MESS v0.148u5 is released. MESS is an open source project which documents the hardware for a wide variety of (mostly vintage) computers, video game consoles, and calculators through software emulation, as MAME does for arcade games. As a nice side effect to this documentation, MESS allows software and games for these hardware platforms to be run on modern PCs.

[Dave Dunfield] Source Changes -------------- -aim65.c: added software list for software ROMs and hooked up to the driver. [K1W1, Fabio Priuli] -applix: The mirror is required for the system to size up the ram correctly [O. Galibert] -esq1: preliminary emulation of analog stages (VCFs and VCAs) [O. Galibert] -electron.c: Added cartridge support. [Wilbert Pol] -cp1: added layout and keyboard input. [Sandro Ronco] -psxmultitap: add multitap support [Carl] -D6800: Various improvements. Most games are playable. [Robbbert] -D6800: Cassette connected up, system marked as WORKING [Robbbert] -a7800.c - Red and Blue miscalculated proportions fixed. [Robert Tuccitto] -pc: remove unused ibm5150_ppi8255_interface [shattered] pc, ec1841: unbreak DBG_LOG macro mc1502: FDC xtal freq is 16 MHz asst128: another PC XT clone ec1841: add softlist, set 'v2' as default BIOS to avoid resets -nes.c: greatly improved save state stability, by adding registration of on-cart VRAM/WRAM. [Fabio Priuli] -gameboy/gbcolor: simplified video code by reducing the number of memory pointers used, and added support for save state registration. [Fabio Priuli] -slotify pc joystick [Carl] -Apollo updates: [Hans Ostermeyer] * Added 4 and 8 plane color graphics board support * Renamed dn3x00 to dn3x00_19i and dn3x00_15i to dn3x00 * Reworked video/apollo.c into class apollo_graphics * Fixed recent regression where the arrow keys moved the mouse pointer -v1050: Fixed floppy drive type.
