Welcome to gameland

There are a lot of things that keep me away from updating this site at the moment and most likely this will be going up to 30 of June. Anyway. Summer's coming and I hope that I can manage to put some work aside and have a couple of weeks off sometime soon... ;)
On with the emulation news now:
Aaron has a new source update out since yesterday so, get your compilers ready! Here's what's new in this release:

After a short break Aaron hits back with another core update. I like most the part that Mametesters bugs are being fixed! Here's a part of the what's new file:

Here in my hometown a small crew of friends & I, run a small local radio station which unfortunately is not broadcasting live on internet (yet). Nevertheless it now has a site! Flash plugin (and Greek language) is required. ;)

Due to an (small) accident, I have been away for a couple of days (my car has a broken engine though). Therefore I didn't notice the latest u1 release. So from the what's new file:

Download the command line executable & source files from the official website. If you prefer the MAME32 version then you should head up here. There's an important note though:
