MAMEdev.org | MAME 0.289 Released

submitted by

https://www.mamedev.org/?p=565

After two long months, MAME 0.289 is ready, and it’s an undeniably massive update! But before we talk about emulation, there are a few more mundane things to mention. Our Windows binary releases now include the SDL sound output and joystick input modules. The sdljoy joystick input module now supports game controllers with up to 128 buttons. The Win32 debugger module handles dynamic UI scaling changes. Finally, outputs have been overhauled, improving performance and fixing issues, but you may need to update your configuration if you’ve got external programs hooked up, and some artwork files may need updating.

You’ll notice a number of systems and coprocessor cards based around NS32000 family CPUs are now working. If you aren’t familiar with it, the NS32000 architecture was one of the first single-chip CPU families with a 32-bit ALU. It used a highly orthogonal instruction set with clear influences from Digital Equipment Corporation’s earlier work. In retrospect, it didn’t have enough registers, the instruction encoding was too complex, it took them too long to overtake Motorola’s 68k family’s performance, and bugs in the initial implementation hurt early adopters. But now you can relive its glory days in MAME, running contemporary 32-bit System V UNIX! David Rand, the mastermind behind these NS32000 emulation advances, has also turned his attention in other directions. He’s brought the Xerox 820 and Big Board families up to working status, emulated Toshiba CP/M systems, and added the hard disk controller to the Kaypro 10, and more!

If you’re a fan of Sega arcade games, you’ll have lots to enjoy. For the groundbreaking Model 1 platform, there are numerous fixes for graphical issues, better collision detection in Virtua Fighter, and the bad bits in the DSP program that were breaking Wing War have been identified and patched. Even NetMerc is in better shape. The very unconventional Flash Beats game is now playable. It has basic internal artwork, but someone sufficiently motivated could have it looking spectacular by creating suitable external artwork. There are also some fixes for games that use the SCSP sound chip.

MAME has emulated the EACA Colour Genie EG2000 for quite some time now, but this release adds support for the EACA Genie III, which was released in the same year. There are lots of fixes for issues with the widely-used PowerPC and 68k CPU families, which will benefit a wide range of emulated systems. In particular, more versions of classic MacOS are now running happily on MAME’s emulated PowerMacs, and A/UX (Apple’s early attempt at merging MacOS and UNIX) boots and runs. Numerous games using NES-like SoCs from V.R. Technology have been promoted to working, including several from Lexibook’s Compact Cyber Arcade line. NEC’s PC-6001 family have had numerous issues fixed, as well as receiving a substantial update to their software lists. The steady progress on emulating electronic musical instruments hasn’t stopped, either.

As always, there’s far more in this release than we have time to talk about here, but you can read all about it in the whatsnew.txt file. You can find the source code and 64-bit Windows binary packages on our download page.

Out of curiosity, what is the distribution of downloads among the three OSs?

Someday I hope to play Rayman 3 again.

spoiler

Spoiler text explains how to acquire everything you need to run MAME. But that won’t answer your question because you’ll note Rayman 3 was added to the NOT Working section :P

You’d use Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator, to play Rayman 3 I think.

https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Rayman_3:_Hoodlum_Havoc

Linux, I don’t recommend Flatpaks. Sandbox causes problems, so:

https://pkgforge-dev.github.io/Anylinux-AppImages/ or https://github.com/pkgforge-dev/Dolphin-emu-AppImage

Windows and Mac:

https://dolphin-emu.org/download/

Games are here: https://r-roms.github.io/Nintendo/nintendo-gamecube

spoiler

Firstly, games and BIOS, disc images, media for front ends, etc…the full sets are found here: https://pleasuredome.github.io/pleasuredome/mame/index.html

Use the merged torrents, even if you only download a partial torrent for a few games and their requires BIOS or whatever you want to do. Best for updating via torrent full sets. Checking an existing directory in a torrent client vs following the annoying update torrents.

Linux:

I have to explain something first: MAME is in probably most distro repositories, certainly Arch/CachyOS. However, I don’t actually like using it that way because you have to match the ROM/CHD sets to the same version as the emulator version or you get will get incompatibility errors if you have the full sets. Or may depending on the game and if the files weren’t touched, or even just rearranged between releases. This is uniquely dumb (thanks to the way MAME handles ROMS differently from everyone else) because every time you update your system then MAME gets updated but your files don’t and are then incompatible. Undesirable. So I grab a full set and then compile from source and then I don’t update anything unless something in the change logs catches my eye that I want to try.

However I have a very handy compilation website for many various AppImages including emulators like MAME: https://pkgforge-dev.github.io/Anylinux-AppImages/ so this is what I’d use if manually compiling from source isn’t in your interest.

Windows:

You can just grab the Windows MAME executable from mamedev.org as linked in OP. It already has a decent GUI built in. I also liked using the 3rd party QMC2 front end, also available on Linux. It’s outdated, but that doesn’t matter very much the front end doesn’t need to be the same version as MAME itself in this case: https://github.com/qmc2/qmc2-mame-fe

Mac: https://wiki.mamedev.org/index.php/SDL_Supported_Platforms

idk, but it’s supported.

Yes, I did see Rayman 3 on not working, my comment was wistfully hopeful. Thanks for the links!

Oh sorry I misread you :S

Have you tried any 3D consoles in MAME before? I haven’t touched anything outside of the arcade cabinets and only the early 3D stuff like Rush.

I messed about with MAME ages ago, but can´t remember what I played on it. I think Rayman 3 was probably PS2 for me.




You are technically correct, but good luck with being technically correct in the public sphere.
