MAME v0.132u4 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.

score, music & sound dips are inverted vs MAME tab
(Fabio Priuli)
- 03292: [Crash/Freeze] battles, gallag, gatsbee: [debug] assert:
src/mame/machine/namco06.c:240: state->device[2] != NULL ||
config->chip2 == NULL (Fabio Priuli)
- 03019: [Core] Sets with added Shifters: Running with the Shifter

Source Changes
--------------
Fixed sound in Seibu Cup Soccer bootleg [Angelo Salese]
Removed a kludge from Sengoku Mahjong sound comms [Angelo Salese]
K053936 cleanup and some improvements for Racin' Force [David Haywood]
Marked siseikat prg rom as bad dump. [Angelo Salese]
Added very basic SCC68070 implementation, currently is just a basic
m68k with 32-bits of address lines. The plan is to add the on-chip
peripherals on the magicard.c driver then, when I get some
consistency, hardwire it to the cpu core. [Angelo Salese]
Better fix for Amiga AGA ddf_stop_pixel, to avoid breaking Amiga 1200
startup screen. [Mariusz Wojcieszek]
Fixed Cubo CD32 framerate to 50 [Mariusz Wojcieszek]
Confirmed Last Duel sets and changed to use genuine GFX ROMs
[Team Japump]
Marked vf3tb CROM0 ROMs as BAD_DUMP (they should be 4MB). Updated game
status notes. [Phil Bennett]
Allow skeetsht to put some gfxs. [Angelo Salese]
SCC68070: hooked up basic registers in the memory map. [Angelo Salese]
Update to the lastduel.c driver:
* Better rom load / decode for Last Duel sets [David Haywood]
* Readme / PCB layout [Guru]
* Corrected rom labels and added PCB locations to Mad Gear / LED
Storm sets [Brian Troha]
model3: masked CROM bank, fixes missing gfx in several games.
[R. Belmont]
Adds DIP port locations to Last Duel & Mad Gear sets. [Brian Troha]
Added redumped vf3tb ROMs [Guru]
Tokimeki Mahjong Paradise driver improvements:
- split tmmjprd / tmpdoki from rabbit.c as it uses the graphic chip
in a very different way, and having them together was making it
more difficult to make progress on [David Haywood]
- changed them to use custom rendering code instead of tilemaps, as
they can address tile data at a sub-tile level, this fixes the
girls in the intro [David Haywood]
- added inputs [Angelo Salese]
- added some notes about a hang, and possible reason [David Haywood]
- marked the graphic roms of tmpdoki as BAD as it appears to be
using tiles which are not present in the tmmjprd roms for the
title screen [David Haywood]
ARM (26-bit): TST/TEQ should only update flags. This eliminates the
need for patches in poizone/ertictac, all deco32 games still run
(including hvysmsh), and it better matches the documentation.
[R. Belmont]
Updated the Led Storm Rally 2011 set with the new roms as per the
Guru's info. Marked this game as GAME_IPERFECT_GRAPHICS due to the
bad sprite ect. [Brian Troha]
Corrected p911uc compact flash dump by Guru. [Angelo Salese]
Added fade in/fade out effects for tmmjprd [Angelo Salese]
Document the Pacman on Tecmo World Cup '90 hardware. Lists the roms
plus CRC32 / SHA1 in the comment section to prevent it from turning
up as a newly "found" game and to show users MAME is aware of it
existence. [Brian Troha]
Add gun I/O board to Teraburst and hook up 68k/PPC comms. Not sure how
the guns are read yet but this fixes the CALL ATTENDENT immediate
death and the game runs fine now. [R. Belmont]
Changes to support address maps for arbitrary devices: [Aaron Giles]
- Moved address_map array from cpu_config to device_config. Added MDRV
macros in the device for specifying address maps. Changed the memory
system to fetch the maps from the new location.
- Moved the address-space related get_info constants to devintrf
(including endianness). Removed space array from the CPU class
header. Made the memory system much more device-neutral. Various
other cleanups along the way.
- Expanded address maps from 3 to 4. Moved ADDRESS_SPACE_PROGRAM/DATA/ IO constants to cpuintrf, as those names are really only applicable
to CPUs. Added new ADDRESS_MAP_0/1/2/3 constants to identify address
maps more generically.
- Updated memory system to be more general about address map handling.
Added the concept of default address maps (in addition to the
already existing internal memory maps). The difference between
internal and default memory maps is that internal memory maps always
override everything (including user-specified maps), but default
memory maps simply provide a default that can be overridden.
- Converted the okim6295 sound driver to use address maps for access.
By default, it defines a ROM address map that overlays its full
region. As a result, the validity checks require all okim6295
regions to be at least 256k, unless you provide your own address
map. Updated all regions to meet this requirement.
- Updated the atarijsa code to use a custom address space for its
okim6295 accesses (which are banked on the first half and static on
the second half), as an example of configuring a device with a
custom address space.
- For now, attempts to use okim6295_set_bank_base() will still work,
though banking for the okim chips should be moved to custom address
maps in the drivers eventually. The first time
okim6295_set_bank_base() is called, it will install a banked memory
handler over the region and use memory_set_bankptr() to change the
base on subsequent bank switches.
- Moved address map validity checks to be run for each device instead of
just each CPU.
Removed PREDECODE_GFX compile flag, as the on-the-fly decoding seems
to be working reliably. Deprecated the ROMREGION_DISPOSE flag, as 98%
of the use of it no longer is applicable with on-the-fly decoding,
and the remaining cases are difficult to identify among the others.
[Aaron Giles]
Documentation updates: [Kevin Eshbach]
* For Super Basketball adds the rom locations for those that were
missing before and adds the jumper settings
* Documents the SEGA cpu part number for Future Spy and Super Zaxxon
safarir: fixed colors and filenames, and added samples [Hau]
Update Deniam driver YM3812 clocks to match recording.
[Lord Nightmare]
Added comment about galaga.c bootlegs using 06XX emulation.
[Fabio Priuli]
Fixed Aqua Jet sample ROM loading [skeleton081983]
Fixed a HD6309 core bug/typo in the divq_im opcode. [Romain Tisserand]
Improved Jockey Club 2 driver organization: [David Haywood]
- added different machine drivers for the different sets.
- added an st0016 to the 'older hardware' machine driver, that's
what the 'z80' rom on it is for (see st0016.c) the newer
hardware and bootleg don't use it.
- still waiting for proper gfx dumps

MAMEXT v0.132u4 is released.MAMEXT is a cool unofficial version of MAMEUI with highscore save included.MAMEXT32 also has some extra features that plain vanilla MAME doesn’t. MAMEXT64 is the 64bit optimized version of the emulator, which will run on Windows 64bit operating systems.
DeSmuME 0.9.2 Plus Gocha r2488 is released.DeSmuME 0.9.2 Plus Gocha is a UNOFFICIAL DeSmuME ReRecording Build.DeSmuME ReRecording is the re-recording branch of DeSmuME 0.9.2.This is the development project for this branch of DeSmuME. Its primary function is to expand features related to the creation of Tool-Asssisted movies.
Dolphin SVN r3728 is released.Dolphin is the first Gamecube emulator able to run commercial games! Dolphin is a great Gamecube(NGC) and Wii emulator.It has a partial Wii support and plays most Gamecube games.
PCSX2 SVN r1480 is released.PCSX2 is a PlayStation 2 (PS2) emulator for the Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems. With the most recent versions, many PS2 games are playable (although speed limitations have made play-to-completion tests for many games impractical), and several games are claimed to have full functionality.
DaedalusX64 SVN r416 is released.DaedalusX64 is a N64 Emulator for PSP.DaedalusX64 is the continuation of the original Daedalus PSP port by StrmnNrmn. It is a GPL Open Source project. 
Jpcsp SVN r1094 is released.JPCSP is a PlayStation Portable(PSP) emulator which is written in JAVA. JPCSP is the first PSP emulator that is written in JAVA. Most people think java is too slow. But Shadow and his team has proven us wrong. The newest Java versions are almost as fast as C which makes it very interesting for emu dev's. Shadow and his team are working day and night with pleasure on the emu, many coders have dedicated to the project. Because it's written in java many young devs find it interesting to learn how the emulator works.
