MAME's little brother, MESS, was updated to version 0.87. Here is what is new in this version:
  • System Driver Changes:
  • [APPLE1] Added natural keyboard support.
  • [AMSTRAD] M6845 changes; the Backtro demo now runs.
  • [MICROBEE,EXIDY,VTECH] Implemented a binary quickload device. (bug #599)
  • [NESPAL] Fixed a major slowdown that only affected the PAL version of the NES driver. (bug #457)
  • [VTECH1] Fixed '*' and '+' keys on natural keyboard.

    User Interface Changes:
  • [Windows] Fixed a regression that prevented all customize input, analog controls and configuration dialogs from working on Win95/Win98/WinME.
  • [Windows GUI] Fixed a problem in hash calculation in which UnmapViewOfFile() was not properly being called. (bug #584)
  • [Windows GUI] ZIP paths prefixed with ./ will now have the ./ ignored.

    Source Changes:
  • The core is based on MAME 0.87. This incorporates all features of the update to this core.
  • Major changes to the IODevice structure; made major changes to how they are initialized and iterated. The new technique should be much more maintainable in the long run.
  • Hash tags in hash file now can specify a 'type' attribute that indicates what device type to which any given entry pertains.
You can get it from here.
