PinMAME, PinMAMEW, and Visual PinMAME v1.50

posted in Emulator Release by spacetiger on Nov 2nd, 2004

There was another MAME release today, but it wasn't in any way related to v0.88u2. In fact, it's built on the v0.76 source code. PinMAME is a project that attempts to emulate the hardware on virtually every solid state pinball machine in existence. The team has taken on some new members dredged up an old one from retirement in order to bring you this release. One of the most notable changes is the addition Stern sound emulation. Here are the other changes:
