MESS v0.144 is released. MESS is an open source project which documents the hardware for a wide variety of (mostly vintage) computers, video game consoles, and calculators through software emulation, as MAME does for arcade games. As a nice side effect to this documentation, MESS allows software and games for these hardware platforms to be run on modern PCs.

[John Elliott] - mac: Further improvements to Quadra 700; System 7.5.0 (and probably 7.1) will boot, but system remains NOT_WORKING due to many known flaws. Fixed slot interrupts on IIci so 4-head operation is possible. [R. Belmont] - iq151: Added slot interface and moved video32/video64/disc2 emulation into slots. [Sandro Ronco] - iq151: Added emulation of Grafik module. [Sandro Ronco] - amiga: a number of games seem to get confused when there's two drives (they wait for a index pulse on the second) [O. Galibert] - mac: Fixed name of Asante MC3NB card, added Apple NuBus Ethernet Card which the Asante is a perfect clone of, fixed 24-bit mirroring so ethernet cards work in all slots [R. Belmont] - amstrad: Added support for ROMbox, SSA-1 speech synth and DK'Tronics speech synth to be used in a daisy-chain of expansion devices. [Barry Rodewald] - samcoupe: Hook up the new wd1772, format support incomplete though [O. Galibert] - abc1600: Added portrait/landscape layouts. [Curt Coder] - abc800: Refactored the ABC bus to single-slot (as it really is). [Curt Coder] - aes: cleanup of code, and made aes use neogeo softlist from MAME [David Haywood] - mac: fix SCC so AppleTalk check fails gracefully instead of locking up; removed ROM patch on II/IIx/IIcx since it's no longer necessary [R. Belmont] Software Lists: ---------------- - snes.xml: new dump added, NHL '97 Revision A [badinsults] - snes.xml: redumped and profiled arround 100 cartridges [MESSfan] - lynx.xml: stripped headers of dumps, removed bad dumps, added auto-rotate code [Huygens] - astrocde.xml: fix errors and add several new or previously missing dumps [ranger_lennier] Source Changes: ---------------- - amigafdc: Upgrade and fixes [O. Galibert] - wd1772: Adapt the pll to a 8MHz frequency [O. Galibert] - ipf: Describe the remaining fields [O. Galibert, SPS] - floppy,wd1772: First stab at write support, in-memory only for now [O. Galibert] - ipf: weak bits are usually badly-written/not written zones [O. Galibert] - floppy: Slot-ize the floppies so that you can choose how many are connected [O. Galibert, R. Belmont] - ami_dsk: ADF write support [O. Galibert] - refactored the Commodore IEC bus to use slots. You can now connect up to 4 IEC floppy drives of your choice (1540/1541/1571/1581) to a VIC-20, C64, C128, C16, Plus-4, or C65. [Curt Coder] - refactored the IEEE-488 bus to use slots. You can now connect up to 4 IEEE-488 floppy drives of your choice (C2040/C3040/C4040/ C8050/C8250/SFD1001) to a Commodore PET or CBMB. [Curt Coder]
