MAME 0.130u3 is released. MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. When used in conjunction with images of the original arcade game's ROM and disk data, MAME attempts to reproduce that game as faithfully as possible on a more modern general-purpose computer. MAME can currently emulate several thousand different classic arcade video games from the late 1970s through the modern era.

[Aaron Giles]

Reverted recent TMS32025 timing change which busted Cool Pool sound.

Konami inputs improvements: [Fabio Priuli]

(e.g. most 80s-90s games were using basically the same coinage
settings and joystick inputs).
* While at it, verified all 0x00 coinage effects in drivers which now
use konamipt.h (fixing a few mistakes: hexion, mikie, crimfgtj...)
* Added finalizb service coin. Removed roadf coin4 & asterix coin3
(neither used by the games nor present in service mode).

Simulate 'keyoff' in the SPU. The envelopes aren't actually emulated,

'release' state) This prevents audiable sound from looping forever.

Build the IDE features table only when there is a CHD available.
[Curt Coder]

Added device-based implementations of the eeprom and i2c deevices.
[Samuele Zannoli]

to me). [Fabio Priuli]

added no cocktail flag for risky challenge. [robiza]

Corrected names for Champion Italian PK boards (thank f205v for
spotting this). [Mirko Buffoni]
