MESS is a source-available 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.
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.
alternative from mk/jpeg.buildlink3.mk
This allows selection of an alternative jpeg library (namely the x86 MMX,
SSE, SSE2 accelerated libjpeg-turbo) via JPEG_DEFAULT=libjpeg-turbo, and
follows the current standard model for alternatives (fam, motif, fuse etc).
The mechanical edits were applied via the following script:

upstream changelog:
3.2.1 to 3.2.2: (September 17, 2010)
* Fixed bug with window centering; if enabled and the the window was
larger than the desktop, the window would be moved offscreen.
-Have fun!
3.2 to 3.2.1: (August 25, 2010)
* Improved behaviour of joystick 'hat' movement. This should fix bugs
most visible in Yars' Revenge.
* Fixed bug in debugger rewind states; bankswitching wasn't being
performed during the rewind. Related to this, fixed a similar issue
with the debugger 'loadstate' and 'savestate' commands.
* Added game properties info and snapshot for the newly released
'Halo 2600' ROM.
3.1.2 to 3.2: (August 20, 2010)
* NOTE: because of the many event-related changes in this release, all
event mapping should be reset to defaults after starting Stella for
the first time. As well, because of other internal changes, older
save-state files are no longer valid.
* Many improvements to joystick handling code, particularly for analog
axes. Navigating the UI should be much smoother now, and remapping
events to analog axes should be less 'twitchy'.
* Added ability to assign and remap 'combo' events in emulation mode.
Combo events are basically a sequence of normal events (up to 8)
that are generated from a single event (ie, one button on a joystick
could generate up to 8 events). Updated Input Settings UI to
access and modify these events.
* Default mappings are now available in UI and emulation mode for the
first 'hat' detected on a joystick/gamepad. Related to this, a hat
now works exactly like an axis in UI mode (holding down a direction
continues that direction until the hat is released/centered).
* Several major improvements to the debugger:
- the disassembler can now process multiple entry points, and
caches entry points as they're encountered (ie, the disassembly
isn't 'reset' each time a bank change occurs or you exit and
re-enter the debugger)
- preliminary support for disassembling from zero-page RAM
- re-added ability to change banks with the 'bank' debugger
prompt command and within the ROM disassembly UI
- user labels in disassembly are now supported again
- 'runto' command is now case-insensitive, and shows a progressbar
while searching through the disassembly
- the debugger window can be resized between ROM loads (previously,
the app had to be restarted)
- fixed bug in Distella disassembler output, where it sometimes
generated addresses above $FFFF
- a vertical line separates the disassembly from the raw bytes
* Fixed behaviour of SWCHB and SWBCNT; pins set to output now remember
the values previously written. Some ROMs use this functionality for
extra storage. Special thanks to Omegamatrix of AtariAge for advice
and test ROMs in this area.
* Fixed bug when reading from illegal TIA addresses; a Space Invaders
hack was showing pink enemies instead of white ones. Again, special
thanks to to Omegamatrix of AtariAge for advice and test ROMs in this
area.
* Fixed bug in handling INPT4/INPT5 latches from VBLANK; a least one
ROM was working in Stella when it didn't on real hardware.
* Added 'ramrandom' commandline argument, which is used to randomize
all RAM in the system; otherwise, the RAM is zeroed.
* Added 'finishing touches' to some of the UI descriptions, giving a
better explanation of the functions. Related to this, certain
options now show a message box explaining the option in further
detail (particularly the ROM Audit mode). As well, when starting
Stella for the first time, a prompt appears to select a ROM
directory.
* Fixed bugs in the ROM launcher when viewing certain PNG images not
created by Stella. Related to this, the official PNG library is now
included in the Stella codebase (version 1.4.3). Also added composite
snapshots for those ROMs which consist of several games. Thanks go
to Buzbard of AtariAge for these images.
* Added several fixes for crashes on 'small' systems (those systems
where the maximum resolution is less than 640x480).
* Tweaked bankswitch autodetection for 0840, DPC+, E7 and UA schemes.
* Improved F8 bankswitch autodetection for Yars Revenge in 8in1 ROM.
* Updated DPC+ bankswitch scheme to latest specifications.
* Snapshots taken in continuous snapshot mode are now timestamped, so
older files are never overwritten.
* Fixed a TIA segfault that could occur with certain ROMs.
* The 'center' application window functionality can now be changed
without having to restart the application. Related to this, mouse
positioning bugs when using the Linux version in OpenGL mode with
SDL 1.2.14 have been fixed.
* Reworked the manual, dividing it into 'Getting Started' and
'Advanced Configuration' sections. It still contains the same info
as before, but hopefully in a better organized way.
* Updated Help dialog; it was showing incorrect info for some OSX
shortcuts.
* Updated OSX build script to not crash when a previous build is
detected, and to properly handle filenames with spaces.
* Updated included ZLib to latest release version (1.2.5).
3.1.1 to 3.1.2: (May 3, 2010)
* Modified 'showinfo' command to accept levels of output, where
increasingly larger numbers provide more debug output. Related to
this, added UI item to modify 'showinfo'.
* Updated DPC+ bankswitch scheme to latest specifications, including
support for 32K ROMs with ARM code (the ARM code is ignored for now).
* Fixed bug in saving patched ROMs using DPC and DPC+ bankswitch
schemes; the saved image didn't actually include any changes made by
the user.
* Removed 'uselauncher' from the UI, since disabling it will remove
the ROM launcher on all future runs, and not allow one to enable it
again. It's still available from the commandline, for those that
have a need for it.
3.1 to 3.1.1: (April 26, 2010)
* Fixed program crash when using RIOT addresses and labels in the
debugger console prompt.
* Updated DPC+ bankswitch scheme to latest specifications.
3.0 to 3.1: (April 22, 2010)
* Fixed a major bug with text drawing in software rendering mode.
Switching between windowed and fullscreen mode while text was being
shown could result in garbled text or even a program crash.
* Fixed issues when using 'sleep' timing, whereby a lockup could occur
when changing video modes, and/or Stella would consume more CPU time
than was necessary.
* Integrated Distella disassembler, completely replacing the previous
disassembler. The entire infrastructure has not been completely
ported yet. As a result, labels defined by the user or from a
DASM symbol file aren't actually used in the disassembly, and almost
all distella config options are disabled. These will be addressed in
a future release.
* Completely reworked the debugger cartridge interface, so that
the disassembly is dynamic (ie, the debugger tracks when cart address
space has changed, and automatically performs a re-disassembly).
* All carts with extended RAM that differentiate between read and write
ports now behave correctly when a read from the write port occurs.
* Added more complete support for the more esoteric bankswitch
schemes in the debugger. These schemes now support accurate
disassembly and ROM patch functionality. Related to this, fixed a
bug in disassembler view when a failure to patch a ROM still showed
the (incorrect) patched results.
* Added ability to disable TIA object collisions, independent of
enabling/disabling the objects. Previously, one had to completely
disable an object to avoid collisions, but now an object can be
enabled (and seen) but still have its collisions disabled. These
actions are tied to the same keys as the enable ones, except the
'Shift' key is also used.
* Added preliminary support for 'DPC+' bankswitching scheme, thanks to
Darrell Spice Jr and Fred Quimby.
* Added '16in1' bankswitching scheme, which works with various
ROMs labeled '128-in-1 ...' (the database has been updated for
these). Related to this, switching between multicart ROMs for 2in1,
4in1, 8in1, 16in1 and 32in1 now shows a UI message indicating which
ROM is active.
* Reverted some of the TIA improvements with respect to 'starfield
effect' as seen in "Cosmic Ark" and "Stay Frosty". The emulation is
now more accurate as compared to the majority of consoles in use.
* Added debugger pseudo-register '_rwport', which traps on a read from
the write port. This differentiates from reads that are normally
part of a write cycle (ie, it traps only on inadvertent reads).
* Added 'resolvedata' commandline argument and associated UI item, used
to set the "resolve data sections" config option in Distella
(vs. treating all address space as code).
* Added 'runtopc' debugger command, used to step until encountering the
given program counter. This is also available in the ROM disassembly
UI from the right-click context menu.
* Added 'listfunctions' and 'delfunction' debugger commands to
access/remove user-defined functions. Related to this, fixed a bug
in 'function' command that could cause a program crash.
* Added 'cls' debugger command, used to erase the text and history
from the debugger prompt.
* Removed the 'listwatches' and 'poke' debugger commands, as they
were redundant.
* Removed the 'loadlst' debugger command and the ability to use a
DASM .lst file. This code was incomplete, and no longer fits with
the recent disassembler improvements. Support for this may return
in a future release.
* Modified 'disasm' debugger command to accept a second argument
indicating the number of lines to disassemble.
* Improved tab-completion in the debugger prompt; it now completes
on functions and pseudo-registers.
* Added emulation of the "Sega Genesis" controller, with two buttons
that are directly supported on a real system.
* The ZLib library is now included in the core code, so Windows
developers no longer have to track down the ZLIBWAPI archive.
* Many changes to the MacOS X port, bringing it more in line with
other systems:
The application is now known as 'Stella' (instead of StellaOSX).
Two versions are available: the first is a 32-bit Universal Binary
for OSX 10.4 - 10.6, and the second is 32/64-bit Intel-only for
OSX 10.6 (aka Snow Leopard). The Intel version is compiled with the
very latest compiler (LLVM/Clang), resulting in better performance.
The keyboard handling is changed to match other systems in terms of
where the keys actually are on the keyboard (ie, the OSX Command key
corresponds to Alt, and the OSX Control key corresponds to Control).
The application menu has been cleaned up and simplified, and it
now shows the correct shortcuts for menu items.
The settings file is now (according to Apple standards)
'~/Library/Preferences/net.sourceforge.Stella.plist'.
The base directory (where all other Stella stuff is located) is now
'~/Library/Application Support/Stella'.
Because of these changes, all your settings will have to be entered
again.
* Added 'ctrlcombo' commandline argument, which toggles the use of the
control key as a modifier key. This is useful if you want to press
'Control' and 'R' in a two player game, and not have the combination
treated as 'Control-R' (which will issue a ROM reload).
* Added 'usemouse' commandline argument and associated UI item. This
toggles the use of the mouse as a controller of any type.
* Added 'uimessages' commandline argument and associated UI item.
This toggles showing of UI messages overlaid on the screen.
Critical messages are still shown, though.
* Added ability to take multiple snapshots in a given interval every
x seconds. This is currently tied to the 'Alt-s' key and is not
remappable (for now). The interval can be set with the 'ssinterval'
commandline argument and within the UI, and defaults to 2.
* Many changes to the FrameBuffer and UI code for 'smaller' systems.
Stella will now scale correctly to small screens, down to 320x240
(which is the absolute lower limit supported). Related to this,
added 'maxres' commandline argument, which is useful for developers
testing on such systems.
* The About dialog now shows the version of SDL in use, and the type
of CPU the application is running on (i386, x86_64, etc).
* Improved 'listrominfo' commandline argument to list all information
from Stella's internal ROM database, including a heading. This
output can be imported into a spreadsheet or database program.
* Renamed 'tiafloat' commandline argument to 'tiadriven'. The
emulation of the behaviour of floating TIA pins is also much more
accurate.
* Reworked state files so that they're associated with the cartridge
type used, not the MD5sum of the ROM. This is useful for developers,
since the same state file can now be loaded from different ROMs,
as long as the cart type stays the same. This also fixes a bug
where loading from a non-existent state file could cause Stella
to crash. Because of these changes, old state files will no longer
work.
* Fixed bug in certain editable text fields, where pressing Return/Enter
would disable any further input.
Emulation:
- IDE improvements:
- Support for second drive (IDE slave)
- WIN_FORMAT command (allows HD Driver to format IDE drives)
- GEMDOS HDD emulation:
- Minor fixes to Fseek(), Fopen(), Fdatime() (e.g. Pure debugger works)
- On TOS v4 Fread() size arg is unsigned, on earlier TOS its signed
(bad code can use -1L to read whole file instead getting fail on TOS4)
- Prevent DTA and read/write functions accessing invalid memory areas
- Programs can now change read-only files to be writable
- Falcon sound emulation:
- Microphone (jack) emulation in Falcon mode (requires portaudio library)
- SSI direct sound entrance ("Audio Fun Machine" and winrec are working)
- DMA sound recording
- Crossbar handshake mode transfers
- Max VDI rez increased to TT-hi size (1280x960)
- 68020+FPU changed to 68EC030+FPU (no MMU 030) for Falcon and TT modes
(Some Falcon programs didn't work with 020)
- Video emulation on STF/STE:
- correctly shift the screen 4 pixels to the left when left border is removed
- add support for STE's 224 bytes overscan line without stabilizer
- when reading $ff8205/07/09 on STE, take into account the value
of horizontal scrolling/prefetch and linewidth
- when writing to $ff8205/07/09 on STE, correctly handle the case
where the write is made while display in ON
- LMC1992 emulation / STE sound filtering
0.8.D.2:
NES: Fixed a crash on certain x86_64 platforms(Mac OS X),
due to the sound filtering code dereferencing 32-bit
registers instead of 64-bit registers as it should have.
0.8.D.1:
Fixed a compilation error on gcc 4.5(thanks to hanno for
pointing it out).
0.8.D:
SMS: Some state that wasn't being saved in save states
now is, which should fix netplay desynch problems with
SMS/GG games.
Fixed a couple of remotely-exploitable(if connected to a
malicious server) stack manipulation bugs in the network
play code.
Fixed an incorrect object creation bug in pce/adpcm.cpp.
NES: Added a missing CPU emulator variable to save states.
PCE: Added a missing CPU emulator variable to save states.
0.8.D-rc1:
Lynx: Fixed a bug in the cart loader code that would cause
a crash if the ROM bank size was larger than the actual
data available in the file(as is the case with some homebrew
programs). Thanks to "Wookie" for the patch.
Build files were regenerated using autoconf 2.64 and aclocal
1.11(previously, they were generated with autoconf 2.61
and aclocal 1.10.1).
Fixed a crashing problem when entering an invalid menu
choice("0") in the cheat interface. Thanks to tsenart for
reporting the bug.
GB: The GameBoy module now respects the "filesys.disablesavegz"
setting in respect to saved battery-backed RAM.
Added support for "lurkers" on the network play server.
Previous versions of Mednafen don't lack support for this
per se, but there would be cosmetic issues with status
messages printed to the internal console.
SexyAL: Fixed a bug affecting the return value from
RawCanWrite() in the ALSA driver. The returned value was
typically too small by a factor of 4. The effects of this
bug included potential long periods of garbled sound during
netplay.
Fixed the return value from RawCanWrite() in the JACK
driver. It was being clamped to a value that was too small
by a factor of 4; however, the clamp value was already
excessively large in a way that this bug would should have
only been triggered if the "soundbufsize" setting was
excessively large. The effects of this bug would be similar
to the ALSA RawCanWrite() bug.
The ALSA and OSS drivers will now try to set audio output
to 2 channels if the source data only has 1 channel, and
16-bit signed if the source data is 8-bit(automatic conversion
is done). This is done to allow for lower period/fragment
sizes, as, in ALSA's internals at least, the minimum period
sizes are expressed in bytes, not sound frames.
The ALSA and OSS drivers will now try to set lower
period/fragment sizes than previous versions of Mednafen
did. With default settings, for ALSA, the new period/fragment
size is 50% of what it was before, and for OSS, 25%. Also,
there's a new setting to override the SexyAL's driver's
preferred period/fragment sizes, named "sound.period_time"(default
value of 0: no override). The period/fragment size is
expressed in microseconds. If the new, lower fragment
sizes cause problems, the setting can be changed to "2666"
to approximate the fragment size selection in previous
versions of Mednafen when using ALSA output, and "5333"
when using OSS output.
Added a workaround to the OSS driver for a bug in ALSA(and
hence, ALSA's in-kernel OSS emulation) that could cause
the emulator to run far too fast for a short period of time
if a buffer underflow occurred.
The ALSA's driver's RawCanWrite() method now(finally) uses
snd_pcm_avail_update() instead of snd_pcm_delay(). This
should improve performance and frameskipping behavior when
the ALSA output is not routed directly to a physical device,
such as the case with PulseAudio(though PulseAudio is still
not recommended :b). CVS:
