Wine 1.1.0 is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X, OpenGL, and Unix. Think of Wine as a compatibility layer for running Windows programs. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely free alternative implementation of the Windows API consisting of 100% non-Microsoft code, however Wine can optionally use native Windows DLLs if they are available. Wine provides both a development toolkit for porting Windows source code to Unix as well as a program loader, allowing many unmodified Windows programs to run on x86-based Unixes, including Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and Solaris. Wine 1.1.0 has the following changes:
Model 2 Emulator (m2emulator) is a SEGA Model 2, SEGA Model 2A, SEGA Model 2B and SEGA Model 2C arcade game Emulator for Windows by ElSemi.
Here it is, MAME 0.125u8;, the six “U” release of the MAME 0.126 cycle. A major bug crept into MAME V0.125u7 release at the last second, please grab the small update to MAME 0.125u8. There will still be a MAME V0.125u9 next week, and hopefully a MAME 0.126 to follow shortly thereafter. An important note about this release: inclusion of debugging support in MAME is no longer optional. That is, you can still disable it (using the -nodebug option, or setting ‘debug’ to 0 in your mame.ini file), but you can no longer compile without it. This will give a small-ish performance hit (under 5% in most cases) in exchange for always being able to pull up the debugger and will reduce the test matrix necessary to verify MAME’s behavior. A list of changes in MAME 0.125u8 over the previous release is as follows:

Sam is a new SONY PSP Emulator for Windows. This version of SAM (PSP Emulator for Wind0ws), now runs ALL homebrew according to the author. Download at our PSP emulator page.
the author will submit the driver the MAMEDev
the communication work between CPU and 3D DSP should be limited to the master M68000, if the address mapping is done in the shared memory, master CPU would be disturbed by the slave one.Left, center and right screens have separate programs and boards, each would work independantly, how these 3 boards communicate and coordinate is yet unknown.
About projection angles of left and right screen. The angle is correct on “DRIVER’S EYES” title screen, however in the tracks of demo mode it doesn’t seem correct.
The game also features a pretty nice 2D sprite layer, which still doesn’t show up yet.
it is known that the CPU does constantly feed the 2D video memory some meaningful and logical data. mame system21 driver does not emulate this 2D sprite layer, we have to use namcoic and namco system-II emulator instead, possibly they are not compatible with system21.
