PinMAME is an emulator that emulates the hardware of arcade pinball machines. Exactly two years ago today, they released a version that included sound emulation for the first time. This latest update includes fully functional CAPCOM sound emulation. Here are the changes, starting with bug fixes:
  • Missing 50V Solenoid Detection in Capcom Games fixed (reports as 99V but that's fine)
  • Flipper Football & Kingpin now fire 50V solenoids
  • Data East/Sega 192x64 DMD games should now be as fast as they were in version 1.12.2
  • TMS5220 speech emulation more reliable & accurate
  • Gottlieb System 80A games working again
Also, there are new features, including:
  • Major speed boost in the 68306 cpu core, which means Capcom emulation is now much faster!
  • Fully working Capcom Sound emulation (might still be some minor issues, but overall it's excellent)
  • Added multi chip TMS320AV120 MPG Audio Decoder Sound core
  • Upgraded 8051 CPU core to handle 8752 CPU core functionality
  • Added UART serial port support to 8051 core, plus a few new timer modes
  • Implemented 68306 DUART Serial ports & Timer functionality
  • Added mostly working X9241 Digital EPot to Capcom Sound board emulation
  • Added multi chip capability to the 6845 CRT video driver (will be needed for Gottlieb Strikes N Spares)
  • Added some new features to the debugger (Shift+Enter command, Sound Enabling/Disabling, Stack pointer hilight)
  • Changes to allow sound commander to work in debug mode for easier testing
You can get all three of these emulators on the MAME Emulators page.
