Another update to MAME 0.123 has just been posted on the updates page. Have fun checking out the Naomi progress and other cool stuff!
MAME is a multi-purpose emulation framework.
MAME’s purpose is to preserve decades of software history. As electronic technology continues to rush forward, MAME prevents this important "vintage" software from being lost and forgotten. This is achieved by documenting the hardware and how it functions. The source code to MAME serves as this documentation. The fact that the software is usable serves primarily to validate the accuracy of the documentation (how else can you prove that you have recreated the hardware faithfully?). Over time, MAME (originally stood for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) absorbed the sister-project MESS (Multi Emulator Super System), so MAME now documents a wide variety of (mostly vintage) computers, video game consoles and calculators, in addition to the arcade video games that were its initial focus.

The first update to MAME 0.123 is now available on the Source Updates page.
Most of the glitches in 0.122u8 should be taken care of, so it's time to salute MAME's 11th birthday with a nice new release.
(Apologies in advance for the cut-off text in the whatsnew; it should read "Fixed incorrect default screen size in midyunit games." It wasn't a big enough error to prompt a recall!)
Seems that 0.122u8 went out with a little typo I introduced. Here's a quick fix for it. Please stop the carnage at MAMETesters and report any further issues found once this patch is applied....
The last update before 0.123 is now available. A few new bug fixes and a lot of nice cleanups of older drivers in this round.
Time for another MAME update. Another dozen bugs squashed and bunch more fixes/improvements, spelled out in excruciating detail in the whatsnew.txt.
And no, I don't think we'll go up to 11, but there's at least one more update expected before 0.123 is ready.
This just in ... a new update to MAME 0.122. This one brings with it 26 more MAMETesters bugfixes and a lot of nice driver cleanups. We'll probably stay on 0.122 until the end of bugfix month, and wrap it up with a 0.123 sometime around the 11th anniversary....
