mame: update to 0.249.

After a whirlwind four weeks of development, MAME 0.249 is ready
for release! Highlights this month include improved Atari 8-bit
family emulation, a newer version of Kyukyoku Tiger with a two-player
cooperative mode, another version of The Crystal Maze promoted to
working, and lots of prototype cartridge dumps for consoles including
the Atari Lynx, Nintendo Game Boy and Super Nintendo Entertainment
System. There are also eight e-kara cartridges, including a rare
e-kara Web cartridge containing twelve youth-oriented songs.

The modernisation of Apple II and Macintosh emulation is progressing
steadily. This month, the last of the legacy floppy devices were
phased out; various ADB emulation issues were resolved, making
mouse/keyboard input more reliable; and the Apple IIe standard
80-column card now works properly. Brian Johnson has added some
hard disk and sound cards for the Epson QX-10 and improved the
keyboard support. Thanks to holub, MAME now emulates the ZX Evolution:
BASECONF, another successor to the Sinclair ZX Spectrum. As an
added bonus, there’s also better I/O emulation for the ATM-Turbo
family.

All the little fixes and newly supported features this month add
up to make this a must-have release. There’s better display emulation
for the Victor 9000, data cassette support for the Casio RZ-1,
proper emulation for the K051316 tile flip configuration flags
(allowing an old hack to be removed), better video emulation in
Jaleco’s Field Combat, fixes for sample playback on the Yamaha
MU-5, and the German UI translation has been brought up to date.
