Emulator: Mame106Minimix 1.2b (update)
The Multi Arcade Machine Emulator (MAME) emulates numerous arcade machines. After conversions for MorphOS and AmigaOS 4 as well as various, mostly older 68k ports, there has been another project for AmigaOS 3.1 since last year with Mame106Minimix, which however requires a very fast computer (68060 processor with 64 MB or actually designed for PiStorm extensions).
The port of MAME version 0.106, which dates back to 2006, is now available in version 1.2 and offers various optimizations, bug fixes and improvements, such as an optional “NewLowLevel” patch, which is required for some Amiga 2000 configurations.
Update: (28.03.2025, 06:10, dr)
Version 1.2b is now available.
