MAME 0.281
After what felt like a few short weeks, it’s time for MAME 0.281! First of all, with the proliferation of ARM-based notebook computers, we’re going to try offering binary packages for people running 64-bit ARM versions of Windows 10 or later. Please be aware that most MAME developers are still using x86-64 systems, so you may encounter issues specific to ARM systems (this goes for people running MAME on Apple M series CPUs and ARM-based Linux systems as well). When reporting issues, remember to specify the operating system and CPU family. And speaking of ARM CPUs, we’ve fixed a few lurking bugs in the 64-bit ARM recompiler back-end and improved performance a bit more. Emulated systems with Hitachi SuperH and Hyperstone E1 CPUs should benefit.There are some big software list updates this month, with lots of original floppy and cassette dumps and modern homebrew releases added. More Sony NEWS workstations are now running. If you want to play with them, be aware that you’ll need to access them over an emulated network interface, as video output isn’t working. IBM RTPC emulation is still progressing steadily as well. There are some emulation improvements to the sound chip used by Akai MPC samplers as well as the SNK Hyper Neo Geo 64, although it’s still preliminary.
