MAME

0.272

The end of the year is almost upon us, but before that happens, make sure you try MAME 0.272! We’re very happy to announce that the early SNK game Tangram Q is now supported. This game was never widespread, and working examples are rarer than ever. MAME now gives you the unprecedented opportunity to experience this piece of gaming history. Another obscure system that’s starting to take shape is the Estonian EKTA Juku. This 8-bit educational computer was powered by a Soviet 8080 clone and ran the CP/M-derived EKDOS operating system.

The French Thomson computers have been receiving some attention lately, and software compatibility is starting to improve. Progress on the NEC PC-98 family is still coming along nicely. Our CD-ROM drive emulation has been getting better, which has a positive impact on numerous computers as well as game systems. The Epoch Super Cassette vision also got some nice fixes this month.

Numerous reported issues were fixed in this release, including some long-standing issues that had eluded developers for years. There are lots of new working bootleg arcade games to try out. Several TV games have been promoted to working this month, too.

You can read about all the exciting work that went into this release in the whatsnew.txt file. As always, the source code and 64-bit Windows binary packages are available on the download page.

0.271

It’s the end of October, which means it must be time for MAME 0.271! It’s been another good month for gambling system emulation. A few Excellent System games are now playable, including Miracle Seven and Fever 13. Several more games from IGS were dumped and emulated. As well as mahjong games, there are a few card games, including several variants of a dou dizhu game. Speaking of IGS, Mahjong Senpu is now fully playable. This game is interesting as it feels like a poor-quality imitation IGS mahjong game, although it runs on completely different hardware and doesn’t appear to rely on stolen game code.

Numerous issues with NEC PC-98 emulation have been fixed, many of them affecting graphics. This has resulted in dozens of software list items being promoted to working. The Research Machines LINK 480Z is now emulated properly. This 8-bit computer from England could boot BASIC from ROM or CP/M from floppy disks or a network file server. We’ve also added support for a somewhat newer system built around one of the oldest integrated CPUs: Dmitry Grinberg’s Linux/4004. This system emulates a MIPS I CPU on an Intel 4004 CPU, allowing Linux to run from an SD Card. Using it is definitely an exercise in patience.

As always, there’s far more in this release than we’ve got time to talk about here. There’s some very visible improvement to Namco System 23 emulation, quite a few new chess computers, more Japanese TV games, some progress on Thomson computer emulation, and lots of additions to the Apple and Sinclair software lists.

You can read about everything that changed this month in the whatsnew.txt file, and the source code and 64-bit Windows binary packages are available on the download page.

0.269

It’s almost the end of August, which means it must be time for MAME 0.269 to be unleashed on the world! The widely-used Zilog Z8410 DMA controller emulation has had an overhaul this month. In concert with the recent Z80 CPU work, this allows more realistic I/O timings for numerous systems. If you’re curious about unreleased prototypes, BASIC is starting to show signs of life on the Commodore 65.

Two additional Japanese releases of Capcom fighting games on CPS-2 hardware have been found this month: a more recent version of X-Men Vs. Street Fighter than any previously dumped set, and a version of Hyper Street Fighter II released a bit over a week before the latest known update. The microcontroller for Irem’s Gallop on M72 hardware has been dumped, allowing simulation code to be removed. Thanks to Peter Wilhelmsen and XingXing, the pace of dumping internal ROMs from IGS027A ARM CPUs has picked up, so we might see more progress on IGS games soon.

Of course, there’s lots more to enjoy, including an 8085-based prototyping board, more chess computers, and improvements to MAME’s debugger. You can read all about it in the whatsnew.txt file, or get the source code and 64-bit Windows binary packages from the download page.

-cpu/m68000: Updated 680x0 FPU to Softfloat 3 from 2. (MT5411 and MT8793). [R. Belmont]
 * Update to Softloat 3 from 2
 * FREM and FMOD now generate the quotient bits in FPSR, required by Apple's SANE to do sin/cos/tan properly.
 * FMOVE of a float to a Dx integer register generates the exception status bits, fixing square roots in SANE
 * Rewrote how FMOVEM instructions are decoded and executed, fixing issues including skipping too few or too many opcode bytes and
    causing serious weird behavior.
 * FPU instructions all now have more realistic cycle timings for a 68881.
 * All FPU instructions now generate exception bits in FPSR.
   - 3rdparty/softfloat3: Updates [R. Belmont]
 * Softfloat3 was always being built for a big-endian host, causing incorrect math on LE x64 and AArch64 machines.
 * Fixed up Softfloat3 to build properly as part of MAME and up-ported the Bochs extensions.  In latest Bochs, they were only
    partially up-ported and Softfloat3 had been hacked up to be more like 2; here they're fixed to work with stock Softfloat3.

 * machine/watchdog.cpp: get rid of verbose call, reword comments

-imagedev/floppy: fix a bug with reading the first 1-bit on a track (#12439) [Roman Donchenko]
 * `floppy_image_device::find_index` uses binary search to find the index for which `buf[spos] <= position < buf[spos + 1]`.
    However, the algorithm behaves incorrectly when `position < buf[0]`. In this case, the algorithm returns 0, as if `position` was
    between `buf[0]` and `buf[1]`.
 * The effect of this is that if `get_next_transition` is called with a timestamp that is between the start of the revolution and
    the first transition, then instead of returning the timestamp of that transition, it returns the timestamp of the second
    transition instead. Essentially, the first 1-bit on the track gets flipped to a 0.
 * I have encountered this in Apple II emulation, where this bug manifests as sporadic I/O errors.
 * Fix it by doing two things:
 * 1. Replace `find_index` with a call to `upper_bound` from the standard library, which behaves correctly in edge cases.
 * 2. If `upper_bound` signals that `position < buf[0]`, then adjust `base` and `index` to point to the last transition of the
    previous revolution.

-imagedev/floppy.cpp: fix out-of-bounds access to the seek sample (#12452) [Roman Donchenko]
 * Currently, when `floppy_sound_device::step` selects a new seek sample, the value of `m_seek_samplepos` remains the same as it was
    the last time a seek sample was played. This might be an invalid position for the new sample, since the seek samples have
    different lengths. When this is the case, the next call to `floppy_sound_device::sound_stream_update` makes an out-of-bounds
    memory access as it reads the sample data.
 * Fix this by resetting `m_seek_samplepos` to 0 when a new seek sample is selected.
 * This also makes the seek sounds more consistent, since previously they would start from a semi-random position each time.
