It’s difficult to cover such work, because while there have been improvements (such as the horn sound in the Micro Machines games on the Genesis) it’s not a case of me being able to put up screenshots and have the changes leap out at you. Some of the most important developments in MAME’s timeline have happened over the last year, such as Aaron’s rewrite of the Yamaha FM sound cores, finally putting them under a more obviously free license in the form of the BSD, rather than the GPL which required users to keep their source open, which was problem for a lot of commercial users, or the older license which didn’t allow any kind of commercial use at all. So far the pace of the year has been quite different to 2020, not necessarily slower, but in terms of what can be covered it ends up looking that way. There have been updates over on the 2021 page to the left but a lot of the general chit-chat now takes place on my streams. Ok, so the front page of this blog is looking rather neglected.
