It looks like MAME 0.273 has made it just in time for the end of 2024! First of all, if you want to build MAME with Microsoft’s IDE, you’ll need to switch to Visual Studio 2022 and ensure you have an up-to-date version of the Visual C++ compiler. (There’s lots more useful information about building MAME from source code on the relevant documentation page.)

Microcontrollers for Sun Electronics Kangaroo and Data East E.D.F.: Earth Defense Force have been dumped and emulated. This fixes several issues where the simulation was incorrect for Kangaroo, affecting gameplay and sound. Speaking of which, there have been quite a few fixes for sound issues in arcade games this month.

Regional variants of the Apple II computer line allowed the user to switch between US English mode and local mode, affecting the display character set and the keyboard layout. This release greatly improves support for language selection and adds support for several European Apple IIe and Apple IIc variants. In other Apple emulation news, the ’030-based PowerBook series is coming to life: you might want to try out the PowerBook 140, 160, 170 and 180 or variants thereof.

There’s lots more in this release, including more Amiga sound and video cards, CPU emulation fixes, and better DMA behaviour for emulated Sound Blaster cards. You can read about all the exciting developments in the whatsnew.txt file, or get the source code and 64-bit Windows binary packages from the download page.
