MAME.GR Meeting Vol.2.0!

Last weekend a bunch of chaps came together in Athens, for the needs of MAME.GR gathering vol.2.0. This was a special event once a very good friend came all the way from Perth, Australia for this meeting! I have some pictures for you to look at, but don't expect to say who is who... ;) The pictures are here and they are of a 1024x768 resolution. They cover the most part of the meeting (it lasted from 16:00 to 01:30 next day) and we began with the official mame.gr drink... . For those who don't know what it is, I present a pic:

The next part came after a while with beer-fest and last but not least with HUGE amounts of pork & lamb chops. :P

Triunvi MsPacman clone!

After several months I have finally dumped the board that George Anastasiades has brought to me as a present. The roms have been sent away to the MAME team (together with a driver) and let's hope they'll be included into the next 'u' update. Here are 2 pictures of the board (quality suxx):

and here's the screenshots from the MAME driver I have made:

You can see the "TRIUNVI S A - 1991" in the title screen. I couldn't figure out any other differences so far. Even the 255 level bug is there... ;)
