MAME v0.146 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.

What's news in MAME v0.146:

[Brian Troha] spbactn.c: Adjusted clock speeds based on OSCs actually on the PCB. Added missing button and labeled buttons. Added dipswitch locations and misc documentation. [Brian Troha] Added NMI sound ACK mechanism to tecmo.c driver [Angelo Salese] Misc documentation updates and typo fixes for neogeo.xml as well as updates and a cleanup of neodrvr.c [Johnboy] Fixed ffightj2 ROMs labels and locations, added pcb infos to video\cps1.c [Team CPS-1] Fixed mapping for mmatrixd (cps2) to allow in-game region switch to work and renamed to a US set due to rom labels. Replaced Phoenix Set xmvsfu1d (cps2) bad dumps with others which pass in-game rom tests. [Barry Harris] timeplt.c: Added inputs to chkun and bikkuric, making them playable. [hap] Corrected some off by one errors in DM01 dot matrix emulation, while making it a bit more generic. Ultimately, it will plug into Scorpion 2 and 4 hardware. [James Wallace] preliminary Toshiba TC8830F emulation [hap] i8251: "reset" bit is only documented to revert to looking for a mode byte, not reset the entire chip. [R. Belmont] Preliminary Z8001 support [Christian Groessler] Initial work in preparation for some modernization on the whole megadriv.c file, starting with better splitting of actual drivers (megadriv.c, megacd.c, mega32x.c, megasvp.c and megavdp.c). [David Haywood] More Z8001 work, M20 now passes memory test [Christian Grössler] Fix for i286 preventing error 104 on ibm5170 [Carl] Added PPC405GP to PPC cpu core [Lukasz Markowski] Added custom DCR read/write handlers to PPC cpu core [Miodrag Milanovic] gei.c: Refactored Trivia rom questions. Added misc documentation. Added DSW locations to several sets. [Brian Troha] This is phase 2 of the DMD changes, creating a new '5 dot' element to make it more like the actual DM01 (which uses 5 by 7 blocks, but wires them up row wise to a buffer, giving an unusual '65 dot row') [James Wallace]. Z8001: Fix inb/outb @rX form. M20 PPI test now passes. [R. Belmont] Correct labels for bcruzm12 and replaced overdumped rom from butasan based on pcb pictures and observation [bonky0013, Tafoid] Updating MAME drivers to use modern i8255 implementation instead of the legacy one [Fabio Priuli] z800x: Support for disassembly of Z8001 instructions [Christian Grössler] segas16b.c: Corrected the rom labels for the Japanese Cotton set and added the Sega ID# for the rom board. [Tormod, The Dumping Union] Small Konami update: [Mamesick] * aliens.c : reverted wrong changes applied in 0.145u8. * crimfght.c : reverted wrong changes applied in 0.145u8. * vendetta.c : small cosmetic changes plus PCB components verified. Z8001 has 16-bit wide I/O ports [R. Belmont, Christian Grössler] 68681: Timers start immediately; unlike counters they don't wait for a start command. [R. Belmont] Finally done the last part of the dotmatrix changes, which is to create a dot by dot display mode. This makes the BFMDM01 emulation far more straightforward, and should mean that anyone wanting a matrix can call some combination of functions and make it work. [James Wallace] info.c: added screen tags to xml output, so that it is possible to easily identify which screens depend on optional devices (mostly of use in MESS, for its slot options, but eventually handy for PC-based arcades too) [Fabio Priuli] Improved sound emulation in for pokey chip. Changed audio emulation to emulate borrow 3 clock delay and proper channel reset. New frequency only becomes effective after the counter hits 0. Emulation also treats counters as 8 bit counters which are linked now instead of monolytic 16 bit counters. [Couriersud] i386: IRET/Virtual 8086 mode fixes [Carl] Added the alternative bios found on Gachagachamp, it appears to just be recompiled. [smf] Added the 700B01 bios, only the CRC is known. [smf] Stop the elephant stage on Handle Champ from crashing, though other graphics issues remain. [smf] New Mega-Tech BIOS added. [El Barto] Fix regression on POKEY device introduced in last commit. Fixed high pass filters for POKEY. Added POKEYN device based on modern device. Migrated bzone, ccastles and missile to use this device. [Couriersud] Fixed random lfsr generation in pokey.c. This fixes MT00501 while tempest is still starting up. [Couriersud] Convert all remaining drivers to use the modern pokey device. [Couriersud] Emulated the protection(s) in lhzb2a, making it playable [Luca Elia] mc68681: Fixed generation of spurious interrupts, and provide ASSERT/CLEAR states to the IRQ callback. [R. Belmont] i386: another small vm86 fix [Carl] Added I/O board ROM dump for Ninja Assault [Tormod, Smitdogg, The Dumping Union] Chance 32 driver improvements: [Roberto Fresca] * Inputs from the scratch. * Completely demuxed the output lines. * Added lamps support. * Added a nice button-lamps layout. * Found and added the FEVER! lamp. * Fixed the Oki6295 and CRTC 6845 clocks. * Corrected the refresh rate to 52.786 Hz (similar to Major Poker). * Hooked the vblank input line. * Figured out the following DIP switches: Auto Max Bet, Flip Screen, Maximum Bet, Auto Hold, Double-Up Type, Remote Credits, Bet Limit, and Coinage Multiplier.
