Obok MAME, jak zwykle pojawiła się również aktualizacja siostrzanego projektu - multiemulatora MESS, pozwalającego zaemulować bardziej lub mniej dokładnie sporą ilość mikrokomputerów 8- i 16-bitowych, konsol, a także tak egzotycznych konstrukcji jak komputery szachowe (przynajmniej w naszej strefie Europy).

Source Changes

- gba: Hblank IRQs do happen on all scanlines, just DMAs don't. [R. Belmont, Endrift]
- abc80: Added cassette sound. [Curt Coder]
- pce/tg16: added default values for pre-formatted BRAM. you could obtain the same result by launching PCE or TG-16 with the CD-SYSTEM cart and entering the BRAM configuration menu (by pressing Select), but it makes sense to be more user-friendly in this case. [Fabio Priuli]
- abc80: Emulated a 16KB RAM card. [Curt Coder]
- abc80: Use Z80 PIO pb7_w. (nw)
- abc80: Emulated the Scandia Metric ABC FD2 floppy controller. [Curt Coder]

- pet: Refactored the Commodore 8050/8250/SFD-1001 to use the new floppy system. [Curt Coder]
- gameboy: removed separate implementation of MBC-1 collection cart, since it is just plain MBC-1 mapper with slightly different address lines wiring. [Tauwasser]
- c64. Added FSD-1 disk drive ROMs. [Ray Carlsen]
- atlantis: added PCI9050 device skeleton. [R. Belmont]
- upd1771: replace waveforms with waveforms extracted from upd1771c-017 internal rom. [Lord Nightmare, plgdavid]
- gameboy: added preliminary emulation of Sachen MMC-1 mapper, based on reverse engineering by Tauwasser. Logo handling not emulated yet (you have to select the "Skip BIOS check" in the System Configuration menu to play the games). [Fabio Priuli]

- c64: Added ROMs for Indus GT floppy drive. [Ray Carlsen]
- gameboy: added support for the simple multigame mapper used by Mani 4 in 1 (DMG-601-CHN). [Fabio Priuli]
- Completely hooked up 6845 in cardline driver. Documented asic addresses. [Couriersud]
- Implemented writing to Commodore d64/d67/d71/d80/d82 sector images. [Curt Coder]
- Added sector image format for the Commodore 8280 8" floppy drive. [Curt Coder]
- victor9k: Added writing to sector dump disk images. [Curt Coder]
- c4040: Added own sector dump disk format since it's different from what the 1541 uses. [Curt Coder]
- plus4: Default to the 1541 disk drive, since the 1551 is rare and unreliable. [Curt Coder]
- spc1000.c: cassette motor fix so that recording fuction is now working. [Miso Kim]
- sms.c: misc improvements: [Enik Land]
- when GG runs in SMS compatibility mode, avoid access to the PSG stereo register.

- c8050: Added 901884-01 ROM. [Martin Hoffmann-Vetter]
- fsd2: Added REX-DOS. [Julian Perry]
- spc1000.c: Removed minor tape hack. To load tapes you *FIRST* press PLAY on the tape drive (e.g. by pressing 'F2' in partial keyboard emulation mode), and *THEN* you type LOAD at the BASIC prompt. The order of these operations matter. [Fabio Priuli]
