David Haywood's MAME(tm) WIP (2011/06/09)

She can get up, shower, and in half an hour she’d be gone

As my involvement in MAME continues to wind down I’ve decided to make a fresh start to this blog.

I wanted to do a summary of all the things in MAME which I’ve been involved with, but the list was monstrous and quickly became unwieldy. I think I must have been actively involved in development on at least half of the supported titles in MAME in some capacity, be it writing the drivers from scratch, rewriting drivers based on new information, acting as support to other people, or simply fixing bugs in existing drivers when adding new supported sets and/or games.

Fceux SVN r2204

EmuCR:FceuxFceux SVN r2204 is released. FCEUX is a cross platform, NTSC and PAL Famicom/NES emulator that is an evolution of the original FCE Ultra emulator. Over time FCE Ultra had separated into many separate branches. The concept behind FCEUX is to merge elements from FCE Ultra, FCEU rerecording, FCEUXD, FCEUXDSP, and FCEU-mm into a single branch of FCEU. 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.
