MAME v0.132u2

MAMEMAME v0.132u2 is released. 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.

As the X implies, it is an all-encompassing FCEU emulator that gives the best of all worlds for the general player, the ROM-hacking community, and the Tool-Assisted Speedrun Community.

Win32 - Sound Dialog - cleanup, when sound is off, all controls are grayed out
r1361
Win32 - -palette commandline option

DOSBox for S60 (20090623)

EmuCR: DOSBoxDOSBox for S60 (20090623) is released.DOSBox emulates an Intel x86 PC, complete with sound, graphics, mouse, joystick, modem, etc., necessary for running many old MS-DOS games that simply cannot be run on modern PCs and operating systems. However, it is not restricted to running only games. In theory, any MS-DOS or PC-DOS (referred to commonly as "DOS") application should run in DOSBox, but the emphasis has been on getting DOS games to run smoothly, which means that communication, networking and printer support are still in early development.This is symbian s60 port of the DOSBox emulator for devices running s60 3rd edition feature pack 1 (or later)

DOSBox for S60 (20090623) changelog:
- bugfix: virtual keyboard clicking on touch-ui devices should now work as designed
