"SDLMAME is a port of the popular MAME™. There are a few principles that guide it’s development: 1) run on Linux/Unix, Mac OS X, and other SDL supported operating systems with as few changes as possible to the base Win32 code. This means we can track changes faster than larger more conventional ports such as MacMAME, and we also maintain what I call “Firefox compatibilty” where learning a major app only needs to be done once per application, and it then applies across many operating systems. If you can use the command-line Win32 MAME, you already know how to use SDLMAME on any platform you may encounter it on. 2) MAME developers are important. By keeping quickly up to date, we make it easy for people on non-Windows platforms to make and submit changes to the core MAME code, and we offer native implementations of MAME’s multi-window GUI debugger on both Linux/Unix and Mac OS X.

Time for the first 'u' update of the 0.139 cycle. Head over to the Source Updates page to grab the latest & greatest."

MAME 0.139 is now available, go get it at the Latest Release page.

You may notice the download sizes to be ~1MB larger for the binary releases. This is due to a bit of EXE bloat from the C++ conversion work (which is still in progress), plus the addition of a rather large .sym file. Keep this .sym file next to your executable so that if you encounter any crashes, you will get useful call stacks that you can report over at MAMETesters."

This is likely the last 'u' update this cycle, so be sure to grab u4 from the Source Updates page and make sure everything is still working as expected."

Another bunch of internal shuffling this round, but also some new MCU hookups as well, thanks to the decapping effort. Most of the regressions and performance losses from u2 should be fixed now as well. So go grab the u3 update from the Source Updates page."

After some substantial internal retooling, the MAME 0.138u2 update is now ready for download. Please heed the warning at the top of the whatsnew file: this release may have some bumps in compatibility and performance while the dust settles. By and large, however, things should be working as well as they always have, so don't let fear stop you from giving the new release a spin with your favorite games!"
