  • HowTo Geek ☛ MAME Can Now Emulate More Classic Computers

    The MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) development team has released version 0.270 of the popular emulation software. This update adds several systems, including the Zoomer PDA, one of the first PDAs to include software developed by Palm Computing.

    Unlike other updates that have focused on games, this update is focused on getting MAME to handle the emulation of older and more obscure systems. It also adds support for more Apple II input peripherals and hard-sectored floppy disk formats. It also expands storage options for computers from the S-100 era. The biggest part of this update is the addition of the Hitachi Basic Master Jr, which represents the Japanese home computer market of the early 1980s. A lesser-known system, The Super A'Can, was UMC's attempt to compete with Sega and Nintendo in the mid-1990s. This system has improved but is still not yet considered completely functional.
