7 years itch!
gameland.gr turns 7 years old today. Seven years online, serving the emulation community, running polls and sending letters with 32000+ signatures to the previous prime minister of Greece in order to ban the 3037/02 law, making new friends and affiliates, but most important, keeping alive the best part of our childhood through arcade emulation. Thanks for being part of this. Thanks for all your support and understanding all these years, especially when it comes not to frequent updates, as this webslave (tm) is suffering from RLS (Real Life Syndrome)... ;)
MAME 0.101 u1 &2 source updates
Given the fact that the previous release came with a lot of things broken I stack to the previous version for a while. As expected, another release came through fixing most of the newly added glitches and giving us a more stabilized binary. The best parts of the what's new files follows:
0.101u1

MAME 0.100 u4 source update
The fourth in-a-row update for MAME 0.100. This one states several core changes so for all you compile-freaks out there, it's 100% certain that you're gonna need a fresh build... The best part in my opinion is this:
Added new option -autosave which automatically loads a game at startup and
saves it at exit time for any game which is explicitly marked with
GAME_SUPPORTS_SAVE. For other games, this option has no effect. [Aaron Giles]
Here's the list of the new games supported from the what's new file:

MAME 0.100 u3 source update
New source update from the MAME Team. The new 0.100u3 update adds several new games also as fixes from Sega C2 and Genesis based games. Here's the what's new file:
0.100u3
-------
Source Changes
--------------
More Sega C2/Genesis-based games cleanup: [Aaron Giles]
* fixed crashes introduced in last version
* centralized interrupt generation for all Genesis-based games
* implemented protection correctly for Puyo Puyo 2
Changed validity checks to use hashes for speed. Also changed them to only
run on the drivers in the source file of the current game, rather than on all
games, in non-debug builds. And fixed the coinage sorting check so that it
doesn't depend on the linker to order the strings in a particular way.
[Paul Priest]
Removed -skip_validitychecks option now that the time to execute the checks
is not as bad. [Aaron Giles]
Improved speed in Top Gunner by pre-decoding the vector processor microcode.
Also added a shift register to produce the LCD-like look of the score and
other numbers. [Mathis Rosenhauer]
Nintendo Super System sound update: [R. Belmont]
* Fixed bugs in SPC700 ADC, SBC, ADDW, SUBW, MUL, DIV, & CLRV opcodes
* Fixed several APU hardware/timer issues
* Added accurate sound DSP emulation from the latest OpenSPC
* Fixed some timing issues that prevented ActRaiser from syncing up
Result: generally accurate sound in the working NSS games, and in many
SNES games over in MESS as well.
Added missing vertical movement to Gatsbee. [Pierpaolo Prazzoli]

Gameland turns 7!
October is the month that this site will be officially 7 years old. Truth is that we have been around since September 1996 as "whacker's arcade page" but gameland.gr is the official site... Welp... what can I say. Time flies... :-S
Happy birthday :)
