New Flovie!

Grand Master Peter strikes again! This time a new flovie (Macromedia Flash Movie that is) shakes the still waters of MAME scene! It's entitled 'MAME THE NIGHT' and you can enjoy it by clicking here.

Almost December

I tend to believe that November is one of the busiest months of the year. I really haven't got the time even to read an emulation news site the last few days. Thank God, everything goes back to normal from now on and what I'm gonna do is to set myself to 'Xmas mode' ;-)

New CHD format progress

Aaron Giles is at it again, this time trying to make a universal CHD/ISO/CD format for use with MAME:

"...For example, the Mace hard disk I have is a 3.2GB hard disk, but most of the data on there is garbage and irrelevant to the game. I've been looking into ways of reliably "chomping" away the garbage. My current experiments have Mace down to a svelte 130MB, down from 1.2GB...."

You can read all about it here. 

New MAME History .dat

If you're from the lucky ones to have a complete 0.77 set so far, the best you can do is take this file too for use with the MAME32. History.dat has information, history elements, hints n tips and many more regarding most of MAME games. Get it from here.

MAME v. 0.77 the biggest release ever?

Since November 10, I am a happy owner of an ADSL. I have to admit though that even though the speed rates are well over 35k/s, the latest MAME release is not yet done downloading. I can say for sure that this must be the biggest (read: as huge as it gets) release ever. (Current MAME rom-dir size: over 21Gb and rising...)

Outrun 2 in English plz

Sega has done it again. I know that this should make my bestman Maddog smile and sleep better at nights. Outrun was his favorite game ever, so this will (hopefully) be as that. The official Sega site about this great game can now be read in English here.

Nick states it won't be more than 10 days long, since the new version is out and in sync with the official International release.
