. I have a dual 3.2Ghz processor, and it stutters with no sound when I run it.

You just quoted the secret!

So why do they claim that it works then?

Because technically it does. It's being emulated 100% correctly, it just demands A LOT of resources to do so.

Aurich:

.107 was a must have personally because I use the new PNG bezel overlays to make custom bezels for the letterboxing I get with the handful of must-have horizontal games on my vertical monitor.

Then again I'm constantly trying to reduce the number of ROMS on my cab, so worrying about what's up to date isn't really a concern for me. I'm at 115 and working towards 100.
