MAME News: MAME 0.197

[News Robot]

For our April release, we?re bringing even more elusive electronic
esoterica to light. MAME 0.197 finally includes support for the 1987
version of the Spanish quiz game Master Boy, believed to be Gaelco?s
first release. There are now drivers for several Neo-Geo MVS variants,
exposing different capabilities. Lamp outputs are now supported for The
Irritating Maze, bringing the game to life a little more. We?ve added
four more Tiger LCD games, all based on licensed IP: Home Alone, Home
Alone 2, Independence Day, and Transformers ? Generation 2.



The Sega Model 2 improvements keep coming, with Rail Chase 2 now
working. With its protection MCU emulated, Capcom?s F-1 Dream is also
working. MAME 0.197 adds support for alternate versions and bootlegs of
a long list of systems, including Crazy Bonus 2002, Explosive Breaker,
Fidelity Excel 68000, Lup Lup Puzzle, Pochi and Nyaa, Renegade, and
Silkworm. In addition, there are graphical improvements to Sega
ST-V/Saturn, and Magical Tetris Challenge.



There are some nice improvements for computer emulation this month,
too. The Acorn Electron has improved video handling and support for the
Mega Games Cartridge. The NEC PC-98 CD-ROM software list has been
updated with the latest dumps and compatibility status ? recent
emulation improvements mean more fully supported titles. You can now
boot HP-BASIC cartridges on the HP9000/340 series.



You can read about the rest of the improvements in the <a

file. As always, source and Windows binaries are available from <a
