purtroppo c'erano pure stati ulteriori progressi (ad es. sull'n64 che torna a funzionare sia su CPU a 32 che a 64 bit), ma purtroppo non sono inclusi.

a chi vuole seguire i miglioramenti, suggerisco le build giornaliere di Bobz!

tanto per rendere piu' succulenta l'attesa del MESS 0.142, magari potete dare un'occhiata ad alcuni dei progressi recenti:

* il mega cd / sega cd ora funziona: vedere http://mamedev.emulab.it/haze/ & http://mamedev.emulab.it/kale/?p=1360



* la PSX comincia a fare andare giochi commerciali (oltre ai demo, che andavano da anni), anche se ci sono ancora dei problemi con i joypad e alcuni giochi non leggono gli input: vedere http://rbelmont.mameworld.info e





* lo sconosciutissimo computer jappo SMC-777 ha ceduto alle fatiche di Kale, ed e' ora emulato quasi perfettamente ( http://mamedev.emulab.it/kale/?p=1365 )
