Besides Yosemite compatibility, this release overhauls the user interface - with shortcuts in the dock and the CrossOver app for individual Windows apps drawing particular attention in the announcement.
As is MAME Launcher.ĬodeWeavers has released version 14.0.0 (since updated to 14.0.1) of its commercial Wine-based Windows application/game wrapper tool CrossOver. And if you want a proper frontend and launcher, QMC2 is all synced up with the latest builds. For everyone else, the OS X SDL ports are still available here. Would-be contributors and those of you who compile from source note that the code repository is now on GitHub. As always, the list of changes is huge for MAME and slightly less-huge for MESS. Speaking of MAME and MESS, they're now at version 0.155. While I'm sending you off to read interesting articles about emulation, I might as well throw in David "Haze" Haywood's blog, which always picks out notable changes and discoveries in MAME and MESS development (or UME, if you're running it through Wine or virtualisation) - both in terms of emulation and hardware preservation. New development builds are flying out of the compiler. If you've been holding out on Dolphin for any reason, now's the time to dive in. They've got posts up on August, September, and October. The Dolphin team put together its own progress reports to highlight the gains, and also the new features and bug fixes. So big, in fact, that Wes Fenlon saw fit to write a cool feature article over at PC Gamer on the massive performance boosts brought on by Fiora Aeterna's contributions. Nintendo Gamecube and Wii emulator Dolphin has made some big progress in the past few months. (It's just struggling to stay true to its descriptor.) Fear not, emulation fans: my monthly news roundup is not dead yet.
