Roberto Fresca has posted news on his MAME driver WIP for Interflip games. InterFlip is a spanish company that manufactured/exported pinballs and class ‘C’ (casino) games. The hardware is composed by two (main and sound) boards driven by a I8039 each. The video and color RAM are addressed through I/O ports and latch tricks due to the I8039 addressing restrictions. The work is mostly from Grull Osgo, and after a lot of work they have all games working properly with sound.
SDLMESS is the SDL port of MESS. As the binaries released for MESS are Windows based, SDLMESS can be compiled on a variety of platforms, including Linux, MacOS, and of course Windows. Download at our MESS page.
MESS is to computers and consoles as MAME is to arcade machines. i.e. It is an attempt to exactly emulate early computer and console systems. It is based primarily on the MAME source code so versions run in parallel to MAME. The reason MESS can use MAME as a basis is that most chips in computers and consoles are direct copies of arcade chips just connected a different way. In the guide you need to be aware of some terminology. If I use the word system it means the computer or console system being emulated. If I use the word BIOS it is meant to be for system roms or BIOS images used to get MESS working. Finally if I use the word software it means the rom/tape/disk etc… image to be loaded onto the system running in MESS. Download at our MESS page.

DEmul was the second Dreamcast emulator for Windows ever to be released that actually played commercial games. DEmul started to development early in 2004 year by Wind, but just Chankcast got canceled. Now DEmul is able to run most commercial releases by various groups all along with homebrew demos and free software. DEmul is still imperfect and incomplete. A lot of work still needed. Sound, timing and graphics need improvement and speed up. This WIP update of DEmul has improved sound support, but this may affect speed especially on slower processors.

Wine 1.1.3 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 1.1.3 has the following changes:
