e grazie all'aiuto di vari MAMEDev (Kale, Mariusz & Harmony, tra gli altri) la qualità è decisamente elevata
lo trovate al sito
www.mess.orgl'elenco novita comprende tra le altre cose:
* emulazione funzionante del Philips CDi
* emulazione funzionante della Sony Pocket Station
* emulazione funzionante dell'Atari XL

* supporto del BIOS per gbcolor (ora si possono selezionare le palette speciali per i giochi in b&n) e supergb
* miglioramenti notevoli nell'emulazione di Sharp X1, Nintendo NES e N64
* vari giochi del Game.com hanno cominciato a funzionare
* quasi tutti i giochi del Creativision ora vanno (grazie a Madrigal)
* tonnellate di bug sono stati sistemati (ad es. funziona di nuovo l'Amiga CDTV, Super Mario Kart & Pilotwings per SNES sono nuovamente giocabili, il Sega Master System e il GameGear non hanno più alcune imperfezioni grafiche, si può resettare il C16 senza che la grafica risulti corrotta al riavvio, vari giochi per GameBoy Color tra cui Pokemon Pinball hanno ora i colori giusti, ecc.)
