It’s time for MAME 0.218, the first MAME release of 2020! We’ve added a couple of very interesting alternate versions of systems this month. One is a location test version of NMK’s GunNail, with different stage order, wider player shot patterns, a larger player hitbox, and lots of other differences from the final release. The other is The Last Apostle Puppetshow, an incredibly rare export version of Home Data’s Reikai Doushi. Also significant is a newer version Valadon Automation’s Super Bagman. There’s been enough progress made on Konami’s medal games for a number of them to be considered working, including Buttobi Striker, Dam Dam Boy, Korokoro Pensuke, Shuriken Boy and Yu-Gi-Oh Monster Capsule. Don’t expect too much in terms of gameplay though — they’re essentially gambling games for children. There are several major computer emulation advances in this release, in completely different areas. Possibly most exciting is the ability to install and run Windows NT on the MIPS Magnum R4000 “Jazz” workstation, with working networking. With the assistance of Ash Wolf, MAME now emulates the Psion Series 5mx PDA. Psion’s EPOC32 operating system is the direct ancestor of the Symbian operating system, that powered a generation of smartphones. IDE and SCSI hard disk support for Acorn 8-bit systems has been added, the latter being one of the components of the BBC Domesday Project system. In PC emulation, Windows 3.1 is now usable with S3 ViRGE accelerated 2D video drivers. F.Ulivi has contributed microcode-level emulation of the iSBC-202 floppy controller for the Intel Intellec MDS-II system, adding 8" floppy disk support. Of course there are plenty of other improvements and additions, including re-dumps of all the incorrectly dumped GameKing cartridges, disassemblers for PACE, WE32100 and “RipFire” 88000, better Geneve 9640 emulation, and plenty of working software list additions. You can get the source and 64-bit Windows binary packages from the download page (note that 32-bit Windows binaries and “zip-in-zip” source code are no longer supplied).

It’s time for MAME 0.218, the first MAME release of 2020! We’ve added a couple of very interesting alternate versions of systems this month. One is a location test version of NMK’s GunNail, with different stage order, wider player shot patterns, a larger player hitbox, and lots of other differences from the final release. The other is The Last Apostle Puppetshow, an incredibly rare export version of Home Data’s Reikai Doushi. Also significant is a newer version Valadon Automation’s Super Bagman. There’s been enough progress made on Konami’s medal games for a number of them to be considered working, including Buttobi Striker, Dam Dam Boy, Korokoro Pensuke, Shuriken Boy and Yu-Gi-Oh Monster Capsule. Don’t expect too much in terms of gameplay though — they’re essentially gambling games for children. There are several major computer emulation advances in this release, in completely different areas. Possibly most exciting is the ability to install and run Windows NT on the MIPS Magnum R4000 “Jazz” workstation, with working networking. With the assistance of Ash Wolf, MAME now emulates the Psion Series 5mx PDA. Psion’s EPOC32 operating system is the direct ancestor of the Symbian operating system, that powered a generation of smartphones. IDE and SCSI hard disk support for Acorn 8-bit systems has been added, the latter being one of the components of the BBC Domesday Project system. In PC emulation, Windows 3.1 is now usable with S3 ViRGE accelerated 2D video drivers. F.Ulivi has contributed microcode-level emulation of the iSBC-202 floppy controller for the Intel Intellec MDS-II system, adding 8" floppy disk support.

Hans Carl Artmann - Blind Chance and Roast Duck [Translated by Malcolm Green]
Published in Beneath Black Stars: Contemporary Austrian Short Stories, edited by Martin Chalmers (Serpents Tail, 2002)
He slipped sheepishly out of the casino, listlessly breathed in the mild evening air; he had had it up to here, once and for all. What monstrous fate, what dark, unlucky star led me to that luxury dive, what ill-omened cutpurse of a guardian angel deserted me there? Heaven only knows, sixty thousand francs are not a sparrow's sneeze, that's money if ever there was, a modest fortune for a none too modest person - and modest, no, he was far from being that. He suddenly felt a desire for roast duck and remembered a small but elegant restaurant on the other side of the Rhone; it lay secluded among the trees on the meadows, but a string of bright fairy lights made it easy to find again. Imagine how many roast ducks I could have ordered for that sixty grand, he reflected bitterly, and he leafed with almost lofty grief through his remaining bank notes; in less than two hours, Devil take them, I've frittered away nothing short of three whole farms full of the things for nothing and yet again nothing, tossed the living of three hard-working poultry breeders behind the croupier's greedy rake, smoked my way through about a hundred untipped cigarettes despite my somewhat ropey lungs, really punished my heart, which has never functioned that well, not even in my tender youth, enriched my slightly greying temples with a wealth of silver, stuck to my place at that damned roulette table despite a terrible, pressing urge, cast this irrefutable warning cry of a kindly genius recklessly to the wind and resisted going to the toilet - God knows, had I visited that quiet marble sanctum of reflection I might be standing on the banks of this nocturnal river feeling a lot happier than I am now, would be able to eat my duck with more relish, wouldn't be forced to blast a bullet through my brains and be a ghastly surprise to some early-morning stroller ... Suddenly he remembered all that he had still omitted to attend to and stepped into the darkness of the bushes by the river. It is perhaps apt to recall at this point that Lord Ch. (the author wishes to conceal his full name out of due piety) likewise saw to a pressing call of nature before slitting his guzzle with a cut-throat. Mr Alphonse was in no such haste, though, and was content to first eat his farewell duck by subdued candlelight, knock back a couple of bottles of Beaujolais and smoke a strong Havana, a thing he had longed to do in recent years but had never dared owing to his pleuritic state - now, he thought, full of resolve, would be just the right moment, because as they say in the country: if the cow's dead may the calf perish as well. He stepped out of the bushes, still adjusting his flies, and set out steadfastly in the direction of the restaurant, which was only five minutes away on the other side of the bridge. He walked across the bridge lost in thoughts that now revolved, but far from glumly, around the exquisite duck, and was passing yet another alder thicket when, suddenly, he heard a click, and then another, followed by a third. This was followed by an indefinable curse in Hungarian, which is to say: he was unable to grasp the meaning of this exclamation of rage, but as a man of learning he was able to assign it instantaneously to that particular branch of the Finno-Ugric group. A black object described an arc through the air from the bushes, and landed just far enough away from his feet not to blemish the patent of his toecaps. He bent down to the nocturnal object and gave it an enquiring look: the Devil, it was a handy little revolver, although he was unable to distinguish the make on account of the dark. He picked up the metallic equalizer; it rested exquisitely in his hand ... He weighed it pensively and turned his gaze back to the alders, which now parted to reveal an elegantly dressed gentleman. The moon had just emerged from the clouds, the alder leaves began to shimmer like silk, the gentleman who had just appeared gave a short bow and politely introduced himself: Ferencsi Bela is my name, he said. Alphonse Alphonse, replied Mr Alphonse, and he gave a similarly short bow. You must excuse me, but my dear father thought it amusing, so it would seem, to give me our family name as my first name, a fact that has frequently earned me over-hasty disapproval. I am not much better off with my name, replied the distinguished Hungarian, people always write it wrongly, I am sick and tired of having to spell it out, I allow everyone to write it the way they like and simply adjust myself to the quirks of one nation after the other, from one language to the next. Just recently in Thailand ... he broke off for a moment and looked at the revolver, which was still resting on the other's outstretched palm. A useless piece of rubbish, he said with a certain bitterness, that an unscrupulous gunrunner in Lyon fobbed me off with, failed to go off three times in a row, quite incredible. Would you permit me to give it a try, asked Mr Alphonse. Be my guest, the Hungarian replied, it's all yours; I merely regret that I am unable to place any more sensible weapon than this at your disposal. Mr Alphonse directed the gun's purportedly lethal muzzle at his temple, thought wistfully once more of the roast duck, and gave the trigger a resolute squeeze. Click! A dud, clack! a dud, click! Shit, the thought flashed through Mr Alphonse's mind, the selfsame word that he had previously heard, if not comprehended, in Hungarian - being as that is a foreign language. There, what did I tell you? the Magyar said, not without a touch of pride, that fellow in Lyon talked me into buying something that I wouldn't have second thoughts about handing, fully loaded, to my little nephew in Munich as a plaything. That'd be an idea, said Mr Alphonse. Mr Ferencsi gave a grin full of dark melancholy, his moustache twisted in the moonlight into a fantastic arabesque - I have nothing more in my wallet, he said with astonishing candour, than fifty-five francs fifty, just enough to get me back to Lyon and deal that gunrunner a resounding slap round the ear. It no longer suffices though for Munich, could hitchhike I suppose... There again, who'd be likely to take me in this get-up, he added, running his fingertips down the front of his immaculate dress shirt. I have lost exactly sixty thousand francs in the casino - roulette, said Mr Alphonse. And I, reciprocated Mr Ferencsi quite truthfully, seventy-seven thousand at baccarat; there is no alternative for me than to do away with myself, as the pretty saying goes! I would love, said Mr Alphonse in turn, to be able to assist you with my weapon, which I carry constantly in my breast pocket in order that the ensuing bulge will command respect in ruffianly gaming circles; however, I have only one bullet, and since I am similarly bent on blowing out my brains, as the pretty expression goes, I am unable to offer it to you, much as I regret it. A shame, said Mr Ferencsi, slightly piqued. Mr Alphonse, who evidently noted this, placed a friendly left arm on the shoulder of the Hungarian's tailcoat and with his right tossed the man's gun into the trembling alders. My dear sir, he said, my revolver is of a completely different calibre to yours, cross my heart, I'm no skinflint and had our weapons been of the same calibre I would have shared it with you immediately after my demise. How many shots do you have? The wretched thing is a six-shooter and fully loaded, replied the Hungarian humbly. Parbleu! exclaimed Mr Alphonse, what a masterstroke of a truly contemptible fate! He looked at his pocket watch. Damnation, nine thirty already... and to the Hungarian: My dear Sir, what would you say to roast duck? Roast duck? My dear Sir, I could think of nothing more admirable, my dear grey-haired grandmother not excluded! Permit me to invite you, Sir, in all due form to a roast duck and a couple of bottles of Beaujolais. Doubtless you know the small but elegant restaurant over there, wickedly expensive but what's the difference; you may have heard the saying here in the country: if the cow's dead may the calf perish as well! There's a similar saying, replied Mr Ferencsi, in my mother tongue, albeit slightly different... The two losers had not taken three steps on their way to their epicurean goal when they heard an abrupt stop! behind them. Astonished, they spun round: standing there in the moonlight, which now gleamed in its full splendour, was a gentleman likewise dressed in tails and holding the Hungarian's discarded revolver in his right hand. Hands up and stay where you are! he called in piercing tones. He seemed ready to do anything. Throw me your wallets, purses, rings and all your more valuable keepsakes - provided they are made of gold, platinum or other precious metals, not forgetting any traveller's cheques you may have, or savings books, tie-pins, ivory cufflinks etcetera etcetera, or I'll fire! Feel free to fire away! Mr Alphonse called in amusement. The third gentleman squeezed the trigger without aiming - he first wanted to try a warning shot. Click! nothing, clack! a dud, click! tarnation ... The tailcoated Dick Turpin threw the revolver on to the gravel road with an Icelandic curse, clapped his hands to his face and began to weep bitterly. I understand, said Mr Alphonse, he has lost at the casino, just like us, and intended for want of a decent weapon to drown himself in the Rhone, then, as the last seconds of his life were ticking away, found that miserable flop in the bushes - and thought that as a real desperado he had discovered a new ray of hope in his hopeless plight. The Icelander, who had been listening to Mr Alphonse's words, blew his nose on a white silk handkerchief and stepped over to his two intended victims: My dear Sirs, he began, what this gentleman here, he pointed to Mr Alphonse, has just sketched out is sadly all too true. I have lost one hundred thousand francs at poker, hell & damnation, everything down to my last sou! Sapristi, that's a tidy sum, said Mr Ferencsi, you may be assured of my heartfelt condolences. Mine too, added Mr Alphonse. They shook hands, introduced themselves - the Icelander's name was Alfönsur Alfönsson, which gave Mr Alphonse almost a feeling of kinship. Do you like duck, dear Mr Alfönsson? he asked the bankrupt Icelander. The latter almost leapt out of his silk socks: at this moment a roast duck would put every thought of my dreadful losses right out of my mind! The problem is that I have, as I already mentioned, not a sou to my name ... The elegant Reykjavikian presented a singular picture of Nordic melancholy in his moonlight-spangled coat... Now it was Mr Ferencsi's turn to weep, as if a gypsy fiddler was playing 'Gloomy Sunday' directly into his ear. My good sir, he cried, I will share my purse with you of my own free will, you shall not go without your roast duck! And I, called Mr Alphonse, I offer you a third of my pecuniary remains - allons, Alfönsur, if I may be so free, over there is a small but extremely elegant duck restaurant; gentlemen, if you will permit me I shall lead the way... The fact that in the confusion of the last few minutes they had taken the wrong way only became clear as they stood before the brightly lit portal of the casino ...
It’s time for MAME 0.218, the first MAME release of 2020! We’ve added a couple of very interesting alternate versions of systems this month. One is a location test version of NMK’s GunNail, with different stage order, wider player shot patterns, a larger player hitbox, and lots of other differences from the final release. The other is The Last Apostle Puppetshow, an incredibly rare export version of Home Data’s Reikai Doushi. Also significant is a newer version Valadon Automation’s Super Bagman. There’s been enough progress made on Konami’s medal games for a number of them to be considered working, including Buttobi Striker, Dam Dam Boy, Korokoro Pensuke, Shuriken Boy and Yu-Gi-Oh Monster Capsule. Don’t expect too much in terms of gameplay though — they’re essentially gambling games for children. There are several major computer emulation advances in this release, in completely different areas. Possibly most exciting is the ability to install and run Windows NT on the MIPS Magnum R4000 “Jazz” workstation, with working networking. With the assistance of Ash Wolf, MAME now emulates the Psion Series 5mx PDA. Psion’s EPOC32 operating system is the direct ancestor of the Symbian operating system, that powered a generation of smartphones. IDE and SCSI hard disk support for Acorn 8-bit systems has been added, the latter being one of the components of the BBC Domesday Project system. In PC emulation, Windows 3.1 is now usable with S3 ViRGE accelerated 2D video drivers. F.Ulivi has contributed microcode-level emulation of the iSBC-202 floppy controller for the Intel Intellec MDS-II system, adding 8" floppy disk support. Of course there are plenty of other improvements and additions, including re-dumps of all the incorrectly dumped GameKing cartridges, disassemblers for PACE, WE32100 and “RipFire” 88000, better Geneve 9640 emulation, and plenty of working software list additions. You can get the source and 64-bit Windows binary packages from the download page (note that 32-bit Windows binaries and “zip-in-zip” source code are no longer supplied).
