MAME 0.137
13/03/2010 15:44
It’s time for another official release, the
first of 2010 actually. This one brings several
changes with it, making it essential to follow the
instructions included into the ‘read me’
file. Most of you won’t face a problem, but for
those of you that are used to compile yourselves the
next MAME release you should be downloading now the
new tools from here.
Another significant issue is that for those of you running win9x (you aren’t; I know) you will be needing the infamous unicows.dll file in order to run MAME 0.137.
Well; that seems to cover it all up until further notice. Enjoy!

MAME 0.136

One day before the year ends our favorite team
decided that we needed yet another official MAME
release. Yes; MAME 0.136 is here for you to enjoy!
Download the latest command line from
here, and the MAMEUI
here, maintained by John
Hardy IV in his new site. Check it out; it’s
updated with the 64bit and 32bit versions.
MAME 0.135 for OSX
28/11/2009 11:39
As an AppleFanBoy I am, I definitely wanted a native
port for my OS. Ofcourse I could run MAME on Bootcamp
or even parallels, but you know the feeling...
it’s like something is not OK. So, surfing
around the net I managed to get myself a proper build
for 0.135 that works! My previous one was 0.124 so
it’s a quantum leap! The man behind it is Zuki
Gotlieb and you can get it from here.
MAME 0.135
02/11/2009 16:50
Happy November everyone! Things went slowly on my
side for the last couple of weeks; there were some
personal things that needed desperately to be sorted
out. Imagine that I wasn’t able to test all the
new drivers from 0.134 yet; and here we go with
another fresh release: MAME 0.135 is here and ready
to be explored!
Oh well... I think I can handle both releases anyway; so I won’t complain any more! On with the juicy details! Stuff that matters, slowly but surely click here!

It seems that all this time I had my computer lying
in the side and all I was able to do is fooling
around with friends and enjoying the seaside and my
vacation time. Sad as it sounds; all things come to
an end (especially the good ones)...
The nice part is that everyone is back so after 5 intermediate updates the mamedev guys have released a new official MAME release.
Grab it from the Latest Release page and have fun!

MAME 0.133
23/07/2009 22:39
And we have a new official release just in time for
my vacation time. After five ‘u’ releases
it’s time for us to get our hands into the real
thing. I recently have been very busy at work and it
will certainly be a nice pre-vacation present. So...
as usual; download the latest command line from

Happy vacations everyone!

MAME 0.132 u3 & u4
10/07/2009 17:26
The most interesting and intriguing moment of u4 lies
under the ‘what’s new’ read me file
under the:
New games marked as GAME_NOT_WORKING
------------------------------------
Pirati [Tomasz Slanina]
Johnny Nero Action Hero [R. Belmont, The Dumping Union]
Poly-Net Warriors [Uki]
Sunset Riders (bootleg of Megadrive version)
[Gatinho, Smitdogg, Dumping Union, David Haywood]
The House of the Dead III [GDX-0001] [MAME Italia]
Jockey Club II (2 sets) [David Haywood]
Quake Arcade Tournament [Siftware]
Turret Tower [Siftware]
Yup! You’ve read that right. Quake Arcade Tournament is WIP now on MAME. There are several other things that will keep you busy if you decide building this intermediate version, like better AGA implementation for Amiga A1200 model (we are getting closer to a perfect emulation) and other stuff.
You can find files and info over here.

MAME 0.132 u1 & u2
28/06/2009 13:15
Well, I am back from Florina; where we finally met
with Spyros (grip) at Prespa. I haven’t got the
time to be in Thessaloniki this time to meet with
George Anastasiadis but I guess this can be arranged
in another journey. In the mean time we have u1 and
u2 update for 0.132. You can find files and info over
here. Enjoy!
MAME 0.132
09/06/2009 21:01
Chances are that you have downloaded this already and
searching for perfect sets by now; but this is an
emulation-news related site and nothing more
remember? (Google do you read this?)
Anyway. Download the latest command line from here, and the ui MAME32 here. Please use cautiously; you might get infected by some retroarcademania virus!

Two more u's
21/05/2009 15:07
Within the last couple of weeks we had two more
updates; the u1 has an initial basic renderer for
Naomi hardware (wow!) while the second one keeps up
the pace towards the right direction and needs your
attention in order to get tested. So we now have
reached MAME 0.131u2. Files and info over
here.
MAME 0.131
23/04/2009 22:32
Did you expect it sooner? Well, I certainly
didn’t; but still, here it is. The previously
announced CHD changes have now been confirmed and
considered official. You don’t have to do
anything though if you don’t have a problem
with ‘bad rom’ each time you run a CHD
game. Everything will be OK anyway. Download the
latest command line here, and MAME32
here.
One more u to go!
18/04/2009 00:25
This is a huge update for all you MAME fans out
there; since this is the last intermediate source
update to the official 0.131, that comes right after
it. So to keep you posted; u2, u3 and u4 have been
released so far. Please bear in mind you need to
update those CHD files; or you will have to
re-download everything from scratch. Files and info
over here...
MAME 0.130u1
24/03/2009 23:06
Oops! Seems that with this release we will have to
re-download every single CHD since the old ones are
invalid...!
No no don’t faint on me now!!!!
Hehe, thank God, not really. But the truth is that CHD source part has been altered a bit so there are some side effects. The first one is that all ‘diff’ files are now ‘invalid’. Second; ALL your CHDs must be updated via the command:
chdman -update [chdfile] [newchdfile]
Don’t be afraid; it will only take about 2 days time and a spare HDD to do so and keep the old files intact and safe in place... or you can always wait until this is final... Files and info over here...

MAME 0.130
12/03/2009 23:49
Yup; Here it is! It’s probably the most
different version from all we have ever tried so far
and I can tell you; I definitely have to go deep into
this and test all my favorite games so that I certify
that they’re all singing and all dancing too.
Talk is cheap so let’s head for the binaries,
shall we?? Download the latest command line
here, and MAME32
here.
MAME 0.129 u5
28/02/2009 13:58
I can tell you this: MAME 0.130 will be a totally
different program compared to v. 0.129. Mainly the
device assignment to all sound modules plus a ton of
changes that came with it, makes this a safe
prediction. In any case for all of you who have the
time checking out the intermediate releases you
should test all the games you care about and see if
the play their sound right and when you do that, test
some more with those which you don’t care about
so much and report if you find anything funny...
Files and info over here...
MAME 0.129 u4
19/02/2009 17:35
Hello? Can you hear me? *static noise* Hello?... No
kidding, this update changes pretty much everything
we knew about MAME sound. Now Sound Chips are
configured as devices. Several bugs are expected so
you should test and report as usual to MAMETesters.
Files and more info -as always- over here...
MAME 0.129 u1-u3
01/02/2009 00:21
Just like expected, it took a little longer for me to
achieve completeness on 0.129. Those damn LD-CHDs
played their nasty part of course, but hey, why on
earth did I pay that 24Mbit DSL for...? Anyway; MAME
dev team has 3 more updates available for all you
compiler-geeks out there and they are waiting HOT
over here for you to get and
compile.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
MAME 0.129
05/01/2009 15:02
It’s finally here! After a long wait of two and
a half months, the official release of MAME is here.
There’s a huge ‘what’s new’
file describing all the changes that took place all
these months which you can read over here, where you can
download the latest command line official build
too. If you prefer the MAME32 flavor
here is your place. Enjoy!

MAME 0.128 u5-u7
23/12/2008 19:19
MAME dev team has made some significant changes the
last couple of weeks. I don’t know if we will
have an official release before New Year’s Eve,
but we can certainly hope so! While waiting; 3 more
updates are waiting over here for you to get and
compile.
MAME 0.128u4 and other stuff...
28/11/2008 12:01
I have been away all this time and it wasn’t
for a good reason. All in all, everything went
*kinda* back to normal now and life begins rolling
again, the good, old ordinary way. You know, you
never appreciate how nice it is for life being
‘normal’ until you face an abnormality.
Anyway; there are some things that won’t easily change (thank God) like MAME updates! Version 0.128u4 is out and ready to be explored while we wait for the official 0.129 release (I might make a hard guess and predict this during Christmas time).
My other news is that I have built a new machine. It’s a Quad Core intel @ 2.4GHz overclocked to 3.00GHz with 4 Gb of OCZ ram. I primary use this for gaming on my 42” plasma screen and for watching movies...
Did I mention that it runs OSX?

the meanwhile 3 more updates are lying over
here for you to get and
compile.
MAME 0.127u4
22/09/2008 16:42
Yet another release brings us closer to the official
0.128 release. More additions, more HDD space! Last
week I decided to treat myself to a brand new 500Gb
external USB2 HDD from Lacie (just in case)...

MAME 0.127u1-u3
17/09/2008 20:32
I want to apologize about the lack of updates lately.
Our previous server had many problems and our only
option was to move on another machine. So, after a
server change we are back in action. There has been
plenty of progress regarding MAME development now
reaching version 0.127u3. One of the things you
should be looking at nowadays is the HDD prices since
you'll be needing one pretty soon...
Hint: the laserdisk support on MAME.

MAME 0.126u3 and u4

Plenty of time to spare this time of year. I still
have 10 days to chill out, swimming etc. Hope you are
doing the same somewhere around the globe... On the
emulation part now: Definitely not the time to
compile if you ask me. Huge changes on the u3 update
made many games missing sound, while a few others
crash. The later has been fixed on u4 but the
cheating system is not yet fully operational. All you
have to do is wait for a couple of updates so that
everything is normal again. If you insist updating
and testing after all... Files and more info over

Vacation (at last!) plus 0.126 u2
30/07/2008 16:52
Ok, time has come for me to leave my worries behind
and focus on important stuff (aka: my 29" cabinet
restoration, swimming, cycling, playing PSP with my
son etc) :-P
On the 1st part, chances are that it will be a bitch to achieve, since the only available machine so far to become an engine seems to be a G4 Quicksilver Mac running OSX 10.4 and OSX-Mame. I'll let you know when I have something new on this; my present worries focus on the CRT part. It's a 10 year old machine and some sort of service is required (mainly on the tube pins which corrosion is now present and that makes the CRT to behave erroneously). Hopefully I'll manage to make it as good as new again.
On the MAME part we have a u2 out on the way to the official 0.127. Files and more news over here. Enjoy!

24/07/2008 15:56
MAME 0.126u1 and (just today) MAME 0.126u2 is out in
the wild and all the cheaters out there (my big fat
face included) should be happy considering that up to
final 0.127 everything will be up and working
perfectly. More changes have to do with the debugger
system (yes, not perfect just yet) and LOTS of
bug-fixes. All you need to do is click over
here to read more and
enjoy.
MAME 0.126
08/07/2008 21:54
Yes, this is a fact! We have an official release.
MAME reaches version 0.126 after 9 intermediate
updates since version 0.125. Copy - Paste from the
devsite:

[...]
There are several big changes come along with this release that you should be aware of:
- The new universal recompiler engine is now live and running. Both the MIPS3 and PowerPC CPU cores have been ported over to it. Most games should be working about as well as they did before, and should be at full speed on both 32-bit and 64-bit Intel processors.
- The MAME debugger is now included in all builds; just add the -debug option and you can use it from any 0.126 or later binary. This means the focus of the “debug build” is now to enable assertions and to make it easier to debug the MAME code itself.
- The cheat engine is currently undergoing some major renovations. It is largely functional but still has some rough edges. If there are specific things wrong with it, please report the bugs over at MAMETesters, so that they get fixed during the 0.127 development cycle.

were 4 intermediate updates and no official release.
I'm hoping that there will be an OSX official version
sometime soon too, even though I guess that won't be
the 0.124 but the 0.123 one. All you Mac-fans keep

record, the guy behind it is called Dave Dribin and he managed
to port successfully MAME to the OSX platform and
more specifically to the IntelMacs. So. If you're

OK, this should be heard as 'very promising' feature.
This sub-version incorporates "...and a number of
multithreading changes that enable the 3dfx Voodoo
emulation to take advantage of multiple CPUs...". I
don't know about you, but as an ol' fart I can assure
you that I still have an original Voodoo 3dfx lying
around here in a box somewhere. Taking in account the

This version is reported as very important for Sega

According to the mamedev team this should
be a fine release to make your test reports

MAME code. I guess this version will produce a
proper MAME32 file since there's a new build out
on David's site who maintains the MAME32 ui source code.

Here's the second intermediate update after the
milestone 0.112 version. There is still not a MAME32
source update due to the new 0.112u1 layout and truth
is that there are certain things you should alter in
the 0.112-32 source tree in order this (and the
previous) version to compile without problems (if the
produced binary's gonna work; well this is another
story)
. Anyway I guess by the time you'll

10 Years of MAME!
07/02/2007 00:38
Well, it's hard to admit it, but there it is! Time
flies quickly folks. There are 10 whole years since
the first MAME release from Nicola Salmoria on
Feburary 5, 1997. Ten years of fun and 'insert
coins'. There's an 'anniversary' official release
(MAME 0.112) which
contains a whole lot of stuff. Most significant is
the CPS2 decryption, but it's not the only one.
Full speech and sound in 'Berzerk' and complete
rewritten code for B&W Midway games. You can
read more about this release here. It's been a
great decade for me. I hope you had a pleasant one
too...

MAME 0.111u6 source update
30/01/2007 18:49
A quick one after u5 since a lot of changes have been
implemented in the previous 3-4 days. I counted (and
finally got) 14 new games in this one (or better:
clrmame scanned them)
but, unfortunately, expect not to find the Jolly
Card Austria (encrypted) in those (still M.I.A.).
Compiling was smooth and I didn't have to download
an extra source update for the MAME32 version.
Latest source diff is available at the official
mamedev site. Enjoy.

MAME 0.111u5 source update
27/01/2007 11:58
This is somewhat different; no, don't worry, no
laserdisks (YET); only Aaron presenting a new
interrupt handling of Z80 core. You should test all
your favorite Z80 games and report any bugs at
mametesters. I
personally found some timing problem in Arkanoid
World, (ball hip-hops and racket instability) but
it may be due to several reasons (probably game
specific) since other games I tried with Z80 core
worked just fine. The compiling has no problems in
this one and the MAME32 is working perfectly.
Enjoy this one and don't forget to upgrade to the
latest clrmame in order to have a proper romscan.
The latest version is 3.99 and you can download it
from here. Latest source
diff is available at the official mamedev site.

MAME 0.111u4 source update
19/01/2007 15:22
Eventhough I didn't manage to make a MAME32 build for
u3, I managed to perform a successful scan with the
command line version. There was a ui error that came
from win32ui.c about an undefined main_ function
which I preferred not to change on windows\main.c
since diffs won't be working after you change
something in the core files...
Needless to say, I don't expect more from the u4 source update so, I guess we'll have to wait for the intermediate update of MAME32 (GUI version) source for u4. It's not yet ready, but when it's done, it's gonna be available here. As the previous ones, this source diff is available at the official mamedev site.
