MAME 0.286

# MAME 0.286

It’s time for MAME 0.286, bringing you more adventures in emulation.
This month, we’ve added support for SDL3, which will be used by default
when building on macOS (the default is still SDL2 on other UNIX-like
platforms). You can choose SDL2 or SDL3 by adding OSD=sdl or
OSD=sdl3 to your build options, respectively. There may be
some teething issues, so if you build against SDL3 and things break, let
us know.

In arcade emulation, we’ve added a rare early version of
Mario Bros. (which may have served as the basis for the Apple II port),
the original Tecmo release of Back Fire, and the elusive Monkichicchi no
Fuwafuwa Puzzle. Outside arcades, dozens of systems have seen updates
over the past few weeks, including the ZX Spectrum and its descendants,
the Apple II family and clones, the Epson QX-10, the Canon X-07, and the
Sharp MZ-80B. There are also some nice software list updates, including
the latest prototype cartridge dumps and plenty of homebrew
software.

If you want to read about everything that changed this month, check
out the whatsnew.txt file.
As always, the source code and 64-bit Windows binary packages
are available from our download page.

DREAMM 4.0 released

I've just released version 4.0 of my bespoke LucasArts, Lucasfilm, and Lucas Learning emulator DREAMM. Check it out here: https://dreamm.aarongiles.com/

Now with support for all Lucas-family games released prior to 2000 on DOS, Windows, and FM-Towns, including all 8 Lucas Learning games. Network play is also now supported (experimentally).

Since I always tend to get the same questions when I announce a new DREAMM release, I'll point you to my FAQ as a starting point if you're wondering why DREAMM exists, how it's different from other solutions like ScummVM or DOSBox, or a host of other questions: https://dreamm.aarongiles.com/docs/v40/#faq
