    That’s ridiculous. Even for an emulator.

    The Apple II stuff you need is probably around 512K total. The other poster wanted a MAME full set, which includes a lot of things that aren't Apple II. I mean, except for the Soviet arcade machine that was a II Plus clone internally.

    Could we get it put into a completely finished single zip/7z to download, please?

    Ask an IA admin? 67 GB is more than you can legally fit in a .zip I
    think, but .7z should work.

    Hi,

    "- Started phasing out our old IWM emulation for a new cycle-accurate version based on a decap of the chip. This means all IIc models past the original one can boot .WOZ images now."

    Does that mean that the IIgs emulator aupports woz images?

    "0.210 fixed a problem where the Rev C SCSI Card firmware would wait 60 seconds before booting the HDD if a CD-ROM drive with no disc was present. I haven't quite worked out CD audio yet."
    Does Mame now support audio CDs?

    Thank you,
    Antoine

    Not yet. The IIgs and IIc Plus are still using the legacy IWM implementation because we don't have 3.5" working with the new one yet. Once we do, it will support woz images (and hopefully 3.5" woz images).

    Not yet, I did do some work on it but never finished. I would like to get audio to work though, it would be cool.

    The object is to get it for MAME running under Microsoft Windows on a modern IBM compatible machine with >= 500 GB HDD to emulate everything MAME can.

    Obviously I consider that to be not true. MAME is a framework to emulate anything from a collection of chips, and the wide variety of supported machines helps to perfect those chip emulations.

    Definitely the mother of all emulation projects. Great work, and thanks for engaging here. A very interesting thread.

    Some recent work on a legendary 1980s sampling synthesizer fixed a shared chip error and caused some beloved-to-Brits games based on the UK TV show "The Crystal Maze" to work.

    That is cool. Looking at the videos online, over time the arcade version accumulated some interesting similarities to the Archimedes/PC game!

    Cheers,
    Nick.

    Very interesting.

    I use mame in Ubuntu 20.10 which is 0.224.
    I figured out how to use command line and how to use roms, but one thing not clear to me is if there are any special key shortcuts.

    The only one I got is Alt-F4 to exit the emulator.
    No other key seems to do anything. I read somewhere that ScrollLock should do something, but I could not get it.
    None of the keys mentioned here do anything https://docs.mamedev.org/usingmame/defaultkeys.html

    I feel I am missing something trivial.
