MESS Git (2016/01/25)

MESS Git (2016/01/25) is compiled. MESS(Multi Emulator Super System) is an open source emulator which emulates a large variety of different systems. MESS is a source-available 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.

Pyon Pyon Jump [Ryan Holtz, Smitdogg, Shoutime, Roberto Fresca, The Dumping Union]
(out of whatsnew)
This is just a ROM loading to preserve the set.
I have the game working, but I need to update compile tools, enviroment, src,
etc to get a clean compile before apply all these improvements...
* shuffle some code around, move included code to .inc file, easier to read / understand than the self-include. also kill off the old rasterizer path, the new one seems to work fine, so it's essentially dead code, hopefully nobody has an issue with this.
* new WORKING game
