MAME v0.75

posted in Emulator Release by narvick on Oct 12th, 2003

The grandaddy of emulators, MAME, has been updated by the MAME team today! This has been dubbed a "big fix" release. Only the Windows version is available for now. For those new to emulation, this is probably the most popular emulator in existence and emulates slews of arcade games. Here's a summarized version of what's new:

General Source Changes

TESTDRIVERS still enabled (see note for v0.74u2)
Fixed bug in the time accounting for V60 which was causing Outrunners to run with flickering sprites and slow music
Fixed another V60 bug introduced in v0.74u2 which broke the V70 games (and further broke Outrunners)
Fixed some bugs introduced with the timer system changes awhile back. Hopefully this is the last of them... Fixes Exterminator and the Atari polygon games. Hopefully doesn't break anything in the process
Fixed Dorachan Orientation
Various bug fixes
Overhauled the Canyon Bomber driver with a number of minor fixes like correct RAM size and VBLANK duration
Improved Super Chase sample loading
Replaced instances of "inline", "static inline", and "static__inline" with "INLINE". This fixes some build problems with XMAME and makes things more consistent
Corrected CPU speeds, etc in snowbros.c
Reversed inptport.c changes to v0.74u1 as the version in v0.74u2 wasn't correctly merged, these will need resubmitting
Some Namcos22 improvements
