posted in Emulator Release by spacetiger on Jul 8th, 2004

The Windows version of MESS has been updated to version 0.84 to go along with the recent MAME release. Here are the changes:

New System Drivers Supported

Amstrad NC100, NC100a

System Driver Changes

A5200: Fixed a crash on start regression introduced in MESS 0.82
AMSTRAD: Refined video display and Z80 timings and changed default joystick input definitions
APPLE2: Fixed a bug in high RAM emulation and vblank emulation and enabled nibble disk images with the extension .DSK
CBM: Raised the delay at which quickloads load, so that quickloads can be loaded at startup
IBMAT: Fixed a regression that prevented AT 286 drivers from loading
ODYSSEY2: Cleaned up driver and fixed regression introduced in MESS 0.79
PC1512: Video fixes
TELMAC: Improved the accuracy of the cpu emulation and added some tmc2000t code
TI99,GENEVE] Fixed various bugs in HSGPL ROM6 support, enabled the IDE card for the Geneve and ti99/8 drivers, and added preliminary support for the SmartMedia part of the USB-SmartMedia card
ZX81: Tape loading added

User Interface Changes

Fixed the input device categorization feature so that it was accesible from the classic UI
Windows GUI: Refactored picker code to be more modular and used better in both MESS and MAME32 and fixed a sorting bug

Source Changes

The core is based on MAME 0.84
Windows: Specified the image base for messlib.dll, so MESS should startup slightly faster

I'm sure we can expect a *nix release within the next few days. You can get this for download at the MESS Emulators page.
