mame: update to 0.205.
With Christmas just over, it’s time for the final MAME release for
2018, and what a year it’s been!
MAME 0.205 is no different. Newly supported arcade systems include
Unico’s Magic Purple, and Visco’s never-before-seen prototype Pastel
Island. The latter ties in nicely with improved video emulation
for the SSV platform (yes, this fixes other long-standing glitches,
too). Newly playable machines include Konami’s Tobe! Polystars,
Evil Night and Total Vice. Yes, Konami M2 emulation is finally
here! Be aware that there’s still a lot of room for performance
optimisation on this system.
Putting arcade systems aside for a moment, this release includes
support for Dance Dance Revolution Strawberry Shortcake, and the
Nintendo Game & Watch titles Oil Panic and Squish. Interestingly,
there are no other emulators or simulators for Squish, and it hasn’t
been included in any of Nintendo’s Game & Watch collections. It
seems to draw inspiration from the Famicom game Devil World.
There are hundreds more Commodore 64 cassettes in the software list
now, and quite a few more BBC ROMs as well. Software lists have
been added for the Nascom computers, along with updates to the boot
ROM choices and better keyboard emulation. We’ve also created a
skeleton driver and documented the known software for the Chinese
Monon Color console. In a last-minute addition we added support
for new version 2 .WOZ floppy images on the Apple II family.
