- [FAMICOM] Added hack to prevent crashing.  Marked as not working.  [Nate Woods]

 

- [MAC] Moved Mac video code off of videomap.c.  [Nate Woods]

- [VTECH1] Added support for the 64k memory expansion, and cartridge support. [Dirk Best]

 

User Interface Changes:

---------------------------

- Fixed a file manager bug that prevented the last item from being selected. [telengard]

 

Imgtool Changes:

--------------------

- VZDOS images now supported.  [Dirk Best]

 

- The "dir" command will display "

" for directories.  [Nate Woods]

 

- [FAT] Now supports FAT file systems without an extended BIOS parameter block.  [Nate Woods]

 

Source Changes:

-------------------

- The core is based on MAME 0.105.  This incorporates all features of the update to this core.  [MAME team]

 

- Changed how devices work.  Device command line options are now on a per device basis, and now identify the index within a device.  Therefore, you now might invoke MESS like this:

 

mess mysystem -flop1 foo.dsk -flop2 bar.dsk

 

  Also, drivers now have the ability to specify the string to be used for the command line option.  This allows multiple devices of the same type to be viable.  (bugs #711, #839) [Nate Woods]

 

- Fixed WD17XX side select option; this prevented some copy protection schemes from being properly emulated.  (bug #863) [Nate Woods]

 

- Fixed a bug that caused image creation to crash in certain situations. (bug #858) [Nate Woods]

 

- Eliminated the unknown and unused -listtext and -createdir command line options.  [Nate Woods]

 

- Cleaned up auto_malloc() calls.  [Oliver Stoeneberg]

NOT WORKING!? OH NOES!!!

I only use it to emulate various Z80-based home computers, and they work well enough.

My first cartridge game system was ColecoVision, and MESS does it pretty decently. Also, it's just nice to be able to see what all those systems were like.
