NegaMAME 0.242-1
Along with MAME and all its fork, NegaMAME 0.242-1 is also ready for download. Go grab it at http://babelsoft.net/products/negamame.htm
This MAME derivative has been designed to be used with the front-end Negatron in order to have complete access to all the machine configuration options within Negatron, especially useful for emulated computers and consoles.
This is quite irrelevant for emulated arcade games though. If you only play arcade games, you can simply use Negatron with regular MAME.
Note: 0.242-1 must be understood as the 1st version of NegaMAME synchronised with MAME v0.242. If other issues arise with this version, I would release a v0.242-2.

Super Street Fighter II X: Grand Master Challenge Tournament Battle
Been sitting on this secret for many months, but now the cat's out of the bag.
Arcade Atavism, which is a collaboration between myself and fellow rom hacker Grego2d, have been working on a project with Darksoft for the past several months: Super Street Fighter II X: Grand Master Challenge Tournament Battle. This version of Street Fighter II will be on full display at the upcoming Fightcade Offline Festival 2022, running from April 8 - 10, hosted by Mikado Game Center Europe in Tudela, Spain.

Here's a link to the official announcement by Mikado Game Center Europe:

More information will be made available following the conclusion of the tournament.

QMC2 Is Alive / QMC2 0.242 *edited*
https://sourceforge.net/p/qmc2/mailman/message/37633922/
https://github.com/qmc2/qmc2-mame-fe/releases/tag/v0.242
Hi all,
first, I'd like to say thank you since you seem to be very patient with
me - or you went away already. Well, I don't know. Anyway, regarding my
time and health it's now much better, but still imperfect. I've decided
to ignore it, more or less.
So, I've done a number of changes to the project already: QMC2 is now
"hosted" on github.com (https://github.com/qmc2/qmc2-mame-fe) just like
MAME itself, and that includes a number of modifications to work with
git instead svn... if you should have accounts there, perfect. If not,
I'd ask everyone who's interested in the development to create one. We
had about 11 developers over the years at sf.net, some may still want to
contribute.
And I've reworked the directory structure so that it's now "better
readable" (well)... but other than that it should be the same as before,
although I only mean Linux here.
Oh, and it's now (actually for quiet some time) a pure Qt 5+ project. I
haven't had a chance to test Qt 6, though. I would expect it doesn't
work.
Have fun, René

MAME 0.242
MAME 0.242
Today is a bittersweet day. After a quarter of a century, we've decided that it's no longer in our best interests to distribute MAME as Open Source/Free Software. Wait, that's not the right announcement… After many fruitful years, we've come to realise MAME has achieved everything it can. The project is now in maintenance mode, and there will be no new functionality or regular releases. Hang on, that can't be right, either! Happy April Fools' day!
We have an interesting release today in several ways. Yes, the rumours are true, after many years, we've added support for another LaserDisc-based arcade system. It's a system that only ran a single game: Time Traveler, created by Rick Dyer at Virtual Image Productions, starring Stephen Wilber, and published by Sega. This full-motion video game consists of a near-constant stream of quick time events, utilising a mixture of live action video and computer-generated imagery. Although re-living the early '90s corniness is pretty awesome, this is a milestone because it's the first LaserDisc arcade game preserved using the Domesday86 Project toolchain. In short, this involves the use of custom hardware to record the raw radio frequency signal from a LaserDisc player's laser pickup, and then decoding it in software. This frees you from the limitations of LaserDisc player demodulators and video capture devices. As well as better, more consistent video quality, this opens up possibilities like combining multiple captures to overcome disc degradation and laser pickup dropout.
In another first for emulation, MAME 0.242 adds support for systems based on Rockwell B5000 family microcontrollers. This includes several electronic toys from Mattel, and calculators from Rockwell themselves. You'll also find the first working game based on a Sharp SM530 microcontroller: the Star Fox game watch from Nelsonic.
There are plenty of software list updates this month, including recently-released prototype dumps for Mega Drive, NES and Super NES, all the latest Apple II dumps, and some more of the steady stream of Commodore 64 cassettes. ... (Read More)

PfeMAME Version 2.20 Has Been Released Today
This is a major milestone release for pfeMAME with support for the MacOS now being added. I've performed quite a bit of testing and had to manage some conversion / compatibility issues which required a number of control changes due to the different limitations that the MacOS imposes. I'm sure there are still bugs, but hopefully for now it is usable.
While I have pre-built a MacOS distribution, I am unsure if the packaging has properly included all necessary python files rather than just links to files in my own machine. Please let me know how the MacOS build goes for you.
In addition to MacOS support, there are a number of other bug fixes and minor additions. Please check out the changelog file for more detail.
You can download this release from HERE.
Please read the manual as it has everything you need. Please report bugs. You can email mailto:pfemame@gmail.com or use the features on the sourceforge site to create a ticket, leave a review, or chat.
pfeMAME is a front end for the Multiple Arcade Game Emulator (MAME) written in Python. It is cross platform (tested on Linux (Ubuntu), Windows, and MacOS). It also includes a graphical Tile View designed for MAME cabinets which allows control using joystick / gamepad. It supports favorite game flagging, MESS systems, per-rom input mapping, and a Tiled view for arcade cabinets. It was written with a minimalist view in mind but also because there were some features that I wanted that other front ends just didn't provide.

DU News 15.03.2022: Attack Of The Namco System 22 Clones
https://smitdogg.mameworld.info/du/dunews.png
Brian Troha got hold of and dumped a number of Namco System 22 sets. 3 previously undumped revisions were found and several other dumps were confirmed good. Possibly the most interesting of the bunch is a Rev. RRS8 of Ridge Racer 2, which might be an early developmental / test version. The other 2 are Rev. RR2 Ver.B, World of Ridge Racer and Rev. ADV2 Ver.B, World of Ace Driver: Victory Lap.
Victor Fernandez (City Game) dumped an alternate version of Red Hawk (Spain).
Clawgrip provided a dump of Campanilla, a V.Smile Motion cart.
