Mame32 v86 has been released
M37710, NamcoSS22 and C352 improvements [R.Belmont]
M37710 changes (m37710.diff)
NamcoSS22 changes (s22.diff): All CPU clocks changed to measured-by-Guru values, Handle the changed M37710 bus width
Temporarily disconnect shared RAM. There's a problem where the 68020's shared RAM test wipes out the 37710's work variables and causes it to crash
C352 change (c352.diff):
Remove debug printf that accidentally snuck in
SPI Improvements [Ville Linde]
Improved (but not yet correct) tilemap decryption
Preliminary sprite priority support
PowerPC 403 core [Ville Linde, Bart Trzynadlowski, Stefano Teso] This is basically SuperModel (Sega Model 3 emu)'s PPC core minus the FPU and 6xx series specific instructions (that stuff isn't ported to MAME yet).
Virtua Racing improvements [Olivier Galibert, Andrew Gardner]
Hyperstone CPU Core Improvements [Tomasz Slanina, Pierpaolo Prazzoli]
Various Konami PPC based games [Ville Linde] gticlub, gradius4, sscope, sscope2, racingj, racingj2, thrilld, midnrun, windheat
These are to demonstrate the PPC core in action, they contain only very
preliminary emulation and do nothing more than display the initial test
screens.
Cool Riders [David Haywood] skeleton driver, to be continued at a later date
Pit Boss added to merit driver, not investigated the issues yet
Tatakae! Big Fighter [Tomasz Slanina] serious protection issues
Cool Mini: Hyperstone based game, incomplete set

update to PC2E the pcengine emulator
PC2E is a rather new take in pcengine emulation, this nifty program attempts to make use of today's graphic power to enhance the pcengine experience, not only is it leaps ahead of others but the authors tend to keep it free, that is not the case with other emulators. current changes made are:
- - Fixed a major bug that it did not respond to any keyboard input in fullscreen mode on windows2000/XP.
- - Improved CD play command.
- - Improved implementation for joystick input.
- - Speeded up things
- - Changed implementation of "stretched" screen modes. ("stretched" fullscreen mode now attempt to use hardware acceleration)
- - Made a simple configuration program (pc2ecfg.exe)
- - Updated the TOC database.
