MESS 0.137 is out!

Hi

I'm proud to announce my little personal contribution to the best emulator project in the world.

Since a bit after chipsounds 1.0 was released, I started contributing some of my recent research to the open source 'MESS' project on the sound front. My contributions are "without strings attached" as I feel that the research in MAME/MESS is crucial to the good preservation of the history of computing. Besides, the accumulated knowledge in there will surely outlive me :)

"0.137

New System Drivers Supported:
-----------------------------
- Casio PV-1000 [Wilbert Pol, plgDavid]
(...)

System Driver Changes:
----------------------
- [SCV] Implemented upd177c audio. [plgDavid]"


The SCV audio still needs work, so that's not the last effort I will put into it. I've also tweaked the Arcadia 2001 audio code and made it much closer to the real thing. I also plan on revisiting a few other "drivers", when I get the chance, namely the VIC-20.

The MAME/MESS Teams members are very passionate and knowledgeable. I want to take the moment to greet Wilbert Pol, kevtris and Lord Nightmare especially, and to thank them for their time and near infinite knowledge.

  1. As someone who works at a large contemporary museum that deals with New Media, I want to say thank you. You (and everyone else's) contribution to MAME/MESS will greatly help the future preservation of these works.

  2. Thanks!

    I still haven't released my paper on Sound Chip emulation, but a good part of the intro is about the urgency of gathering as much info as possible now before all this goes to junk or dies.
