Notes for 32-bit versions:
– dc (Dreamcast) and clones – crash at start (works in official MAME due to their use of newer GCC)
– hapyfsh2, kof2002um, kof2002umj all crash at start because the roms are too big to fit in memory.
Please note: This will be the last release with a 32-bit build. From 0.216, only 64-bit will be available. You can make your own 32-bit build and host them somewhere if you wish.
Configuration requise: – A CPU faster than a potato.
– For the hardware renderers, a GPU capable of OpenGL 3.0/OpenGL ES 3.0/Direct3D 11 Feature Level 10.0 and above. So, basically anything made in the last 10 years or so.
– SDL-compatible game controller (e.g. XB360/XBOne)
This release is a beta – save states, movies, etc. created with this version may not be compatible with future versions of Mesen.
New Features
– Run Ahead: Added run ahead support (in Emulation settings)
– Emulation: Added 2 new options to emulate known PPU hardware bugs
– Emulation: Added option to emulate CPU/PPU alignments
– UI: Added load state and save state menus (with previews and timestamps)
– Mappers: Added support for Study Box roms (.studybox files)
– UNROM512/GTROM: Added support for self-flashing
– Debugger: Various fixes and improvements
– Event Viewer: Improved filtering options and added the ability to display NTSC borders
Bug Fixes
– CPU: Rewrote DMC and OAM DMA logic to better match hardware behavior/timings
– CPU: Fixed an issue with NMIs turning into IRQs (when turning the NMI flag off at the wrong moment)
– PPU: Fixed PPU OAM fetch pattern on pre-render scanline
– PPU: Fixed some PPU timings to better match hardware
– MC-ACC: Improved MC-ACC (licensed MMC3 clone) emulation
– MMC5: Rewrote a large portion of the code to better match hardware behavior and quirks
– Mappers: Fixed/improved emulation of a number of mappers used by unlicensed games
– NSF: Fixed an issue that caused problems with some FDS NSF files
– Linux: Fixed bug when using nvidia’s drivers that caused the screen to be completely black
– Widescreen extension is new computed for the AR plus the overscan and aspect correction settings [#29] (see ReadMe for a list of values)
– Fixed broken image when editor is paused [#24] (Hopefully also fixes crashes mentioned in #12)
– Fixed Ignore Window functionality, e.g. for Terranigma Mode 7 widescreen [#22] (Also the replacement x-coordinate can be set again)
– Fixed Gamma/Luminance/Saturation settings being applied [#23] (Gamma defaults is 150, previous behavior matched 100)
– Fixed transparency issue in Kirby’s Dreamland 3 via a hackish implementation of non-hires backgrounds in hires-scenes when scaling is enabled [#10] (Also improves hires handling at odd scale levels)
– Fixed regression in HD window functionality [#25] and added first primitive improvement for the issues with horizontal lines [#19] (this is all still considered experimental)
– Fixed Super Game Boy on libretro
– Added libretro settings Aspect Correction and Gamma/Luminance/Saturation and corrected overclocking to not go below 100%
– Update to latest bsnes (114.3) and SameBoy trunk
– beta 10.1 did include libretro improvements enabling MSU-1 [#16] and cheat [#17] support and officially adding the Switch port (currently without multi-threaded-renderer)
– All provided as-is, libretro core available on Windows, Linux, Android & Switch via the RetroArch updater
As before, the releases only have the binary. Any other needed files come with the standard MAME from mamedev.org.
– Arcade games only
– NO pinball
– NO poker games
– NO gambling games
– NO systems that require software, such as computers and consoles
– If all the games of a specific source file are not functional, then they are removed.
Changements valables pour MAMEUI/MESSUI: – sync with mame v0.218
Notes for 32-bit versions:
– dc (Dreamcast) and clones – crash at start;
– hapyfsh2, kof2002um, kof2002umj all crash at start because the roms are too big to fit in memory.
– This is the last release with 32-bit builds. From 0.216, only 64-bit will be released. You can make your own 32-bit build and host them somewhere if you wish.
