MAME 0.132

MAME 0.132 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.

Source Changes

Fixed a number of year listings known to be unknown or incorrect the
current MAME source. The source for these changes come from the book:
Arcade TV Game List (Edition: Domestic and Overseas, 1971 - 2005).
[Tafoid, Fujix]

Update ghosteo driver with information out of eolith.c about QS1000
and added the sample rom, with a note about it NOT being dumped from
this PCB but is a common sample rom used by Eolith. [Brian Troha]

Fixed minor cycle counting inaccuracy in Z80 core. [Marshmellow]

Added the concept of device contracts. A contract is a well-defined
set of interfaces supported by a device, and identified by a unique
string identifier. A device may support any number of contracts,
described in a list via the DEVICE_CONTRACT_LIST* macros. The purpose
of contracts is to provide a means for devices to expose a standard
set of interfaces to other parts of the system. For example, the PCI
device should expose a contract that includes functions for
configuration register access, and 32-bit I/O. Then any device with
a PCI interface should implement the PCI contract, so that the PCI
bus device can route things appropriately. [Aaron Giles]

Removed the MDRV__REMOVE macros. A simple DEVICE_REMOVE
works now that device types are not needed. [Aaron Giles]

Verified clocks on Samurai Aces pcb. [Corrado Tomaselli]

Added missing static and const qualifiers throughout the source.
[Atari Ace]

Changed several internal interfaces to be more consistent, namely
(1) passing device_config as a const always, (2) passing
running_machine as a non-const always, (3) eliminating running_machine
where possible, (4) passing machine/device first, and (5) preferring
(screen, bitmap, cliprect) over (machine, bitmap, cliprect) when all
are needed for rendering. [Atari Ace]
