Branch: CURRENT, Version: 0.272, Package name: mame-0.272, Maintainer: wiz

MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. When used in
conjunction with images of the original arcade game's ROM and disk
data, MAME attempts to reproduce that game as faithfully as possible
on a more modern general-purpose computer. MAME can currently
emulate several thousand different classic arcade video games from
the late 1970s through the modern era.

ROMs are needed to play the games. Some are freely available on the
MAME homepage.

mame: update to 0.272.

The end of the year is almost upon us, but before that happens,
make sure you try MAME 0.272! We’re very happy to announce that
the early SNK game Tangram Q is now supported. This game was never
widespread, and working examples are rarer than ever. MAME now
gives you the unprecedented opportunity to experience this piece
of gaming history. Another obscure system that’s starting to take
shape is the Estonian EKTA Juku. This 8-bit educational computer
was powered by a Soviet 8080 clone and ran the CP/M-derived EKDOS
operating system.

The French Thomson computers have been receiving some attention
lately, and software compatibility is starting to improve. Progress
on the NEC PC-98 family is still coming along nicely. Our CD-ROM
drive emulation has been getting better, which has a positive impact
on numerous computers as well as game systems. The Epoch Super
Cassette vision also got some nice fixes this month.

Numerous reported issues were fixed in this release, including some
long-standing issues that had eluded developers for years. There
are lots of new working bootleg arcade games to try out. Several
TV games have been promoted to working this month, too.
