MAME v0.53
posted in Emulator Release by outsider on Aug 13th, 2001
New version of MAME. Here's what's new:
We have abandoned the "beta" numbering scheme, which was becoming pointless.
The current version is 0.53 because 0.36 (the last "non-beta" release) + .16
(the number of "beta" releases since then) = 0.52.
